I choose to give all
Love willingly
Receive
While holding on to
The rest of me, daily
Revive
Love a turning of seasons
To renew not survive
Enliven
Ad infinitum

Sound of silence
Modern living presents Small portrait-sized Black-mirror windows Into foreign lands Full of pop wisdom Highs like sherbet sticks Rainbows that fade soon as We hit the power button We are not bound up in pixels Love hearts, thumbs up To bow your neck Squint though fingerprints Smile lingers only a moment I give you sunrise and sunsets Wishing stones falling through Lapping waves glistening Paw prints and hellos I give you the awkward moments When I realise I poured my heart out You received it willingly I am silent in thankfulness I hold my breath waiting For you to speak Exhaled step by step Cadence of time together Waiting for one another In the sound of silence
High time
To settle beneath the mire
Of the hightide line
Strewn with seagrass exiled
From its sheltered home
Love drawn between tides
On the shoreline
Melts away with
Wind, rain and storm
Rising sea urges us onwards
Upwards where winged creatures
Hilltop looking for mates
Resting in the glades
Showing true colours
The whole time
Reflecting chance rays
Of sunshine
Fly away
I keep returning to safe place
In my heart of hearts
Where secrets don't need
To be erased
Where I can love who I love
Offer no explanations
Where we're free to walk
Fields of life arm in arm
How can it be
On the sunniest day
Of the year
There's a storm inside?
To my surprise
Five black birds in the sky
Predicted winds of change
In your eyes
Rising
You may never know
Until you let go
Whether there's
Something else
To hold on to
Liquid light
On the spectrum from belief
To nilpotent
I may be strung along
Like a row of pearls
When lightning strikes
The heart of her
She ignites
Fuels her desire
My sweet exterior melts
Reduced to a puddle
To mirror her exuberance
To the sky
Till she hides under blanket
For the night
Star signs
My youngest was born
On your birthday
All those years ago
He is kind, wise and generous
Born under the same sign
I'd lost memories like quicksand
Till I saw you, resurrected
Now I have dreams to protect you
From prying lips and eyes
All hours I spent
Watching, wondering
Which words would suffice to say
Now I clumsily write them down
In hope for brighter days
I left the lap of nature
For a piece on heritage street
Left behind a part of me
I am yet to retrieve
I long to nurture another
Tending to their wounds
Catching any words that fall
Just like you did for me
Cast over
Astounding
How I shed my dreams
To please them
Nature therapy
If the push pull
Of love seems tough
Remember how to keep
Your heart tender
Recall the one lost
Push back her hair
Hold her cheek
Listen to her speak
Let her words seep
Into the cracks
Unkempt skin
Grown thick
Only to peel away
Layers of regret
Reveal a fine form
Of kind understanding
Safe harbour
Shall I harbour
All my feelings
Over a week or two
Or brave the unknown
Weather or not
Of spending time
With you?
