A magic carpet ride
Source lost and found
Some foreign bazaar
Where incense, spice
And turkish delights
Feast your eyes
From afar
Friends call out
From way below
'Get down from there
You'll hurt yourself!'
Then tell them
'I don't care'
For a vision
Laid out in front
Shows me
As far as only
Mine eye
Can see
Slip back into this
Young person
No longer little ones
Walking sleeping
Puppies
Big ones
Greetings by
The cadence of feet
Percussive
Keeping us all moving
To the same beat
Just to be
Long moments
With each of us
Keeping us connected
Look upon lights
Reflecting in darkness
Near or far
Distance oblivious
Those who stare
Thinking of loved ones
Long away, lost or near
Floating stars
Bring us together
Words crossing over
Tapping on shoulder
No less wondrous
Than the real thing
Eyes our lens
To capture it
Store away for decades
No dust to spoil
Image of beauty
Free to circumnavigate
Our world filled
Existence
To revelate
Eons of thinkers
Dreamers, ideas
Come to fruition
Suspended in space
Why we apply to our persons
These analogies of nature
As I pluck the expired flowers
And spotted leaves
In the midday sun
In my pyjamas
Don't they produce
With time sun rain
The most delicious
Rosehip tea?
But I comply with
Expectations
To make the neighbourhood
Beauty increase
With bright blooms
Swaying on the warm breeze
For people to remark upon
Or else consider
Their most natural state
Caused by neglect
When we glance at things
Both consider the seed
From whence it came
Somewhere like loving hands
Or soles of feet
A birds belly
We gaze upon living things
Nourishment from above
Though call the source
Different things
All knowing we each
Desire respect and love
Chaos catapults all
Suspended in air
Opportunity knocks
When all lands
Fool is wise
To only one thing
Hurting can only be
Signs of life
Prince will worry
With weight
Of authority
Bearing a sword
Undergirding
Compensating
Like four columns
Wonders of love
Wider than amphitheatre
Longer than annuls
Of antiquity
More precious than relics
Yet kept hidden
Behind doors
Words and fears
Forever many years
Whether awake or asleep
A parallel reality
Woven from memory
Laced with dreams
Evades my spaces
Empty rooms
With music
On repeat
Behind closed eyes
Her face reminds me
Promises only keep
When stored safely
Entertaining
All kinds of things
Foreseeable future
Down by the sea
Takes my willing heart
On much needed holiday
While planting seeds
To grow all around me
Time for new faces
Anticipated opening
Green spaces push
Up from soaking rains
Never hesitating
To greet new day
As if reborn
How can we?
One absorbs everyone
Street skate innocents
Remark on my blooms
Pruning rosehips
One wills to muster
A turn of the eye
Sideways remarking
On the weather
Real as concrete grey
Silverlining clouds
Through my hair
Wise highlights
Another covering
Dousing authenticity
New shoots recovered
To appear as one
Young forever
Tell her that you love her
If not with words
Any other thing
Without a doubt
Most important
Need to know
Life or death
By an inch
Holding one
Away from cliff
Sudden drop away
To vast ocean
Of loneliness
Tell her simply
For vast open sky
Meets horizon
High and deep
Where love consumes
Our solitude
We float away
To worlds unknown
Forever
Do we ever get tired
Recharging our hearts
Rebooting our minds?
Taking old wares
For someone to buy?
Sayings recycled
Every single day
I love you
I wish you were mine
Daily dose of colour
If you wish a change
Cover us in glitter
Start a new page
A screenprint in fluoro
A badge, hat, blades
Take me out tomorrow
But promise me today?
From the early hours
As sun peeps over
To see me smiling
As I cast over
Another line
By line
Throw over
My shoulder
Waiting for
The smallest bite
When thoughts caught
Kiss to release
Free from my hands
She has the sea
The one who's hooked
Is me
Count the stars of heaven
