Escape the cacophony
Flocks, herds and hives
Filling mind abuzz
Wandering fencelines
Break free from roots
Fly to where
No one keeps you down
Let the sun simply
Be your guide
Flying north

Somewhere..
There is one
Name renown never
Escapes me
Endless numbered loves
Marked at birth a name so entrancing Eros saved psyche to Pour forth her blessing Born under star to rise Fall over and over For love Waiting for one Whose gravitas Can claim her
Echo
Earthy tunes
Still ringing in my
Burning ears
Love like
Hemingway Not drowning, waving Until one dives in How frigid the lake How deep or shallow Revealing hidden treasures Tantalizing Or catastrophic bones lie Which one am I? Topography of life Safely viewed from above While others step lightly Weightless Bounding off continental shelf Bravely onwards
Absent note
Too many important notes
I miss in your absence
Like the fact my hands
Hold each other alone
Arms reach round only
Giant pillow
Body used to cold
Tired, willing to lie down
Last but not least
Skin of lips dry
Whole being awakens
Sparks fire inside
Once you arrive
All at sea
No longer lying
Languidly in the shallows
Deep calls to deeper
Hearty goodness
Dear Friend and Love,
I could so very easily
Fall fast and deeply
In love with you
Turn to soft marshmallow
When I hug your insides
Like grandmother's
Raspberry flummery
But no, it won't do
That to be so sweet
You can only take me
In small doses
On grand occasion
Instead, I aspire to be
Hearty bone broth for you
Sipped daily
With dark brew
To make you glow
Stronger
Love like
Aurora lights
While night sky
Overcast
Steeped in tea
But still
Magnificent colour
Dancing hidden
Inside of me
Sunset glow
We gift one another
Ample breathing space
To stretch the heavens
And earth between
Our waists
To render our thorn
Incapable of harm
Life as eternal summer
Soft shadow of looks
Cast behind us
Carry the weight
Of expectations
Where does your caravan
Take you, chasing sunsets?
In our sundowning years
Will we hold on
Till each a feather?
Strength yours to mine
Tussling fine fair heads
Offspring of better dreams
Each day carefully measured
From blink to downy rest
Smiles spark inhaling
Lines of chatter
Cascading like glitter
Observe the many watchful ways
I notice your sunlight
From within
Bask in it
Count the stars of heaven
