Something changed
While I was waiting
For you too

Inspiritus
Into life we delve
Retrieve treasure
Fossick through debris
Until we come up
Breathing, gasping
Wantonly inspired
To give shape
Form with words
So to reach
Into another's soul
To revive, cool, soothe
Another heart on fire
Burning out all fuel
Staring at smoking remains
She looks up and smiles
Whispers my name
Stories grow legs
Read themselves
Back to me
Giving life to them
Now never
Alone
Secret archive
In the deep recesses
Of the palace
Of the mind
Quaint catalogue boxes
Sit idly weaving
Lacy silk
Gartered webs
Across time stained
Decks of cards
Full of chance
Now expired
No waste of space
In the twilight hours
They levitate and spin
Like Papillon on
A spring day
As bulbs emerge
From the clay
In cocoon of dream
Memories play
To lure me out
Of myself
To mingle with life
As it never happened
Inspire possibility
A springboard
To love well
To hope
For more
The darkest side
'It's the darkest side
Of my heart that dies
When you come to me
It's the golden ticket
I win when you
Kill my enemies
When I die I'm alive
When I lose I find
My identity...'
~ The Middle East
Love like
Roots and leaves
Grounding
Reaching above
Two affections
Opposing directions
One hidden one seen
A vast intricate network
Tapping into streams
When cold and dark
Storm rips apart
She holds me gently
Tough enough
Never letting go
Of what sustains us
Long limbs climb
Dance in the air
Entwine
Soak rays absorb rain
Glorious colour
Flower fruits
Enough to feed
Seven monkeys
Birds butterflies bees
Long life of love
Rooted deeply
Flying free
Switch
How long
Before your heart
Cries out in pain
That gentle ache
Derails thought train
Upon seeing one
Long wished for
Like hard to reach
Itch to scratch
Then spot on
A flick switch
Instantly constant
You are there
Eyes wide in front
Staring into all
My weary bones
Until such time
The big reveal
Both hearts appeal
Sense asks questions
Grapples reason
A schoolyard scrabble
Yet like the sun
Peeping through
Heart never tires
Of loving you
Wild
Wish only upon constant
Stars in orbit
Planets seen unknown
Determined to absorb
Passing matter
Take onboard
What the universe
Discards to glow
Ever brighter
Cavernous depth explored
Abounds with lights
In darkness
Eyes and luminous
Minibeasts in their
Thousands
Galaxies above and beneath
Still in between
One captures our attention
Immersed in lands
So small one could
Be forgiven for
Passing by without
A second glance
Such as her
Gently weathered words
Eloquently fashioned
If you find this one
Whose wild eyed look
Enhances depth perception
Do not keep hold of her
Let her roam at will
Follow the trail
Of stardust left
In each footstep
So you may live
A life long imagined
A trip around the sun
I'm always welcoming its glorious rays
Until such time when it burns
365 days of waiting for change
Unable to take lesson
From the ever-revolving earth and sun
The distance is necessary
For any closer and I will melt
Into a mess of apologies and pleads
Regretting everything and nothing at all
Can't live without her yet small doses daily
Long months absent cause my bones and all to ache
No quick pill taken on a particular date can replace
The life-giving moment
When I see your face
Colours come down
It takes more courage
Than a thousand men
In arms
To tell someone
You love them
Like a bugle sound
On cold morning
Never more defeated
Than when the colours
Touch the ground
A slow burning begins
An eternal flame
That never goes out
When the trumpet sound
Not repeated
Open doors
Standing waiting pacing
Peering out windows
Ticking in time
Percussive ache of heart
Noise all else silence
Pensive
Anticipating
Even furbabes watch
In wonderment
Excitement contagion
Tilting heads towards
Open doors as latch
Unleashes the wind
She comes in
For a moment we are
The only ones
In the world
Thinking the same thing
If only this wasn't
Also the way they leave
Me alone again
Their body warmth leaves
The air a few degrees
Easier to breathe
Tucked up to nose at night
Lips sigh
Eyes still savouring
The sight of them
Closed
Count the stars of heaven
