B Line

Who makes a B Line
Following rays to pollen
When the honey is at home
The thrill of the chase
Beeing with the swarm
Senses wake by morn
Out the door
To wonder sorely
Where to go
Who with today?
Knowing always
She sits at home waiting
Not to say a thing
The sweetest to see
Yet the joy is in
The making
Oh to make a B Line
For her every single day
Leaving the buzz and rush
To hive and hibernate
A smoke screen
Makes us drowsy
So we forget to love
Wholeheartedly
Flee for time being
Glory of alluring
Garden variety
My queen and I

Liquid love

A tale of modern peril
Our cup receives all
Gobstopper sized marbles
Stress weighs us all
Next fit the shiny
Glittery gems
The friends and family
Who never hem in
Sift through the cracks
The sensory spaces
Fine sand of stories
A treasure of faces
When life's limitations
Walls cold hard and thin
One love pours over
Holds everything in

Falling softly

Petals of intention
Fell softly on my ears
Floating to the floor
Covered over many years

In every gentle way
She shed truth that I'd forgot
Yet all the choice I heard
Was 'she loves me'~ yes or not?

In this land of make believe
Is where I've made my home
A hundred paper cranes
Tell me how to spot fool's gold

Lover, sister, friend
Only three chords that I play
Spiralled round a seashell heart
As tea sipped smiling fades

Love like

A tidal wave
We all want to
Be bombarded
With love
Post-service
As desert rose
Where the dirt
Lapped up
Falling droplets
Thirst a daily
Familial ritual
Now I turn and see
The high tide mark
Since last week
And beg to breathe
Bloom and grow
Among kindness
Where gentle waters
Steep near
Woolly Tea Trees
By the creek
Quietly

Tempered

Did you notice the subtle ways
Women temper one another?
Like fine blades of steel
No, softer
Turning coarse wool
Into fine threads
Fondled softly
Between fingers
Three strands
Lover, fighter, friend
My freedom ride
To secure my attire
Take me into
Foul weather
A message received
'Yes please!'
Knowing not meant
For me
One to be
The cool breeze
Telling me
To tread carefully
Love is not all
That it seems
As lanolin coats
My fingers
Threadbare
I watch and listen
And wait to dare again

Never to let
The sharp ones
Fray your thread

Quantum

Immeasurable love
No bounds or limits
Growing exponentially
In response to
Space filled silence
Expanding forever
Into the spectrum
Of stardust
Magnificence

Meanwhile on earth
My two hearts
Explore the inside
Of a tardis
Whirling around me
Though bigger
On the inside
Only takes me
Where I don't
Want to go

One heart palpitates
While the other stable
Who can love twice
In one human body?
Present defines reality
Limited to words
I cannot say aloud
Push the big button
See where it goes?

Take me back
To the time
Before sliding doors
Closed

Invisible mountain

When the mountain is invisible
We walk on our memories
Our constant changing sun
Fog lights flourescent white
Guiding us home
While we bide our time
For Western Winds to thrive
To push delirium way out
For the ocean to disperse
Meanwhile hold my hand
Lest we trip on the tip
Of a stone cold moss
Covered path
Delighting in treasures
While they last
You too are one

The garden

Tucked away out of sight
Its secrets lay open
We stroll leisurely
Hopping over tendrils
Peeling back vines
Reminiscent year past
Time allows us
To laugh over
Misspoke words
Jealous greenery
We pause as sunbeams
Illuminate dainty
Cheeks of ripe peach
Silence grows
Like fruiting trees
The seed of many
More meetings
Served with humble pie
And cream
A future like this
Is dear to me
