Love like

A homing pidgeon
Taking away
To far off places
Letting go
Watching, waiting
Every day
Hoping praying
She'll come home
When she does
Cheers of joy
The sound of
Two wings flapping
White spread feathers
Fantails
Always wondering -
If she flies
In own direction
Wondering whether
She'll be alright
This night

Soft landing

Landing softly on my feet
After jumping
Off a cliff
In the dark
Claws out
Behind me

A sparrow turns
Says to me
This I do
Frequently

Pecking up seed
Nature cared
To scatter
Just for me

Eyeing another
Diving so flippantly
Decided to free fall
In her slip stream

A warm blanket of air
Covers over my landing
Softly swiftly
With ease

Sound tracks

Taking in all surroundings
Tracks on repeat no match
Choosing songs for new life
Old one despatched

Morning wake up call
Lunch time serenade
Evening retreat
Love crush parade

Can you have too much
Of a good thing?
I'd like to try
Reality sinking in

Stockholm's cold
So's my toes
A fire is stoked inside
Where wind can't blow

What's in a name?
Call me what you will
Mother no longer
Babes named me, Lili

A sweet song
Their voices chime
Familiar tunes
Family tones

Voices leave tracks
Erasing time
Cover over old lines
Glorious overgrowth

Women swoon
Swinging low
Crooning over
Heartfelt show

Spurning strife
Tunes tall tower
Mire a moat
Pale in power

Building castles
In my mind
No need for search
Songs always find

Love's soundtrack
In my life

Everybody knows

Small town blues
Speaks volumes
Unearth allies
When in love

They nod and say
Splendid
Hear animation
In every gesture

When faced with her
Only stillness
Silence
Confusion

Where's my chorus
Of witnesses
Who've heard how
Marvelous it is

To be in love
Yet mute
Blissful ignorance
What to do?

Everybody knows
How I feel
Save you

At the mercy
Of the peril
Lost for the words
Everybody knows

Re-member

When we are falling
Apart
We need someone to
Remember
Who we were when
Younger
Taller
Darker
Slender

Putting back together
Pieces
Of our bodies and how we
Connect
In our own story, chosen
Family

Those people who inspire
Courage
Surround yourself with
Love

The day is all we've got
Whether apart or
Together

Who you know

The nature of us all
Interwined betwixt
Soil like black gold
Sky liquid silk

Hidden stories told
Under soled feet
Rubber hits the road
Dreams and days meet

A secret underground
Threads tie us all
Telling tales of
Magnificent scale

Beauty so minute
Rare mysterious
No telling where
It wanders

Growing silently
Inside me
Just below
The surface

Waiting patiently
To arise
Tentative to touch
Hesitant to taste

A glorious surprise
If arrived
Just in time
For me

Moonlight cinema

Star gazing
Big screen
Blue light
All night

Stuck on
Plot twist
Lead femme
Lost me

Wondering
How long
Could I sit
In the dark

Catching
A glimpse
Of reaction
To the sight

Moonlight
Cinema
Gravity
Giving way

Force
Like the first
Star wars
Irresistible

Memories
Imprinted
On reels
Of mind

Never another
First time
Being with you
In my life
