Pounding pavement
To heavy beat
Lyrical mind
Street light
For years
Out for beers
Surfing couch
Playing it out
Pictures fleeting
Across the mind
Though deleted
Etched in time
The places we went
Together simply
By sharing
A moment in pixels
Strange to wish
Yourself into being
Jealous of seeing
Family and friends
One day I will find
When put first
In my kind
My tribe
What it's like
To be loved by all
Arise alone
And smile
If I'd grown
Nearby
Looking up to
Those girls
Where would I be now?
Like driving forwards
Watching rearview mirror
Dangerously close to me
Tailgating memories
Love to love
Feet and hands
Ears and curls
Voice and jokes
Wonder when
The deal broke
Misty rear
Window view
Written off
After only
A few months
When really
All was written
For you
Contentment came naturally
Stillness wrapped fondly
Hope prolonged willingly
Atmosphere pregnant
Calm absorbed easily
When standing inside
Where storm chasers hide
Rush of alternate reality
In the epicentre
As chaos abounds
Words flung around
Presence resides
With you
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
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
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
A cassette tape
Wondering which side
To play
The part where
You sang my song
Asked me over
Then all went wrong
Ever since
A pencil stuck
Winding the wheel
Twisted reel
Crimped ribbon
Sticky tape
Hoping praying
Put it back
Will play
That song
Again
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
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
Arms that hold
Wherever you roam
Far and wide
Dark and cold
Ears that hear
All the words
Voice rises high
Mine consoles
Mind that tends
To every thought
Never abandoned
Knows its want
Eyes that appeal
To the pain
An unknown future
May be regained
Count the stars of heaven
