A certain spell
Grips tightly
Wrapping fondly
Cocooned
Feeling creeps in
Never felt before
Never again?
Flying free now
To joyful end
On the wind
Homeward bound
Life is won
Paths unknown
Finding a way
With love

A certain spell

There was an elder
Of mine own
Who spoke of rights
Assured of tone
He longed for pride
Of place on stone
Of pulpit
Matrimonium
To look over
Young ones
In their finery
Decry the love
Of Others
Unauthorized
When facing our
Mortality
Tongues are loose
Unconformity
Daze has come
and gone for me
When will again
A mystery
I'll sit in a grove
And speak the truth
With love that even
Forests approve
All may gather
And stories be heard
To embrace the days
Love covered
The earth

A mirror
Can't bear to
Open my eyes
Under covers
Hide
Alter reality
Two dimensional
Altar ego responds
Completely to me
Yet every touch
Cold
Do I need to
Be like you
To like you
Like I do?
I do
Loving me
Means
Loving you
Is it a crime to?
All the shades
Of blue reflect
To infinity
With you

Woman, when you believe My story and my song No word or note Need emanate again You nod resignation Soothe cracked lips Silence creeps in Swiftly by morning No badge of bravery Be worn out and down I am changeable As the tide In ancient forests You heal me As I lie in wait For another dawn song Settling within To begin again

A new puppy
A longing overcomes
Subtly over time
Then suddenly undone
Sleepless nights
Frequent walks
Accidental strife
Adorable, warm
A love not chosen
Like a spell cast
Wooing bright eyes
Mesmerised at last
I'll walk my love
Down every street
Doggy park
Beach retreat
Nodding at fellow
Lovers off leash
Tied to feelings
Unfathomable
Feeling responsible
For daily care
Falling asleep
Nestled in there
Such is the way
Of owning your own
In love with you
Who knew?
Strange how the music
Can say what lies inside
Better than own lips
Better still, silence
Reveals a sonnet
Of secrets
That moment between words
When the body speaks
To affirm or contradict
Knowing moves
Of safety
Alone with thoughts
On the edge of wild
Never live lonely
Affect writes thesis
Of sanity
Wondering brain waves
Sing on wind and wire
Telegraph of love
Words no limit
Of sound
Don't Stop.

Fingers curl
Firm and fine
Tender and strong
Curiously hide
Brushing away
Wounds of yesterday
Laughing reciting
Memories opening
Adventures in love
Happening upon
Fragrant finds
Drinking in senses
Rarities afew
Treasures abound
Waiting minute more
With you

A fresh gust of reality
Bites hard against
The skin
Sea spray sand blasts
Smooth stones against
The rocks
Shells hollow and warm
Release life amidst
The storm
Taken by wind or strike
Lofty feathers fly in
The heat
Still ruffled by strife
Tending precious ones
The heart
Decades dedicated two
So few remained
The start
Every time is new again
With you

Deeper still calling
Come in
The way is unknown
Tides swell and recede
With the mood
Horizon is hidden
Come away
How far does it go?
Bid well the shallows
Into the blue
With you

Streets of my town
Taken to wits end
Edge of the precipice
Dark history amend
Not long since
A new breeze swept
Through winding lanes
Rows of vines well kept
As if breathed new air
Kept pace petite feet
Leading me down
Swans and starlings greet
Once again sandstone town
Sits longingly by river seat
Stands tall and proud
Once again, my retreat
