Mastery of the will
One step at a time
Stopping me from
Suspending rhyme
Unconsious games
Tend to the mind
Leaving all behind
The storyline
Is you
Silver words
Stick to the tongue
Measured in spoons
Of unending love
The only story
To write
Between the sheets
A double edged knife
Prolific dripping
Mesmerized sweet
Not an eye sees
Silent ending
Comfort words
Never reaching
Ears intended
Soft receiving
Still quick wit
Over dining tables
Immeasureable
In the mind
Ink for the quill
Divine
Lights out
Dark as ink
Red light blue
Sinking deep
Stillness
Ocean swill
Moving us
Closer
Into the unknown
Swing the sextant
Neverending horizon
Promises never reached
Sunrise sheds light
End of the world
Beers in bars
Raise your glass
Ticker tape parade
Air and water signs
Breathe a torrent
Refuse to shine bright
Still earth revolves
Around you
I get by with a little help
From my friends…
Do you need anybody?
I just want someone to love
Could it be anybody…?
The Beatles
The stories never told
Images never shared
Nothing there is wrong
Just been strong too long
Nothing to fear
But fear itself
Nothing to hide
Reveal yourself
A place where
You and I
Can simply be
By the sea
Surrounding life
Thirsts for the words
To ask for
Dam wall to burst
Decades streaming
Settling sediment
Drowning surroundings
Tide false rising
Darkest night moon
Shines faintly
On the bloom
Seeping in
Cracks facing
Torrent slipping through
Casting down
Terrified of fall
Received willingly
Dry bed bones
Filling swirling eddies
Place to ride home
Debris washed clean
Roots sinking deep
Resurrecting memories
Of life and growth
Long since lost
Centre squeezed tight
Let loose
Years of devastation
Fill the chasm
Restore to normal
Work of man missing
Ebb and flow
All around us
Tide sidles up
To her thigh
Tickles her toes
Bubbles her nose
She smiles hides
Her hopefulness
That love never left
Stored up for years
Only one
River remembered
Longing to enfold
Forever
Friendly voices
Full of love
Envy of attention
Elsewhere
En guard heart
Let not one know
How hard one fell
How still one crawls
How one thought
Fills nights
And mornings
Sleepless
Alone
Nature offers
A gentle reward
For resilience
Still reminiscent
Of you
One day I'll
Accidentally say
The right thing
To draw you in
With me
A blazing fire
turns over
With the line
Over fields
of dark time
Climax contains
Steady camera gaze
A face neither
Smiles nor cries
Home for the morning
Thinly veiled eyes
Hiding midnight sighs
Turn and walk away
Into the night
Holding on so tight
Silence of years
Shouting out
Conquer your fears
Wait for the time
Till then we wander
Only offering
Most valuable
All to save
Nothing but oneself
Can we be brave?
As one body dips
The other swells
Full and bright
Dimmer candlelight
Love is enough
Soon one fades
Other blazes
While sighs turn
Into resolve
Love is enough
Opening lines
Bring smiles repeat
Storylines shout
Love undefeated
Love is enough
Hiding away
Stopping saying
Self mastery
Will and soul
Love is enough
Lost when looking
For the place
Dreams are made
Fiction image erase
Love is enough
Real to bear
Ancient stairwell
Where willing ones
Never meet
Love is enough
Count the stars of heaven
