Just a little bit

Why we apply to our persons
These analogies of nature
As I pluck the expired flowers
And spotted leaves
In the midday sun
In my pyjamas
Don't they produce
With time sun rain
The most delicious
Rosehip tea?
But I comply with
Expectations
To make the neighbourhood
Beauty increase
With bright blooms
Swaying on the warm breeze
For people to remark upon
Or else consider
Their most natural state
Caused by neglect
When we glance at things
Both consider the seed
From whence it came
Somewhere like loving hands
Or soles of feet
A birds belly
We gaze upon living things
Nourishment from above
Though call the source
Different things
All knowing we each
Desire respect and love

Queen of second chances

Chaos catapults all
Suspended in air
Opportunity knocks
When all lands

Fool is wise
To only one thing
Hurting can only be
Signs of life

Prince will worry
With weight
Of authority
Bearing a sword

Undergirding
Compensating
Like four columns
Wonders of love

Wider than amphitheatre
Longer than annuls
Of antiquity
More precious than relics

Yet kept hidden
Behind doors
Words and fears
Forever many years

Some kind of love

Are we a race
For reasons of
Posterity
Or keep above
The rising flood
Of market share
Or do I dare
To love?

To have a knack
To win with words
Imagine this
Remember that
It catches you
In early morn
Then wonder if
A fiction born

Oh happy day
When people teem
Grabbing bears
Near bakery
Order flowers
Queue for hours
To save the Ferris
Wheel for lovers

Once a year
Soft centred ones
Splurge and lift
Spending slump

Whereupon
I'd daily make
English muffin
Strawberry jam
Fish and chips
By Sandy Bay
Coffee brunch
A piece of cake

As if to spot
Rarest flower
Outside your window
Everyday
Exotic birds
Fly south and make
Their home in
Unmown grass of late

Imagined love
Meets daily wake
A pose, a glimpse
We hesitate
A ritual
To meditate
On one so loved
Of late

Not what matters

Where I live
Where I work
How I speak
Free time perks

How much time
On my hands
How I went
Travelling lands

Who my friends
Like to be
What I drink
Films I see

How I look
What I wear
Whether lippie
Or some flares

Punch drunk
Over jab
Wiping tables
Keeping tabs

All I want
Is to be
In love
With you
