Steamy fragrances
Swimming in leaves
Milk and honey
Refresh and steep
Composing verses
Surreptitiously
Touch to lips
Lids linger
Lips languidly
Lost in prose
Patterns painted
Delicately
Acknowledged
Dismissed for
A longer brew
Of you

Steamy fragrances
Swimming in leaves
Milk and honey
Refresh and steep
Composing verses
Surreptitiously
Touch to lips
Lids linger
Lips languidly
Lost in prose
Patterns painted
Delicately
Acknowledged
Dismissed for
A longer brew
Of you

Beautiful bones
Breathing life
Enraptured
Erasing
Replacing
Shedding skin
Rooming in
Tender
Beneath fragile surface
Weaving connections
Creating flow
Life again
Apply daily
Liberally

Only seeing you
Wounded
Realise
How I long
For your healing

Here and now
We open ourselves
To our surrounds
Seamless sounds
Word wounds
Love scars
World tours
Lost and found
Return in silence
Sound waves
Rolling in
Restoring all
Wrapping me
Inscribing
On my mind
With love

It’s hard to love someone more than you love yourself.

You paint dreamscapes on the wall.
Taylor Swift, Peace

Frost a friendly blanket
For future flowering
Forcing an awakening
Fragrance overpowering
Framing my windows
Faithful friend
Freeing again

I am caught in this puzzle of myself.
Charlie Parr

Contentment seeps in
As in unison
Voices chime
Goodbye
Knowing it's not
Our last
In such a state
We are retained
Yet our hearts
And minds
Run free
Reuniting with words
Meeting on curbs
Harbour views
And bars
For two

The view from below
Makes me swoon
In rooms full of love
And sultry tunes
The footsteps stop
The band is silenced
As all eyes revere
The wonderment
In my eyes
As you appear
With love.
