Behind closed doors
Concertos applaud
Vacant space
Unadorned
With gazing eyes
Wondrous smiles
Shoulder shrug
Of thrilling chills
Why keep such love
Of life's liszt
Behind closed doors
When all ears could feel
This beauty
Hidden theatre

How long?
How long can we last
Without sunshine
Sustenance
Living water?
How far can we go
On two legs
Two wheels
Four tyres?
How many weeks
Can I laugh out loud
Suppress a smile
Dream a while?
How long have you got?
As surely as
Leaves are biding
Their time till fall
Soaking in sunshine
Cascading green wall
Clouds cover mountains
Blanketing dew
Drifting to sea
Each morning new
Human way of being
If ever any question
Is we're always feeling
All feel the same as you
No eye dear
Placing one pair
Of bird watching
Binoculars
Inside the cap
Of a navy hat
The dichotomy
Of my life
In a cardboard box
To move again
Another new start
This one makes ten
I recall the power
Of words
And silence
Both can make
You laugh
Or cry
Both can be used
As weapons
Or protection
So I look keenly
Through looking glass
At feathered friends
Deserving our attention
While hiding away
To collect
Dust and mites
Gold braid
Felt and thread
That hold together
Memories
Of a time
When men were blind
If only I understood
That my words
Held power
Over you
I would use it
For good
To say only
I love you
If I could
Falling
Swept
Breath
Fall
Off their feet
Taken away
On their knees
Sounds divine?
We have a lifetime
To work it out
How to live in love
From this position
Upturned
Breathless
Lying low
We will need
Every day
However long
It should take
To know
How to stand
Held hands
Walk on
Allport Library and Museum Collection, State Library of Tasmania.
Both sides now
When the shoe fits
On the other foot
A new perspective
Holding on edge
Of her world
Every time we meet
In the public eye
I wonder whether
The luckiest am I
Every time we see
Another night
I wonder whether
The last sight
Every time we hear
The same old songs
I wonder whether
They're ever wrong
Every time we lie
Wanting nothing
I wonder whether
Love we bring can
Let it be
Rearview
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
Love like
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
Soft landing
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
Sound tracks
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
Count the stars of heaven
