A tender ache
Waking crisp
White morning
Hazy gaze
Over hills
By afternoon
Floodlight
Adorn footfalls
Evening swoon
Face shines
Only constant
Beneath the moon
Love like

Longing
Enveloping my whole body
I dive in tentatively
The cool surface shocks
My skin pricks lightly
My feet shake it off
Pressure builds in ears
Presses on eyelids
I feel the warm embrace
Of weightlessness
It surrounds me
Cradles softly
Like mothers arms
Holds up backflip
Lifts to lie breathing
Grateful for air
Contemplating its gift
Longing of water
Fills my mouth and nose
Ears and hair
Every crevice tenderly
Seal broke free
Finding new colony
Rest on her shores
Till we meet again
Ocean and me
Old fashioned
Mine an old fashioned
Kind of silent movie
Secret smiles
Behind closed doors
Writing captions
Never spoken
Lying in bed
For hours
Only thinking
What's behind
Velvet curtain?
Sending flowers
Anonymous note
The rush and glitz
Glamour of colour
Took over my world
In the stillness
And quiet
Reminisce gentle images
Black and white
Sepia tones
The colour of my dreams
Hers the only rainbow
That matters
Words
When words fail to capture
Thousands fall away
Freedom belies
Breath escapes
A sigh
Love
Unrequited
Mirror image
Standing here reflecting
On how many ways
My body is here
But the rest
Is somewhere else
With you
Falling softly
Petals of intention
Fell softly on my ears
Floating to the floor
Covered over many years
In every gentle way
She shed truth that I'd forgot
Yet all the choice I heard
Was 'she loves me'~ yes or not?
In this land of make believe
Is where I've made my home
A hundred paper cranes
Tell me how to spot fool's gold
Lover, sister, friend
Only three chords that I play
Spiralled round a seashell heart
As tea sipped smiling fades
Love like
A tidal wave
We all want to
Be bombarded
With love
Post-service
As desert rose
Where the dirt
Lapped up
Falling droplets
Thirst a daily
Familial ritual
Now I turn and see
The high tide mark
Since last week
And beg to breathe
Bloom and grow
Among kindness
Where gentle waters
Steep near
Woolly Tea Trees
By the creek
Quietly
Tempered
Did you notice the subtle ways
Women temper one another?
Like fine blades of steel
No, softer
Turning coarse wool
Into fine threads
Fondled softly
Between fingers
Three strands
Lover, fighter, friend
My freedom ride
To secure my attire
Take me into
Foul weather
A message received
'Yes please!'
Knowing not meant
For me
One to be
The cool breeze
Telling me
To tread carefully
Love is not all
That it seems
As lanolin coats
My fingers
Threadbare
I watch and listen
And wait to dare again
Never to let
The sharp ones
Fray your thread
Quantum
Immeasurable love
No bounds or limits
Growing exponentially
In response to
Space filled silence
Expanding forever
Into the spectrum
Of stardust
Magnificence
Meanwhile on earth
My two hearts
Explore the inside
Of a tardis
Whirling around me
Though bigger
On the inside
Only takes me
Where I don't
Want to go
One heart palpitates
While the other stable
Who can love twice
In one human body?
Present defines reality
Limited to words
I cannot say aloud
Push the big button
See where it goes?
Take me back
To the time
Before sliding doors
Closed
Dunes
Dunes are meant to wander
Lest they fall prey
To the lure of the ocean
Siren waves pursuing her
Endlessly to smother
May she remain free
For the breeze
Is her lover
Count the stars of heaven
