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

Invisible mountain
When the mountain is invisible
We walk on our memories
Our constant changing sun
Fog lights flourescent white
Guiding us home
While we bide our time
For Western Winds to thrive
To push delirium way out
For the ocean to disperse
Meanwhile hold my hand
Lest we trip on the tip
Of a stone cold moss
Covered path
Delighting in treasures
While they last
You too are one
The garden
Tucked away out of sight
Its secrets lay open
We stroll leisurely
Hopping over tendrils
Peeling back vines
Reminiscent year past
Time allows us
To laugh over
Misspoke words
Jealous greenery
We pause as sunbeams
Illuminate dainty
Cheeks of ripe peach
Silence grows
Like fruiting trees
The seed of many
More meetings
Served with humble pie
And cream
A future like this
Is dear to me
A year since tomorrow
I started a trend
Since hearing a word
Laid eyes on a friend
A sense caught me reeling
No putting back in
My eyes stealing jaffas
Down cinema aisle
My hands itched to hold
Secured under thighs
I smiled uncontrollably
In all the sad scenes
Mind danced the tango
In moments serene
I dared ask another
Calendar moment
A hug and a whisper
Dazed in her glow
Nonsensical laughs
Happy cry the way home
Pouring heart out
To a friend
On the phone
Like a Kinder surprise
A taste and a trinket
Never too old
For love's sinking feeling
Somewhere still
The single greatest
Motivator
Found ever far or wide
A flood of love
From memories
That rise with
Morning tide
It energises
Opens lids
Reluctant limbs
Lift high
Take hand to any
Task unsatisfied
Since evenin' by
The relics stand
High and proud
Resemble who they are
A glimpse of them
A tonic for the
Churning thought to calm
When day is done
The quiet mind
Sends signal
To the place
Where somewhere still
They go about
Their neverending race
A certainty flies over me
A picture of good health
But if not I can rest
Assured my love might
Strengthen well
The little things
The little things
I learned from love
You can never
Have enough
Though fast or starve
Run far from it
It always
Catches up
I give you
All the words I have
And surely treasure yours
As writers, sisters
Daughters, friends
I could not ask
For more
Love like
A mystery box
Address unknown
Unmarked label
Quiet content
Wrapping noted
Secure string
Love handled
Over years
Remended many
Tender frays
Never opened
Treasured
Always
I woke up
Then dreamt of yesterday
All the days leading
Up to it
Slowly
Surely
Like a breeze
Gaining strength
To power a fleet
Of silent sailboats
Against the tide
So unlike a race
Us two ran last
Holding hands
Did not capsize
Basked in the sun
Caught fish
Explored vast islands
Spent time
All we had left of it
Till the finish line
Softly and tenderly
We tell one another
We have and do
Always will
Love one and another
Forever till
Death do we part
I will catch a hint of smile
Leftover from a lover
Warm myself by it
Like a bedside candle flame
Bright orange
Thank their souls
For loving us so well
Mine is an evergreen
Glint in my eye
That turns to the sky
Drink in her memory
Crossing snow-covered peak
Parade lest it fade
Love is applied daily
Soaking in more than skin deep
She reads me well
That faroff look
Still dances with you alone
Silence falls our music plays
On repeat
Count the stars of heaven
