We won't hide ourselves
From the light
Love's anthem plays
All through the night

We won't hide ourselves
From the light
Love's anthem plays
All through the night
Keeping us connected
Look upon lights
Reflecting in darkness
Near or far
Distance oblivious
Those who stare
Thinking of loved ones
Long away, lost or near
Floating stars
Bring us together
Words crossing over
Tapping on shoulder
No less wondrous
Than the real thing
Eyes our lens
To capture it
Store away for decades
No dust to spoil
Image of beauty
Free to circumnavigate
Our world filled
Existence
To revelate
Eons of thinkers
Dreamers, ideas
Come to fruition
Suspended in space
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

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
Making mountains out of trenches
Growing roots connecting
Healing broken paths empty
Life abounding arising
Remaking returning
Unleashing spores free
To be born again

A placebo
Telling me
All is well
Feeling like
A strong drug
Really just
A sugar pill
Taking edge off
Daily drain
Duty doldrums
Hours mundane
Out of place
A smiling face
In a sea of
Working grey
Filling me
With signs
Wonders
Whispering
A brave poet

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

In the sweet bye and bye
Everyday entreat
Hourly mystique
Receive a gentle word
You heard last week
The call of song
Echoing through trees
Tiny drops of dew
Swaying on leaves
Neither force of nature
Or crowd to please
Could take away
The sweetness of being
Here in the present
Surrounded by good things
Inspired by the love
Of good friends
Like a butterfly sanctuary
Remembering how to keep
Love safe and free
Keeping her memory
With me

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

A mountain spring
Cool and clear
Need to live
The more I have
The more I give
Keeping me
Away from edge
Steadying me
Dizzy head
Giving out
Above and beneath
The surface
Giving beauty and life
To everything
