A cassette tape
Wondering which side
To play
The part where
You sang my song
Asked me over
Then all went wrong
Ever since
A pencil stuck
Winding the wheel
Twisted reel
Crimped ribbon
Sticky tape
Hoping praying
Put it back
Will play
That song
Again
Small town blues
Speaks volumes
Unearth allies
When in love
They nod and say
Splendid
Hear animation
In every gesture
When faced with her
Only stillness
Silence
Confusion
Where's my chorus
Of witnesses
Who've heard how
Marvelous it is
To be in love
Yet mute
Blissful ignorance
What to do?
Everybody knows
How I feel
Save you
At the mercy
Of the peril
Lost for the words
Everybody knows
When we are falling
Apart
We need someone to
Remember
Who we were when
Younger
Taller
Darker
Slender
Putting back together
Pieces
Of our bodies and how we
Connect
In our own story, chosen
Family
Those people who inspire
Courage
Surround yourself with
Love
The day is all we've got
Whether apart or
Together
Arms that hold
Wherever you roam
Far and wide
Dark and cold
Ears that hear
All the words
Voice rises high
Mine consoles
Mind that tends
To every thought
Never abandoned
Knows its want
Eyes that appeal
To the pain
An unknown future
May be regained
The nature of us all
Interwined betwixt
Soil like black gold
Sky liquid silk
Hidden stories told
Under soled feet
Rubber hits the road
Dreams and days meet
A secret underground
Threads tie us all
Telling tales of
Magnificent scale
Beauty so minute
Rare mysterious
No telling where
It wanders
Growing silently
Inside me
Just below
The surface
Waiting patiently
To arise
Tentative to touch
Hesitant to taste
A glorious surprise
If arrived
Just in time
For me
Star gazing
Big screen
Blue light
All night
Stuck on
Plot twist
Lead femme
Lost me
Wondering
How long
Could I sit
In the dark
Catching
A glimpse
Of reaction
To the sight
Moonlight
Cinema
Gravity
Giving way
Force
Like the first
Star wars
Irresistible
Memories
Imprinted
On reels
Of mind
Never another
First time
Being with you
In my life
Herein contains
All the words
I cannot say
Though truly
Misses lost ones
That can't be said
With words
A warm igloo
In frozen tundra
A shady oasis
In desert down under
A cool clear pool
On white hot sands
A fresh trout stream
On vast open lands
A ripe berry vine
In dry scrub bush
A quiet space
In mid city rush
Elemental forces
We cannot contain
She comes to me
Like a forest fire
Cleansing opening
Ingiting on the breeze
Spreading seeds
Clearing debris
What holds us fast
From inevitable pain
We search seemingly
Aimlessly
It is always there
Hiding plain sight
A thrilling dare
To make it known
Love is never
In vain
'The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, no they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no they can't take that away from me
We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Still I'll always,
always keep
the memory of...'
They Can't Take That Away~ Song by Billie Holiday
In week of want
She fell
Barely breathing
Soft down
Mother beaten
By quoll creeping
By midnight
Took her all
Plucked up
Tucked inside
The crevice of
My cleavage
Feeling beats
Smelling skin
Plucking courage
To cuddle in
Come by night
Settle in
On straw
Under lamp light
By morn I woke
She lay still
Crushed by
Weight of
Loneliness
Sometimes
Only hearing
Beats feeling
Spark of love
Healing
None else
Can be
Our light
Count the stars of heaven
