Lovesong

A blazing fire 
turns over
With the line
Over fields
of dark time

Climax contains
Steady camera gaze
A face neither
Smiles nor cries
Home for the morning

Thinly veiled eyes
Hiding midnight sighs
Turn and walk away
Into the night
Holding on so tight

Silence of years
Shouting out
Conquer your fears
Wait for the time
Till then we wander

Only offering
Most valuable
All to save
Nothing but oneself
Can we be brave?

The Art of Refraction

Light descends 
In shapes and forms
Sometimes yours
Through a face
So beautiful

Taking pictures
In my mind
Flash of smile
Words are kind
Hide inside

Holding hands
By my side
Never touching
Flecks of light
Move on too soon

Chasing rainbows
Absorbing in
Sights and sounds
Making meaning
Riddle me love

Unravelling
Everyday
Rearranging
Colours fade
Kaleidescope

A sweet array
Each colour taste
Hues and blues
A mind parade
Alternate universe

Tea sipped lips
Discern a word
In the stillness
Of morning
Life always dawning

With us

Eyes to see

The love of a bird
Is perched in the soul
High above reason
Boots on the soil

When asked whether dally
And stay for a few
Moments magnified
Sitting with you

To capture an image
Of her in near view
Impossible task
While eyes are glued

Instead taking pictures
In heart and in mind
Chance encounters
Of the feathered kind
