Time stands still
On the frontier
Of our goodwill
Rest in place
Heart is warm
Yet bones are chill
Listen for longer
Song of whipoorwill
If none have ears
Is love a bitter pill?
Sun peeps too soon
Rest in me until
Wattle bloom in June
Gone too soon
I am sent out
To look for love
In remote places
Just as you
Following your voice
Leads me on
Paths turn away
How do I send
Love to you
Now?
If I dared
Come to you
A longer look
Plucked courage
To hold closer
Would it hurt
Me or you?
I feel your pain
With love
I long to hear
All the stories
Over and over
To infinity
Traced in silver
Gold filagree
Time is new
On every hearing
Making meaning
Being with you
Long enough
For words repeated
Story songs
Needle touches groove
And sings memories
Your face never fades
Dreaming of blue skies
Untethered torrents
Smallest glimpse
Of lightness
Carried me safely
Over troubled waters
No way knowing if
Our journey's ongoing
How do I let go
Of you?
Steamy fragrances
Swimming in leaves
Milk and honey
Refresh and steep
Composing verses
Surreptitiously
Touch to lips
Lids linger
Lips languidly
Lost in prose
Patterns painted
Delicately
Acknowledged
Dismissed for
A longer brew
Of you
Only seeing you
Wounded
Realise
How I long
For your healing
Here and now
We open ourselves
To our surrounds
Seamless sounds
Word wounds
Love scars
World tours
Lost and found
Return in silence
Sound waves
Rolling in
Restoring all
Wrapping me
Inscribing
On my mind
With love
Frost a friendly blanket
For future flowering
Forcing an awakening
Fragrance overpowering
Framing my windows
Faithful friend
Freeing again
The view from below
Makes me swoon
In rooms full of love
And sultry tunes
The footsteps stop
The band is silenced
As all eyes revere
The wonderment
In my eyes
As you appear
With love.
Count the stars of heaven
