That which I deeply
Wish to know
Would surely
Break my heart
Conundrum

Chasing rainbows
Do not let the blizzard
Keep you locked away
Inside, unawares
Of whether the weather
Will change
When you could set sail
For smooth waters
You're better to be
Chasing rainbows
This house I built
Decades saved, not wasted, this house I built
Devoted hands, gainful work, nights and weekends
Searched longingly up and down, high streets and low
Waiting for my heart to jump out, at the sight of her
Saved, invested, scrimped and pawned
Hoping one day, enter new dawn
Window closed, garden bare, I set upon the terrace stair
Knocked and waited, in the rain
Admiring abalone strewn along front wall
Evidence of inhabitants, though no one there
Someone lived inside once, absence inlaid in rainbow pearl
Me and view of quaint corner garden, sandstone steps
Panorama or paranormal, needn't matter
This house, I have built with hearts and hands
Love inhabits and dwells always, echoes in empty rooms
Filled with laughter, stories and poems
My life, I have built, a shelter from storms
Will water soil for one-day blooms.
I didn’t make my bed
This morning
I was cleaning up instead
After my well fed children
While they rest their weary head
I didn't cook dinner this evening
It was the children's turn
They argued over whether to have
Snitzel, sausage or lamb
I didn't make the carnival
Athletics, swim, cross country
I had to work that day
That week, all year and couldn't come
I couldn't take a holiday
My leave was all used up
From tending to the snotty noses, headaches, wheeze and coughs.
But every day is fun around here, we laugh and listen and care
But lay a word of criticism to the mothers out there..
Do you dare?
Love like
A place holder
Lorem ipso facto
How long can arms
Hold open, waiting?
Empty until the sight
Of them fills
With envy & loss
That is not who we are
We are love uncontained
By modern predilection
My love, an apparition
Residing somewhere
In the sun
While I hide
Under the waves
Waiting for the unknown
Write my way out of -
Inhabit this space
You and me
Blue gum trees
Nestled sheltered
From cool breeze
Sun trap soaks
Into our leaves
Crown shy why
We never sieze
A moment to touch
Though underneath
Far from birds eye
Roots like tentacles
Happily entwine
First breath
Caught a glimpse of you
It parted persistent
Heavy cloud cover
Light penetrated
Darkest places
Waking breath
Laced with sunshine
You on my mind
Gloss
My grieving for loss of
You changed me
But I'd never want
To change back
Sink in
Silvery blue sheen
A veil covering
Wild creatures deep
Rising to shallows
Flash past my feet
Ray of speckled flight
Effortless grace
Takes my heart skipping
Into the waves
Arise completely changed
On becoming
Belonging can be
A divided word
Home on one side
Ownership the other
How to become mine
Alone?
Count the stars of heaven
