Earthy tunes
Still ringing in my
Burning ears

Love like
Aurora lights
While night sky
Overcast
Steeped in tea
But still
Magnificent colour
Dancing hidden
Inside of me
Room with a view
She told me her dreams
Now I meditate on how
To realise them
All the ways
I want to know you
All the ways you're beautiful
From the inside out
Me before you
Jill of all trades
Lifesaver, dawn breaker
Pool pacer
Hearth watcher
Ball catcher
Friend to hidden
Worlds unknown
Just debator
Navigator
Peacemaker
Unveil hidden
Latent potential
Me first
Then you
Till next time
Pull at my heart
Knowing your power
Over me
First thing this morning
A peace settles
Over me
I'm floored in awe
Your light shines
Over me
Wait ever patiently
For this phase to grow
Over me
Will you choose clouds
Far off landscapes
Over me?
Set free
There's no greater grief
Than the love that was never
Allowed to be freed
How it feels
To know you deeply
By life experience
How it feels
To lift someone up
On your shoulders
Only to be pushed down
Bury me standing
How it feels
To be kept in shadows
Of a gas giant
Evading their orbiting moons
Enabling their gravity
To destroy all
In your path
This is not me
This is not you
Circling Jupiter
Late discovered
What if we found
Each other too soon?
Wait patiently
For orbits to lock
So to know
How it feels
For life to revolve
Around you
A brush with love
I know now with clarity
That looking back affords
How beautiful the night
When I wanted to be yours
I know now with certainty
Chain reaction of emotion
Catapults my life
Beyond debris of an explosion
I know now with compassion
The path laid out behind
A shared choice for us
Out of love for our kind
I know with creativity
The pictures in my mind
Painted with colours of
Courage you helped me find
I know now with confidence
The downpour from above
Came not from vulnerability
A rare brush with real love
Fire season
Barely recovered
Just one glass
Sparked a flame
Wild rampaging
When you walked
Away
Strangely tended
Just one face
Lingers all night
Soothed, tamed
Falling rains
Stay
