The little things
I learned from love
You can never
Have enough
Though fast or starve
Run far from it
It always
Catches up

The little things
I learned from love
You can never
Have enough
Though fast or starve
Run far from it
It always
Catches up

You were all things to me
Breathing air seeing none
You meant the whole world
Revolving the sun
Reliving lost dreams
That fled once awake
Exploring new ground
No claiming a stake
Imagining lives
We never would live
Biding our time
For someone to give

How many ways I'll tell
Lengths and miles I'd go
To prove what you
Already know
I'd win Master chef
Learn to cook
World's best
Find tea of Ceylon
Brew delicious
Breakfast cup
Kick start business
Buy your dream
Beach house
Licence to fly
Drop you in
Western Wilds
Sail boat to ride
Marine exploring
Ocean tide
I'll take you all
These places
On our imagination
But only time
And place I have
Right here and now
Beside

Be poor and in love
Living on tea and vegies
Hear love sing out loud
Than make up songs about it
Live in a yurt fancy free
Than find a home without you
Stay, wait and wonder
Than solo sail world round
See your face again
Than know everything about you
Close my eyes and count to ten
Than hide in the dark to be found

All that glitters
Is not gold
In zero gravity
Feel free and easy
But unavoidable
Collisions with
Floating debris
Leave me speechless
On the far
Distant galaxy
My star lights the way
She is bright and sparkly
Unnamed oft spoken
Constant in the sky
Can we consume
Drifting asteroids
Wandering satellites
That hinder us?
We are but dust
If I shine
We collide
Will we repel
Explode
Create a new world?
Or at least
Glow brighter
Unto ourselves
While dark stillness
Between us
Illuminates
Stories untold
I like your spots
The way you hang on
When the going gets rough
Then fly away
When you've had enough
I always feel
You make my day
When you come into
My world
You are one to marvel
But hard to catch
The day I saw you
I met my match

Tell her that you love her
If not with words
Any other thing
Without a doubt
Most important
Need to know
Life or death
By an inch
Holding one
Away from cliff
Sudden drop away
To vast ocean
Of loneliness
Tell her simply
For vast open sky
Meets horizon
High and deep
Where love consumes
Our solitude
We float away
To worlds unknown
Forever

A multiverse grows
Out and beyond
Over and within
Unexplainable
To the naked eye
One only sees a light
A smile a look
A gracious word or two
The only way I know
How to love you
Is in spacious place
Wide open spaces
Long learnings ago
I hoped for one
To explore the cavern
Find the open door
My mind is endlessly
Travelling back forth
But pinpoints perfectly
On one such as yourself

A cocoon
Urging me
I have all
I need
Spinning round
Intimately
Fine silk
Weaving
Remaking
Every cell
To offer
Freedom

A bus stop
Evoking
Memories of
Endless waiting
Playing hopscotch
Leapfrog to
The next stop
Looking overshoulder
For my number
Standing back
If not
Not chancing it
Not getting lost
Walking the route
All the way
If needed
Enjoying
The scenery
In case
I missed
The bus
