Springing in

Frost a friendly blanket
For future flowering
Forcing an awakening
Fragrance overpowering
Framing my windows
Faithful friend
Freeing again

The Great Repose

Contentment seeps in
As in unison
Voices chime
Goodbye
Knowing it's not
Our last

In such a state
We are retained
Yet our hearts
And minds
Run free

Reuniting with words
Meeting on curbs
Harbour views
And bars
For two

To the Belle,

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.

Little fellow friend
Visiting less frequently
Makes each occasion
A happenchance
To see you flit
Happily and freely
Lifts my heart
Captures your image
Teasingly

Be free

Love letter to B

Dear B,

Your memory has captured me
In a moment I unravel
At the thought
Of how I left
So alone and bereft
Remembering your face
Gives no relief
Be well knowing
All of me recalls
The way it felt
To be alone
With love.

Words on repeat

A silent morse code
Pulsing across waves
Heart beat
Constant

A flashing light probe
Late night glows
Lighthouse
Comfort

A font pouring out
Case in point
Dreaming
Contain

All saying sameness
Suredness daily
Proclaiming
Calming

Read this
Only one
To miss

Divine Femme

Who laid out
All the stars
In their spheres
For me to admire

Do you sense
Your power
Over me?

The muse's muse
who broke
Cupid's heart

She is calling
Me out
Crawling out
Of my shell

To what end?
To admire her
And her world

Her stories
to tell

My Lady Betty, 1820-35.

I broke my heart somewhere between vanilla slice and lemon tart.
