A flourishing filagree
Sprawls across imagination
Possible only by
Space left between
Shelves of memories
Some on display
Others never seen again
Holding space

Hope awakens
Light and gentle movement
Stretch and bolster vitality
Sending hope waves through the brain.
Invitations to Sunday afternoon
Drives winding through rainforest
Sunlight dapples breath taking
To a hotel nestled in gentle folds
Of ancient mountain.
Return to oneself.
Bathe in possibility lain broken.
Dare not feed the narrative of turbulent deep dreams
Though if disturbed by slumber's provocative story telling
Hope awakens with bird song daily
Dreams escaped
To a reality which is perhaps dull in comparison.
Love grows
Trembling knees, wringing hands
Short of speech, time demands
Nervous smile, staring gaze
Waking in a temporal haze
Awe of vast firmament
Cloudless starstruck night in tent
Firmly does the body know
Love of wild ancient lands does grow
Cancel cure
Trials and fails of fiction
Matches made in low-lit bars,cafe's and gas stations.
Shake off sticky cling of connection plagued by interference.
The Editor stands looming over head.
Hiding in some alpine cloud or cave under ridgeline.
Heavy pen pressed to storyline.
Poised, ready to edit me out of one's life.
Stories untold
Hesitant is a friend until the next wave of my wandering.
Stories untold how to salvage after the fire consumes everything
End is not always loss when so much worth was claimed.
Happenstance turned us both down left and right field of remembrance.
Standing at opposite sides of the will, wake up to all the things you said.
Let it blaze inside the mind for a wishful younger self.
Spurn at the thought of marked embrace, that leftover sweet touch of soft centre pending.

Spending time with you
I fairly always knew
Never to call you 'mine'
Even though it's true
Sinking feeling
Ever since that time
You flew away
Across the strait
For poignant day
My heart sank
Never again would I allow
My heart to be
Shipwrecked
Without a life-raft
We exist in a temporal way
In some parallel galaxy
Where our minds float
Willingly among dreams
Not our bodies
A kaleidescope of loves
Exist within one bond
How to split affection
Across the diaspora?
One token affection
Placed in a box
Pride of mantle
To deliver new year
Gathering dust
How do I know?
We all cried out
With our spiral perms
Bouncing in disco blue light
How I know?..
Walking longing on leash
Through swathes of native grassland
Hoping against all hope
To find a glimmer of flower
More delicious than weed
Rolling in bed with heartburn
Late into night and early morn
Standing in the kitchen alone with thoughts
Salvaging burnt toast again
.. if this is really love
Listening to songs of mourn
Tributes to ache across eons
On repeat
Wonder where the strength
Is found within
As time goes on
Their pulse overtakes mine
Face more alluring
Lines soften and fade
Walls fall
Clothes line the floor
No turning around
Or so I've found
Burst
Beauty of holding
Breath expelled
Quick succession
Balloon fills its girth
Hearts beat like hooves
On cup day
Tension mounts
Truth like a pin prick
Bursts as flaccid pieces
Fall gently at four feet
Questions at ease
Posed so handsomely
Hold hands and jump
Into a sea of soliloquy
Knowing who one wants to be
Wayfaring strangers are we
Flight of the butterfly
Lighter than a coin
Tickle my fingertip
If it were to alight
Upon my point
Drifting aimless
Blustery winds
Tumultuous, feral
Wearing nothing but scales
Aching, tender
Shedding colour
Under weight of shelter
Another's touch
Fleeting, painfully shy
Obscuring its beauty
Soon as footsteps pass by
My heart, the butterfly.
Count the stars of heaven
