Urgently wish
To kiss you
Instead, waited years
Climbed high mountains
To coincide with
Long-held promise
Of blooming again

Urgently wish
To kiss you
Instead, waited years
Climbed high mountains
To coincide with
Long-held promise
Of blooming again

Beauty is beheld
On breezy shores
Stranger smiles
Open doors
Strings course
Over fragile skin
Time is worn
Borne within

Blustery spring
Rattles my windows
Within
Batten down the lids
Promises of snow drift
Footprints on photos
Places I never go
Lift my mood somewhat
All I know
Is to write my heart out
Send wishes on the wind
That is all I can do
When the wind
Whips through me

Dancing in waves
Clifftop winds
Faeries on parade
While I trip down
Sandstone path
To the place where
Minutiae of death
Washes ashore
In shells and stones
A place where love lived
A childhood once before

Just look upon the face
Of the one you love
Whether warm, soft, kissable
A cold screen digital
Or black and white frame
Tell me how
In many ways
Over seemingly endless days
Though memory, pixels, ink
Lost or faded
Throb of the heart only grows
Stronger each day

Climbing Sundew, Drosera planchonii, the bridal rainbow.
We connect
Tread over my own
Footsteps way back
Discerning size and shape
Tread, big, little,
Human, bird, dog
These sands hold memories
A lifetime of growing up
Scenes I can only imagine

Fringe of highways
Byways iridescent green
Shrouded in bird twits
Pinging through drone
Of rubber on road
So too, contentment
Seeps into my bones
Like a syncopated spring
Soaking of rain
I glow
Quirky quips, tips and flirts
Bounce from my lips
I know
There is only one
Way to go

Just when I vow to never
Wish nor want anything
Ever again
Tell tears never to fall
Shake fears like raindrops
Head clearing, smiles lift
Clouds part only a bit
Cruising slow over bridge
Home run, day's done
Suddenly hear her name
Simmer
In my ears

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

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
