Crinkles in my eyes
Titles by bedside
Sweet things admired
Sleep songs by night
Not here
Everywhere

Crinkles in my eyes
Titles by bedside
Sweet things admired
Sleep songs by night
Not here
Everywhere

Still the almond blossom
Showers the path
Trodden so confidently
Staring quietly
Wondering where
The wind will carry
Notes riding rays
Brilliant past noon
Sun and moon
Revolve around
Reminding how many
Gazed longingly
Yet still only they
Capture our looks
While we all
Drift far off
To realms unseen

Midsummer night's dream
Extra dollop of cream
Lounging in bars
Gazing at stars
Hearing you sing
Tossing the ring
Talking all night
Treating you right
A deep belly sigh
Riding the high
Knowing whether
to say goodbye

Feeling strong again
Climbing mountains
Blazing saddles
Heading back again
Trappers snowbound
Head for the hills
Luscious pelts
Grey smoke feel
Tidbits in brine
Pipe sipped
Port by the fire
Boots steaming dry
Only come in
To stay the night
Weather's feral
All right
These'll fetch
A pretty penny
In a patchwork town
Friday night
Seaside Daisy's
Walking in
Round 'bout half past ten
Never fear, she'll be here
To fill the boots
Of men

A fragile shell
Exuding warmth
Breathing bodies
Wrapping wool
With love
A beating heart
Releasing beats
Pulsing life
Animate limbs
With joy
A shared presence
Sending thoughts
Creating ease
Illustrate life
With peace
A willing friend
Meeting smiles
Sharing trials
Accepting unseen
With me

Under the surface
Hidden work
Brooding keeping
Leading
Gliding above
Racing surf
Riding meeting
Retreating
Never between
Shall they meet
Till keel swills
Around furious feet
Smooth sailing
So it seems

To fear loss
While never
Yours to begin
Love dwells
Within


Where can I go
To follow
In your footsteps?
To wander
In your stead
All dressed up
To go nowhere
In particular
Lucid dreaming
Takes me somewhere
Far off
Still the sky
Covers us all
Until nightfall
We deconstruct
Consuming warmth
To stay our idleness
To stoke the fire
Inside and out
To tell you
How much
Is enough
With Love

Unseen world
Eludes me
Trapped beneath
Beautiful skin
Feeling like
Sinking in
To seek
Worlds beneath
Yet cannot
Touch
Is rough
Skin we're in
