Smiling in the dark
Listening to ebb flow
Waves of her breathing
Washing over
Beating heart
In my throat
Cadence to warm thoughts
Willing her to find
The courage to speak
About us
Eyes adjusting
To blackness
See what tomorrow
Will hold
It is true I can be blue or any other mood Anytime I spend Precious time with you Look up From the bustle our busy lives Settle in So we gently Entwine On the couch No more dallying walking the town Tis clear When clouds part Who's still around
To love you is like
Horizon greeting sunrise
Thankful you've arrived
On a scale of bland to grand
Some ideas seize
By the hand
Come, willing thoughts
Let me lead down garden path
A humble thought experiment
The ingredients are us
Do you dance the tango
Salsa, ballroom or swing?
Be my partner on the floor
Do you mime or sing?
Would you go to Thailand
Egypt, France or NZ?
Do you prefer the seaside
Or mansion in the city?
Would you rather hike
Into the wilderness, or ride?
Perfect night out?
Or in, or both until retired?
The need to entertain
The needs of one another's
Thoughts
The clash of minds
Can give off sparks
Like New Year's fireworks
While if they coincide
Minds grow contented
As they are
These thoughts, kind companions
Never leave us alone
Centuries of sandy foot prints
Embedded in the shore
Sure steps leading to waters edge
Surveying the rip tide
Wading safely to peel
Tiny creatures away
From their silken kelp
Homes to adorn
Dining tables laced with
Filigree crochet
And tall stories
She places delicate treasures
On her window sill
To recall every
Underwater adventure
The hollow echo
Of the conch's curl
Beckons her to deep
Longing for more
Pearl shines in colours
Glint of eye and
Flash of teeth
Sandy skin soft hairs
Stand on end
As the tide
Her dreamscapes
Roll in
In fiction I would be
A tea and scones librarian
With a secret archive
The contents of which
Was derived from many
Hours of polite
Conversations
How the mind
May wander
Is a marvellous
Thing indeed
Odds for and against
From the beginning
Like scouring every beach
For hidden treasure
Buried in millions
Grains of sand
Stories of the past
Washing over 'til hidden
Lucid dreams and memories
All that remains
As easy as it shone
Summer is over
Long nights are gone
Behind closed lids
New leaf tips arise
Bulbs push above
The memory never dies
Else we delight
In each day
And every season
Even rains fall
All year round
Eyes like the sky
After a storm
Mine clear
Yours clouded
Goodnight grey sky
See you in the morning
Let me take your photo here
So you'll always remember
The moment I fell for you
An allsort
How does sweet
Laced with salty
Match so perfectly
In the mouth?
Why spliced delights
Sit so long
On the shelf?
How gay colours
Say to blackness
Don't ever change
Yourself...
Knowing well
Never the same
Without the other
Many layered love
Count the stars of heaven
