In the way of this world
Having someone to love
Like pinning wings
To a wooden board
Life is short
Belongings dust trophies
On an ivory shelf
Ne'er do such wrong
To yours or oneself
Ivory shelf

Barely
As soon as you think
This is more than I can bear
Just wait
You will soon be given more
Honestly
Vulnerability
is the bravest act
anyone can do
regardless of the reviews
It is those without such courage
Who sit quietly rating you
Daily dose
Y'know, I live in hot water
So it feels these days
It burns at first
Heat rises up my cheeks
Thinking of you is like
Steeping in a tea bag
Some milk and honey
To sweeten
Y'know, it hurts like hell
To have your heart broke
But truly, it pains me
To live without
Your milk and honey
In my mind
May we live long enough
To come full circle
Find one another
With empty arms
The second time round
Open minds, willing hearts
One can only hope
Waking hour
Silence is sweet vessel
For lost worlds of time
Words surround warmed
By captured sunrise
Seal
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother
Hearts ease
Yours is the only
Sacred world I know
Minutiae of delights
Dripped from branches
Conjures fantasies
In foreign lands
Show me the way in
Ritual initiations
I wait, dew gathering
Under my skin
Bushfire moon
I suspect
Stream of emotion
Ebb and flow
Words wired
Tied to rise
Fall of pride
Tender moonlight
On edge
Twice in one year
I have been spurned
By one I dedicated
All future selves to
I smelled the edge
Stepped backwards
Felt the rush of
Bone breaking waves
Wind on my face
Venture out beyond
Foaming titillating
Swell tickling sand
I always come back
Knowing as deep
As orange roughy sea
Future love waits
For me
Mind palace
Necessarily, roof fell in
Doors broken down
Used as rustic tables
In the palace of the mind
What once segregated
Now feeds community
In stark inhospitable
Places fringe dwellers
I framed you differently
Than you allowed
Reckoned upon forever
Happiness elusive
Go about our business
Making homecooked life
Ones you might like
Hope someone looks after you
If I can’t hold you
In my arms
Count the stars of heaven
