Whispers
Spending my days
Writing to ghosts
Of my past
Asking them to
Reveal themselves
Materialise before eyes
But they refuse
Thump, thud, voices
In the night
All contrived
By my mind and heart
Convinced I don't live
In this world alone
Colonies of tall trees
To sea grasses swaying
On movement of ocean breeze
Salt spray dries
Salty tears
Unfathomable depths
Overcome latent fears
Echoes of waves
Lap at my back, soothingly
Whisper to mine ears
You are never alone
In the natural world
Adore you
Provenance
I wandered aimlessly
From camp
Collecting kindling
For my kin
Surveying burnt out
Trunks of old memories
Till one day sun
Illuminated
A fresh young patch
Tender mouths open
To the sky
Nestled inside
A hallowed stump
I pondered upon
Their origin
Flying in on breeze
Lineage significant
In world of humans
While evolution of
Plants and animals
Takes centuries
We people are adept
At changing
So frequently
Sometimes in just
One moment
From mate to prey
Solace
Brisk pinch of crisp rivers tears
Whitewater noise fills my ears
Trickling down all these years
Solace soothes heart fears
Ocean blues
Vivid recollections
Dreams wash away blues
Dust collections
Blown by southern front
Lucid imagination
Crosses over into
My everyday world
A parallel reality
I breathe to dive
Into temptation
An undersea world
To find you
Timbre of the heart II
Dear lover, in absentia
I whisper into shells
Over whether all I gave
Was yours or for myself
Rigid cool of cave
Calms inner storms
Black ink air stale
Smothers fright and fawn
Tentacles do weave
Embroider heart strings
Plucked ruefully
Timbre displeasing
- of course-
To thine ears
Beholden
Desire chose me
It felt powerful
Yet, my achilles
Object of beauty
Beholds natural world
But never oneself
As admirable
Longing to tell
Though never believed
Truth which burns
Within me
In plain sight
Smooth places made
Turbulent
Delighted smiles turned
Strained
Vulnerability is
Compromised
Intelligence used to
Detonate
Childlike innocence
Smothered
Wisdom sown
Uprooted
Voice of justice
Silenced
Creative forces
Unglued
Elders presence
Ghosted
Protest voices
Dispersed
Shed a tear
For all the years
Silence
Made things worse
Point break
Sheer gravity lures
Decades forces pulls
Finally free and yours
Pinnacle of wave
Break over rocky shore
Thrill bouyancy
Every time she responds
To me
Takes to the edge
Bright white sandy smile
Flashes behind eyes
Everywhere I see
Words etched into
Cliff face story
Eroding crumbling
Debunked history
Tideline moves along
With moonlight spree
Voice like wind on waves
Whispers to me
Adrenaline fades
Until next ride
Point break
Count the stars of heaven
