How could one ever
Move on to another
When tears and torment
Tore us apart
Dearest lover
Always in my heart
Tear us apart

Lion’s Tooth
Sun, moon and stars
How you cover my yard
Invasion from whence you came.
Blades mown steel
lost all appeal
Tufts with twits peering
No less lovely
nor miraculous than
bearded friends on hill
Aide for ingestion
modern predilection
for chips and lager swill
Both lovely and spawned
As fair Scottish thistle
Whence my love once came.
To touch or not
Bite like prickle
shivers down tingling skin
Sight for sore eyes
Folklore cure-all
Just like fair silver mane
You
When I look at
I don’t see younger
I see older
With my arms holding
But now I'm missing
Love like
Ground beneath
Catches me
When I fall
Bare in mind
Burst into a new day - as is always
though stomach of lead
Soothing balm of acceptance
clears the head
Long nights cooling extremities
warmed by friction of two feet
Long embrace, tightly wound
whispering pillow talk aloud
Dreams of doll houses, life sized
landlord of childhood fantasies
Glimpse of morning breaking
shakes shadows to the ground
If I topped every peak
wore a floppy hat each week
Acquired mansion by the sea
planted vineyards, pressed for thee
Still, by dawn's clear revelry
no face will hold such clarity
As one who loved and let me be
when I had not a thread to weave
Love like
A stone thrown into the ocean
Waves of grief crash over
My heart fled
Like you said
It could
Again and again
Until it settled
By the sea
Give in
Give in to the water let it swallow you whole may it wash all your cares whisper to your soul that the weight of the world an illusion at best the waves and swell can hold you at rest
Weather with you
Some loves are like a sea
salty touch chill to the skin
blissful diving in
on the fringe waves of grief
crash upon disheveled shores
tumbling in weeds
flotsam and jetsam
Some loves are a range
of mountains and hills
traverse through blinding
snow and wind
sudden change
dappled sun kisses
closed eyes before
hides behind peaks
searching caves within
Some loves are like a cloud
begging me - look up!
enamored by the majesty
of sky mirrored by our
smiles and glances
once dark and stormy sea
takes on new beauty
because of thee
Dearest self
You remind me of
A younger self
Uninhibited
Open the door
At your touch
The bolt falters
Windows to my soul
Lit magnificent colours
Upon grand entrance
Into my world
Take me back
To a time when time
Was unmeasured
Lost in sublime
Hours of hopeful truth
Seamless rewriting
Darning old memories
Luminous awakenings
Love heals all wounds
Jumping Jack Flash
Count the stars of heaven
