Heading East to coast
On rolling waves
Hair on the breeze
Arms surround
Head bows down
Kiss salty curls
Places I go
To vacate
Vacate

More or less
How can I be less
Of myself to please the world
While still stick around
Time heals not
While I painted bonded
Shards with gold
You failed to see
The cracks in me
Tear us apart
How could one ever
Move on to another
When tears and torment
Tore us apart
Dearest lover
Always in my heart
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
