She bought me bubble tea
Sweet treats in the middle
Of the day
Mine a chocolate butterfly
With a caramel centre
Wrapped in pink foil
Delightful
Found poetry
Sweet treats

Embrace
Stone cold metropolis
Gruelling southern front
Shades of grey surround
How many colours blue
Can one feel
Without you?
Of utmost importance
To gravitate towards
Such a warm affectionate
Lover kissing skin pink
By evening
Sting but turns earthy
Tones as memory of her
Softens
Ode to the day
One clear day
When sky lids
Close half over
Weep gently
Pull on seal
Skin over
Locking in
Blood warmth
Cacophony of
Pleasure
Metered out
In spades
Splash of cymbals
Crash of waves
Roll of tides
Wash round headland
Where Antarctic
And Eastern
Currents meet
Across my face
Wakening
Tingles up
Spine lest
Wonder
Tick and slip
Shells and silk
Fronds of green
Stick to shore
Long to cover
Over me
Once more round
Mind wander
Thinking space
Underneath glassy
Mirror of sky
Face hides
Quiet applause
Of claws
Mussels galore
Conquest of sorts
Long length
Of the bay
Poised for posterity
Single woman cast into
The outback to attend to
Learning of young ones
Bright eyes blinking
Out the windows
To the river leading
To the open sea
Thoughts drifting
Past sand bars
Shore birds nesting
Raising young
Where ancestors raised
A barrel to the sky
For sport or feathered
Game on dinner table
Singular woman
Opens the door
To conserve a future
For the world
Where the lives of
The smallest voiceless
Are preserved
To learn of love
Vast eye in the sky
Long lashes in clouds
Tells me all I learned
From love
How to sing
Sonnets day long
While silent
Gently playing
Vinyl rotating
Turn a trite saying
Into midnight devotion
How to be singular
In constant conversation
With absent lover
Find common ground
With old objects
Of affection
A face blushed
Shining for another
Telling what one
Is capable of
Existing in skin
No trading it in
A lifetime lived
In imagination
To wake with dawn
Cradle in arms
A babe of newborn
Intention
Spirit of content
Breathes within
While flotsam
Swirl, slip downstream
Whispers and gossip
Trade ways to leave
Such thoughts here
Are homeless
There body aches
No explanation
Tall tales begging
To leave again
Love well taught
Who saddles
Dark mountain
Un amour sans chagrin
Ashes
Showering rain opens
Fallen of yesterday
Buried in layers
Soaking in ready
For new openings
Rising again
A new green shoot
Fresh and bare
Untouched
Sensitive to grazing
Unfurled plentiful
Placeholders populate
Hold on to precious
Earth newly nourished
To cover over through
The dawning years
From now on
We won't hide ourselves
From the light
Love's anthem plays
All through the night
Love like
A placebo
Telling me
All is well
Feeling like
A strong drug
Really just
A sugar pill
Taking edge off
Daily drain
Duty doldrums
Hours mundane
Out of place
A smiling face
In a sea of
Working grey
Filling me
With signs
Wonders
Whispering
A brave poet
In love by morning
On the turning away
Entering into void
Sideless convex slope
Taking you down
Into space
Ejecting lifeless forms
Breathless pressure
Tender organs
Enveloped in atmosphere
Another world
Return to firmness
Cheek against ground
Gasped as one
Breathing their first
Looking around
Chrystal clear light
Shines all about
Reflections eyes
Smiling down
Speaking softly
Taking my arm
Astounded
Leading by hand
Counting my minutes
Since landing
Count the stars of heaven
