We won't hide ourselves
From the light
Love's anthem plays
All through the night
From now on

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
Poetry in motion
Papillons
Is clear there's something
Between us
That which keeps us apart
Holds us together
Rather than deter
It makes me want
You more
The image I portray
Is simply a gentle fear
That if it were to disappear
Our love would fade away
150
Minutes between moments
Thoughts of you invade
A peaceful sit in protest
Against monotony of reality
Millimetres the space
Where my heat beats
Radiates like the drum
Out on the street
Metres of pages lining
The walls of my mind
Tapped out tentatively
Over the hours and days
Centimetres safe distance
From fantasy to fiction
Grasping for equality
To love another like me
Number of pages
In the novella
Of a short sweet
Love story
Years between us
When we find out how
This story ends
Before rewritten again
Three love
Can't take my eyes
Off the game
Playing singles
Staring at opponent
Seeing double
Affected by one
On the sidelines
Waiting to notice
The score
The faults
The bad calls
Only chatting
To a friend
Watching them
Taking my eyes off
The ball
Shooting past head
Then a slam
Unattainable
In a game with
Naught but love
Southern Cross
To bear
Not to blame
Open the gates
Running away
Pointing star
Toward the void
Seemingly endless
Space between us
In the silence
Flag flying
Falls and furls
To the ground
Fences down
She crosses over
Settlers land
Like she always did
On Bruny Island
Feet tread lightly
Lately leaders
Learn to follow
Across fallow fields
On her heels
Cotton wool covering
Envelopes the sky
Carpeted canopy
Of green lay over
Caress of waves lap
At the edges
This is her land
Forever
Somewhere only we know
Where on this earth
Is there a place to call home?
With resting silence
Chattering streams
Sounds of chirping
In the groves
Do we climb a mountain
And take a ride down
On the rainbow?
Deep blue grey eyes
Watch same coloured clouds
Drift heavily towards us
Like moving mountains
Though weightless to our eyes
Powerful forces hold them
In the sky
A bridge that divides
Also unites
Seasoned minds recall
The day it came down
After rolling the dice
On their way home
So their lives revolve
Staying on side
Never daring to cross
For fear of remembering
Nervously teetering
On edge of floating bridge
Sea spray enveloping
Same waters harmlessly
Tickle toes
At Opossum Bay
We make it look easy
To love
Because we know
Anything else
Than familiarity
Is beyond us
Confronting disparity
If we met by chance
- How many people on this earth? -
Would lady luck allow
Another turn
To find one other
Standing beside
In a place
Made for us
Heart
Patiently beating away
All the years
Percussive maintenance
For flaws and foibles
Of what I do to you
Loving my body
Choosing to care
For me first
Symbiotic relationship
One to another
Heart to brain
Recall my strength
Of resolve to love
When all else has
Forgot
