No longer lying
Languidly in the shallows
Deep calls to deeper
All at sea

Hearty goodness
Dear Friend and Love,
I could so very easily
Fall fast and deeply
In love with you
Turn to soft marshmallow
When I hug your insides
Like grandmother's
Raspberry flummery
But no, it won't do
That to be so sweet
You can only take me
In small doses
On grand occasion
Instead, I aspire to be
Hearty bone broth for you
Sipped daily
With dark brew
To make you glow
Stronger
Love like
Aurora lights
While night sky
Overcast
Steeped in tea
But still
Magnificent colour
Dancing hidden
Inside of me
Sunset glow
We gift one another
Ample breathing space
To stretch the heavens
And earth between
Our waists
To render our thorn
Incapable of harm
Life as eternal summer
Soft shadow of looks
Cast behind us
Carry the weight
Of expectations
Where does your caravan
Take you, chasing sunsets?
In our sundowning years
Will we hold on
Till each a feather?
Strength yours to mine
Tussling fine fair heads
Offspring of better dreams
Each day carefully measured
From blink to downy rest
Smiles spark inhaling
Lines of chatter
Cascading like glitter
Observe the many watchful ways
I notice your sunlight
From within
Bask in it
Room with a view
She told me her dreams
Now I meditate on how
To realise them
Here it comes again
I'd rather
Love with tear drops than
Love you not
Heaven
I see you
Close my eyes to dream
Count the stars
Don’t panic
Poetry
A kind of torture
By Vogons
Entrancement
Ever revealing dream
To hold in my arms
Sweetness of the maker
In her peaceful slumber
She is irresistible
Smiles willingly
At my entrancement
Holds tightly to
Newborn revelation
My gift to nurture
Upon waking, momentarily
Snuff out feeble flame
Hopes and aspirations
Borne out of longing
Loneliness deprivation
Old growth affection
Survives years unknown
Wild rampaging fires
Simply to fall, hollow
All on its own
To graciously make way
For new life
All the ways
I want to know you
All the ways you're beautiful
From the inside out
Count the stars of heaven
