Rich dark chocolate
Crema on a flat white
Tremble rolling bowling
Slippery smooth
Lips touched by wine
Low lights
Sinking eyes
Blues in bed room
Mezzo alto lullaby
Singings strings
Rosin glide
Hearing harmonics slide
When you speak
Into my life

A multiverse grows
Out and beyond
Over and within
Unexplainable
To the naked eye
One only sees a light
A smile a look
A gracious word or two
The only way I know
How to love you
Is in spacious place
Wide open spaces
Long learnings ago
I hoped for one
To explore the cavern
Find the open door
My mind is endlessly
Travelling back forth
But pinpoints perfectly
On one such as yourself
'Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate,
That Time will come and take my love away.
This thought is as a death, which cannot choose
But weep to have that which it fears to lose'
~ Shakespeare Sonnet 64
A cocoon
Urging me
I have all
I need
Spinning round
Intimately
Fine silk
Weaving
Remaking
Every cell
To offer
Freedom
A bus stop
Evoking
Memories of
Endless waiting
Playing hopscotch
Leapfrog to
The next stop
Looking overshoulder
For my number
Standing back
If not
Not chancing it
Not getting lost
Walking the route
All the way
If needed
Enjoying
The scenery
In case
I missed
The bus
I dedicate my writings
Dear Fanny Cochrane Smith
I lived upon her land
Learned what gratitude is
It healed my very wounded
Heart, spirit, mind
So I wish to return
To all of her kind
~written on kunanyi lutruwita / Mt Wellington Tasmania
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
Stardust fell into ocean
Crept up with evening tide
Tickled my toes, my thighs
Wrapped round my wrists
Like diamonds
Telling me all gifts given
To lovers and friends adored
Return to me times seven
When waves rise on this shore
Do we ever get tired
Recharging our hearts
Rebooting our minds?
Taking old wares
For someone to buy?
Sayings recycled
Every single day
I love you
I wish you were mine
Daily dose of colour
If you wish a change
Cover us in glitter
Start a new page
A screenprint in fluoro
A badge, hat, blades
Take me out tomorrow
But promise me today?
World presents digital pixels
Eyes adjust to scenery
Day long listening
To hearts on repeat
Stories neverending
Appeals, demands
Longings, refusals
Understanding
A girl in the background
Crying
Dog barking
Train horn in Dehli
Automatic voice
On the Toongabbie line
Selling my song
No cleaner air
Than what I breathe
Come down toward
Just shy of Antarctic
Weather is fine here
How could you think twice?
Count the stars of heaven
