Decades saved, not wasted, this house I built Devoted hands, gainful work, nights and weekends Searched longingly up and down, high streets and low Waiting for my heart to jump out, at the sight of her Saved, invested, scrimped and pawned Hoping one day, enter new dawn Window closed, garden bare, I set upon the terrace stair Knocked and waited, in the rain Admiring abalone strewn along front wall Evidence of inhabitants, though no one there Someone lived inside once, absence inlaid in rainbow pearl Me and view of quaint corner garden, sandstone steps Panorama or paranormal, needn't matter This house, I have built with hearts and hands Love inhabits and dwells always, echoes in empty rooms Filled with laughter, stories and poems My life, I have built, a shelter from storms Will water soil for one-day blooms.
A place holder Lorem ipso facto How long can arms Hold open, waiting? Empty until the sight Of them fills With envy & loss That is not who we are We are love uncontained By modern predilection My love, an apparition Residing somewhere In the sun While I hide Under the waves Waiting for the unknown Write my way out of - Inhabit this space
Bee clinging to willing Herebores with violets watching on.
Blue gum trees Nestled sheltered From cool breeze Sun trap soaks Into our leaves Crown shy why We never sieze A moment to touch Though underneath Far from birds eye Roots like tentacles Happily entwine
Billowing whirls gather Overhead A forecast of soft landing Warmth barely touches Crisp chill end of nose Light breaks through The dark silence Mardi gras of sea birds Swoop through swaying masts On parade
Silvery blue sheen A veil covering Wild creatures deep Rising to shallows Flash past my feet Ray of speckled flight Effortless grace Takes my heart skipping Into the waves Arise completely changed
Bobbing on the verge Southern Ocean Paddling along the cusp Apex breeding grounds Rise and fall tide surge Rocks inner core Evading the inevitable Return to reality The sea calls to me Like a lover every Sleepy morn
Quiet Corner, Adventure Bay, Bruny Island, Tasmania
