If only one knew the varietal
Upon first sight
One would not wonder why
Petals faded
After such a short time
Once saw the blush of full bloom
Though only an old image
Ill wondered if my touch
Would arouse another season
Bloom with you

Happy wanderer
One who sorely knows
Hearts are happy wanderers
Gladly lets love go
Evergreen
Summer entrances
Thoughts of her dancing on breeze
Listless waking dreams
Many times her gaze
As bronzed kiss on nape of neck
Refuses to fade
Fever held tighter
One day of love lasts lifetimes
Burst seed sown in mind
Orchid eye
At last, hope all but declined
To fill the void and vacant mind
Unthinkingly returned to find
Her soft response - as silk - sublime
Flesh of petal, down of breeze
Float respondent, clasped with ease
A moment rendered skips repeat
Upon the joy bells fringe appease
Wavering as the hooded green
Time was all a seasoned dream
Though orchid eyes all summer roam
Abiding sight I've never known
Blackbirds and Nightingales
Once a many ravens Perched on picnic walls Encroaching so daringly Staring back and forth Babes in arms were cradled Toddlers stopped from harm Backed away hauntingly Edge from warm spring calm Escape to caves below Calcified remains. Hundred years a column Ancestors' way laid Cacophany of cries Heard across the skies Sharp eye of witnesses Those who bled and died ~Inspired by The Nightingale Film (2018)
Dans la nuit
To know
Without a shadow
of guilt, shame, doubt
though trite it may sound
A flash of mind
Last seen 6 hours ago
To know
With all lightness
Inside
If one green bottle
on the wall should fall
the first would be me
To know
Moving from object
Gazed upon
To glitter, shards, splinters
Dangerous to bare feet
Closer to original form
To remember
squeal of soles
on soft mounds
covet seabird treasures
safely keep
Waves eternally rise
to greet me
To recall
Dans la nuit
White caps peeps through
seam of dimness
winter solstice
breathe in out rush
tides and lungs
repeat
Weather with you
Some loves are like a sea
salty touch chill to the skin
blissful diving in
on the fringe waves of grief
crash upon disheveled shores
tumbling in weeds
flotsam and jetsam
Some loves are a range
of mountains and hills
traverse through blinding
snow and wind
sudden change
dappled sun kisses
closed eyes before
hides behind peaks
searching caves within
Some loves are like a cloud
begging me - look up!
enamored by the majesty
of sky mirrored by our
smiles and glances
once dark and stormy sea
takes on new beauty
because of thee
Adrift
Adrift
Thunderous crack
On thin ice
Growing smaller
Northward
Until absorbed
By swell
Crashing
Shelly Beach
Under feet
Cold kiss
On toes
Never seen
Evanescence
Is it always so enchanting
From your point of view?
Shining smilingly
Above the rooftops
Is the water's skin
Shivering under your gaze
Like I used to
Baroque soundwaves
Fill my ears
A detour from wayward
Straight lines
Gone haywire
I take the backbends
Winding by yesteryears
When the moon revolved
Around us
Dearest self
You remind me of
A younger self
Uninhibited
Open the door
At your touch
The bolt falters
Windows to my soul
Lit magnificent colours
Upon grand entrance
Into my world
Take me back
To a time when time
Was unmeasured
Lost in sublime
Hours of hopeful truth
Seamless rewriting
Darning old memories
Luminous awakenings
Love heals all wounds
Count the stars of heaven
