There is one
Name renown never
Escapes me

There is one
Name renown never
Escapes me

No longer lying
Languidly in the shallows
Deep calls to deeper

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
Aurora lights
While night sky
Overcast
Steeped in tea
But still
Magnificent colour
Dancing hidden
Inside of me
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

She told me her dreams
Now I meditate on how
To realise them

I see you
Close my eyes to dream
Count the stars

Jill of all trades
Lifesaver, dawn breaker
Pool pacer
Hearth watcher
Ball catcher
Friend to hidden
Worlds unknown
Just debator
Navigator
Peacemaker
Unveil hidden
Latent potential
Me first
Then you

I'm so taken in
By you from the beginning
Till we meet again

Pull at my heart
Knowing your power
Over me
First thing this morning
A peace settles
Over me
I'm floored in awe
Your light shines
Over me
Wait ever patiently
For this phase to grow
Over me
Will you choose clouds
Far off landscapes
Over me?
