Tell me, dear friend
Cool lover
So full
Of us and potential
Do you only love
For what you might
Obtain from such
A warm and generous
Soul denying
Herself?
A sacrificial kind
You will humbly assist
With their purpose
In life?
No greater love
Than one who
Forsakes (you for)
Oneself?
In my mind
We meet secretly
On the hidden stairwell
In the evening
Where I can hold
A hug for longer
Evading prying glance
In my mind
We go everywhere
On the hidden trail
In the wilderness
Where I can hold
A breath for longer
Exaling view entranced
To be alone
With you
In my mind
Need not reduce
The sweetest allure
To set of predictions
Hypotheses
Tested by a swarm
Of intelligent
Counter-arguments
The beauty of attraction
A mystery unfolding
A universe ever-expanding
Discovering new worlds
Within, by chance touch
Of your hand
Filling my senses
With the sight of you smiling
Chilling submerging
Water lily blooms Languidly laze on surface Abuzz sunlit show
I'll be your mountain
You be my sea
For all onlookers
We are divided
On the beaches
But really
I fall
At your feet
If only I could live
On native cherries
Bugs and berries
Tuned in to singing
Of sapling gums
Swinging in the wind
Timed by sun rise
And setting
Days stretch out
And snap back
Catapult us
Through our lives
Never counting cost
Not all who wander
Are lost
Mine is a joy of colour
Burned in my brain
So brightly borne
On night forlorn
I hardy seem the same
A name so entrancing
It fair evades the jest
The sound of it
Steeps pride within
Its brush long stood the test
Spent many a day observing
The detail in its grain
To widen gaze
A spellbound daze
Defies grande window pane
Blue as the sky opens, timely
Cool as the vast southern sea
Ancient creatures
Surely teach us
How humans ought to be
Wise as blue whale roaming
Fear kraken, now mythical beast
When power and lust
Turn forests to dust
Here be dragons, man unleashed
The Painted Lady
Saved me today
Escaping cool
Shot of adrenalin
Disturbing a ray
We acquainted
Under waves
Turned tail
Nodded shyly
Red billed spy
From rooftop
Provoked a smile
Chirpy chatter
Sailing treetops
Remind me
What truly matters
Oh, what perpetual state of bliss
To go back to that time and place
To relive moments again
Not just in the mind
When we might have had
A chance
