In the sweet bye and bye
Everyday entreat
Hourly mystique
Receive a gentle word
You heard last week
The call of song
Echoing through trees
Tiny drops of dew
Swaying on leaves
Neither force of nature
Or crowd to please
Could take away
The sweetness of being
Here in the present
Surrounded by good things
Inspired by the love
Of good friends
Like a butterfly sanctuary
Remembering how to keep
Love safe and free
Keeping her memory
With me
Where I live
Where I work
How I speak
Free time perks
How much time
On my hands
How I went
Travelling lands
Who my friends
Like to be
What I drink
Films I see
How I look
What I wear
Whether lippie
Or some flares
Punch drunk
Over jab
Wiping tables
Keeping tabs
All I want
Is to be
In love
With you
A mountain spring
Cool and clear
Need to live
The more I have
The more I give
Keeping me
Away from edge
Steadying me
Dizzy head
Giving out
Above and beneath
The surface
Giving beauty and life
To everything
To me, I'll take it
You keep me
On the straight
And narrow
You hold me
On the bends
Your smile and feet
Go fore me always
All the ways to
Land's end
On the turning away
Entering into void
Sideless convex slope
Taking you down
Into space
Ejecting lifeless forms
Breathless pressure
Tender organs
Enveloped in atmosphere
Another world
Return to firmness
Cheek against ground
Gasped as one
Breathing their first
Looking around
Chrystal clear light
Shines all about
Reflections eyes
Smiling down
Speaking softly
Taking my arm
Astounded
Leading by hand
Counting my minutes
Since landing
To look upon her
Middle of the street
Dancing feet in flip flops
Cotton slung over shoulder
Carrying the weight
Of next week's movies
Breakfast treat
Colours and lines dance
In front of eyes
Stallholders parade
Eyes watching me
Rainbow carrots
Pink lemonade
Waiting next Saturday
For one more take
Twist of tongue
Pull of cheek
Humankind kindred
Lay eyes on
Every hour
Another week
In case of
Isolation
Raise a glass
To me
Ethical nature
To draw one out
Protect from predators
When they hide
On the inside
Under rocks
Not out open
How easy to mistake
To mimic a threat
For safety
But scare away
Own mate
Funny how I know
When I decide to
Stop chasing
With words
That'll be the day
You turn around
In the heavy silence
Between us
Where only smiles
Are found
Tell her that you love her
If not with words
Any other thing
Without a doubt
Most important
Need to know
Life or death
By an inch
Holding one
Away from cliff
Sudden drop away
To vast ocean
Of loneliness
Tell her simply
For vast open sky
Meets horizon
High and deep
Where love consumes
Our solitude
We float away
To worlds unknown
Forever
All done through the night
Holding on to the next
Wondering aimlessly
Hoping for return
Falling softly
Blossoms surround
Lift my face
Above them all
How to prevent
Idea of you
Growing so tall
Looking into you
Count the stars of heaven
