Dearly

All excuses accepted 
Needlessly offered 
For any incongruous 
Moments between us
Forgotten 

A flash gordon vision
Scifantasy addiction 
Concocting subtle reasons
Why you might not
Say something 

Give up anticipating
Meaning making
Stories whirlpool
Shimmy down curl wave
White foam spray 

Just to taste 
Another sun baked day
Flitting time away
Waiting for us
To be brave

We daughter dears
Stick together 
Even when eons
Separate us
Across a mere chasm

There is no 'if'
As satellite images
Reveal a great expanse
Only imagined
In writers' dreams

Light years speak
To us when we open
Our eyes at night 
Inspired by the same
Sights nearby

Galaxies spiral
Size of a tear drop
Meet me at the next stop?
Always reminding
To be loving you dearly

Pink Floyd drilled into me
In flagrant courthouse 
Discourse
Walls not meant for people
People not meant for walls
How many people did it take
How many shoulders climbed
For me to rise up
Brick by brick
Strength and grit not mine
Spending months surveying cracks
To push through other side
If only you had mentioned
The view above divine

Miss my heart

Swatch is ticking on
In retro fashion 
Though heart skips
Seconds as if lingering
On the one beat
That you appeared

Though I feel it
In my bones
Your salty kisses
Sting my eyes
Leave no trace
Of colour

I am grey
Though speckled
Hundreds and thousands 
All over my insides
Melting freckles

Tulip bells open wide
Silk lips reaching 
For the sky
While my ruminating 
Mind runs circles
Round repetitive 
Stitching fingers
Weaving long nights
Of sleeplessness
Round thick blanket 
Of contentment
To wear you like
A garment

Empty minute hand
Counting down
Days, hours
Till my heart
Misses again

Wake

Straddling the line
Between wake and dream
Endless streams
Of thought behind
As eyes open wide
Curled, startled inside 
To face four walls
Laden with grey
Fringed with pics of wings
To ease into the day
I wrap my arms round
She stares up to sky
Kiss her forehead
Happy cry
Frazey pipes in to
Make it seem
I am ready to live
My waking dream

Study for an angel

Unfinished work poised 
Graphite brings to life
It is her
Or a great ancestor
Also looking into me
With cool blue eyes
I surmise by their clarity
Following gaze
More striking than
Mona Lisa
To be continued
Should years between
Remain open to
Chance meetings
A love that does not
Need to say, achieve
No affirmation 
Endless invitations
Abandoned
As fruitless as asking
A native bird to
Fly to finger
Quietly observing
Turn around again
The view from here
Is beautiful indeed
by Leonardo Da Vinci

Love like

A fingerprint
Of lover's name 
Unique new note
Not one the same

Beautiful fingers
Of one fine hand
Silent wave
Siren's command

So rare and precious
Slender and long
Ever rehearsed
Perform one song

Some sit idle
Curled content
Pondering days
Love long spent

Mine a many
Instrumentalist
Strikes a chord
Tone long missed

Orchestral works
Of mindfulness
Conducted by
Pure hand of bliss

In the deep recesses
Of the palace
Of the mind
Quaint catalogue boxes
Sit idly weaving
Lacy silk 
Gartered webs
Across time stained
Decks of cards
Full of chance
Now expired
No waste of space
In the twilight hours
They levitate and spin
Like Papillon on
A spring day
As bulbs emerge
From the clay
In cocoon of dream
Memories play
To lure me out
Of myself
To mingle with life
As it never happened 
Inspire possibility 
A springboard 
To love well
To hope
