She bought me bubble tea
Sweet treats in the middle
Of the day
Mine a chocolate butterfly
With a caramel centre
Wrapped in pink foil
Delightful
Found poetry
Sweet treats

Why speak alone when
The lives of many
Resound through telling
Decades of stories
Adventures spanning
Continents flourishing
Details lived experience
Pictures of the mind
Old time movie reel
Spinning behind eyes
Us watching the reveal
Based on non-fiction
Told with endless love
When people and places
Elude you now
Take a solitary bow
For work of fiction
Vicariously through
Imaginary friends
No less delightful
On the hearing
Though how marvellous
To have dedications
On front pages
To those who wielded
The wand of pen
Beside you
Mesmerised
Vain attempts skimming
Over and over same lines
Soothing brain waves while
It recounts the time
A fair medusa lured me
Completely innocently
Its venom only treated
Wounds still weeping
So intoxicating was she
There is no end to it
Body addicted
Making no moves
To cure this high
Elixir of life
Administered swifly
By the touch
Of her eyes
Homely
Nice new homes popping up
In large backyards
All around me
Mine old on the outside
Renovated as new inside
Like me
Homes like their owners
Yet, like a hermit crab
Shell expired
Looking for another
Sea floor bare sand
One day a house
To call mine
Somewhere deep
Earth and wilderness
A share house
We cannot divide
Land of believe
Freely dissociating
In a world of harsh reality
Walk through iron gates
Guarded by gargoyles
Fairies and nymphs
To catch a glimpse
Take up the chase
Exploring ways
To alleviate
Burden of waking
Upon realising
Where we all find
Ourselves at once
My wonder makes
It easier to wish
Live, dream, reminisce
The idea of her
Is quite something
To believe in
In the absence of
All else
In a time
Not of our own
Making
Love is all
We need
Kaleidescope
Shape shifting countenance
Colours refracted over time
Telling me all I wish to hear
And yet only one line
Stands out from others
Unsolicited
Happy Solstice
How a mountain is revered
Upon holding a stone
Between my fingers
How tunnel vision
Peering through confetti
Glitter tattooed
Like spots appearing
After staring at the sun
When the view in front
Is clear and cool
As the wintry sky
Blue jumper
Queue a mile long
Take a number
Squeeze in front
Unprepared
Sending hugs
If you want one
A string of them
Woven into
Rainbow blanket
Embrace in case of
Feelings of isolation
Many more skeins
Held between
Two hands
Needing someone
To untangle
Loosen
Make sense of it
Never seeming
As handsome as
My favourite
Blue jumper
On you
Flower power
Smile like a flower
Absorbing light
Reflecting it back
To me on a cold
Dark night
In my mind's eye
When seeming alone
Listening for thiefs
Breaking in
Stealing my contentment
I think of your smile
My power to generate it
Reciprocate
Restores my own
Gives me sure step
Strength to carry on
This morning
Love like
An unwanted gift
What to do with it?
Keep in the closet
Under the bed
Garage sale
Door stop
Plant pot
The kindest thing
To give it back
Don't give it
Away
Effervescent
Feeling frivolous
Drowning in many words
I invite her in
To swim in the
Whitewash
Or else
She is too smart
Throw me a life ring
My bubbly personality
Giving me a hangover
Neurodivergent mother
Sweet as a soft drink
Filled with warm air
Drink sparingly
Count the stars of heaven
