A tale of modern peril
Our cup receives all
Gobstopper sized marbles
Stress weighs us all
Next fit the shiny
Glittery gems
The friends and family
Who never hem in
Sift through the cracks
The sensory spaces
Fine sand of stories
A treasure of faces
When life's limitations
Walls cold hard and thin
One love pours over
Holds everything in
What if looks could revive
We are found in the dark
Blinded by sight
No tricks up the sleeve
Memories guide
Senses won't believe
Words come easy
On sips of wine
Silence speaks
How you are mine
If you love her
Keep her any way
You are able
For this, be brave
Keep her warm
Yarn laced fingers
Curl round nape
Feather linger
Woven holding
Tender kiss
Forehead whisper
Only hears
Keep her hopeful
Words entwined
Stories ebb
Like evening tide
Keep her safe
Biding space
Contentment cups
Heart weary race
Keep her trust
Alive in truth
So idly by
No thoughts invade
A brilliant love
Will break if kept
Enclosed admired
On show in cage
This love wraps round
To keep in ways
These arms can't hold
When she's away
A tender ache
Waking crisp
White morning
Hazy gaze
Over hills
By afternoon
Floodlight
Adorn footfalls
Evening swoon
Face shines
Only constant
Beneath the moon
Mine an old fashioned
Kind of silent movie
Secret smiles
Behind closed doors
Writing captions
Never spoken
Lying in bed
For hours
Only thinking
What's behind
Velvet curtain?
Sending flowers
Anonymous note
The rush and glitz
Glamour of colour
Took over my world
In the stillness
And quiet
Reminisce gentle images
Black and white
Sepia tones
The colour of my dreams
Hers the only rainbow
That matters
Standing here reflecting
On how many ways
My body is here
But the rest
Is somewhere else
With you
Petals of intention
Fell softly on my ears
Floating to the floor
Covered over many years
In every gentle way
She shed truth that I'd forgot
Yet all the choice I heard
Was 'she loves me'~ yes or not?
In this land of make believe
Is where I've made my home
A hundred paper cranes
Tell me how to spot fool's gold
Lover, sister, friend
Only three chords that I play
Spiralled round a seashell heart
As tea sipped smiling fades
Immeasurable love
No bounds or limits
Growing exponentially
In response to
Space filled silence
Expanding forever
Into the spectrum
Of stardust
Magnificence
Meanwhile on earth
My two hearts
Explore the inside
Of a tardis
Whirling around me
Though bigger
On the inside
Only takes me
Where I don't
Want to go
One heart palpitates
While the other stable
Who can love twice
In one human body?
Present defines reality
Limited to words
I cannot say aloud
Push the big button
See where it goes?
Take me back
To the time
Before sliding doors
Closed
When the mountain is invisible
We walk on our memories
Our constant changing sun
Fog lights flourescent white
Guiding us home
While we bide our time
For Western Winds to thrive
To push delirium way out
For the ocean to disperse
Meanwhile hold my hand
Lest we trip on the tip
Of a stone cold moss
Covered path
Delighting in treasures
While they last
You too are one
Tucked away out of sight
Its secrets lay open
We stroll leisurely
Hopping over tendrils
Peeling back vines
Reminiscent year past
Time allows us
To laugh over
Misspoke words
Jealous greenery
We pause as sunbeams
Illuminate dainty
Cheeks of ripe peach
Silence grows
Like fruiting trees
The seed of many
More meetings
Served with humble pie
And cream
A future like this
Is dear to me
Count the stars of heaven
