A dance in jest
Most compromising
Steps two back
One forward
Tete a tete
Longing looks
She is leading
Backwards reel
To the lightfoot
Sound of five eight
Skip hop akin to
Bounding over rocks
Fit as a fiddle
Keeping in step
Plying me with
Stout and chips
Surrendered only
To the trip
Heart ticking
In time to a lover
If anything goes
Not you, nor yet?
She marches in time
To another
A one-way street
Obey all signs
No turn to meet
Long road travelled
Further away
A mind map daunts
Crowd pervades
Lest crossroad take
You winding back
To where the flow
Returns both ways
An ugg boot
Slide on skin
Warm meet-cute
Spark the fire
Velvety thick
Soft to touch
Liqueur sip
Massage all
Aching places
Best worn
In private
Never take
It off
Blank canvas
So tragically
Uninspired
Make a mark
So daringly
Invented
Happen upon
A feather
To conjure up
Full plumage
Light upon
Beached hull
To envisage
Wooden ships
Pluck remnant of
Blue white shard
To dine at
Ancestral table
Treasure cover
Ancient amulet
Embark adventure
Neverending
Seed on breeze
Now sown
Imagine the tree
Full grown
Gaze a smile
Short story
To enter your
Worlds unknown
How many ways I'll tell
Lengths and miles I'd go
To prove what you
Already know
I'd win Master chef
Learn to cook
World's best
Find tea of Ceylon
Brew delicious
Breakfast cup
Kick start business
Buy your dream
Beach house
Licence to fly
Drop you in
Western Wilds
Sail boat to ride
Marine exploring
Ocean tide
I'll take you all
These places
On our imagination
But only time
And place I have
Right here and now
Beside
Pay attention
Naval gazing
To the heart
Inward looking
Realising
Affect affords
Little openings
Where thoughts
Seeping in
Under skin
Elevating
Heart making
Every day
Tiny delights
Intermingled
With spice
Grounded
Deeply rooted
Interconnected
Signs of life
When I look within
It's you I find
What riches lie in wait
To be discovered
By a twist of fate
Chorus of the ocean
Is heard from surface
Best orchestral works
When I still my breath
Pounding heart a timpani
In time with acoustic
Sonogram of life
Unbounded
Kindness never hurt
Anybody
Gently restoring
Original appeal
Is blood, sweat, tears
Only to keep her
For so many years
The one who loved her
So dearly whispers
Please never fall
In love again
The art of detecting
Always on the lookout
For one who gives freely
Permission to pop in
Seems to know intuitively
A weekend is free
Calls on lonely lunch break
Just to squeeze it in
Conversation starter
Halts but never really ends
Rescues end of week
With a glass of best red
If followed by few more
There’s always a spare bed
No matter how many
Months between
We pick up where we left
Though many held and cherished
Know love is a true friend
Be poor and in love
Living on tea and vegies
Hear love sing out loud
Than make up songs about it
Live in a yurt fancy free
Than find a home without you
Stay, wait and wonder
Than solo sail world round
See your face again
Than know everything about you
Close my eyes and count to ten
Than hide in the dark to be found
Count the stars of heaven
