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
Vast eye in the sky
Long lashes in clouds
Tells me all I learned
From love
How to sing
Sonnets day long
While silent
Gently playing
Vinyl rotating
Turn a trite saying
Into midnight devotion
How to be singular
In constant conversation
With absent lover
Find common ground
With old objects
Of affection
A face blushed
Shining for another
Telling what one
Is capable of
Existing in skin
No trading it in
A lifetime lived
In imagination
To wake with dawn
Cradle in arms
A babe of newborn
Intention
Spirit of content
Breathes within
While flotsam
Swirl, slip downstream
Whispers and gossip
Trade ways to leave
Such thoughts here
Are homeless
There body aches
No explanation
Tall tales begging
To leave again
Love well taught
Who saddles
Dark mountain
Telling you everything
Like blowing in the wind
A sprouting dandelion
Knowing it will never
Return to me, then
Turning around
Seeing them
Growing all around me
Tales told and loves
Unfolding from
Somewhere else
Unknown
Teasing a whisper trail
Covering over a lifetime
He said, she said
Cellists make good lovers
As she hugs her legs
Round the portly shape
Smooth timbre of hips
Vibrating sullenly
As boozy fingers
Re-member how to be
When eyes hone in
Expectantly
These beams come down
Onto me from the sky
A place I can never climb
So I evacuate from
The bottom rung
Sink my toes into
Mounds of moss
Lichen it grows
On me like you
Hidden shape teases
Behind a silk wave
Hiding her face
When I try to take
Her picture
All that glitters
Is not gold
In zero gravity
Feel free and easy
But unavoidable
Collisions with
Floating debris
Leave me speechless
On the far
Distant galaxy
My star lights the way
She is bright and sparkly
Unnamed oft spoken
Constant in the sky
Can we consume
Drifting asteroids
Wandering satellites
That hinder us?
We are but dust
If I shine
We collide
Will we repel
Explode
Create a new world?
Or at least
Glow brighter
Unto ourselves
While dark stillness
Between us
Illuminates
Stories untold
Count the stars of heaven
