The highest place is found
Not in turrets overlooking
In case of enemy approaching
Watching people scrambling
Over walls and hedges
Keeping us and them
Out and in, tethered
Away to stay, forever
No need to hide when
Love is measured by
Lesser distance between
Community is all around
Distance is never felt
Between two willing
Hearts that measure
No one or thing
Without love
A new puppy
A longing overcomes
Subtly over time
Then suddenly undone
Sleepless nights
Frequent walks
Accidental strife
Adorable, warm
A love not chosen
Like a spell cast
Wooing bright eyes
Mesmerised at last
I'll walk my love
Down every street
Doggy park
Beach retreat
Nodding at fellow
Lovers off leash
Tied to feelings
Unfathomable
Feeling responsible
For daily care
Falling asleep
Nestled in there
Such is the way
Of owning your own
In love with you
Who knew?
Strange how the music
Can say what lies inside
Better than own lips
Better still, silence
Reveals a sonnet
Of secrets
That moment between words
When the body speaks
To affirm or contradict
Knowing moves
Of safety
Alone with thoughts
On the edge of wild
Never live lonely
Affect writes thesis
Of sanity
Wondering brain waves
Sing on wind and wire
Telegraph of love
Words no limit
Of sound
Don't Stop.
Fingers curl
Firm and fine
Tender and strong
Curiously hide
Brushing away
Wounds of yesterday
Laughing reciting
Memories opening
Adventures in love
Happening upon
Fragrant finds
Drinking in senses
Rarities afew
Treasures abound
Waiting minute more
With you
Life clings to cracks
Liminal spaces
Hiding places
Reality abounds
On the edges
Beauty is born
Of age
Mirth is found
In the calm
After the storm
Streets of my town
Taken to wits end
Edge of the precipice
Dark history amend
Not long since
A new breeze swept
Through winding lanes
Rows of vines well kept
As if breathed new air
Kept pace petite feet
Leading me down
Swans and starlings greet
Once again sandstone town
Sits longingly by river seat
Stands tall and proud
Once again, my retreat
Bravery only comes
If you let it be
With love
Springing into life again
Just in time for equinox
Monarch adapted so wonderfully
So can I
Make friends with love
From the sun and moon
Wind and snow
Sunset afternoons
Her gaze will always come again
Through my mirror
Onto my pillow
To wake me warmly
And say
You are loved
Admiring beauty
From afar
These empty vessels
Won't hold warmth
Nor bear handling
Forgive accidental
Fall from grace
Tiniest touch
Out of place
All seeing
Though clearly
Conversations
Simmer gently
Hands clasped
In dainty laps
Licking jelly slice
From fingers
Longing gentrified
Special ones
Reserved for whom?
Count the stars of heaven
