Fleeting beauty

I gaze upon you longingly
A picture or memory passing
Clasped under glass dome
Of my mind

When did I fall prey
To such weakness?
Surely absence is not
The only cure?

How could I grow accustomed
Such beauty before me
When suddenly takes flight
Without saying goodbye?

Such love is immortal
Each passing season
Revived new colours
Never fade in time
Papilio ulysses joesa Ulysses Swallowtail

The favourite

Canopy protecting me
From passing rain
Haven among new swallows
Fairy wren nests
Happily proclaiming
Bursts of seed and flower
On show
Holding me upright trunk
As I breathe in
Most needed mood boosting
Spores emanating
From flourishing ground
Returns my demeanor
To more tender renown
A quick fix respite
From world spinning
Under feet
Grounding under mine
Until next time

Love like

Snow melt
Held captive
Many months
First a cadence
Overtaken by rivulets
Tracing their way
Through frozen caps
Underneath shimmering
Carving out
New landscapes
Courses join hands
Tumble to the sea
Cast out in pale blues
Foamy white curls
Atop mountain dew waves
Processing through
Daffodil mouths open
Corridors of new life rise
As if never seen before
Or again by these eyes
Switzerland

Senseless

All senses speak to me
In the deafening silence
Not loved like
You ought to be
Left too long without
Tend and treating
Hidden among spotted leaf
My intention to drip
Feed love daily
Repaid by observing bloom
Only known pain
If I cannot hold
Breathe in perfume
Before you hide again
Daily dose until renewed
