A place holder
Lorem ipso facto
How long can arms
Hold open, waiting?
Empty until the sight
Of them fills
With envy & loss
That is not who we are
We are love uncontained
By modern predilection
My love, an apparition
Residing somewhere
In the sun
While I hide
Under the waves
Waiting for the unknown
Write my way out of -
Inhabit this space
Blue gum trees
Nestled sheltered
From cool breeze
Sun trap soaks
Into our leaves
Crown shy why
We never sieze
A moment to touch
Though underneath
Far from birds eye
Roots like tentacles
Happily entwine
Billowing whirls gather
Overhead
A forecast of soft landing
Warmth barely touches
Crisp chill end of nose
Light breaks through
The dark silence
Mardi gras of sea birds
Swoop through swaying masts
On parade
Caught a glimpse of you
It parted persistent
Heavy cloud cover
Light penetrated
Darkest places
Waking breath
Laced with sunshine
You on my mind
My grieving for loss of
You changed me
But I'd never want
To change back
Silvery blue sheen
A veil covering
Wild creatures deep
Rising to shallows
Flash past my feet
Ray of speckled flight
Effortless grace
Takes my heart skipping
Into the waves
Arise completely changed
Belonging can be
A divided word
Home on one side
Ownership the other
How to become mine
Alone?
Bobbing on the verge
Southern Ocean
Paddling along the cusp
Apex breeding grounds
Rise and fall tide surge
Rocks inner core
Evading the inevitable
Return to reality
The sea calls to me
Like a lover every
Sleepy morn
These trees have seen it all
Though shores have known much more
Modern self love platitudes
How could it help her?
Bound by an image and reflection
Unable to take in her own
Tend it, the shape of her
For another more worthy
Of her beauty within
Only his own face
In the mirror
While hers wastes away
A prison of smoking mirrors
Illusions never fade
So why pine away?
Every weekend, unobtainable
Wondering will they see
My light before it's out
Leaving only a remnant
A voice on a page
Count the stars of heaven
