You think for me
While I think of you

I write

My way out of
dark
dead end
loneliness

My way in to
light
way forward
Your heart

Stories fill my mind
Mine, yours, theirs, ours
Reminisced and real
Unwritten and imagined
Lines between a blur

To no end

Burnt toast
Battles abandoned
Blues on repeat
Books unread
Blinding smiles
Black brews
Banter and debrief
Bed of blossoms
Birds on window
Burgeoning words
Basking in she
Bringing me life
Bliss

Let me cover you in stars
Trade our nights in bars
For an endless universe

Let me cover you in waves
Trade our endless days
For unfathomable depths

Let me cover you in rays
Trade the blue screen haze
For an ultra violet bath

Let me cover you in shade
Trade fluorescent buzz
For the forest elders' maze

Come with me
Into the wilderness
Just to breathe
To see what else
Lies beneath

Poised for full flight 
Staring at the ceiling
Longing out the window
At all the feathered friends
Feeding, freeing releasing

Sprawled in open field
Tracking left to right
Closing in aperture
At the microcosm
Teaming, hauling, receiving

Wandering round stone walls
Crumbling under time
Eroding memories
Cast iron releasing
Leaving, living, believing

In freedom

Those who've gone before

Stand
Create waves
Capture light
Make a way

For us to unfurl

Verses unending
Expanding
Universe

Verse unheard
Motherly
Musings

Verse unspoken
Bodily
Gestures

Verse unknown
Future
Making

Verse untamed
Wild
Daring

Verse unfinished
Given
Reclaiming

Show me the light
Illuminating
Sky
Clouds

River
Window
Me

‘There’s a light in the darkness of everybody’s life’

Rocky Horror Picture Show

Each day
With or without you
Sunshine peeping
Through

Each afternoon
Sky as a kite
Music coursing
Through

Each night
Try as we might
Nothing left 
To do

Each morning
Another day facing
Many shades of
Blue
