I sifted through the mound of lightly tinkered implements, ornaments, embellishments. Curious to comb fingers through light whisps of cotton candy hair stirring on breath. Trice eyes met. Chattels of connection melt in the swelter of touch. Bonds of time fling affairs out of space. In no ritual way I swallow words as readily as lemon tarts. One hundred ways to say I am yours Though never mind The crumbling gateau of cream filled sublime.
Wake to fresh reality Ponder all those versions Gone before me Originals ever replaced With tributes and re-makes Grasp hold of sanity With both hands Light falls downwards Darkness rises Spirit steady as horizon Bare feet connect to Fine grain of ancient history One day to become Till then an observer Of the lives of almost friends and lovers Small town blues and golds Pottering around heritage homes, theatres and dining rooms Chewing on latest news Overlooking chaotic streets Mimicking incessant heart beats Growing ever faster At the sight of long lost love
Woven threads of memories Soothes my weary head The strength of each Compounded by intricate patterns Lacing along brain waves Sparking to an unknown song Could you hum it? Are you worried to get it wrong? Just one voice, wavering Not enough to portray A chorus of love Desires multiply Repeat till the end When none to stoke its fire Lest weave of time Should mend
A handwoven blanket Soft weight pressed gently Into warm skin Toes curl feet swim Sun streams through Chrystals throwing Rainbows across the room Steamy cup of brew Candle flickers behind eyelids Heavy closed doors To enter dreams Of neverland
We all cried out With our spiral perms Bouncing in disco blue light
How I know?.. Walking longing on leash Through swathes of native grassland Hoping against all hope To find a glimmer of flower More delicious than weed
Rolling in bed with heartburn Late into night and early morn Standing in the kitchen alone with thoughts Salvaging burnt toast again
.. if this is really love
Listening to songs of mourn Tributes to ache across eons On repeat
Wonder where the strength Is found within As time goes on Their pulse overtakes mine Face more alluring Lines soften and fade Walls fall Clothes line the floor No turning around Or so I've found
We are planetary beings You, a large gas giant Me, one of many Moons in orbit Holding all force Against gravity Between us Or else be plunged Into a remote desert A mere scar upon Your landscape Slow disappearing Shifting sands of time No home to call Mine
Count the stars of heaven
