It's a sound you don't hear often

The whisper of peace and solace

A dream bound in resolution

And a warm consoling embrace.

It's a touch you don't feel often

The soft brush of a finger tip

A tactile motion full of desire

And a truly attentive lover's grip.

If my love for you were a road
then it would stretch beyond the horizon.

If my love for you were an oak
then its branches would reach the highest heaven.

If my love for you were a lion
then its strength would overcome all.

If my love for you were water
then there would never be a thirsty mouth.

If my love for you were bread
then no-one would go hungry again.

My love for you is ...

You opened my eyes 

then shut them again

the sun shone

then came the rain

the joyous rapture

and the ceaseless pain

unbridled laughter

that today sounds insane

once a transport of delight

now a trip down memory lane.

Far from the high ridge the lark song

called out to love, hopeful and hopeless

reaching out to heal the lovers’ rift,

but the day broke over their stooping heads

and the saddened winter sun shone

its weary rays onto their hardened hearts.

Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen

They’ve really enjoyed playing here over the years

It has been a wonderful experience for one and all

but now it is my sad duty to announce that

peace,  love and understanding have left the building.

Peace,  she left by the back door

Her sullen face only lightened by the thought

that it cannot always be this way

Wandering around...

I had a second chance
and blew it
thinking I had learnt from
the first time

but there is still so much to learn
foolish hubris
before the fall
before the snake bites

Not daring anymore
Not caring anymore

Tired 
No more fight
Scared
Taking flight

Too frightened to learn to fly again
it's killing me
it will kill me

Looking for that glance
that one look 
that show of affe...

The old man left everything to her

A full share of emotions felt

Their love had flourished over the years

Blossoming and blooming

Faithful and giving through time

They had met when only a youthful seventeen

Love had flown down and settled  on their hearts

Never more to ruffle a feather in flight

But to remain nestled there

Safe in the knowledge that it was safe, sec...

She is lovely to me.

I come up short each time we meet.

Our relations in love cut into my raw emotions.

Dear lady of my dreams

Only stay if you want to

Read me, and give your interpretation

Intimate and wild

Empathic and remote

Never forget me, nor I you.

Good night, my love

Half a flower
is more beautiful than none at all
An incomplete bloom
stil leaves room for
more heart and love
A dormant bud can lead
to a fulfilled dream
A single petal still smells 
just as lovely as the whole flower of love
An island is still connected by the ocean floor
to the rest of the world
It is joined to the heavens 
by the air in between
The rocks and stones 
and grass and ...
