Fallen from the table Devoured in an instant Opportune, she lives for here and now Like smile on an infant Found amongst the grass Eaten – pure instinct The lips, the sense of smell inspect What to us is non-existent She lives her life from down below We live ours from up above […]

Stow-away
I never knew A harbour grew West of the sea I never thought I’d be caught With thee I’ve been in Other’s oceans But I’m enamoured In your sea May I share Your harbour Here, with thee? ‘Certainly;’ He said to me; ‘Welcome home.’ ‘Let’s stow-away, Together – All alone.’
A small space
Such a small space! Look at my face – I fit into it well Daring to trace By hand I race – Yet I cannot kiss and tell Flowing like a river Flowing water, like a sieve Ahead, I look, but ever, I receive – Rather I to give The window reflects my stare Comfort […]

I go with you
I am going nowhere Unless I go with you You are my light upon the hill You are the morning dew I am your hill-view drive You are my avenue You are my midday sunshine You are as bright as sky is blue I am the valley you traverse You are my mountain view You […]
Beyond the voice
Travelling far from anywhere The silent township it was reached Thoughts were far from anything Only to be found under feet. ‘Waste not want not,’ she doth cry A whisper from a quiet voice ‘Waste not want not,’ before he died Enduring be the summer sky. The bright blue sky, the summer sun The only […]
