Pinned
still, I love you
from a distance
silent as a wish
waiting
in the belly of the well
Should've seen it as
A warning
Should've cut and run
Before the heartache

But that smile had me
Pinned
A beetle
Under glass
An object of interest
Treading water when
I thought I could swim

Should've said no
But, my god
He was too addictive
For that
The boy with the piranha tattoo

Her mouth
A skywards vase
Of exceptional blooms

Her redemption song
Spreads butter
Against the grains
Of the sinners bread

She is starlight
Sunday salvation
In a red dress

you hold a candle beside the moon and task me to choose between them
as if I could know which to name numerator or denominator
instead I recall a day when hillsides dressed in heather blew us skylark kisses
a collection of rainbows in the lining of your raincoat

Thank you, Steve 😊 Hope all is good with you 🌿🌻💛
what kind of lover
do you seek?

a rose, perhaps?
wild and delicate
tender beauty
fierce thorns

or a poet?
passionate and melancholy
lyrically loyal
utterly unobtainable
where low light
lends warmth
in lazy patterns
insects appear

rise and fall
rise and fall
rise and fall

repetition becomes elastic
simplicity stumbles into hypnotic

a host of
tiny yo-yo's
toys at play
in invisible hands

Freedom of speech
An oasis
Turned mirage
Raw throats
Parched
Dried up at source

We intersect
Hands cupped for succour
Your dark clouds
Weep upon my riverbed scar

We are October
When we used to be July
A second breath
Peppermint fresh with frost
Windfall pulp
Imperfect, yet still sweet
An occasional occasion
Richer in colour
But fading

Scrutiny seeks out the loose stitches
Slips its tendrils in
Flips through manuscripts
Internal dialogues
Deciphers goosebump braille
Paws over secrets
Tastes the depth of stain
On hidden pages
Digs into decay
Like worms
In a mind of falling leaves

Silent movement
Black cat locomotive
Toe to toe with its shadow
Thank you, DeRicki. It is truly appreciated 🤗
on the lawn
a jackdaw cocks his head
one blue eye to the sky
with time
and patience
perhaps
we will learn
that this journey
has so much
to teach us

from chaos
to completion
true beauty
is the sum
of realising
all our parts

tiny ripples
across fallen leaves
still holding on
to last nights rain

fallen pine
already sprouting
ferns in the scar

for too long
I let doubt lead
let it drag me
through thicket
and thorn

faith in myself
brought forth
a certain contentment
happier hands
relinquish those #reins
