I dread the slow
#crawl of time
until I see you again,
my poor soul
bereft & barren—
empty of feeling.

Though when
you return
my spirit soars,
a #jocular #harvest
to reap in my core,
I am warmed
by the #hearth
of your company
once more.

Entranced by a gift
the glimmer
of wrapping paper

my magpie eyes
couldn't resist,
a longing for
the contents

delight of peeling
back layers

here, kindness
there, curiosity

one corner
a stock of stories
sewn together
with a ribbon
of details

the gift
of you—
I am ever
unwrapping

What is love?
The answer
intangible
yet two concepts
entangled
in my mind

one is comfort—
sitting in silence
on the sofa
reading
alone, together

the other is chaos—
souls set aflame
the heady delights
of desire
from morning
to night

maybe love
is a balance
of comfort
and chaos

She’s a big twinkling star
blinding like the sun
16.77 million colors to
my three shades of black

She’s flirty and flighty
clever and inventive
Pablo Neruda to
my monkey on a typewriter

She’s an infinite enigma
a trillion piece jigsaw
4D Rubik’s tetrahedron
don’t solve her love her

beneath hours
life doesn’t shatter
it erodes
without apology

each day
a brief #sojourn
through what
outlasts living

hence
she scribbles
because silence
is worse

as if language could
delay the fade

each line a spark~
its #undertone
keeping decay
at bay

Where does
the sky start?
Is it in your exhale?
Pouring from you,
the breath
I live beneath

are you
the sun too?
Your kind heart
shining on me,
my soul blossoming
in the glow
of your light

what is night, but
when you sleep?
Then, I must
wait until tomorrow,
for you to be
my sunrise.

I sought you down there
in the deep,
digging through dirt
to find you- what a hero.
I brought you out
into the light

or so I thought

but who saved who?
I was down there too.
Was it you, #tampered
with the rescue?

Making me feel like
I saved you.

Just the kind
of thing
you'd do.

Words of silk
falling into my ears,
hands on my face
warm as the sun,
my own heat
rising up
to meet them

your kiss,
when it comes
burns with desire
my lips respond
with the same fire

our unravelling
reflected in
a clothes pile
on the bed

souls untethered,
as bodies
connect.

of the blush
trembling hands
quivering lips
reverberations
in the bones

unbearable longing
inexplicable effects
incorporeal want

the excitement

in both
unstill hearts

sweet dreams
of a sweet soul

#Nose in the air
sensing danger,
I scurry behind
an #oak tree
checking furtively—
cover #inadequate,
waiting for danger
to find me

shot with a piercing #spike,
an arrow through my chest

Gazing up as I take
my dying breath—
a hunter
all in black

& those eyes
those eyes

they are
my own

Just a crush? not this.
It moves the stars when you breathe,
the sky in my chest.

Strangers
in the night,

I saw him,
at my window

a figure
in shadow

familiar,
like a memory
of a dream

hand reaching
pulling me foward,
there in the darkness

a sweet kiss gifted,
lips on mine
that lingered
before his
soul drifted

I #fret with longing,
#haunted by it—
teeth biting
into my heart
bursting it open
like a #sweet,
ripe #berry,
a gush pouring forth
into a waiting mould.
I conjure him
from my own blood
& kiss him
into being—
my Crimson King
& I, his Queen
of Hearts.

I hold it there
like a precious gem
in a secret niche
inside my mind

taking it out
every now & then
when no-one sees
to marvel at it—
slowly entranced
by how it gleams
& sparkles,
just for me

then I gently
place it back again—
this untold,
hidden fantasy
that means
so much
to me.

Fret not, for
in the sea storm
of today’s world
we are but
two drowning
souls rescuing
one another
finding shelter
in the other
ride out the
tempest with me
we will survive
we will thrive
fret not

Shadows of the past
crowd my days—
spectres in my kitchen,
ghosts next to me
on the bus,
phantoms walking
my daydreams.

What they seek
I don't know
but I don't trust
their silent footsteps.

I smile through them,
hoping they don't
see through me
so easily.

That #thing
that I'm seeking?
Ah yes, motivation

while it pours,
#sublime ly
upon me,
I let it drip
from my #raincoat
of procrastination,
eking into the soil
beneath my feet

later I'll #unearth it,
bringing it back
to the #top

but for now
let me just put
my umbrella up

Is that #destinycalling
or just you
on my phone?
or are they one
and the same?

If I say your name
three times, in the
hidden recesses
of my mind
will you appear
before me
so that we can
maybe
steal away
to sanctify
our destiny?

#Fatigued,
crossing a
precarious #log
of loneliness.
On one side;
a #cascade
of abyss,
on the other;
an ominous
wilderness.

We cling to
one other,
bound with
a rope
of #leather,
wondering
how did we
end up
together?
& can
friendship
get us out
of here?
