The beginning and the end
He is so matter of fact
And my brain at the minute
Is not
I’m sure I could make decisions
At some point in the past
But now
I am only certain of one thing
That my decision to be
With him
Was the right one.
So try not to be angry my love
When I struggle to choose
What to do
Where to eat
And sometimes
What to say
I am relearning many things
Confidence
And decision making amongst them
But you my love
Were the beginning
And I hope also
The end.

What price
What price does love cost
When all hope is gone
Everything is lost
Heart beat and lungs bellow
I dare you
She stumbled through whole days
And weeks
Where every smile felt expensive
Like coins were jammed in
Tight behind her teeth
They were pure gold and
They were so heavy there
Still she couldn’t afford to spend them
………………………………………………
A warm day in spring
We blossom in the sun
And revel
In the clouds of delicate spring
Flowers adorning the bright path
As their gorgeous scent caresses
Finding each other close
Our hands lock fingers and we walk
Warm skin and sunlight on bare limbs
Sometimes quiet and sometimes caught
In conversation
But content
Just to be you and me here and now
I smile broad and wide and hope that you know
It reached my eyes behind my sunglasses
As they reflect yours
I adore you
And on a warm day in spring we blossom in the sun
And revel
The first flushes of love written all over us
I stop and wait
For it is fleeting but profound
I wish to stay a while
And closing my eyes savour this
Warm day in spring
Holding you close
To revisit
So that the smell of blossom in the sun
Will transport me back
To you and me
Then and now
