A collection of smaller works...


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
