propelled by jet rocket
shooting through space
that’s how my cells flip
sensing your nearness
reading your face
This hot summer's day
invites a stroll by the pool
where lilies spread
on broad leafy beds
and Koi circle below,
glinting and gliding,
slow and cool
as you please.
Funny the pressures we put on love
hurt and pain from missed expectations
love is laughter, joy, freedom
we are not things or possessions
when water boils steam wafts and spreads
so is love as nature intended
when seeds fall, takes root, embeds
the earth blossoms, is reinvented
1)
Magic cloak it seems I’ve not
no wand or disappearing act
I burn in head lights love forgot
reeling from your impact
(2)
here and now and waiting for you
guard down, defences cracked
in leaden box and cleaved in two
only you can can put me back
You comfort me with your strange elusive smile
You make me laugh, if even for a little while
And when I’m down you make me feel like I could fly
And still survive
air erupts, incinerating haze;
rapids merged from confluence,
cascading crescendo.
saturated blaze.
we heard what was not mentioned
we listened with one heart
we proved that distance
could not keep us apart
Poetry is great therapy for stress
specially when longing for each other
but even at its cathartic best
it makes a really poor bedfellow
My words they have vanished,
my voice has gone hoarse.
my melody's stifled
my choruses lost.
I had no clue
when I walked away
that I'd be the only one
with the stiff price to pay
When it was mornings time to bloom
I felt her presence fill the room
deep blue eyes and silken hair
she looked at me as if to share
I brought a bouquet of flowers
candy in a box
I waited patiently for hours
at the door with fool proof locks
You and I both know
we can’t let this go
on the way it does.
Yes, you and I both know
we can’t let it show
what's between us...
You were not meant to belong to anyone
You have to learn to fly
You were not meant to belong to anyone
You have to learn to fly
Only enveloping you
utterly,
as if you belong in my DNA,
in my entity,
my twenty-fourth strand,
will complete me.
Under cover of single umbrella
rain pelting down
to thunderous applause
lightening forks to ground
a joined chorous
as you and I
experience the fireworks
My first thought on waking
is you you you
no question in my mind
I need you you you
your love, your grace, your touch
I can't remember when I felt so much
If I could have the moon in my tea cup,
the sun in my coffee mug,
the planets and stars in my soup bowl,
it might be wonderful; I'd be all powerful...
But I'd rather have you in me
than imbibe the Milky Way, dairy free.
I heard your words
I was not prepared
I blocked my ears
I read your lips
I was scared
I shut my eyes
