Love

Absence

Just for a minute.

Loneliness, and
A surge of emotion in a bookshop?
Just for…

The Corn Scythe

Wrapped in white linen, I hear the words of a vagrant minstrel.

He calls to me from the shadows of night.

Such twilight whispers of insanity and hate, which drift like

You Brighten Me

#

You brighten me.

Your eyes pass into mine

And the world is there.

You brighten me.

Your face against mine.

Nain

Chiffonier, cracked mirror, sideboard near.

Chest of drawers, dinning table and sofa.

All covered, bedecked in lace and carved

With memories inlaid, deep as snow.

There is a Wishing Tree

There is a wishing tree.

I stood about,

Surveying its sublime light.

Dappled colours and quilted arms

So Far Now from this…

I

Thought memories,

cut through a stagnant

silence and briefly,

a swell of emotion

In Your Eyes

#

In your eyes, I seek solace. These

Orbs of light entrap me.

Entwine the purpose of my self,

To sink into these pools, so tranquil.
