Gone Again

Gone again...

As the sky darkens
Overgrown weeds sway in the distance
The night air is cool
And as gentle as a whisper
Golden street lamps
Flicker against a cerulean blue sky
And it is quiet once again
Gone is the sound of laughter
And shared conversation
Emotion filled glances
Linger over a steaming cup of coffee
I miss the intensity of your touch
The humour in your eyes
And the curl of your smile
But most of all
I miss
The way that you make me feel
As I stand here reflecting
On a day well spent
I anticipate your return...

Safe journey my love

Loaded Gun

Loaded Gun

Quiet
always quiet
My words
ricochet
off the back walls
of thought
like silver bullets
piercing into
the chaos
wounding
self expression
and killing the art
with a silent tongue
quiet
always quiet
fearful
that those watchful
will criticise
what another
heart desires
gnawing
I feel it gnawing
in the back of
my throat
like a dry cough
it clutches
and remains
stuck in the barrel
indecisive
finger on the trigger
of hope
quiet
always quiet...

Laughter

Laughter

Lifted
Are the spirits
Unguarded the moment
Gossamer sounds filling the air
Heartfelt

Why did you touch me?

Why did you touch me?

you left an Imprint
blood stain?

ink
a Red illusion
vivid
in the dark hallows
of my imagination
provoking
the words
thought forgot
a shocking reality
my first Impression
death

but it is Life that you breathe...

Secret Longing

Secret Longing

In my mind
I can see you
Your eyes welcoming
Your words kind
I imagine
Your touch
Your warm embrace
I linger there
In your presence
Remembering
Secretly longing
For what was
Once...
