***
under
blue skies
on the mountain top
this summer
we met
***
ever so gently
you took my head
kissed me both cheeks
your forehead to mine
you held me
forever
***
***
locked
away
so deep inside
secrets
in those eyes
***
***
voices
of the children
silent
these shifting grains of sand
along the shore
***
faded
with time
this creased photograph
the boy who smiled
my brother
***
silent ghosts
orbs of night's sleep
lighting the way
no-one arrives
no-one leaves
***
eyes
so deep
this universe
the stars we fly
in orbs of light
***
war gravestones
crumbling away
two seagulls sit and watch
***
falling
one by one
on war graves
these cleansing tears
of raindrops
***
ocean of my soul
so deep
I swim
into
depths of you
***
in my pocket
a white feather
two seagulls watching
***
sea foam
taking flight
fluttering
butterflies
kiss my toes
***
falling
a white feather
disappears
into colours
of your rainbow
***
hiding a whisper
of you and I
moss covered names
***
***
the silent child
she breathed in
the moon and stars
***
disappearing
round a corner
the past
***
***
this voyage
your silence
I watch and I wait
***
***
remembering
the past
gnarled hands
softly stirring
aged eyes
and soft hearts
***
silken
shadows
this skin
of water's
existence
***
sleeping the stars
a gentle fall
of rain
***
made from
rainbows dancing
on the sea
my name
I will never know
***
each way I turn
this blue of you
reaching out
and yet
silence
***
trickling
down granite
stone
this melancholy
of thought
***
painting
this endless night
the moon
who remains
to grieve
****
***
restless
this distant grey
your voice
softer now
drifts back
***
long ago
amidst
dawn's mists
this story
began
***
this afternoon
watching you
I realise
you
have to go
***
at the end
of the day
alone
evening
has no end
***
hanging
in the air
echoes of our future
be safe
take care
***
candle
a lighthouse beam
this night
of soft
goodbyes
***
***
walking
the shore line
at midnight
an infinity
of star-shells
***
love
in this lifetime
our
moss-covered
initials
***
this distance
between us
time
passes
s i l e n t l y
***
dreaming
your words
these soft winds
carry them away
one by one
***
black
the night unfurls
a feather
softly
so softly
***
sitting
in the soft green light
she watched
all the people
slowly fade away
***
***
sky
so blue
all day
the child's windmill
perfectly still
***
beneath
tall spiked leaves
cold shadows
each thought
so carefully sown
***
waves
stealing
from sea shores
rounded pebbles
a ridge line
just out of sight
salt spray eyes
bluer
than an ocean is deep
***
shadows
this blue light of you
those unreal years
***
rippling
over rounded pebbles
golden water
this heartbeat
of healing
***
a trail
of words you laid
your eyes
mists of hopes
and dreams
***
green ferns
silent mists
reflecting
all the words
imprisoned
***
mirroring
her life
a little ballerina
dancing
within the music box
***
***
sky
so blue
all day
the weather vane
perfectly still
***
slipping
through your fingers
the music fades
note by note
the hourglass empties
***
dreaming
your words
these soft winds
carry them away
one by one
***
blossoming
for such
a brief time
yet twined together
for eternity
***
hanging
in the air
echoes of our future
be safe
take care
***
restlessness
now you are
gone
those rusted
seams
***
***
awaking
just in time
the sleeper
sees this
fluttering of dreams
***
a gentle
fall of rain
these dewey eyes
***
fluttering
in my head
thoughts
so fleeting
these wings of flight
***
***
tumbling
into waters
deep
reflections
of moon's breath
***
sorrow
why does it jaggedly
come here
to sit
by my feet
***
night unfurls
wings so black
a feather
falling
so softly
***
crossroads
of time
dawn
embracing
both night and day
***
watercolour dreams
of laughter
fading away
shadows
of your memories
***
where
does this dream
end
***
***
cradle
of your heart
freedoms
dancing
this painted sky
***
wandering
within
silence
thoughts
shimmering
***
fragrance
of dreams
as petals fall
these dark seeds
grow
***
***
honing her skills
on autumn leaves
fat tabby cat
***
these
arms of mine
so tired
weightless
I fly
***
becoming
part of you
I lose myself
yet I find
other parts of me
***
***
again
she swooped
her dive
rippling the pond
empty
***
this morning
watching from my bed
a flypast
thirteen
geese
***
at the end
of my bed
the dog
having dreams
she wakes me at midnight
***
a silver mirror
at the end of the day
the lake
waiting
for moon's reflection
***
the light
by the sea
a double rainbow
she pulls her jacket round her
and she waits
***
through
falling leaves
wind whistles
a whirlwind
of snowflakes
***
bare ribbed sand
this past of days
distant
a sea
recedes
***
if only
I could turn
this page
open
for yesterday
***
dried
honesty pods
parchment thin
the skin
on my arms
***
a child dances
from deep inside
of me
a river flows
soft shadows of absence
***
only the moon
freed from the sky
shone
this touch
of light
***
a twisted tree
overhangs
the bench
where are the years
when we were young
***
***
these stones
of night
opening
petals
of moonlight
***
catching her
from a thousand miles away
a lullaby of the night
the song
she heard
***
collecting
sea shells
filling the glass bowl
the sea
empties
***
***
finally
I see
my loneliness
***
when autumn woke up
she wondered
where summer had gone
***
colours of greyness
colours of the sun
sea washed
memories
of silence
***
the dreaming world
turns
waiting there
just
for a moment
***
***
mirrored stars
escaping
one by one
***
silence fades
no one enters
these still waters
silently they walk
a loneliness
***
benches
in the town hall square
under the trees
she sits
and waits
***
***
the clock
in the darkness
is nothing
just the tremor
of the second hand
***
feathers
buried
in the sand
her flight
only whispers to the stars
***
shadows
of your voice
scattered dreams
your hands
so cold
***
turning
on its axis
the dreaming world
she could not
enter yet
***
at midnight
I too
will be silent
the world
forgets to breathe
***
dancing
in the wind
two seagulls
***
carried away
on an ebb tide
memories
***
distance
of your gaze
hauntings of your dreams
***
ocean
of your eyes
so hard to see
through seas
of blue water
***
***
holding
her breath
this distance
between
worlds
***
fragments of song
blue of you
and your seas
***
dancing stars
I know
what I have lost
***
it waits
there a moment
then walks away
your eyes
constantly seeking
***
pages
of a book
fluttering
these wings
of change
***
sleeping
these dreams
of the sea
the lighthouse
waits for night
***
walking
down a time
when I never was
and when
I never knew
***
thoughts
do not die
consciousness
constellations
of scattered stars
***
a crescent moon
scythes
the sky
this deepness
of hurt
***
the sound
of two hands
clapping
another mosquito
bites the dust
***
rolling
into waves
sky
mingles
with the sea
***
this distance
you keep
protecting
tired dreams
on days like these
***
***
flickering
like an old movie
an elevator light
***
only
stillness
a rustle
withering leaves
crumble
***
ghosts
of shadows
these dirt tracks
a narrowness
of dust
***
chairs
of memories
these empty seats
details
of all those years
***
dust
of the setting sun
this colour
of bleeding
hearts
***
***
rearview mirror
I finally see
my loneliness
***
riding
the story of history
truth
***
random
thoughts
a cold dawn
this spider web
sifts shadows
***
time
closed down
tunnel vision
a sharp scent
hit her nostrils
***
***
before
she sleeps
she goes out
to breathe
the scents of night
***
you pulled me
into your life
rooms of dreams
***
wandering
in and out
of afternoons
***
one by one
either side of existence
video clips
deleted
one by one
***
tumbling
dark waterfalls
a thermos
pours
its coffee
***
an
emptiness
as though
nothing
exists
***
in the chasm
of this deep
I drift
into
consciousness
***
you wandered far
silent and white
this winter
***
***
dim
blue glow
between clouds
a fading
of the moon
***
silence fell
though a hole
in the air
***
the child
sat there
waiting
for the latch
to lift
***
buried
suns
of long ago
this space
between our worlds
***
in her head
rooms
rearranging
scattered
shadows
***
wandering
in and out
of afternoons
autumn's
blue skies
***
crimson leaves
softly
falling
on wings of paper
she flew
***
as paint
flakes off
this red rust
in a room
of shadows
***
***
whirl
of time
what is it
I
am supposed to remember
***
three
wildflowers
you gave me
and the gentlest
of kisses
***
at midnight
the child with silent ears
listening to the wind
through her hair
singing songs of the sea
***
***
***
under
blue skies
on the mountain top
this summer
we met
***
ever so gently
you took my head
kissed me both cheeks
your forehead to mine
you held me
forever
***
***
locked
away
so deep inside
secrets
in those eyes
***
***
voices
of the children
silent
these shifting grains of sand
along the shore
***
faded
with time
this creased photograph
the boy who smiled
my brother
***
silent ghosts
orbs of night's sleep
lighting the way
no-one arrives
no-one leaves
***
eyes
so deep
this universe
the stars we fly
in orbs of light
***
war gravestones
crumbling away
two seagulls sit and watch
***
falling
one by one
on war graves
these cleansing tears
of raindrops
***
ocean of my soul
so deep
I swim
into
depths of you
***
in my pocket
a white feather
two seagulls watching
***
sea foam
taking flight
fluttering
butterflies
kiss my toes
***
falling
a white feather
disappears
into colours
of your rainbow
***
hiding a whisper
of you and I
moss covered names
***
***
the silent child
she breathed in
the moon and stars
***
disappearing
round a corner
the past
***

this voyage
your silence
I watch and I wait

remembering
the past
gnarled hands
softly stirring
aged eyes
and soft hearts

silken
shadows
this skin
of water's
existence
***
sleeping the stars
a gentle fall
of rain

made from
rainbows dancing
on the sea
my name
I will never know

each way I turn
this blue of you
reaching out
and yet
silence

trickling
down granite
stone
this melancholy
of thought

painting
this endless night
the moon
who remains
to grieve

restless
this distant grey
your voice
softer now
drifts back
