A to B

Place names 

Shine out

As if called

By times longest lived emotion

Human games

Find doubt

Dice rolled

With signs of highest devotion

Shame faced

Dull shout

Smile stalled

Lost rhymes of quiet commotion

Dorchester

Between the airport

& the bachelor flat

“Would you care to call here

It's a while before we will be back”

Overjoyed at how you liked the space

& how this band of Old England 

So well & truly suited you

We could have stayed longer

We could have stayed over

Except that your excitement

To be at my place, lustful

Your desire grew and grew

Between the blue door and the bedsit

It wouldn't have worked if I'd stayed

“Should you care ever to call here

It'd bring a smile on, she said, looking back”

Haze

Sunlight lightens the mood

Empowers the spirit

To reach into the positive arena

Of the reflective self

To why we are here

Where we are going

The warm sun cares not a jot

Without the cache of despair

The ball of endless fire is able

To enliven us as any goddess

That the summer will bring blossom

To the Laburnum is without doubt

Yet the tree knows nought of this

So we sentients choose to believe

Whether our own minuscule plans

Our intricate preparations take affect

Do we have the need to care

Instead let us be, as the sunlight

Free off our traps; flare

Walk tall in our uncertainty

Side by Side

To sit beside you

With sunlight, or rain

At the window

Not to be

On nights away

Summer or winter

That peace waits

For loves return

Is ever welcome

Droplets of Joy

Thin subliminal

Sounds of the ocean

Wave by cascading wave

Trickling harp by trickling hearts

Darkness by the absence

Of artificial light

Darkness by the closure

Of the certain parts

Super longevity

In this small four walled room

Super sized brevity

Of past times stolen darts
