Pristine

You took your time, to look so good

You stole my mind, they said you would

With half a sign, the half that almost misunderstood

More than half unkind, the half that knew I no how should

We danced the line, swayed, yet somehow leaning stood

I said you're mine, pray venture, to flow deep within my blood

Time stood still, as if our place was under the rainbows hood

We cared for the thrill, spilt the rest, left unfulfilled in bluebell wood

Daylong nights took their toll, our play turned bad, we'd had it good

We departed, the drift to roll; our hopelessness started, we knew it could

You look so good, I took my time

I dreamt you would, you appear quite sublime

Flirtatious

Cockatiel & coffee cup

Steal the dreams of able

Sit there by the mirage fair

Cards laid on the table

Ace is high but draw it slow

Takes a while for love to show

Kings and Queens they stand in line

Touch their breath & pray for time

One and one is, as could never be

Mismatched beside the stable

All to hope is all can change

Witness sent by telegraph cable

Visitation

Another teatime supermarket cafe

At the end of a rainy day in Yorkshire

Should I stay or should I walk away

Who is that, sat, at the table in the corner

I replay the mind games, where she slays

Where her movement is there in time

Soft skin, wrapped around the sounds of violin

Let me leave you now, to go become the loner

Twisted scarf, tied up hair, arm that moves

With thoughts so fair; should I stay, fill my coffee

To the brim, ask: are you my sweetest Rose, or

Are you the unfaithful, faithless Desdemona

It all adds up

I feel you in my bones

Your whole you

Unfolds within my body

I smile, as your thoughts

Play with those in my mind

In this there becomes

A new entity

An entirety; more than one

With faith enough to move on

Courage gathered to go forwards

I cannot physically

Embrace you; not in

A screen filled photograph

I cannot chase you down

The sepia tone path

I no longer expect

Special journeys

Into the supernatural

Although we once believed

In the power of transference

Didn't we? Didn't we?

The pampas grass

Is blown vigorously

In this the windswept

Stormed & saturated

North of England

Not as the calm palms

Of the warm sunshine

Island’s waterfront

Where the promenade

Once walked with me

Mirrors

Beautiful people

Central vacation

Hair and beauty and

Food; for her body

and her soul brothers
