You might, and anyway why wouldn’t you

Outside

The cricket pavilion

The sky is blue

Sauvignon

No trace

Vermillion


In time

The censor tried

My friends

They cried

Just shave her

Brazilian

Softly, slow down, wait awhile

How softly could you be spoken

How open

To a token of my love


How by the roadside

Would be broken

The unspoken language of our love


That moment

Awoken almost by Neruda

With the gentleness above


Softer, less, let it be lower

Endowed

With the power of good


The flowers beside you

Shower

Your love


Wait

Just as long as you want to

Spoken, how only you could

It is a miracle, I believe you

Your garden

A thirty year construction

Self, from within the self


Deep meaning

A flash of light deduction

Dwell, no more to religion tell


Your vision

Out of darkness

Away from fear or flight


Keep dreaming

With nature’s seduction

Sell the sail of light


You are one

The same two person being

Independent of each other


Seen seeming

Without of contradiction

Able to care and cooperate


Your me

I came with no reason

The season though has changed


I’m leaning

To see the garden gate

My birthday, my dilettante date

A long, not lost, weekend

I fall asleep to the sound of Buddha Maitreya

I wake to find your hand hold of my fingers

The singer of the song sings I love you

I believe in the circle of the ring we seek


Hours of lost moments retiring into my sleep

Our evening turned into morning

Our love fascinated by the keep and the keepsakes

Our details deeper than the skin we reap


Your day, our journey, your questions, our purpose

Our unconditional leap it is a life’s work

If you want to help; neat

Seek out the formed and rounded boulder


Take them to Buddha Maitreya

Ask if they can be the payment for our keep

Sheaves

Sat in the snug

The rug before the open fire

After a walk along the pavements

Past the sculpture

Behind the church


Overheard Irish accents

Using militaristic terms

Talks of re-unions

Open doors

Did I hear the words of war


Anyhow

The kindly landlord

Called last orders

Once more out onto the street

Once more out in to the night


We tiptoed, we whispered

We thought perhaps to scare

To tell of subterfuge

And sabotage

And all the glory of no more


Before then our love

That night we visited

As children at the fair

Oh so then our love

That night revisited


In flames of passion bore

Later a Mexican beer

A slice of lime

The same old faces

As from before


The talk of re-union

Was of a day at the races

The trace of hearing few

We tiptoed and we whispered

And smiled for what we knew


Again, before then our love

The night we visited

As children blessed, so so free, so so rare

Oh then our love

The night we revisited in flames of passion dare
