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
Most days I would try to write a poem; it is a practice, as I suppose is meditation, or smiling, or watching the world go by
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
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
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
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
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
