what did i give

what did i give

what do i have to give

is my not letting go

your way

of having me let go

are my repetitive words

troublesome

do my escapist thoughts

leave you altogether underwhelmed

what did we have

you gift me your anxiety

you gift me your anxiety

in couplets

and triptychs


you gift me your love

through echoes

and vibrations


you are simply being

in the beautiful truth

beyond explanations


yours is the mantra

which continues

to chime repeatedly

given his mother’s

maiden name


how did his father

let go so so easily

of his inheritance


do we need to know

the moment of conception

amidst their journey of love

the story will follow

the story will follow

the line of the curve

of natural dispersion

of growth and decay


each chapter

may have its own curve

with show and tell

exposed in equal measure


part history

part psychology

part psychotherapy

mostly insight for examination


there will be moods

also opportunities

for resolution

and absolutely there will be love

alone

alone

in the quiet space

i am quite able

to sensibly and sensitively forget

to faultlessly and figuratively remember


white clouds

black clouds

blue skies and sunshine


raindrops

snowflakes

walks on open moorland


alone

in the dark space

i am more than able

to independently and together share

also to liminally and lovingly just be
