Silver Birds

Into the mist

As if

No don’t go there

Ok, if you must


Out in the distance

Different

Kinds

Of aeroplanes


That one listed for tourism

This one

Well abstaining of war

I suppose


Back from the resistance

Pray do tell; did you crossover

You didn’t, well

It’s no matter

Being I

So far from god

I find another god

The god of I

I, being I


So out of touch

With all I had to touch

The touch of I

I, touching I


Four walls

And a resounding mind

Where else to be

I, sounding I


Years of love

More years than memories

How to make any sense

I, remembering I

Four Tops

Once more I’m on my own

Although not this time alone

At least different

To how you first found me


I did not turn to stone

Neither sat on a gilt-edged throne

Instead I became transformed

Once you did astound me


Encouraged again to roam

With perfect ice cream cone

Down county land to beach

So so loosely you bound me

That Love

That love should be so strong

As to continually remind you

Even with your eyes closed

And with your lips sealed

The taste and the beauty

May still be waken


That love should last so long

As to continuously define you

Even with your thoughts stilled

And with your heart settled

The beat and the rhythm

May still be shaken


That love should be long gone

As to contemporaneously find you

Even with your smooth skin

And your polish from within

The touch and the feel

May still be taken

Spot

How will the lamp sit

Where might its light fall

And the bookshelves

Who else needs to know


What is read

Is also written

Isn’t that so

Even for those not-believed


How will the desk be used

Where would the words come from

And the poems

Who else needs to know


What is thought

Is also felt

Isn’t that so

Even for those recent reconnected
