On Being Desirous Of Subtlety

Cloud covers sun
Sun breaks through

Darkness
Takes the mood with you

Lightness
Opens o so many doors

Half Remembered

Love is in each skip
I take that
From the Maypole Dance

A time, a place
A part of junior-school memorabilia
Which occasionally surfaces

Smiles
That mean more than smiles
Take off runways
To the excitement
That love holds as a blossom

Ambivalent touch
The necessity of inclination
Held in suspension
As if once droplets
Of loves fair fragrance

Departure Point

Cream
Or cheese
On white
Or brown
With honey
Or almonds

Indulge yourself
Sit quietly
Think on this time
Your time
No intrusions
If...

Imagine anything you wish
For myself
I walk along a deserted beach
Luxuriate
In the clear and sparkling waters
Think of all those plans
That may one day come to fruition

Match

Would we dare
Could we fare together
To stop and stare
Share our hopes
As if to the post
We should fold
And fix and tether

Aim to be less clever
Shore as a pair
To climb the stair
Bind our ropes
As with the most
We may hold
And mix and treasure

The Frequencies Of Noise

Turbulence
In a stationary mind
Caught up
In yesterday's reflections

Caught up in the buzz
Of disappearing
Up ones own
Self centered satisfaction

Always thus
Those past years
Those past sunbeams
Those past stationary glances

Of a thing taken for beauty
Of a person, or an object
Or best of all, of the one idea
That touched some sensitivity

As if to be the butterfly
In an everlasting dream
