The ruby red vessel
The brandy glass curve
Lips and hips
Shaped without worry
This is a love story
Two lovers
Separated by
Too much love
The silken smile
A face formed classic
A gentle tear
Sense of vulnerability
Love stories endure
These lovers are lost
Lost
In too much love

Now that you have all that space
I guess that you will want to fill it
My new space is a much smaller place
But still with dreams I wish to instil it
Look back beyond the past
Inside the cardboard box
You that’s cast for life to last
Ploughed, furrowed, pulled by the ox
The photographs and late night notes
Advertisements for the theatre
Packed away, that was yesterday
How to explain, how did I mistreat her
That solemn vow, maybe now
Would be the time to ask
Momenta passed as slow time flashed
An untied knot of memories masked

Pictures for an exhibition
Rendered; grounds for inhibition
You posed on the velvet couch
You rose way beyond your stature
Angels and seraphims
Volcanoes and sips of gin
The brush stroke, the mind’s eye
Touch to torture, touch close to sky
Velvet drapes and plumed-up capes
Forage, rummage
Eyeliner, lipstick emboss
He caught the colour of your cherubs
He caught a flash of thunderous youth
You felt the flush of courage
You smiled and asked him why
The answer fair perplexed you
Almost made you cry
The answer fair perplexed you
Just once he looked into your eye
Just once more, he said
Just once before I die

Introspect
With or without impunity
Neglect
It could be the ruin of me
Respect
The need for community
Your love
I’m searching for immunity
Deflect
Undertake no surety
Suspect
The cure for free
Detect
The waves at sea
Your love
I had that certainty
Perplexed
Thoughts endure you see
If I had a cigarette
I would be surer to be
One more narcotic step
One too far; dee de dee
Your love
Look what it’s done for me
Reflect
The durability
Sold or let but don’t forget
That is my mind's agility
Let’s then set
Free the fragility
Your love
Thankful for criticality

Clouds
Scattered over
Seas
Washed over
Beds
Laid over
Stars
Reflected over
Skies
Covered over
Love falls over sands
Love sparkles over
Over moons
Engagements of love
