C and K Words

Spring Heart

deciduous heart
like the elm tree losing leaves
a heart made for Spring

turn towards the sea
away from the proposal
a sapphire promise
calling for the one you love
walk into the saltwater

The Wind and Sleet come
Water on the Windscreens and
the Windows of Home
Sparrows on the bare branches
Lost to the rain and the Wind

From the winter night
youthful crimson lips appear
With Bloom’s sweet promise
caught within those deep green eyes
A delicious meal for one

Blinds hide the sunlight
another financial year
letting some light in
The quarterly budget tears
shining sunlight on the screen

Winter rain windscreen
The week’s collection of thoughts
Together we sit
Feeling the whispering rain
Waiting for more time alone

The winter night comes.
Pastel persimmon and pink,
with fiery orange.
The sky turns to violet,
indigo and the darkness.

The thunderous rain
a promise made between two
The cat meows, “No!”
Heavy rain becomes a storm
a promise broken again

Sea pigeons do circle
The scent of methane, rotten and sour
dreaming of verdant green

forgotten by the world
sitting beside a broken toaster
kettle without a cup

We remember a home
to be of service, to have purpose
boiling, steaming, toasting

Idle
We sit contemplating
Waiting

Watching the sparrows
Birds become interesting
sitting by the sill
a spiritual knowing
mesmerised by the gossip
