Surprise Brownies

03/07/2023 C and K WordsLeave a comment

A dancing teapot
The cat speaks about a fly
A haze moves around
The brownies were magical
Floating with a tea cosy

Silent Words

27/06/202318/06/2023 C and K WordsLeave a comment

Keeping the silence
Silent controversial words
Hiding all my words
Cracks appear in the silence
Words begin to pour away

The Fence

26/06/202317/06/2023 C and K Words1 Comment

A straight division
Once we had hugs and kisses
Now pillows divide
When did we put up the fence?
Lamenting what we once had

Confused Seasons & Hygge

24/06/202317/06/2023 C and K WordsLeave a comment

Winter has found us
Autumn took a vacation
for a hint of Spring
A wind moves from off the snow
Hygge weekends with you and books

A Song

22/06/202317/06/2023 C and K Words2 Comments

We speak in flowers
We gaze on life through art
We hear the rustle
of a song beginning to
play from a place we forgot

Jar of our Love

the jar of our love
when we met, the lid was sealed
then wheezing began
one day the lid blew skyward
you looked pale; I looked startled

To be a Prince

weighed down by duty
constrained by formality
you retreat from sight
contemplating the roses
gazing upon the free stars

A Vision

A terrible heat
the desert covers our land
longing for raindrops
A vision of the sea comes
the feeling of a river

With the Sea

Far from the traffic
We stop thinking about time
Daydreaming away
Now that the sea is so close
No whispering from afar

A Sleepless Night

Noisy Cockatoos
Vocalising their feelings
Feeling so frazzled
My mind is like a blue screen
The Cockatoo says reboot
