the sun lit silk threads
a fly buzzes within the
sticky spider web
alert from the vibrations
scurrying towards dinner

The Belter
Oh, my beat-up heart
She tests me at every turn
sass on steroids, this one
always bossing me about
while looking at other men
never enough jewels
Oh, but I love her so much
The rare tender moments
I’m the luckiest bloke
Sleeping Child
Within the grey day of solitude,
they walked through the cemetery.
Carefully walking around the dead,
respectfully contemplative.
An angel carved from stone sits still,
head bowed in the sorrows.
Withstanding the seasons for her,
the sleeping child within.
Grey Memories
The maddening grey
You, conjuring memories
The charm bracelet sways
Lightning strikes the ancient tree
The thundering rain soaks you
Dark Mischief
No heat on at night
the cold crisp covers caress you.
Positioned for sleep
the cat positions herself near your leg.
Waking at three am
the pain of a numb leg and the great urge.
Wobbling in the dark
almost falling into the toilet darkness.
Coming back to bed
The mischief begins
Spring Heart
deciduous heart
like the elm tree losing leaves
a heart made for Spring
Love & Sea
turn towards the sea
away from the proposal
a sapphire promise
calling for the one you love
walk into the saltwater
A Youthful Kiss
From the winter night
youthful crimson lips appear
With Bloom’s sweet promise
caught within those deep green eyes
A delicious meal for one
Quarterly Budget
Blinds hide the sunlight
another financial year
letting some light in
The quarterly budget tears
shining sunlight on the screen
Waiting
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
