Where the blue meets the grey,
between those rain cloud colours,
that is where I will meet you.

Lullaby
The world will be well
Lay down your head and listen
to the lullaby
There is no ending today
and no beginning tomorrow
Sleep will soon take you
Dreams of dragons and magic
Sweet dreaming, dear one
There is magic in today
Wonder in tomorrow
Sea Inspiration
Sitting on the sand,
soaking up the sea;
Salty inspiration.
Lost in the Afternoon
I have been sitting at my computer, floating away in the afternoon sun, looking at the unmowed lawn in the backyard.
It’s nice to take some time to watch without having a deadline, although the backyard looks alive and full of nippy insects.
Saturday is going too fast.
Pocketful of Promises
A pocketful of promises,
given without proper thought.
All promises were now broken,
glowing sadly in the darkness.
Another love’s life touched;
Another hurt, grief-stricken heart.
Missed Opportunity
A quick cheeky wink
Hoping for love’s first nibble
A quick side-eye glance
Discovering a partner
Feeling sorry for yourself
Prompts
When all the prompts fail me,
when there is no inspiration,
I turn to you: music.
When I feel the words fading,
when the poetry sounds odd,
I turn to play a song.
When I turn, something comes.
The East
Take me back to the east,
show me the waves of the pacific ocean,
Let’s swim in the sunlight,
tell me another funny story, my one love.
A Song
A song speaks to you
stories in the melody
stirring memories
You play the song on repeat
shifting your emotions, soul
Used Book Store
Distorted shapes
Deep shadows and patches of light
Lost deep in thought before the rows of books
Touching the covers, reading the spines, looking at the art
Taken from the world outside, finding hidden gems
Hiding in the deep shadows, moving into the light
Hovering around the rare books dreaming of vanilla cake
The distorted shapes seem familiar
Moving to the counter, hesitating and moving back again
