dusting off the hurt
washing away the sadness
drying salty tears
you, a quiet resilience
walking with courage and love

Surprise Brownies
A dancing teapot
The cat speaks about a fly
A haze moves around
The brownies were magical
Floating with a tea cosy
Silent Words
Keeping the silence
Silent controversial words
Hiding all my words
Cracks appear in the silence
Words begin to pour away
Confused Seasons & Hygge
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
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
Alone without the Sea
The sea is too wild
the waves are crashing loudly
so unnatural
You boycott walks to the sea
you sit alone wondering
