There’s an idiom about you;
you clutching at old words.
Wondering about you again;
again I make haste slowly.
Frightened by the night sky;
sky dreams telling me lies.
Waiting for your love again;
again you’ll choose to hide.
Wondering & Waiting

The Writing Desk
Unable to concentrate.
Too much clothing inhibits the words,
so the bra hits the door.
Writing words remains elusive.
Words need more -,
so she takes off her dress.
Words start flowing fast,
nipples hang low to touch the desk,
a poetic masterpiece
falls from her pen.
Silent Words
Keeping the silence
Silent controversial words
Hiding all my words
Cracks appear in the silence
Words begin to pour away
A Shooting Star
The words are all wrong,
nothing seems to rhyme,
and there is no flowing.
Sitting alone watching,
waiting for inspiration,
hoping for a moonlit sign.
The neighbour waves,
stops for a moment and points
towards the starlit night.
A shooting star,
inspiration,
words forming.
Love’s Word
We look towards the horizon without saying a word;
you, and I know we are beyond those words.
Yet we dream, we laugh, and we think of one word;
we look, we think, and we say love’s word.
Haiku: Weight of your Words
The weight of your words,
heavy on my broad shoulders
as the night sets in.
Words Then, Words Now
Words were spoken, they never existed before.
We talked about change, difference, radical noises.
Our speech was louder, clear convictions, true directions.
Words are spoken in guarded tones, censured.
We talk about survival, sleeping in, making sad noises.
Our speech is quieter, muffled opinions, limited directions.
Nothing left to Say
When there was nothing left to say, no words worth speaking, those times were the loudest.
You lived in the noise of it all, trying to find the quiet places and spaces for you, yourself.
When you spoke, the words wouldn’t come out and you found that there’s no relief.
Drift Words
From pink lips drift words, move along the wind, through the rivers, down into the valleys and the dark hidden places.
Creatures once asleep awaken to hear those words and feel the call to her again.
Frozen Words
Frozen words never
leave your lips,
for the chosen
do not require words.
