I gaze up at the sky:
all day cast in shades of blue
as clouds move in harmony
when night shades of darkness
etch textured moonlight watching
in the wake of this passing day.
I think of you in nautical miles:
for in whatever distance we are
we share the same sky
over a smooth or rough sea
reflecting the same drops of water
in hues of blue in my imagination
forming you on the horizon.
It is then I listen out
in the solitude of my room:
some times in the same dark
some times in the same light
for the still sound of your voice
for the plain sight of your smile.

I imagine the sound of your
voice, the words you spoke
of love that linger echoing
in my quiet corners of time.
I miss you in the sense
that separate from you
I am no longer whole:
only part of a poem
sketched in the sky, forming
for your eyes only to read.
I am not of the passionate kind:
I love too softly, too shyly,
mostly a little too deeply.
Still: soothed by touches of your
remote hands - I rest content.

If words were water
I’d never drown
but float wave on
wave of them
over stormy seas
to you my only
certain landfall.
There to cascade
into a pure haven
of heart’s desire,
safe under shade
of your protecting
wings my words
will flow to tell
the endless tides
of ageless time
I am in love
with you as
long as our
hearts beat.

Whatever distance
my mind and body
travels in time,
journey’s end
is us united
in the same
sacred place.
There, in our
loving hearts
where our eyes
magnetically met.
From here on,
our souls
twinned as one.
We fell in love
far longer than
a lifetime’s span
forever bonded
fixed for eternity.

You etch your
words upon my heart:
in pure white light
I read them.
I sip the nectar
of your pure
spoken sincerity.
I breathe in your
warm compassion.
I touch the tender rays
of infinite white light.
You meet me in the space
between your words.
Together we talk
and walk on sacred ground.

April will be remembered
as truly the cruellest month.
Deep in careless slumber,
we woke up in dismay.
Centre Parcs no longer magical
Paris no longer romantic.
The Big Apple confounded
China’s Great Wall breached,
Mecca’s Kaballah pilgrims bereft.
We dig deep into politician’s lies
in hope of finding the truth.
Overnight the vulnerable elderly
are locked-in social-distance lepers
all acts of affection to them denied.
Winnowed they will be
our mature corn as chaff
while good and bad
find no partition.

We shall be winnowed by so rough a wind
that all our corn shall seem as light as chaff
and good and bad find no partition.

Au naturelle
You slip off all:
I imagine before
a full length mirror.
As silken top slides
down your contours
to reveal all aspects
of your cool beauty
the possibilities
beguile me.
Your power to charm
is palpable:
a sight none but
I see released,
showing elements
of your alchemy,
your magic.
Thus you appear
adorable, mute
in music’s sound.
while memory
sketches in the
rest of you.

My wishes are: that they will
convey comfort in trying times.
Smiles where sadness intrudes.
Rainbows to melt dark clouds.
Laughter as kisses on parched lips.
Sunsets to warm all hearts.
Hugs when spirits are low.
Amity to brighten their being.
A Muse to inspire them.
Faith in which to believe
in Poetry's possibilities.
Courage to know themselves.
Confidence when in doubt.
Good health and the patience
to accept what is - that they
can go on to live a long
and fulfilling happy life .
Above all I wish them
more Inspiration - less
Perspiration in their writing:
moreover boundless creativity.
