fluid words are all I have for you so that they may fill the crevices of your desire the furrows that the wind has made in your archaic structure so that you can lay floating on them relieve the weight of your haunting fluid words that may lighten you and darken me my veins like aqueducts leading this fluid that might solidify my essence within you

Love in a time of anonymity
And then it started; the midnight express - the train that trails paths of smoke through my mind. Constant journeys frequent stops; window-less cabins filled with thoughts, smiling, like eager passengers awaiting a station… So often they wander up and down the walkways, the pathways, softly crafted with ideas shapes, colours… Only to find You, a fellow passenger, another being on this locomotive attracted to that seat occupied by your mind that glows of nirvana Welcome aboard..

Late night ramblings

Fluidic
a moment to reflect: moments like two earphones; plug & play euphoria nothing like it if only filing them was possible – keepskaes of the mind hoarding is essential! hoarding for those times of drought drought of feelings worth the paper they are written on writers block can ****** those who do not hoard those painful realisations of space space in a mind and soul worth filling, worth emptying of shadows worth hoarding of all things for times of drought..

Barren Moments
Time makes every fold apparent every curve more d e f i n e d The auspicious way in which your fingers search for every crevice gently easing limbs apart by - touch – the sensation of searching for what you know is there; a slight excitement comprised of drawn out longing and the knowledge of finding – e v e r y fold of skin… clutching yours after mere moments of breathlessness, though no sound, it screams of you like the hairs on the small of my back does too. My lustful posture encompassed by you over you under you around you – you, who finds desire in every fold of skin.

Every
An attempt at engaging with paper; plain paper; plain (possibly poetic) paper Dark upon light the words form craters - reader; BEWARE! We are dangerous; we who put dark upon light pen upon paper; we who create obstacles of thought. Arid is the soul before poetic rainfall. Helpless is the mind before poetic grace. Dangerous? -NO- perhaps more vital – we who put pen upon paper.

Engagement; a paper ring
Sometimes I cry for you And sometimes I cry for me But my eyes leak for us. Fish cannot fathom the rivers I have created for Us. The Us that runs to me like a child with open arms but I am tired too tired to pick Us up spin Us in the air make Us a laugh.. It needs water but my spirit is parched. It needs food but my storeroom -heart is empty. I want You to meet Us I want Us to spend time with You and I. I fathom fantasies that can turn a U into a W and a S into an E…

Rivered eyes
This time of day offers a hint of textured space or perhaps the strong thought of you gives this morning its soft feeling. The odour of longing hangs in the air that lulls me back to sleep… It is as if the birds know of my lot; condescending chirps from branches just beyond my reach. But this space is mine alone; my solitary has claimed it, set it aside for the mourning of your absence… There is space only for your haunting here amongst the cold grass blades… not for the warm, flesh and blood, you… I dance each morning with the ghost of you and I twirl -such rhythmic twirls- in this space I call my own…

Space for reflection
The fact is your presence is intoxicating like smoke you enter assaulting my body but soothing my mind creator of soul shadows; flavours of margarita, mohitos on the side – all I want is you on the side i want you when your absence is obvious you are my soul-searcher, my thought-finder this mind that holds you intact caresses me (envelopes) me (completely) light to dark you are my solar eclipse between what is and what should be you are you, just the way I never expected you – talk to me; I have ears and eyes and arms and hands for you alone patches of paint I give to you to mix and match to find me; your woman of colours.

Woman of Colours
Words rise much like the sun does 4:30 not 4 not 5 and your absence is as piercing as the rays across a sky, this sky the same sky you and I share all these mornings when we are together and apart. Because I know that the sound of the birds here stroke your ears the same way they do mine Identical space carefully divided and separated by miles of just land… just sun… just birds…
