I see I saw The sea You see The tide It turned The sea It washed Over me You see I saw The ebb The flow The sea It saw It sees The me The you The us The we It sighed You see It sighs The sea The tide The time The energy It sees The pain It saw The moon It turned It sees You see The sea

Sea Saw
I turn my face To morning chorus Of fresh breeze Of expectant shadow I hold out my hand To the space that's you In that single moment My perfect happens

The write time
Railway station waiting room sitting anticipating inspiration Breathing slows as calm descends with a black lace shroud Mystery light and honesty filter through the spaces in between Thoughts float up then disperse on the wind searching for a patch of fresh earth The platform rises up and beckons me to trust instinctively Soon I will be taken from here to find my bodies position in a different place My absence of presence will be noted in the subtle shift A whisper of inquisitiveness will leave it's mark on those who pass by my shadow ghost The past will greet the present like a familiar friend before walking into the future.

Gone
Sitting on hands Feet turning inwards Trying to hide the inside From the outside world Goosebumps on pale skin Patiently waiting For the hand that feeds crumbs Listen carefully can hear a tiny voice? Perched precariously Head lifts Heart beat quickens Fingers unhinge the cage The door creaks With wings unclipped Freedom beckons Yawn awake Hear the delicate song

Bird Girl
I can taste the lies you left in the corner of my mouth I cut my teeth on words that once danced on my tongue Tastebuds tingled as the sentiment made sense Tongues tied as eyes widened with the beliefs I choke on the aftertaste of lips you serviced

Say it
It will be happy Sad and Lonely There will be wishful thinking Achievements disappointments Love and tears Hope and fears Arguments, in depth discussions Songs, poetry and prose Cold times, hard times Amazing A little bit of wonderful A whole heap of something special Long nights, short days Lazy Sunday mornings Rainy Tuesdays Thank God it's Fridays Writing on the wall Picking yourself up when you fall Excitement and wonder Standing tall Pride and pain Hurt feelings Dancing eyes Huge big grins Goosebumps, pins and needles On searing hot skin Cold hearts, skinned knees Listening Hearing things Saying what's on your mind Lying and imagining Eyes wide with wonder Tears running down cheeks Time to speak Wasted days Guts and glory Brand new stories on fresh blank pages The best of you Laughing like drains The subtle, the profane Drunken days sobering thoughts Big hearts new starts Expectations, failures and successes Asking questions but questioning answers Never forgetting to remember the past Whilst stepping into the future Have the presence of mind to be present It's in your hands Live it love it Walk with purpose into 2017 X

2017...What are you hoping for?
The echoes of my voice Leave you with a choice Which road do you walk down ?What is your fear? That you may drown While the ship sinks As the fireworks go off in your head Was that the last time As I left your bed With your arms outstretched As my words dripped like honey And your desires I read with one look Do we let our fingers forever reach But never touch Home where we both felt safe Where adolescent dreams became a reality As time ticked on and on we'd become a shadow of what we were supposed to be Your image forever in my head In the sentences swimming before my eyes As I walked down the platform of my former self And shed past hurts like fishes scales We replaced them with wings that summer of our content You picked up my smile I gave you your unpredictable We had the ability to scratch away the ambiguity To hold out our hands to receive Our destinies We made each other's skin sigh As we looked up at a cloudless sky My future and past collided in your presence So now as we sit shaking our heads As your scorpion tail flicks laden with venom My spiteful words freeze with a premonition I'd like to suture the ruptures Recapture the serendipity The alchemy That meant we had a future Not just a history

Present
I need to hold a fragment of you in my hand I will gently pick another piece of you Cherish it kiss it back to life That will be the hope that cements the join One by one piece by piece I will gently put you back together Every speck of glue will have smiles running through Every little crack will let in the light When you are whole again I will stand back and breathe in the view People will remark on your amazing power I will admire your strength For you are even more beautiful than yesterday

Broken
Put your hands inside my face Let your fingers trace The tears the mistakes Taste my smile Let it melt into yours The lines that creep across your cheek That's where it starts That's the heart of it Feel a part of this The flicker of recognition in your eyes The ignition Simplicity comes as an epiphany Thoughts questions dissipate As separately we come to the conclusion that the inclusion Isn't a far fetched illusion Or a delusionary tactic aimed to hijack the effects that affect the final outcome
