I was never told I’d live to see the sunset
And the moonrise so close together.
A twilight smile flickers over you
Brighter than sunlight across water.
I find it so peculiar we’d choose
The same name for a daughter.

I’ll never understand how it happened;
Coming from my childhood slaughterhouse
Into your lovely little home.
With the way you listened to me there,
How could I ever shy from all you’ve shown?

Remember that tiny house, floating on the bay?
It would be enough for me!
Actually, I checked the market around here.
It would be more than I can afford.
What ever happened to our world?
What happened to our words?
What happened to the glint in her white pearls?

These weekends hold adventures
Unlike any I’ve ever known. Well-wishing the
Moonflower my world has finally grown 🌺

Set down worn passages penned at your dawn.
Somewhere under perpendicular starlight,
Adventure awaits your doppelgänger.
A pulverised youth; a parallel you.

Do you believe in Ghosts?

Silver lips insist on telling fleeting tales,
Resistant as they kiss.
Lustre fades into a fabled flutter,
Setting sail against this breeze we’re gifted.

Do you believe in Gods?

Carve a way across the waves you’re making.
Wake up to days of breaking blame.
Scream at the sky in a final flicker of fear.

Do you believe in Love?

Break a link in the longest line of loss.
Stay awake until we’re half past lust.

Do you believe in Luck? 🍀

I walk out by the water without your magic.
The bay is so still while you’re not here;
My mind could never match it.

A home is really just a house
Whenever we’re alone.
That lighthouse is not so aptly named
When its glow is never shown.

I sit where I had you in my lap for our interview
And take in the view as my eyes search for you.

You sleep in a sea of subtlety.
Your life sings to mine from afar.
You’ve shown me a world that is meant for me.
So, I’ll imbue the puzzle ahead of me.
I’ll dizzily walk into your lingering laughter.
It’s okay for you to swing at me, playfully.
I’ll just spin you around in the air. 🌀

I’m in your eternal orbit,
Facing your radiance as my fate.

My stasis is all because of you.
I’ll embrace my new favourite view.

An ancient terror arises in me.
Am I flying too close to the sun? ☀️

It matters not. I’ll let you burn me up this time.
It’s all I feel we should do when we find the one.

Five bodies move through this entity.
You, me and our humble trinity.

I cannot say if you’ll ever be free of those walls,
But I do know this was meant to be.

I’ll search the halls where you’re meant for me.

I can never quite put my finger on all these new
Colours that grow in the rainbows of you 🌈 🌈

In every way you unfold around me,
You are my new favourite flower.

If your glow could shower me in dancing petals
For any longer than our topaz kiss,

I’d fall into your web of wonder,
Forever lost in morning bliss.

It’s the pleating of you
That ever edges me,

As I’m pleading for you
And the marks on your skin.

Ugh! What is this game?

Soaring towards you, my fundamental force.
Waves never crashed as hard as I, into you.
Singing your soul-song into chambers of me.

This is one thing I never expected to change me.
You’ve shown me that a beaming stranger
Can truly be my angel.

Your wings, my chariot.

My world, your marionette.

Enchantress of the ever-north,
Summon me from slumber.
Pull me through your window into wonder.

You hold on to me for the first time.
I live this moment like it were our last.
I love our moon for bringing me to your path 🌙

I know how painful it all starts.

I know how numb you’ve become.

I know how lonely you can feel.

I know you struggle to trust anything or anyone.

I know you’re scared it’s permanent.

And because I also know how wonderful it is
Now being on the other side,
Having dreaded it’s not possible;
Every single day for as long as it takes,
Draw light from me. I’ll help you through!
Over horizons, you’re unfolding. Standing tall at
Noon in full bloom as you face me.
I’ll always be your Sunlight ☀️
As you are my Sunflower 🌻
