Red is the colour for me
when given choice
that is why blood does not faze me

Blue too is the colour for me
when given choice
that is why melancholy sits easily with me

Black as well a colour for me
when given choice
that is why I get on well with black folk.

First thing I do when
I get to work
is hide

Because a good employee
is hard to find

People in love
say many things
only lovers understand
Hearing voices
ringing bells
that time cannot command
People in love
go hand in hand
to course the Milky Way
Promises made
as joy unlocks
—forever and a day

In a breeze of timid whispers
and with wary downcast eyes
the secret world was opened
to where true depth of feeling lies.

With each step, stories were told
and a tapestry of intimacy unfolded.
to dare or not to dare
to care or not to care.
In the dog-days of romance,
those are the calls
that lovebirds must answer.
BLT Marriam Webster word of the day challenge: Dog days: a period of heat so intense, it saps the will

i am so disappointed in myself that instead of fixing my mistakes
i am going to sit and wallow in them instead

Perhaps, in the great scheme of things, even death is enough to elicit love in people who are shaken by grief.

The 'West Wind' here, is the strongest, most persistent,
the 'One' that permanently bends the trees 'Eastwards',
much more than any other point on the compass.
Bending toward the 'East', the 'Sun Rising' you could be forgiven
for thinking that the Tree's here, are bowing down toward the coming light, in their morning prayer.
