My heart is just a body part
That pumps my blood around
So how come when I see you
It starts to pound and pound?

The sound of love is deafening
It booms and bumps about
A smile becomes a crazy grin
All logic just flies out

You eyes fix on mine
Your hand strokes me calm
Your laughter lifts my spirits
And soothes me like a balm

And when you read out poems
With glee and childish pleasure
The love that drives my blood around
Is impossible to measure

Just kiss me
Please

Sitting at the river, watching, feeling, listening
The wind is gradually rising
Little egret wading
Heron on high alert
Arrows of ducks
Geese in straight lines
A pair of turtle doves perch together, nearby
I wish you were here
Perched with me
Holding hands
Silently Sharing

Destiny, no choice, I must go on
Imminence, if not now, then when

I’m dreaming
Of a white page
To write on
A white canvas
To paint over
A white sheet
To lie on
A snow scene
That spreads
For miles
White stars
Of milky way
Will make my day
The quietness
Of whiteness
That drowns out
The festive noise
That makes me freeze
Like white ice

black moods bind me
raw nerve endings
which light exposes
with a flash of recognition
caught by your gaze
exposed like a photo
in a darkroom
pitch black deepens
in this echo chamber
pulsing with heart beats
a place where fear resides
waiting for light to return
