Bed a moon shadow,
image grey crescent.

Your legs stretched,
taut, sleeping, bent.

Ears pricked sharp
cars morn disguise.

Hesitate to disturb,
pink gaze, sunrise.

Blonde hair swirl,
fine yellow straw.

Inks tattoo black,
in charcoal raw.

Eyes blink open,
red thread grain.

Reigns my plain,
fair lady, Spain.

Pastel of flowers sprayed
leaves a backyard harbour.

Shards of sunlight enrich,
as renews sleeping ardour.

Crescendo of insects hum,
in crickets, gnats and flies.

Skies soft rainbow palette
Winter's doldrums disguise.

I hand you stray scribbles to
mull over, fade to history whence.

I trouble your lips in my bliss
long recalled, our mists sentence.

I capture parts, your shadow,
while lullied by airs soft purring.

I twirl in hairs dancing song,
treasure steps joined unerring.

I drink you by shapes whole
picture a face scarves behind.

I see your wicked grin flare
before dark void to unwind.

I recall, so hold part of you,
memories treasured by two.

I wait responses as come
leash seizes my mirth true.

Ducking and weaving
in and out of faces.
Appearing as a smile,
willowy as stride,
I reach,
you meld to spaces.

Casting a stray gaze
in crowded alleys.
I see in fragments,
photos bare,
they fade,
in sepia tones I rally.

In the whirl of people,
swish of coat wear.
Familiar hand passes,
jigsaw pieces,
hovering,
at a grey mist I stare.

Then your pen answers
cutouts joined into.
Again within my reach,
in memories,
connect,
my eyes fall upon you.

Waves buffet
flesh.

Silently,
buzzsaws hum,
sanding.

Grinding
my shadow,
currents.

A black sky,
hovers,
resolves
to grey image.

My gaps,
monochrome
dunes
exposed.

Damage
gouged,
recovery
sought.

Oceans are
not placated.

A relentless
surging,
advances
by moon.

Erodes,
weakening.

Repair, as if
throwing rocks
toward
the sea,
