seconds in a day
yet
it took just
three of them
to make mine
one for every word you said,
“I love you.”

4?
4?
And others?
Wonder of the glistening ripples as the waters hush gently.
And these ones?
With ink webbed nets capture a reflection in words to share.
And you?
I cower mostly to try.
Is a fisherman a fisherman if he never caught a fish, or is a poet a poet if he's never contributed a real poem?
Perhaps in his heart.

Words not needed
Even to my ignorant ears
I don't need a translator to understand another's laughter and tears

it served us well
Let's retire to bed
until
we retire the bed

Baby Rain
I babysat the rain
Watched over it all day long
The sky didn't come to collect it
Until the early morn

I was fine with that and didn't mind,
But I had to draw the line
When the following night I was asked if I might
Look after the Sun by its mother Dawn

— The End —
