Oh October’s Hunter Moon
Largest on this night
Teach me what you know
The universe is fast
Yet nowhere feels like home

I saw you rise
Like a setting sun
White and yellow
As the night begun

I force to break our gaze
But wisdom’s in your presence
With a calming of my soul
I long to linger in your essence

I love you at your fullest
I love you when you’re barely found
I know you’re always there
Powerful,
Profound

I never thought much of angels before today
Then I saw moon-light in the light of day
And the majesty on borrowed wings
Of piercing white
More than just the sense of sight
Bowed in prayer among the still
Is this to believe in the supernatural?

He came to her despite it all, with embers clinging to candescent soul
Fighting blackened ash of times untold
Eyes intense, her gaze they hold
Darkness dims a sunless cold
But your hands are as warm as hope when spring is close
Destructive years blown away in muted winds of pain
The palpable breath of night draws in and out and near
Syrup dipped fate sweetly gravitates you here

Taking up my time
Your face fills my mind
You know that feeling when your young
When a first love interest is sprung
I think they call it butterflies
I'm in a constant state of anxiety
Or is it excitement
I can't tell, but there's no need for enticement
I don't want to work or eat
I can't sit and read or watch the Tv
It all seems so pointless to me
I prefer to while the time away
As I lay
With thoughts that you're also thinking of me while I think of you
You see it's not a blessing because I can't function right
But it can't be a curse because I see you in  sight
I'm addicted to the adrenaline that fills my chest
Pounding through my body even when I rest
Such a bizarre concoction
To uncommon not to drink the toxin
Why bother to read the caution
I enjoy that unknowing state
The lack of control over fate

I don't care that she's known you long before I
You'll never do with her what you did with me that night.
We kept the fire roaring despite the outside rain
Even after parting, I was left a ball of flames

The lake in your eyes
As mute as the swan
As the sun dies
Darkness dances the rumba with the light
Day surrenders
Trees tell stories of thorns through your feet
Roots are severed
You’re lost
Among the forest and the lake

Come
Lay with me
Look at the moon
Silvery
With one leg under the covers
She still pulls the sea
And you closer to me

Night had fallen for hours, the moon fell from the sky
She closed her eyes from darkness, and pictured you in her mind
Touching the softness of her torso, she watched you stroke her silhouette
She felt your hands like freedom, as skin on skin connect
Familiar textures at cosmic heights, light luminous spheres, held together by their own gravity
On this night of promised melodies, scattering music notes like stars,
that twinkle in time to beating hearts,
She let galaxies fill her mind, as comets spark and lips embark
She opened her eyes and caught your falling heart

The night

Passed by before I had chance
To close my eyes

Darkness fell in to thoughts
Wondering alone

Soaked up quickly by the light
Of day

I pray, when it comes around again
My mind will have less to say

She was the ocean
Humming enchanting song
Temperamental
Often wrong

He was the wind
Gentle but strong
Effortlessly Kissing her
As the day is long

She complained of her flaws and all that had gone
He told her he loved her all along
She dismissed his words
He didn't understand her rage
He was flawless on every new page
You don't have rips or breaks nor tone
You are the wind so strong and bold

My love you misread what you are told
I'm only strong when you are mad
I'm only bold when you're sad
My strength comes from you
I'll protect you from your storm
I'll hold you close and whisper your name
Until you feel safe in my arms once again
When you are calm and glistening bright
I'll tell you it's all going to be alright
I'll never tire of your changing moods
For I am the wind it's all I allude
I'll tell you I love you till the wind is no more
And the ocean has dried up revealing the floor

There she stood
In darkness
By the window of an upstairs room
Her silk robe slid from her shoulders
Shadowed her lines
And fell silently to the floor

There she stood
Bare
The faint moonlight illuminating
The milkiness of her protruding *******
Her slender curves and beating chest

There you go, moving in the wind
I see you, under the Red Kite's wings
I feel your shadow, I hear you sing

There you are, among constellations of the open sky
In eye contact of passers by
Even in the tears I cry

I watch you, in the rug of fallen leaves
You're there, even when I don't believe
You hold me when I find release

I feel you, in the presence of the peeling bark
In the starkness of the lonely dark
Dear Spirit, you're in my heart

Exhilarated in the lightness of adoration
Exiting the gallery, they paused
Looking out across the Christmas market
Closing their eyes, discussing the senses
Their hands desperate to touch

I can't stop writing poems
Because I can't stop thinking of you
Poetry comes easy
when words and feelings are true
Like the sun does rise each day
and the birds do sing their tune
The words come fast and fluent
Just as night does bring its moon
There may be no rhyme or reason
To why my mind is stuck on you
But nature has a funny way
of knowing what is true

I can compare you to this February day
It’s mild, it’s grey
But thoughts of you brighten the way
The sky is low, hazy off white
Despite lack of sun it’s really quite bright
You can barely make out the shape of a cloud
As the canvas sits proud, not loud
Calm and there
A slight dazzling glare
Quietly unassuming but certainly all-consuming
I see your movement in the trees, your persona in the breeze
I long for stillness in my dreams
Where I often play these themes and scenes
Where what may seem extreme is simply being
Minds connecting, conversations reflecting
Memories collecting
Passions injecting

Often at this hour, when the night is thick and deep
And the moonlight peers atop the sky,
Does my mind, heart and body feel most alive,
Most connected to the pulse of night,
Rhythmic time goes ever by
Through throbbing veins with hope for life
Envisioned as a tangible thing,
imagine string
connects all beings
All with soul and core
All with love and hope

I didn’t look at you enough today
But I can’t live with regret
I tell you all my secrets
Though it’s always over text
Afraid of vulnerability, words escape my tongue
If you were inside my head, you’d see you turn me on
You send the sweetest pictures
I could look at them all day
I gaze in to your eyes
They have so much more to say

I fly among the Milky Way
When you play
Transcending through skies
Journeys of daylight blues and night stars
Melodic moments of mind altering components
I’m stilled and cocooned seeing mountain tops and the silver moon
The rise of the tune meets a slight thud of the key
That combination really does something to me
Transporting, place and time where imagination thrives
Where adrenaline topped peaks meets the calm of golden beach
And you reach beyond belief
To a language I could never speak
That touches my soul deep
Floods my body with cleansing seas
Thoughts wondering what those brown eyes see

I want to feel freedom
But my hearts ******* in you

Sounds unravel
The chugging of a steam train
Building momentum
Till it’s no longer chugging
But gliding,
Flying
Freedom explodes in controlled contradiction
Keeping me stoked,
Alive
Transcending cosmic pathways via my veins
To every place I’ve ever longed to see
Every thing I’ve never hoped to be
On this enlightening ride
Sounds, places, people, planets collide
An impassioned ensemble, comets divide
The Earth makes love and peace with celestial life
We’re all connected, ever combined
A universal tribe

Contradiction comes with my desire
I ponder possibilities
Of ill fated fiction
Of fake feelings
My heart is tied too tight
Loosened to the steady beat of truth
Feels right
When you stroked my hair
When your past made me weep
When the depth of your kiss

The birds are singing
Welcoming me home
Greeted with sincerity
In a smile
With truth
I missed tactility
Craved authenticity
Mutual connections  
Gentle reciprocation
Excitement wears rapidly
Grasses are not luscious all year
Lessons are not always learned
Ego seeks worth
In the wrong place
At the right time

Life comes
It falls at your feet
You came
You fell at my feet
With smoothed pebbles
And calm confusion
With the familiar taste
Of unfamiliarity
With one leg out of the covers
Playing guitar hips
With soft lips
We conversed in silence

Night fell, silent
She stared out of the window to darkness
He placed his hands on the roundness of her shoulders, curling his fingers to the curve
Inhaling, she rose at the slight embrace
No words spoken
So much said
In that moment

He turned her, in a contradiction of firmness and uncertainty
As she turned to face him
Moonlight reflecting from his eyes, back to hers
She would not break his gaze
Under his shirt, she traced his skin from chest to hips
Ensuring every part of her palm was pressed with flesh
In sync, feeling every breath

I could lay right here, right now
Gaze at your picture and touch myself
I could lose reality and lose time
As I lay here and close my eyes
Seeing my hand in yours and your hand in mine
Entwined
I'd open my eyes
It’s all in my mind

Somewhere, someone is admiring all of the things that you feel insecure about

Wouldn’t we all like a cocktail of drugs when things get tough
To slip in to the sweetest sleep and not wake up
Wouldn’t that be nice, to sacrifice a gift of life for a forever peace... until next time
Wouldn’t all the tough challenges get taken away to never see the light of day
Wouldn’t you kick yourself in the head for all the things you can’t do when you’re dead

Coloured flowers on your skin
Bird silhouettes fly over me
The tarmac is warm
I’d drive forever
I remember your kiss
But be satisfied with shadows

I like
Seeing the trees
The greens change
In the sun
And the sky
Feeling nature
Being with you

In you
I’m finding freedom

I could make excuses
Defend my ways
But
I enjoyed the virtual embrace
Your voice
Your face
I was feeling displaced
In a state of haste
I won't deflect the pace

I pictured your hands on my body
And my body in your hands
I longed for foreign lands
Where the seashore lapped the sands
Entwined like our hands
Sea and setting sun become one
Without dusk, dawn would never come
And the song birds wouldn’t have sung

The mattress caresses curves
The clouds have cleared
Warmth and light flood bare skin through the window
Feeling these feelings in this moment
You trespass on to my land of thoughts
And I feel more

Every unique cloud formation that takes your eyes skyward and your imagination beyond

Every pink-orange fire-sky of tomorrows  promises that fires the pit of your tummy as glowing embers dance on your heart

Every poem and every feeling that stirs emotion and takes me to you
With melancholic lyrics and minor keys

Every grey day with droplets of rain distorting the view from the window
Enticing visceral vision where your eyes glisten

See, when that first line picks up speed and carries rhythm
Rises off of the page and off of your tongue
When there’s no rhyme but a beat
You feel it in your chest
Everything lifts, everything feels light or heavy
Where words conjure scenes in imagery
There is hope and satisfaction
And release

I love the essence of a gentle heart
Soft voice of golden harp
- Sacred stars

The night does dare to seek
My heartbeat where you sleep
- The dawn slow arising

The day is hidden well
Behind the curtain of the autumn
- I can't shake this lovers spell
