On moonburnt bays
He sat with his very shadow.
The illuminating light crept
And pierced him deep
And the shadow he wasβ€”
was a ghost within.
So often he attempts
to change words
he has said.
Words that he says later
do not mean
what they convey

There will never be
enough blotters, or erasers
or black markers to cover all
that he would amend
or alter if possible

A secret disclosed
once redacted
becomes evidence
that he desires his wordsΒ Β 
to remain unconfirmed

A secret is a secret
only if concealed,
totally hidden
and never unearthed

Redaction is an action
to revoke or nullify
words and actions that
may or may not be undoable
Another word of the day poem.
Brief mountain summers
Come and go like humming birds
That hover and dart
He stretched out his hand
& Caught Me.
That's how I fell into the abyss.
Love is a double-edged sword. Wield it well.
Unfolding thoughts in peace of natures
delight.

Sparkles all over where flowers grow
wondrous miracles smelling of sweet
perfume.

A sigh in the night by the ocean bright
reflection of blessed moon kissing
waves with light.

No wonder we are astounded by life's
sweetness, there's nothing that comes
around twice.

Blissful nights collapse in sweet shadows
standing still a moment before softly
disappearing in the quiet misty
dawn.

A new beginning starts another day
caressed by the warmth of sunlight
upon the window pane.

the iron gate sings of roses,
water and moon tremble and sigh,

the night breathes in its water colours,
shadowy and whimsical like a bird of
dark air,

its eye-sockets the moon-world
of dream,

its clouds the stream-golds of
the glistening, eventide moon.
no more poems now until saturday, but bizarrely my husband messaged me a poem today - the only one he's written in the last 30 odd years and he's said i can post it. (i'm so in love with his poem right now) - was it about me? you'll have to wait to find out :))) hahaha
this is one of those
theatrical, midnight breakdowns
seen by the markers on my walls
and the cobwebs in the ceiling;
and there i was,
spilling my emotions β€”
like fragments of a dying star,
all over the place.

lightyears away,
some stars explode immaculately.

right here in my room,
the explosion
isn’t as beautiful;
it just hurts,
and hurts,
and hurts.
