anxiety is another form of fear
that keeps me frozen

you took me
to a lovely garden
long ago,
and told me i was beautiful

you kissed my hair
just as the sun rose
illuminating
the intensity of our lost love

every inch
every crevice of me
loved you
missed you.

you were my infinite stars
cast on the midnight terrain
you lit up the world
just for me

a sweet scent of lavender
permeated through the garden
you said
it was the thousands of lilacs
blooming for me

you kissed my hair
leaving behind
a sweet scent
to caress me

(b.d.s.)

I feel luck stroking my face,
a soothing summer breeze descends,
I'm simmering slowly at the lowest heat.
From my window,
at the end of Tuesday,
I see today's daylight,
it's dying slowly,
the peaceful death of a fire filled day.
so relieved to rest and relax.
The skyline stands,
it's dazzling,
a realm of tree shaped silhouette shadows,
almost a different world out there.
belief that tranquil moments are captured,
More beautiful as the garden cools,
virtual silence,
apart from a slight buzz of humming background traffic,
a duet in almost perfect rhythm by train lines performing their dutiful roles.
The slight noise hovering in the atmosphere makes me aware that life exists out there,
and it's hiding in the perfect twilight.

on the forest floor
the dappled shadows did play
on that summer's day
