a lone figure
on a solitary beach.
me, pebbles, water and I.

laid myself bare
take me, with mercy
do not destroy me!

Good morning, he said
this beautiful day,
here is breakfast in bed
and here is where I want you to stay....

You see this is the first day
of a wonderful life for you and me
you are my angel, my bright shining star
but this day your mine, come what may...

What followed was magic and he held her heart
as he stroke her love, till the darkness bright
what followed next brought tears to her eyes
she had never known pure happiness like that before...

He meant every word, every action too
as he picked her up and made her... his
delight flashed across her face
the electricity that was felt moved their souls...

One beautiful day turned into many more
with lots of good mornings
this beautiful day, telling her over and over
here is where I want you to stay...

I am painting a mural with my words,
Cameos, sublime, Turquoise,
line my blue bell filled path
To Luminescence

Turn me over like your favourite novel.
Run your fingers along my spine.
Bite your lip at your favourite parts
Then read between my lines.

There was a time
I sat alone

empty heart
broken soul

I spoke not
for words escaped me

my fingers trembled
bones all aching

I thought it better
for no one to know

I wanted to leave
but had no where to go
