words preached of two parallel worlds
one created of an original half
deities from above create one universal, with separate bodies
human nature craves desire and to be cherished
infants cry out for the care of a mother
children tease and chase the other gender without purpose
from our creation, we long someone to be paired with
without reason, we are left to discover encouragement
and reason for our actions
first kiss
butterflies flutter
cheeks flush
pre-adulthood beings overreact to one longing stare
hoping and gossiping of its purpose
human nature desires to be loved
stupidity results in misguided and unknown meaning of love
left alone to interpret vastness of this word "love"
definition is set in stone
for its your other half
another heart that beats to find the matching rhythmic pattern
two bodies, one soul
and you my dear, are extraordinary
smiles spread uncontrollably
dimples appear, and cheeks flush once more
kisses and hugs erupt in chaotic nerves quivering
this, my darling, is our definition
defining our need to express and discover
our shared soul

The wind is howling,
The sea is black

The seagulls flying,
I'll not go back

My tears are falling,
I mustn't break

I'm fastly paying,
For my mistake

I cannot correct my deeds gone wrong,
For I am certainly not that strong

Changing the world may be almost impossible
Changing the nation may take a lifetime
Changing your community may take a long time
Changing yourself won't happen over night
But changing anything for the better is worthwhile

He has no dreams, she said,
No pain passed,
No hope lost.

There are no fires in his heart,
No longing,
No desire.

He feels no shame* she said,
Not now,
Not ever


He is my guilt, she said,
*Not lover
Not in love.

Jade iris.
Black waves.
  Red velvet.
   Sweet lies.
     All mine.

Drift off to sleep my dear
The moon and the stars are here
I hold your hands clenched tight
Ours is this radiant midnight.
I embrace the ocean in your eyes
Running my fingers through your hair
You hear the soft flowing waves?
See the distant glimmering ocean
Look up into my starlit eyes
You smile and then I smile
Drift off to sleep my dear
While you hold me and explore my eyes.
the word pursue
is such a peculiar word
to use to describe the role of
a male in a relationship

It suggests the woman
is running away
and doesn't wish
to be caught

I understand the concept of
playing hard to get
but at some point the chase usually ends
and both people surrender

*but you've never stopped running
Here I belong
amongst the rugged greys and guillemots
my heart in league with the furious sea
as it lashes the desolate shore.

Cries, mournful in their lament
soar through smothered skies
bearing tales of wrecks and lost lobster pots
empty now of precious cargo
ghostly on the ocean floor.

Salt air swirls and dips above the churning foam,
bringing stinging cold to ruddy cheeks and numbed hands.
A distant bell chimes as tides caress barnacled bows
lost at once within the swirling mists
that lay their sheen upon the dusk.
Inspired by a beach walk, for me beaches are always at their best in bad weather.
