Cry
I came upon a child of God
Asked her where you going
She said my words were beautiful
But they were Leonard Cohen's

She passed a summer by me
Sad songs to scorch and sting
When the days grew older
She spread her angel wings

I watched for her as the white-tailed eagle
Looks down at the sea
Searched the heather, walked among the mountain flowers
Trod the holloways for hours
But she had flown from me

The raven and the hooded crow
Silent passed me by
Go, go, let her go
I heard the buzzard cry

We drowned here today...

Sluiced along curious Holloways papered in shell.

We knew few colours by name,
Yet saw how they merged, circled, embraced,
to sweet-talk the senses to parley.

Last night the first Redwings sipped the late air
with the high-muffled chatter of Fieldfares passing.

Morning came garnished in far borrowed glories.

The place where we wonder to drown.
"Redwings sipped..."..the contact call of Redwings, is often written as  "Tseep"
"Wonder to drown" as opposed to "Wander to drown" seemed to lend more space to thought!
Big Ones!

As my loves' love slowly ebbs away
I turn from the impending storm

I face the warmth,
Magical, dreamy, days swiftly unfold
Unbound with energy, laughter and life that is other worldly

She is the dearest of those I have loved the best.
It's really no surprise, we've been playing since we were free
I watch as she plunges into my dreams
At last, long last, I finally 'smell the sea and feel the sky'

She surfaces, smiles, and is simply glorious
Truly beautiful, glistening in the summer sun
We swim and the wind sings of lust and...love

We touch and melt achingly together
It's brief, too brief.
I feel no sorrow, as I seek no pain
I selfishly desire we do this again, and again

Bohemia lies by the sea, I now long for the other me.

Later. We walk the Elysian fields exploring and wondering
We talk of Doric, Ionic and endless thoughts
We dream of impossible outcomes
We venture down the holloways and the wondrous trees ask, is it love or...lust?

Now nothing is left.

Some faded berry stains and a crepuscular sunset
remind me of those most magical days in our natural environment
The glorious echo washes endlessly round my mind sweeping all the storms away

I now know those precious moments will have to last forever

I feel the breeze
I turn to face the inevitable storm

— The End —
