Drowsy water hangs suspended,
Reluctant to fall...

Today I caught my mind as it was
thinking of the past...

For ever in my heart you’ll dwell
a gentle presence, ever near...

Alone it has no purpose.
Crouched there under the lamp in wait...

Underneath the plastic smiles,
Designer labels and the miles...

Autumn’s palette
spreads out before me...

Muscles balk, daring to challenge
the mind that forces them on...

A single kiss
can tattoo a rainbow...

A hole it was, a rabbit hole,
So small and neat and round...

A walk,
Through lonely lanes in quiet solitude...

Once true and trusted, best of best
By love was brought to deep unrest...

Running through the streets of the soul
where leaves sleep in tousled heaps...
