It's easy to wound when your pain is on show
Defend with revenge and hurt with what you know...

If you should dare to set my love alight
Can you be sure to handle a hot blaze...

The terrible tragedy of telling the truth
The love that's lost when lips are loose...

Laying foetal in the shadows
Defensive and victimised...

I inhaled sharply
Flinched internally...

Love is territorial
And jealousy signals the threat...

**English Sonnet**
When our colliding stars regale the moon...

I
Know you...

Joy
happy, content...

You kiss with universal rays
Warming my skin, I'm hushed as I lay...

Glancing
Chancing...

Reflect I beg on how I used to swoon
On your sweet words that held me far aloft...
