Now. Then. Always.

Now

            I am looking forward

            but I have to look back ...

            and I realise that

Then

            some people never had

            a hint

            of the degree

            of affection that I’ll

Always

            have for them.

            It’s my gift of love

            to them

            that I’ll keep in my

            heart.

            Now.

            Then.

            Always.

Lines of history

There are lines

in my heart

that trace my history

with you.

Nobody but me knows

they are there.

I alone touch them

and

feel where our stories

met and became one.

Look ...

Look ...

Wars abound
factions increase,
but I've found some peace,
in your eyes.

Greed persists
divisions grow,
but I've found some kindness,
in your eyes.


Neighbours quarrel
couples fight,
but I've found much love,
in your eyes.


World so full
of distress and pain
but I've found the beauty -
in your eyes.

My truth

powerful emotion conquers knowledge

you are my truth

terrestrial heart loses it edge

Naomi for Ruth

planets fear the literary drought

desire ignites

erratic heart thumps and shouts

awaiting invite

established reason vanquished

without effort

lifelong sense is banished

to live in yourt

reaction to your presence

in mind or sight

drowning with concupiscence

desired outright
