I missed your birthday this year
It slipped my mind
It was that simple
You are no longer my priority
in many ways
Missing your birthday
is a fraction of
the final letting go

She
Smiles
Semi teases
Some year some day
Still she will wait here
Shall I quit searching for love

In darkness, I long for the light
In chaos, I long for the peace
In despair, I long for the angel’s wings

September Spring
In Septembers
we celebrated our union
we grieved our loss
we broke our covenant
September
such significance
It was all too overwhelming
for a Spring
of self discovery
Thoughts on Old Photos VI
Goodbye my love
I leave for no greener pasture
Keep my frozen gaze under lock and key

Thoughts on Old Photos V
She is much sadder than you ever think.
Her world fades so far away from your reality.
She hides deeper within to keep your world in a constant warm glow.

Honey Ant Dreaming
Dreamtime
in the land of the dry cracked desert
Sky Father gave honey ants for hunger
Women’s strong hands
dug deep into the red soil
met with abundance of bush tucker
Their delicate fingers
harvested the honey sac
gathered them on their coolamons
then gently
freed them to collect more honey
Such cycle of life
a gift from creator God
“Honey ants are a sweet bush food for the aboriginal people. When hunting for honey ants care is taken not to kill or hurt them (or not get bitten either!) so that they can go on and collect more honey. The sac on the back of the honey ant is pure natural honey. “
Aboriginal Painting by April Campbell, Ti Tree Anmatyerre
Social Contemplation
A collaboration with Benjamin Grossman
In rainy March
I long for a
philosophical whisper over tea
The smell of possibility permeating
Your gaze an infusion of heaven
Barely we know where we are
Yet we know where we’re going
With some echo of curiosity
On a bed of uncertainty
I inhale your essence
Drink in your presence
Only we temper the inner warmth
Steeped in each other
Rain is threading through each whisper
Tea left unrequited and cold
In the company of drizzling rain
Fellow Blogs
You spoke the words yet to form.
You wrote the chapters yet to fruition.
You told the story yet to begin.
I wonder when you read mine,
would you feel the same?
I blushed sometimes,
when my inner most secrets
spilled on pages.
I panted at times,
when my deepest desire
naked before my eyes.
I screamed once in a while,
when shock waves
blanketed my nerves.
I wonder when you peeped at mine,
would you let out a cry?
I giggled at the titles.
I chuckled at the memes.
I laughed hard at the potent humour.
I wonder when you stopped by mine,
would you suffer the same amusement?

She faced the light
When all shades failed her
Her prayers went out the bars
They never came back void
