Us

First published on 11 April 2019, a collaboration with Mike Ennenbach

 

let’s shuffle the playlist
Eat kale chips and eggplant wedge dipped in chilly jam

Let’s waltz away in our fave band T-shirts
misted in aromatic oil

Let’s pillow fight and giggle
till our tummy muscles grow

Chase each other
Until we fall in a pile
Laughing on the floor
Cheeks sore from smiling

The thunder of our hearts
Drowns out the music
Gazing lovingly at each other
Until you tickle me some more

Let’s pull down the blinds
Dim the world outside

Let our love twinkle
Stardust falling on us
Echoing the illumination within us

Let us My Love
Let us create the most glorious night sky
All in this place we call
Home

Let’s close the door
And embrace
My love
Shut the world out
And fall into
Our sanctuary in
Everlasting bliss

Yes
Let’s close the door
And embrace
My darling
Falling into
Our sanctuary in
Love forever more

 

Flyaway love

set me free
let me wander off
wherever I go
I carry your gracious heart

I don’t know
if you will settle for
the next best
while I am away
to cure my heart

we have no way of knowing
except when dreams come
tears thread our hearts
two broken
too far away

He rules, for her

His razor sharp mind
misread
misjudged
misunderstood

His diamond eyes
piercing
penetrating
precisioning

Rocks and pebbles
scattering about
piling up shaky foundation
trying to overturn him

False affection and shady lovers
pointing their fingers at him
accusing his integrity
attempting to cast him down

And yet
he rules
the moment he lays eyes on her
his rightful queen
his soul seeks solace
in her tranquility

More

I love you so much now.
I want to love you more
in ten years time.
Help me to fulfill that!

Hornet’s surprise

He made her cry
like an orange peel
stung her eyes

He made her numb
like a tangy grapefruit
bittered her tongue

He made her smile
like a ripen orangelo
surprised her lips
with a swell of affection

Missing you

It is harder to get warm
when you are not near
near enough to my heart
it still skips a beat
the missing one must make its way
to play on your heartstrings
like a bird without a song
muffled to my ears
tastes like thinner
illusionises my painting
at dusk
it is all too grey
rain stops by
to keep me awake

Oneness

Let us fall into each other’s eyes
swim as one
from the tip of the bay
to the deepest heartbeat

In God’s presence
let us burn into sublime beauty
my name inked in your skin
your blood flows in my arteries

 

 

Home

We are such homebodys
the couch is our sanctuary
where the shapes of us
sinking into
the wings of a butterfly
gives life to our dream

There is no more safer space
than the span of us
where body temperature
is within reach
our flesh
is in contact
each of our worlds
knitted into one
bright colourful
landscape of
love

Finally
we are home at ease
in one breath
one flesh
one uniting
force of life

Home

It feels like home
seeing the Chinese arts
hung on the walls;
cooking in a cosy mess
where everything is within reach;
talking, joking, laughing,
doing life together effortlessly;
making every minute
the illustration
of the next
for the rest of today
and all the tomorrows to come.

It feels like home
where my heart rests upon
the solace of your love.

Gangster and spy

A collaboration with Mike Ennenbach

hardly your everyday couple
the gangster and the spy
violent outlook hides
the teddy bear innocence
sweet aura concedes
a sinister cold heart

the rain fell dirty water from dirty clouds
landed with disinterest on his bald head
as he watched her slide into
the oversized chair with sinuous grace

the retold story of
beauty and the beast
in reverse
the modern Vito and Olga
sipping coffee latte
in the middle of a land
once flowing with milk and honey
cowboys, cattle and cotton farms
