let love flow between us
it’s in the stares
unveiling all the desire
let the unspoken words fall on the silent echoes
it’s in between blinks
loving you inextinguishably
let flushed cheeks unsettle
it’s the rosy glow
giving away the secret réciproque
Ah!
You are the long black coffee I so savoured in the morning.
Ah!
You are the masterpiece for my artistic appetite.
Ah!
You are the calamine lotion for my mosquito bites.
Ah!
You are the cool breeaze before a storm on a scorching summer day.
Ah!
You are the mindfulness meditation for my anxiety.
Ah!
You are the healing music to my wayward soul.
I have learned that nectar is food for
bees, hummingbirds and butterflies
they are attracted to
the colours of the outer appearance
and the scent it gives out
they all show affection
however
only bees are reliant on it
hummingbirds and butterflies
are open to other attractions
at the first flecks of daybreak
the sacred incense is a burning swirl
the lock and key ceremony is underway
in the company of subtropical rain
she is a winter baby
who wasn’t born in
June, July or August
her dream of a white Christmas
never happens here
she survives heatwaves
escapes bushfires
while he flees from the snow
gets cosy by a fire place
they look at the same world
in reversal
day and night
in perfect cycle
they cheated time
so did fickle love
You made me from your visions and dreams
before you knew me
I was only an optical illusion
I came like a dandelion
rootless and forever wandering
home was never a destination
Then we laid eyes on each other
my fragmentation jigsawed into your reality
your brokenness assembled into my habitation
When the music starts
let’s waltz away to
our life
our home
in absolute
abandonment
You are enthroned in my suite
I am your devoted servant
You walk all over me
I bow before Your Majesty
You are my Queen
I serve you in high esteem
Have you ever
Have you ever wanted someone so much
It crippled your mind
Have you ever needed someone so much
It burned you alive
You spoke my heart out in my ear
So I am under no illusion, delusion, of this resolution
There are ripples, a volcano, firecrackers, hot springs in my heart
I lay face down to keep them simmering, stewing, supressing
Sulphurous fumes bubbling up hot springs
Pressure cooker letting out scorching steam
Our giggles channeling burning needs
living in the gloomy dullness of life
I saw the piercing light
like the mobile phone notification flashing at night
walking through this unfamiliar tunnel
seeker of the illumination
stretch my arms to the walls
guiding my path in the pitch black
my fingers interpreting the rough fossils on the walls
they speak despair, torment, light and beauty
frame by frame these engraving paintings of art
I drench in all the emotions on offer
without sight
my kinesthetic fingers
reading them in wondrous
you are the light drawn me to the walk
your life I have experienced
in this tunnel of art
when I finally reach you
I will be undone, done and
completed!
