Feelings and faces
Once attached
Gradually unlatch,
Time trundles onward.
...
I love you and you love me,
They're words that come casually.
Every phone call when we hang up,
Every kiss goodbye and saved ‘break-up'.
...
Somewhere lyes Meaning -
Just beyond my gaze.
Quietly it rests in the twilight
Under the coming night's gentle haze.
...
Slowly breathe in -
Intoxicate your lungs
Exhale, as if a thick Cuban cigar
...
Somewhere a moon rotates its white luminous form,
Drawing within the dark liquid the route for my leaving.
And so almost upon a shore, my body is gently withdrawn.
...
I am upon some sea afloat with no pre-planned route,
No destination, save for the stars I scatter from my hand.
No protection from the storm, save for sinews, skin and bone -
My rigging, sails and mast encased within me as one.
...
Above the water,
Before I leave the air
To disappear within
This viscose body.
...
