Poetry – Sunrise

blink slowly

not quite awake

the sun peaks

over the horizon

good morning 

she whispers

my smile broadens

eyelids droop

snuggle deeper

under my duvet

drift back

into slumber

thinking of you.

Poetry – Raindrops

a long awaited rain

trickles down

my forehead

water puddles

around my feet

scent of soil

and flowers

fills my senses

I close my eyes

sit down next to you

enjoying the rain

in that special place

inside my mind

where only you & I

can go together

it’s calm

for a moment…

Poetry – you you you

I listened while 

she gently explained

the knowledge

of the sea…

you will become

much happier

when you realize

that if it is

not said to you

or given to you

it is not for you

you you you

ripple ripple ripple

slosh slosh slosh

the waters 

always know 

best best best

Poetry – the rain

biking home

from work today

I thought

what a privilege 

to feel the rain

on my cheeks

the wind

billowing

my trousers

fresh air

in my lungs…

doesn’t matter

what you say

it felt great

and life is good.

Poetry – my fingers…

my fingers

motionless

barely touching

the keys

my body tingles

mind relaxes

breath slows 

the world 

around me

becomes fuzzy

and warm

it’s at that moment

that exact moment

just before

it begins…

Poetry – words

there are times

that i just 

fall in love

with the words

as they trickle down

from the sky 

onto my forehead

cheeks and chest

as i passively delight

in the rippling touch

of every vowel

and consonant.
