For the day's rain starving in the clouds;
This time, it needs your weeping.
When coming...

DIVINE MAGNETISMDIVINE MAGNETISM
There’s an attraction, North to South
Embracing the original source of love
And almost a sweet taste in the mouth
Whether from each other, or above

Talk A Little Bit Nerdy Star Wars TributeTalk a little bit nerdy just for me,
let’s watch ‘Star Wars’ all night long;
I’ll be your Rebel princess faithfully;

FALLING IN LOVEFALLING IN LOVE
That lingering punch felt deep inside
Not so much a slip but a sudden drop
It’s like a helter-skelter fairground ride
When in love, the heart does a flip-flop
Almost scary but causing a wide smile

To which image should we cling
Line of inquiry:
“We have been here a thousand times before
Memory erased, each time we begin anew

A Lonely StrollerFebruary wasn't all wind and snow,
around the corner the dogwood tree
has bloomed before the Crack willow!
Hummingbirds start warbling again,

Looking outside, one feels...

Without HandlebarsCome out, come out, taste the bouquet!
Flowers smell better tossed with stars;
Tonight the fairies will come out to play;
Riding the sky without handlebars
the Fey’s toadstools delicately ring;
Their vibrato hanging within bell jars;
As you gaze...

MORE THAN EPHEMERAMORE THAN EPHEMERA
A dusty attic one must reorganise
Unlabelled boxes trying to hide
There will be at least one surprise
A diary and postcard tucked inside
A letter from a mother at the end
Recalling how the father had cried

At first glance, we are a single entity
On our slowly spinning planet home
Yet with a subtlety in such quantity

BABELBABEL
It was a tower, built to avoid a second flood
Erected in Babylonia, that Nimrod planned
Using bricks made from sun-hardened mud
It was to deny the power of God’s own hand
But to a proud people it made...

Silence fears and replace the shadows with faith,
Whisper music through me, songs I can embrace.
