Clouds gathered above

Movement back into winter

Spring’s blossoms swaying

 

Waterhen clucking

Seagulls flying in the sky

The canal flowing

 

Spring’s fight evolving

My inner realms revolving

Around shape of things

Practise me

Like a tired flame

Whisper slow

In my ears

I am drunken on the speech

All that we once were

 

Moments gone

Take me to the source

Of magic

My appeal

A winding staircase leading

To where I can shout

 

There are words

Definitions thrown

Like cardboard

To beggars

We sleep on them like white sheet

Gathering the ink

I was lost

In tempests I whirled

Agony

Defining

Stretch of imagination

Beyond all borders

 

Your blue heart

Revival of love

Enchanted

Melodies

Held in infinite embrace

I rise to your call

 

Bosom beats

To rhythm of soul

The notes set

In the air

My breath is for lung to pair

Within unity

Enchant me

With love’s memories

They will fight

Bosom tight

Enshrined within the darkness

From bouts of duress

 

Fly me kite

Bring about the light

Riddle me

Night’s features

Let love save us from creatures

Own mind’s invention

 

Attention

Focus of intent

The days spent

Weaving thoughts

Tight little forget me knots

Bosom their garden

Close your eyes

Let the darkness seep

Within lids

World now skids

Into proportions of black

They spell bleak the lack

 

Inhale white

Let it feed senses

Relentless

Stark pursuit

Of imaginary soot

Cleansing the dark chest

 

Feel the light

Invading the night

Keep it soft

Within chest

Let it quiet all unrest

Balance heart in rest

Scent of summertime

Scent of summertime

Run along

The pathways stretch out

Conjoining

Pink flowers

They border the green hedges

Where axe drove the wedges

 

Clear cutting

Woodcutters at work

Loosen limbs

Off the trees

Swaying under springtime breeze

They offer blossoms

 

I inhale

Scent of summertime

Hidden deep

In the grass

When the springtime bloom will pass

Uncover morrows

The city sprawls

Its engines now spent

Loose hurdles

Blood curdles

Thoughts of morrows’ place to rent

The kites within chest

 

The flurry

Birds within the skies

Welcoming

Springtime gait

Treetops where the flowers wait

The fall in summer

 

Take a chance

Open the chimneys

The dust piled

Cleansed with broom

Learn to spell the miracles

Burning within breath

Catch my breath

It escapes in lakes

As I whirl

Remember!

Essence of life is hidden

Between tree and bark

 

Remind me

Of jewels in chest

Studded pearls

Hold moonshine

Revelry began with wine

Ending in my salt

 

Fill me words

My head is tired

Lay them down

Near bosom

Fly me to castles in sky

My feet are weary

The garden silent

The rose bush alit by thorns

Featured stems thorn birds

 

Wisteria clung

Otherworldly shapes of grapes

Under silver moon

 

Peace within our hearts

Moonlight rising in our souls

In love we gathered

Sun beyond winter

Spring’s magic in flowers’ touch

Waterhen that clucks

 

Branches in the stream

Tug of war of wooden limbs

Movement of water

 

The breath suspended

Particles alit in skies

The river racing
