stop for a moment
rest deep in that hidden place
let me surround you

it pours like warm rain
oblivion and smiles
looking from outside

deep inside...a calm
crazy...endless...inside-out
stars shine through my skin

indigo so clear
falling deep behind my eyes
endless resonance

a relentless wind
tenuous reality
blows in through the door

hold me and stop me
gather the stars with your teeth
galaxies entwined

no, not a haiku
just trying to be aware
of every minute...........
............................................

every movement is a prayer
every breath a reason
joy is quiet in the air
flowing with the seasons

leave me to my thoughts
nothing left to give tonight
nothing left to write

falling so quickly
our discarded impressions
tangled on the floor

..........................................
an awareness
a snapshot
moment
glimpse
breath
blink
beat
be

from a few nights ago
been very unsettled lately
............................................

last night, in my arms
darkness whispered me to sleep
weave my breath with dreams

so slowly I breathe
leaving the sky like the sun
beauty in the void

waiting in the centre
a vast and endless wander
look! no boundaries!

yes, I know this place
as familiar as your skin
quietly I fall
.................................................
putting my words here
seems like a selfish gesture
indulging too much
to what end?

push it down through me
fill the centre of the earth
a white light remains

hiding in plain sight
yes...but no-one is looking!
and I have to laugh

flat against the wall
voices slide along my skin
I slowly dissolve
..........................................
the moon was incredibly beautiful tonight.
hanging above the horizon
a bowl holding the night.

winter sun beckons
it laughs between the shadows
calling out my name

I move through water
yesterday spins in my wake
blue sunlight pierces

every person is
in my life for a reason
learning and breathing

you, with a smile
that crashes into the sky
and eyes filled with stars

holding a soft breath
the day waits for me to wake
and the air vibrates

still, they wait for me
words sliding over my tongue
I try to catch up
..............................................
okay, life is so fucking amazing
if we stop and pay attention
we touch so many people
with our words, actions
old news, I know
but really, why
are we here?
see me now
I am here
I see...
you.

pressed against my ear
warm lips quietly whisper
words swirling in air
