“Like lovers from a bygone time…”

Like lovers from a bygone time
The water and willow still entwine
The old tree stretched to reach his love
Thence embraced by her anointing glove.

“Along man’s time-worn castle wall…”

Along man’s time-worn castle wall
Sway dandelions in their ebb and flow
But which of these will be first to fall?
Not nature’s craft – that much I know.

“At the water’s edge you’ll always find me…”

At the water’s edge you’ll always find me
On a secluded riverbank or by the open sea
Lost in thought yet found peace of mind
No past, no future, and all worries left behind.

“I wonder if I am invisible?..”

I wonder if I am invisible?
It sometimes seems it’s that way
My letters don’t get a reply
My voice gets lost in life’s lay-by
Does no-one hear what I say?

I wonder if I am invisible?
It sometimes seems it’s that way
My politeness is ignored
My manners make you visibly bored
Does no-one see me today?

“Sleep!..”

Sleep!
I’m so very tired of you
Because you never stay for long
And if only I knew
The I trials I must do
To right this wearisome wrong.

“The moment of waking where…”

The moment of waking where
Dreams are ousted by reality
And senses abruptly register
That somebody is observing me.

The witching hour opaque and still
Paralysed by my own fright
Eyes straining in the dark reveal
A figure cloaked in pale moonlight.

Her face so sad, a young girl’s stare
Pierces my heart and far beyond
A ghost of whom she’s unaware
To her am I, and then she’s gone.

“She has two hands…”

She has two hands
But cannot hold
She likes to tell
But can’t be told.

She measures something
We often lack
She goes only forwards
And She never looks back.
