A sound like a clap

A sound like a clap
ignites imaginations
my hand on her arse

Specific feeling

Specific feeling
unsatisfactorily
defined with language

Let's light a fire

Let's light a fire
then watch our world burn away
from ashes we'll grow

Bloom at your own pace

Bloom at your own pace
as Kurrajong trees blossom
every other year

Losing track of time

Losing track of time
as the year crawls to an end
between holidays

How does sunlight work?

How does sunlight work?
Making towels and sheets smell nice
making me happy

One of the best sounds

One of the best sounds
as they lie in bed waiting
that sigh women make

Return to the hills

Return to the hills
the scent of geranium
perfumes the hot breeze

It's incongruous

It's incongruous
chills felt when stepping outside
on a summer's day

Greatest love I've known

Greatest love I've known
the greatest lover I've known
thank you for knowing

My wishes for you

My wishes for you
may this season be festive
let love light your life

Can I disconnect?

Can I disconnect?
Retreat from virtual worlds
to remain present?

Fillings fill my days

Fillings fill my days
dreaming unlikely flavours
toasted sandwiches

Familiar dull ache

Familiar dull ache
smouldering distant longing
unrequited lust

Hide inside today

Hide inside today
water left outside for birds
hot weather forecast

Revving their engines

Revving their engines
those lonely young men tonight
wanking on the streets

Superb Parrots chirp

Superb Parrots chirp
flying quickly overhead
growing in numbers

The frog falls silent

The frog falls silent
as I approach his drainpipe
resumes when I pass

Watching lightning fall

Watching lightning fall
among dust-laden rain drops
awaiting thunder

As days flutter by

As days flutter by
they must feel like full lifetimes
to a butterfly

Crashed into window

Crashed into window
bent beak and feeling concussed
it's hard to Swallow

Exploring the dirt

Exploring the dirt
finding the places I'm hurt
letting the light in

Holding your blossom

Holding your blossom
we're flowers from the same tree
growing together

For resolution

For resolution
feel within your heart and gut
eyes do not see truth

Picking the scabs off

Picking the scabs off
the places where I should heal
watching old wounds bleed

Hidden in muscles

Hidden in muscles
discarded past emotions
knead to find release

I am here for you

I am here for you
offering patience and thought
reservoirs of love

White shape attracts eye

White shape attracts eye
it's a Heron stretching wings
contorts it's long neck

A thick rainbow arcs

A thick rainbow arcs
over my favourite gum tree
making my morning

A high-water mark

A high-water mark
in the form of a pale band
circling the bark

Tried kimchi pizza

Tried kimchi pizza
loved the vinegar with cheese
and spice with sweet sauce

Grass shifts between trees

Grass shifts between trees
as I approach the grass flees
green wings take to breeze

Grey clouds, humid wind

Grey clouds, humid wind
beads of sweat joined by rain drops
first day of summer

Donning my armour

Donning my armour
the breastplate covers my heart
hiding my feelings
