Air

Closing my eyes
I can feel the light 
over the horizon
heating my skin
my pores basking
and when 
I open my eyes
It's your warmth
radiating all over me
and into my heart.

Hey Moon

I know it's been so long
since we saw each other last
I'm sure we'll find some way

to make the time pass

Hey moon
It's just you and me tonight
everyone else is asleep
Hey moon
If I was to fall
I would fall so deep

Though I doubt I'm gonna,
You can wake me up if you wanna

And your pale, round face
makes me feel at home in any place
I would happen to be
At a quarter past three

The moon chased the sun out of the sky
Goodbye sun
the night's begun

The moon chased the sun out of the sky
Goodbye sunshine
the night is mine

Hey moon
It's just you and me tonight
everyone else is asleep
Hey moon
If I was to fall
I would fall so deep

Though I doubt I'm gonna,
You can wake me up if you wanna

I would hate for you to hang there alone
The whole night through

And I would love to spend the whole night
Just looking at you

And those seeds, little stars
You spread around
They make such a dramatic background

I don't care for sunbeams
No, I need the night to feed my dreams

And that's why
The moon chased the sun out of the sky
Goodbye sun
the night's begun

The moon chased the sun out of the sky
Goodbye sunshine
the night is mine

Hey moon
My old friend
Hey moon
The night is coming to and end
Hey moon
Come back soon

você é linda

Smell of your skin all over me,
I feel the texture of you 
sliding through my fingertips.
Coffee-coloured eyes
staring into me, warming.
In the dim evening light
soft freckles twinkling like stars 
on a misty coastal evening.
I’m melting towards you
your kisses traveling through me,
hot breath in my mouth
your fiery tongue licking my heart
Our lips and bodies clasped.
Each time you turn to look at me,
I'm lost for a moment,
caught in time
wondering "is she real?"
Oh, but you are so real,
as real as the calm ocean 
we've already shared a number of times
Your calmness and freedom rolling
like the gentle waves that cover us
in loving salt kisses 
under our summer moonlit skies.

Death and rebirth

To create we must destroy
To grow we sometimes must endure loss.
In the last three hundred and sixty four days
I have lost and gained more
than in the last forty two years.
It's fitting that tonight 
I'm the loneliest I've ever been.

The Next Day

The next day.
The following day.
The day after.
Always a page to turn,
a new paragraph to read,
a new chapter to start.
A new book in the series.
The pages are a constant.
The print on the paper is a constant.
Opening our eyes the next morning is a constant.
Our first breath before we speak is a constant.
There’s always a carriage.
The waves need the ocean.
The tides need the moon.
Our feelings need the voice.
Our soul needs the heart.
A kiss needs a recipient
An embrace needs a body
People need each other.

Less Is More

A long time ago
I would've wondered
"what does this mean?"
I guess time away
has made me feel safer
knowing that less is more.
Too many questions
can be a burden
but living in the moment
can be an open road.
 

Daydreams from a Blue Screen

Sick of the scrolling
pausing at you every time.
Pondering the feel of your dark mane
spilling through my fingers.
My eyes pour at your waist and hips
nestled inside my right arm as we walk.
Your merlot fingernails brushing
the side of my neck as I inhale
a faint sweetness on your skin.
Sick of typing and not seeing
your eyes absorbing my words,
trapped, waiting for your thoughts
to appear in a new blue bubble,
that in my dreams I hear whispered,
languidly with warm breath into my ear
as your head rests on my shoulder.
Sick of sitting, imagining the quiet stare
the ice in our drinks melting between us
Then I snap awake from my reverie
seeking more pixellated details,
dreaming about your laughter
echoing onto the footpath infront of us
as again I scroll on...
