…with fragrance — You are beside me, all my life you walk with me in all the hours of every day and every lonely night through all the years we spend apart never near, but never absent I know you from deep inside and long ago a love never uttered never spoken, never…

…tied by the ebb and flow — A chance meeting that changed lives mending broken edges we explore together meander together along the winding road face our deepest doubts enfolding us is love a miracle of mirrors a moment of rest upon the winds of time come, my love come with me now when all else fades away each moment becomes more dear and lingers on into our dreams when the heart is at rest when the senses are clear two together tied by the ebb and flow flowers unfold petals as does love in unlimited measure

…all lies sleeping — Gathered glints of dappled sunlight branches bare themselves painless and without lament to fill the sky leaves dancing in swirling showers spiralling down with unheard pealing petals float phantom like a murmur of confused colours falling gently like snow amongst the weeping trees now barren of blooms raindrops beating blossoms huddled in the dirt then silence nothing moves softly, oh how softly all lies sleeping

…in the depths — Stepping out on long unused pathways through a weeping mist through all the familiar places behind us the crumbling walls the deep vividness of night falling on waves of fire the rose’s velvety folds a heavy scented breeze winding new roads to old places petals full of moonlit dew endlessly entwined spilling colours lilies float in a sea of green in pools reflecting ancient glades dying like shadows in the depths

…with nothing between us — Endlessly drifting in a stony place of hurting this is my shell of glass and rain I am standing alone only coloured by myself the echoes of a day, an hour slide into nightfall morning lingers just beyond reach I see the ashes of another warning echo across emptiness as playthings of the wind gentle words fall heavily upon this place the moon’s face rising in black branches

…a fragile silence — Rooms filled with faded elegance suspended in time a fragile silence recalling days long past finding refuge in emptiness under a pale moon the shadow of your passing emerges from doorways then disappears in a haze of drained colour despite the deep winter in my soul nothing has changed some closeness holds me here that I might enter once again and find you waiting over and over

…or so it appears — It is cold in the dream there is a fine mist of rain perhaps it is fog but damply it settles and softly it falls on me I cannot tell if it is night or day all the colours have faded leaving just shades of grey I feel lost and…

…in and out of chaos — Under watchful trembling stars in a fragile silence the snow awaits the rising of the moon with silvered breath lightning dances through the trees and thunder rolls away all throughout this never ending night the wind whispers and weeps the world rearranges itself in and out of chaos it is cold here in this place of shadows yet there is the soft warm scent of dew and jasmine and wet earth

…down another ancient road — Veils of moonlight drifting across the night a silent symphony the abundant wonder of this timeless lifetime this endless moment where all is merged you are now in awe of the ordinary the crowd disappears and you find fulfilment in the embrace of this empty space and at last your defences fall gently letting go all lies exposed it is a wordless honesty finally, you know that the love in your heart is always enough
