The Walk
Icy air made faces pink as they meandered across the moor
soft steep hills made wild hearts leap
bracken broke, heather sighed against the hillside floor
nature stirred inside him and
stealing her a glance
he spotted a colony of granite rocks
her movement a mystical dance
in rhythm he pushed her against the stone
she caught her breath, her eyes shone
surrendered to her father, her lover, her husband, her son
as they together again became one.
His kisses tasted of meadow rain
as he pushed inside her soul
her back chafed against the rocks
which she didn't feel at all
in this moment, she was young
lithe and carefree
gathering up their soggy clothes
they hugged as lovers do
and wondered slowly down the hill
refreshed, atoned, renewed.

I wrote this at the height of a passionate relationship as I contemplated how passion creates feelings of youth and vitality even when the reality is quite different.
Step into Spring
Throw
off the blankets of winter
Slip
off your overcoat’s gloom
Wipe
off the makeup of hope
Take
down the baubles in the room
Step
into Spring!
Push
away pastries and cakes
Nibble
on lemons instead
Stretch
your legs, expanding your lungs
Let
the breeze lighten your head
Feel
Spring zing!
Fling
open the shutters of your mind
Remove
the dirty drapes
Throw
away moth-chewed jumpers
And create
some new space
Let
in Spring!
De-clutter your heavy wardrobe
Make
love to your fragrant wife
Walk
barefoot on warm pavements
Re-introduce
yourself to life
In
the Spring!

Stillness
illness in a fast-moving world
Stillness in a fast-moving world
accelerates your soul's
flight.

Truth from the heart
Heart broken?
Heart is broken
it will not stop
the scar remains but your heart
will not
cease its march through wax and wain
it beats again,
and so life is made.
