It was a dream
Where
Many voices I heard
Speaking all at once
Some louder than
Others

Some just
A frightening
Whisper

I opened my eyes
And I found
Myself walking
With
The dead

Where
Blinding light
As morning
Became
Shades of green

And those
Shades
Held the moment
I screamed

You lie beneath my lashes
love, where dreams drift slow
and light forgets to fade

I hold you close behind my eyes
a quiet fire that never sleeps

For you, the blood learns
tenderness for you,
silence hums its slow
confession

Your shadow stayed upon
my quiet mouth,

your name keeps burning,
flooding through my veins.

Each leaf the wind lets
fall still speaks you out,

still wakes the heat,
the sweetness

The bathing moonlight
On her skin
Sparked
And fizz with life

Whereas
The canopy
Around the glade
Made the forest dark

Sinister almost

It was here
She lingered
Eyes closed
Serene
In meditation
Awaiting her owl
To arrive with
A letter from him

Cool autumn's mornings
Calm sands Slick sands
Staging giant monolithis
Indigenous still legends
Hidden deep secrets

Our actions drifts
In our lines lifts
In sanded mirrors
Where nature's
Reflections build oxygens
Wet shadowed margins

Stay close tonight.
The air smells of jasmine
and rain,

and your voice moves through me
like a quiet thought
I can’t shake.

You touch me, and the world
slows, the kind of stillness
that hums..

I walk toward your shore
where night slowly blends
into morning

The ocean hums softly
its dancing waves brushing
the sand like fingertips

The harbour waits quietly
light catching the water under
the stars…

He remembers the way
she leaned into him, how her hair
brushed against his chest

a quiet river of warmth and
scent, a language only skin
could understand

Her breath was steady,
slow but each rise of her chest
stirred something

For when you need to breathe...

Green trees line both sides of a gently flowing river.

Asleep
Yet walking within
Herself
Very much
Awake

Escape
Insurmountable

She'd
Dreamed
Nightmares
Real
And
Brought forth
Therefrom
Monsters
Most foul

Monsters
Gnawing on human bone
Bathing in their blood
Their war cries
Carrying heavy
On the outterskirts
Of her heart
