If I  had a box of wishes
Of dreams and secrets
I’d stow it away, safe.
For keepsakes.
Stretch the seconds endlessly
Those that held you and me.
Extending time to infinity.
I would stash the words
That you made true.
The box of wishes,
Would have the whispers,
The touches, glances
Kisses you stole,
Your all-consuming love
Took me myself as a whole.
Moments that we owned.
Locked in a space.
Little did I know.
The box of wishes
Perforates time.
It reeks of nothing.
And leaves behind
painful memories.

It all began
With a hug
An embrace
Loving warm
My safe place
Smells of love
Sweet sweat
Steamy hot
So close and tight
Almost breathless
Gasping for air
Love is love
And some despair.

Where do I fly?
You ask me.
Into the
summer sky
Where the
setting sun
Bounces waves
Off her *****.
As she breathes
her last for the night
Does she sleep
or worry
Storms and winds
she has to carry.
'Tomorrow' who knows?
So give her hope.
coz you have been
there before.

‘Take away my blues ‘
I said a quiet prayer.
‘What will you have left then?’
Answered God
‘The sky I painted
The seas tainted
Are there for you
to blend into.
Blue is here to stay.’
‘Go on’ he said
‘I have a busy day...

Do you know
why I love you, honey?
You are sticky and sweet
You don’t dry up
No matter what I do
you never go bad.
You are acidic
yet medicinal.
My antioxidant
my energizer.
You know I cant
do without you.
That amber glow
Drives me crazy
When I ask you
Tea or me?

Sipping  tea
Alone someday
You will miss me
Then close your
Dreamy  eyes
Go ahead and laugh
The way you do
At me, at us.
That’s cool, really
We would be cool
Wouldn’t we?
Take a stroll
On the beach
Feel that sand
Slip away
Under your
Disproportionate feet
Send those seagulls
Away,  far away
That’s cool, really
so they don’t
bother you
With some
stormy memory.
Keep that office
Door open
Always.
Let them take
the litter
That’s cool, really
Locking it
might remind
You things
Won't do  any better
Drive by the café
Have our special
That’s cool , really
Just smile
If you see our bench
that was made for two.
If you see someone cry
Go ahead
Wipe that tear
That’s cool really
You do that well
you listen, you care
but please  ignore
those moles
Lest they
talk to you
about someplace
you met them
long ago.
Go ahead and forget me
Babes that’s cool really
Don’t just ever
Let me know
That your heart
is empty
the last crumbles
Of love
I scraped out
It was too good
to believe.
