the time you take

November 1, 2022 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

the time you take 

to collect and display 

I hear the ticks tock 

In the nodding of the hyacinths 

you collect and display 

taking time to show me

giving time to hold me

Finish

October 28, 2022 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

I have arrived at the end

my heart is pumping

full to exploding

you 

in every heartbeat

sunflowers

August 22, 2022 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

sunflowers fill the horizon

petals picked up in the breeze

summer sunflower is ending

journey

August 21, 2022 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

through the long grass
blood sweat and tears
unknown the destination

morning sky

August 20, 2022August 20, 2022 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

morning sky fresh flinted

dew or the memory of yesterday’s rain

waiting and watching and watching and waiting

and finally the sunrise

if the world slowed

August 19, 2022 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

if the world slowed

and stopped

and started spinning
in the opposite direction

could I hold on to you?

tsunami shipwreck

August 18, 2022 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

no warning

like the dawn her look falls on me

tsunami shipwreck

the mirror held

August 17, 2022 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

the mirror held up

before the closing eyes

catches the closing moments of a dream

small mirror

August 16, 2022 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

small mirror

sidelong glancing

how will the evening end

against a white sky

August 15, 2022 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

against a white sky

rainbows all colours of blue

changes tomorrow
