your mask hides your smile
but still how I’m struck
to see your eyes laughing
your mask hides your smile
but still how I’m struck
to see your eyes laughing
We have been together for longer than we haven’t.
Do you remember that day, that beer in the village,
that evening, that night?
Do you remember? I do.
And yes, life has changed,
life has definitely changed us,
life has of course green splintered and mended,
yes to all of those things, yes of course.
But still when I see you,
my eyes open or closed tight,
still when I see you I remember that evening,
the evening when the shadows were gone.
The country’s colours. Saltire. Tartan.
Surgical. Bananas. Edinburgh Spartans.
Superhero. Butterflies. Suns and moons rising.
Everybody staying safe, everyone still trying.
Lay your head on my chest and
listen
A second and a half is a long time between
beats
So many thoughts fly by before the
reassurance
But I am here
and will be here
counting out slow
eternity
with you
nearly completely
is how you described your love
nearly but not quite
light on two horizons
days end as ours begins
the joy of being together
if there is a path
you are not the first
slip sideways between the trees
dare the unknown to do its worst
Today I am happy for a number of reasons.
One: Lightning bolts do not always chase you.
Two: There are more than seven seas.
Three: You, my friend, exist.
blue pencil red pen
patrolling and controlling
long live erasers!
clouds pile upon clouds
early night before darkness
blurred thoughts of we two
