Poetry?

pale cherry

November 27, 2018 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

pale cherry lips
windchill numbed
eyes spark black
as storm clouds approach
all this must end, must end

Yesterday winter held

November 18, 2018 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

Yesterday winter held below the horizon
Chill dawn hears silent locks unlocking
Misted wraiths stealthy gyre at daybreak
Winter rises from hard fields

fire works

fire works

you should try it

fire works

first frost

first frost
steel hard
horses steam
hooves cracking grass

like clockwork
world turns and breathes

horizons sharpen

genetics

if we had children
and they were clever
as you
and beautiful
as you

that would be fine

I started to write

October 23, 2018 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

I started to write
about you
my heart flickered

I closed my eyes
put down my pen

your name did not appear
but you
the thought of you
your being
clear for all to see

I breathed
began again
but this
is all I could

first

first sight
first love
first smile
first kiss
first
only

your name belongs

October 18, 2018 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

your name belongs
in every sweet song
on my lips

sunlight on rain pools

October 9, 2018 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

sunlight on rain pools
breeze ripples surface not depth
past times reflection

happy happy happy

October 4, 2018 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

swimming with mermaids
I realised
silence fell
don’t let autumn
out today
together
my girl
that’s very kind
happy happy happy
enjoying
