you shone

August 20, 2020 / simonsalento / 3 Comments

you shone
I reflected
brighter
I knew
than the star
I saw
you were

late night

late night
early morning
always in my dreams

the sea is louder

the sea is louder
than my thoughts
the day may be perfect

Princes Street Gardens after lockdown

people standing shouting to one another

not at

not yet

until the golden amber glisten

descends and disappears

in the shadow beauty

in the shadow beauty
the scent in summer breeze
evening sun forever

sprinkle my ashes

August 13, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

sprinkle my ashes
where weeds in icy streamings flow
there is so much more to feel

they pulled off their shirts

August 12, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

they pulled off their shirts
the light through their chests shone dark
dreams slowly gathered

she must have been

August 11, 2020August 11, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

she never told me
she loved me
she must have been better
than me
at keeping secrets
