The Abiding Rule

Abiding Rule

I cleave

You receive the cleavage

I am drawn into

A petal forever forgotten

As we the immortal pose

A man and woman

Our delight

I recognise

my only hope

Is your perfect perfect breath

I know the Lord is watching

along with the anarchy of

songbirds outside

I am tender

The drool of love is the

richness of bread broken

Maybe when we are older

we will recite a poem

once remembered

As it stands all things between us

are driven from the froth of the mouth

Like anti-bodies with a disease

Or a bridge where couples hold hands

The abiding rule is love

Reading Our Thoughts

And there were ten of us

All friends

All looming great into

the future

Not one of us made it

At the bottom of the sea

Or plagued by heaven's mist

We played games abot the past

To tell a story of hope

We were children on a jetty. Unafraid

I do not mind being old and

passed my best dreams

I have other plans

There are five of us

The famous five

I am riveted by the solace of a book

She may of wrote it

But I endow beyond her words

Having experience and living characters

There are none of us to return to friendship

The root of my existence love

It is still pressing

When I die I will die of love

There are millioms of us

Quietly reading our thoughts

A Mother's Death

A Mother's Death

Now you are gone

I recede into the semi-darkness

of prayer

My heart filled with obtrusive

pains

Claims you were my Mother

I loved you as leaving was dearly

spent

Be one another

Mother and Son

Now you are gone

There will be no words

Unless you remember in death

As I appoint this eulogy of a life
