Time lingers teasing
paradise waits impatiently
your eyes rest on mine

ripples #14
touched by a moonbeam
tranquil lake shivers silver
~ripples reach my ears
listening closely, I hear
lowest hanging clouds murmur
hanging clouds murmur
mischief firing up some fun
~pillow fight follows
sudden unexpected kiss
below falling down feathers
falling down feathers
caressing cherry blossoms
~April rain showers
shivering streams of silver
matting our hair as we dance
as we dance all night
starlight splattering on souls
~ summer sighs softly
as time’s tender tendrils tug
temptingly towards autumn
autumn always clicks
photographs in sepia
~ I’m thinking of us
thoughts flurry in photographs
like snow in the negatives
a flurry of snow
when wayward winter winds whoosh
in a gust of glee
off-grid up in the mountains
renga partnership on pause
partnership on pause
winter ice and summer sun
~ melt to meet again
rivulets rush rapidly
flowing freely together
rushing rivulets
rumba in rugged rhythm
~ rapture on the run
grrrowling in utter delight
bear cubs wrestle on the banks
wrestling bear cubs laugh
catching snowflakes as they fall
~ into each other
mama bear splashes nearby
~ looks like fish for lunch again!
splashes nearby
squirrels run helter-skelter
bushy tails must dry
skittish fawns sip crisp water
wise doe eyes big mama bear
fireflies flitter
festive forest fairy lights
fire up furry friends
finches flip-flapping for fun
friendly ferrets frolic forth
tickled by a prank
hedgehogs roll over laughing
spraying pins on pines
distracted by silliness
they struggle with their renga
waterfall of words
wrapping wild winds of wonder
~ nature’s poetry
animals caper through falls
painted rainbow by the flow
through the waterfalls
fireworks of colour sparkles
rain rainbow showers

hers ~ a nonet
From the mercurial hands of fate
she reclaims her ifs and maybes
laces her shoes and packs a bag
whistles her favourite tune
while she hides a smile
because she knows
all next days
will be
hers
April
In a world we never met
one April day played on loop
why we laughed so much
no reason understood
windows down we drove
face against raindrops and reality
singing my wonderwall
running out of tune and eternity
never mind you said
all the rules…they bend
lets lock ourselves in this bubble
where April never ends
