We propel and pull
Past loneliness.
Our headiness,
Halfway falling
And all a-tiptoe tap
Upon our seesaw's
Sea shattered slats.
A pair of persian pierrots
With baby bache
On our back
As the swinging anchor
Restless
Ticks off
Our tri-soul's fragile minutes,
Our fat love watches on,
Waiting out,
The rumble tumble lift
The stratospheric soar
To a scene
Beyond the shore
*bache is persian for child
This day has closed too soon
I am standing on the cold stones
of the humming garden alone
thinking of you.
When will you come?
autumn whispers through the trees.
Are you there in the streets
watching me as my heart starts to numb
Anya Nin
Lay, languidly in my dreams
Lay, languidly in my dreamy mornings
With you a new dawning.
In my dreams and heart
Your sonorous voice
Enraptures me
And leads me on course.
So lay languidly
In my dreamscapes.
Life is as we give,
We make
Charles Wiseman
You and me babe
To the end.
Through loneliness
And craziness,
This natural seesaw
That anchors
And lifts off
propels and pulls.
We make demands,
command,
But beneath it all,
I want
You
And you want me
and we want to be
Three,
You and me,
And the one
In between
And life really is as
As simple
As that
River Ambler
When I stand on Battersea Bridge with you,
I wonder why I ever went out,
Stomping the pavements of Europe
With my limp torn Baedecker
Fraying in the heat
Why did I crave to see first hand
The stories I gorged on through winters,
When our bones contain all the world,
And you alone,
in your ambling way,
Can knit us into being.
Laura Hymers
Loose Words
There is a thing called a poem
like a moonbeam held in the palm
gone as soon as it is remembered
There is a memory of who I once was
before I knew that I was
the first time I saw my face in the mirror
There is a mirror, a bright shiny thing
that stands between you and I
and cracks as I reach in and cut my hand
There is a scar on my hand from the day
I shattered that mirror. Do you remember?
It was blue and you said its reflection told lies
There is mirror that I hold
in this scar that is my memory
that I give to you here in this poem
