Loved Lovers
Loved lovers
You have had others nail
their coffin’s closure's stench
into your heart mind and soul
Stitched up and wanting
to find what seemed lost
for eternities you emerged
to find a pink blossom
a scent of a possible future
My walls had been too tall
too barbed far too towering
had ceased to protect the
fragrance in me the fruit
looking for a taste of the
treasure and the rot to depart
My treading lost and exhausted
in imprisoned free fall faint
fainting milky ways waiting for
whirling riptides scrambled
to churn into butter and honey
to drown quietly or to rise
Could walled frog turn to
prince could peaches turn tides
moon flavours be shared
would princess be found
moon spoons rise and forge
gently into pleasure harmony
and delirious passion
I prayed to the Sun God
and followed the stars
arranged moist petals into
the shape of the heart your
love spelt in words in the soil
and beyond orchards of longing
Dreams looking for rescue in
seeds love ovation and truth
Somehow we found our path
together the way found us
pastel pastures no more nails
no more wire only a garden
Presence in gratitude
my gift continues to be
handing the peach of love
to you your ongoing gift
is accepting and sharing
taste smell scent and beauty
the peaches of peaches
