Early morning
and it is still dark.
An abandoned
shopping trolley stands alone
in the centre of the car park.
I take pity and return it back
to its home and the company
of its own kind where it
rejoins the others
in their long coitus line.

Hastily stretched, crackled urgent ocean edge relents
Ashamed attempt to escape rejoins campaign of mass
Furtive dig below propels conspirator spasm, next next
Murders brash bouys, cranky spa champagne embrace
Swum undulations, bare back mermaid's dips resurface
Her furvour ploughs halobiont plenty scape, nourished
Snapped lobster lavishly celebrates bountiful turquoise
Sway gaze brazen by bobbing safe island encouraged
Crill swirl sweeps dripped lips, sun baked rock decreed
Beacon mound majesty painted daily in sea gull exhalt
Coconut snow flakes sparkle on cockle clamour bleed
Wave blown eroding scales slow exhales evaporate salt
Ripe globes ground reaped glug nectar so gluttonous
Fibres hibernate ivory rich liquors tipsy Secret Benefits
Land languish survivor devours sugar shards sumptuous
Wipes moreish mouth aft treasure trove haemorrhages
Fifth May
Finesse Saves

At home there is a stubborn flower
Sickening like yaws it is
Touch it and it curls
Undress and it laughs heartily
Break it and it rejoins itself
Beat it and the stick breaks
On her cheeks tears flow as I smile
Rain makes it happy and extra turgid
Night fall makes it twinkle like star
Fans nocturnally celebrate on her petals
Loose is her behavior as bees lick her nectar
On bed of sorrows I sleep counting stars
With this stubborn flower at home
Each day is a thousand years
Roaming my mind is more death than life

Slowly it slips away from sight forgotten into the shadows,
It watches from the darkness how the world still moves on without it,
All of them too busy with their lives to realize,
Something is lost from their lives
How has it come to this?
That this being lives amongst us unnoticed?
Do they know of its existence?
Or is it forgotten on purpose?
For once “it” was a he or a she but definitely one of them,
He was once popular amongst them for he was their friend,
Part of their daily lives and part of their society,
He mattered to them like they did to him.
They were close, a team, one family,
But time drifted them physically apart,
Will they remember him?
Or forget him like the rest?
He tries to remain with them through virtual reach,
But he slowly slips from mind and thought,
He’s now no longer part of them,
Only someone they once knew.
Even when time rejoins them,
He’s no longer good enough for them,
He‘s no longer of use to them, no longer a part of them,
Slowly it slips into the shadows, watching knowing where it now belongs.

As tides roll in, persuaded by the moon
Your heart directs my journey to love’s shore
Harmonic lunar altitudes attune
And swirling waves join souls forevermore.
Amidst this cycle one thing I must mend:
As all too soon the sea recedes again.
My love lies weakened, distant at shore’s end
Until assured by pledge that you’ll remain.
But how am I to overcome this force
And stay steadfast, not washed away by tides?
I beg you ne’er allow me to change course
‘Til arms entwined adjoin where love resides.
So when the sea recedes then rejoins land
Our hearts will ne‘er subside; ’gainst tides we’ll stand.
