I see you an inch at a time,
Filling the spaces left in the fence.
Glints of gaudy, plastic play-jewels,
A shimmer of hair trailing past as you run,
The bright, berry-red of a newly-scraped knee.
I’ve not seen your face,
But I see it in sounds coming over the fence,
Humming while filling your teapot with dirt,
Calling to friends that you know you don’t have,
Or chirping “I’m six!” when a bird asks your age.
Sometimes I “see” your house filling with shouts,
And little you crying in never-cut grass,
“I think he’s asleep” whispered under your breath,
And since you’d like someone to say it to you,
“There, there.”
I’ve not see your face,
Yet I see you completely
In the wisps and the calls given off by a life
And what my heart already knows of
Loneliness.

Little waves of light, reflecting darkest night,
Embracing shadows, so alive – feelings to recite.
Little wonders, growing, soft and silent, flowing,
Coloring hearts, so graceful – amazing, mind blowing.
Little whispers, rising, fragile but so energizing,
Breathing hope through the moments, - it’s simply mesmerizing.
Little hearts stirred, by music from the spirit, melodies heard,
Tempting the heart to listen, - beyond the night, to each word.
Little lives, healed by believing, never doubting or grieving,
Assured of the hopes they’re aware of – miracles so relieving.
Little poetic designs, stories penetrating, on heartfelt glories,
Softening doubts and reminding us why – there are many allegories.
Little touches of hope, inspirations to help hearts to cope,
Sometimes life can feel more a maze, - something of a zoetrope.
Little dances burning with desire, taking spirits higher and higher,
While even the nights feed the passions, - feels like catching fire.
Little tangos and waltzes, dancing, bringing excitement so entrancing,
Blazing through the lives of those who see – these feelings are worth chancing!

You offer me nothing
I think i will pass
Lets get rid of some words
Right lets start
with good and bad
wait all the hands are up both sides
F**k nope
what word would imitate
A guy with a dick on his head
kinda makes me chuckle
Next well i just used it
What about about
nope used it twice
I like dollop but i don't use it heaps
did you like that
remanded reminds me of reminded
Zoetrope old fash but i just love the shape
we probably won't need elephant soon
unless its to explain
come back God
get rid of your infallible mistake

I love a night of storm
When face is slapped
by wind rush drops
and the darkest greys
rush by
like
a z
zo
zoe
zoet
zoetr
zoetro
zoetrop
zoetrope
thats turned too fast
Grumble stumbles over hills afar
Sky filled with radiant
Potters scar
Splatters and growls
hide the nigh time
norms
Tasting rain soaked wind
Body surf the waves
Detaching from the day
Peace within the storm
