A poem of water

A poem of water

‘Vulnerable and slender sand scarlet’-Sarah Maguire

Warm and oval

‘The confident moon’-Sarah Maguire

‘The pink-flushed blooms’-Sarah Maguire

My body alive with you

Wild with you

‘As I see you

Crystals grow

Leaves chime

Roses flow’-Clive James

A second sweater

Writing a letter

Eyes the colour of bluebells

The freeform poet knuckles down to rhyme

‘The opal sunset’-Clive James

There in streams

I am there in every stream

I am there for every dream

I am there for every fight

And all that is unseen

That powers the dawn

A new baby born

A white wedding dress

Never been worn

The swallowed chocolate

It’s too late!

The Goonies film,

The adventure starts in the heart

The recollection of your smile

Watching the river for a while

A summer night

A handstand

‘We fell together

The world fell together’-Clive James

Holds all the verve

‘Alive,beautiful,neat’-Clive James

‘Glowing in the window’-Clive James

 

The piano glistens

The audience listens

A blush of red

Quite a hole

And I want to stand tall

I want to climb over the wall

Be excited by a call

‘Throw your fond in a pond’-Alice Walker

‘When the stars echo back’-Angus Peter Campbell

‘My highest love’-Angus Peter Campbell

The last milk journey of the day

The everlasting coins that join

A Bethlehem of the heart

‘The smiles you can make,

The metaphors you can invent,

The poems you can write by

Just seeing what’s in front of your eyes’-Angus Peter Campbell

‘O dove with patient voice and patient eyes’-Christina Rossetti

‘White as dove or lily or spirit of the light’-Christina Rossetti
