When we spoke

When we spoke on the phone did it

Feel untrue?

You bought me some perfume

But would you give me your life

Like they do in cocoon?

Protect me from the cloudy mist on the moon?

Decorate my hair with diamonds and blooms?

Pick me up soon

I can’t breathe from the sandy dunes

I fear death lumes

Making life bright with song

A neighbouring flower

A neighbouring shower

Pure lusciousness

Impatient for the sun

I need to book a holiday

The song of the honey bees

The hand of an old and wise tree

Anon a-dream

A sweet timid light

Poems of the woods

The drawing of it’s buds

Homely stuff

Home of love

‘We tossed our shuttlecocks

And tried to hit the moon’-John Clare

Eyes of truth and youth

‘I will live and love thee ever’-John Clare

‘A passport for heaven’-John Clare

‘The truth of my song’-John Clare

Large and lusty

Sweet fern tree

Sweet pianos chime

Sweet summers harmony

Stars in the night

Flowers in the day

The music of nature

Nature’s self is love

Fashion

Dress of happiness

Peace and health is liberty

A beautiful thing

We are mermaids dancing through the waves

Angel –watered

‘My babe,my treasure ‘-St Alphonsus Mariade Liguon

‘Union,one,divine’-Ben Jonson

Roses and religious purity

‘The sweetest flower that blows,

I give you as we part

For you it is a rose

For me it is my heart’-Frederick Peterson

‘The rose is the eye of the flowers’-Sappho

‘The red rose whispers of passion,

And the white rose breathes of love,

O,the red rose is a falcon,

And the white rose is a dove’-John Boyle O’Reilly

A kiss of desire

Under the light of a sapphire

My verse and truth

I hope I am valued for my sweetness
