I carry my secret

I carry my secret across the sand -

Each memory of you -

Each moment of joy -

Falling to earth

I thought of the angel in Wings of Desire -

Bruno Ganz playing Damiel -

Peter Falk playing himself -

I will drink my coffee -

Feel the warm sunlight on my face -

I will swim with you and afterwards hold your hand -

Like a scapegrace jackdaw

Jake sips a babychino -

He shows me his Lightning McQueen sunglasses -

Picks up new words like a scapegrace jackdaw -

Gentle words of wisdom

In the garden there was a labyrinth -

Inside the house I heard gentle words of wisdom -

Each word entering my heart - 

My eyes becoming bright with tears -

Swanage 

August 2026 

I wanted this afternoon to never end

I wanted this afternoon to never end -

Swimming with you -

No thoughts other than how lovely you were -

The scent of past summers

We ate blackberries walking back -

Each tree we saw had its long memory -

The woodland path was fragrant with the scent of past summers -

Joyous as scapegrace boys

We were swept downstream by the current -

Above us, shining greenery and glimpses of burnished sky -

Flickering scales of light on the cool water -

Coming to rest in a deep pool -

Joyous as scapegrace boys -
