Letting go

I said I can tell you everything -

We were laughing -

Still brimming with joy from the waves and wind - 

Swanage 

August 2026 

Haunted

There were cracks in the walls -

A garden in shadow -

A bedroom door kept closed -

Steyning 

August 2026 

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 -
