~ the sense of us ~

i have seen the Majesty in your eyes
          and you have witnessed the Spark in mine

i have heard the aria of your Bliss
          and you have listened to mine

i have tasted the sweet nectar of your Joy
          and you have savoured mine

i have felt the fleeting bird of your Happiness
          and you have held mine

i have inhaled your heady fragrance of Together
          and you have breathed in mine

i have known the pure Peace of your Love
          and you have shared mine

~ siren serenade ~

from her watery depth
she climbs out
onto the flat stones
along the shore

in the warm oranges
of the setting sun
she shakes the saltwater
out of her long hair

with high notes
quietly she begins
her song of loneliness
fills the air

below the horizon
sinks the sun
night colours deepen
around her sorrow

stars flicker into view
her tune fades away
slipping between the waves
she is gone

truly scary clowns
