It was a particular night

When it was the quarter moon that moved & not the planets

when the gases of Jupiter were ignite

The Sun had burnt out



We were balancing on an ice-age

we could have fallen either way

it was your mind versing mine

Exploding was I

Vesuvius I

with emotional activity



You were the rock

you were the lava

Spilling from my sides

& you when my mind was tired

My body weak

My face sad

My soul torn

You put the music back on



You Cradled Me!



You covered my face in laugh lines

you covered my face in crows feet

you covered my face in kisses

U cradled me



You are the bark of a dog

warning it's master

You are the melody in the chimes

You are the view from my back door

Looking out on to

a galaxy of gardens

where flowers bloom & perfume



You Cradled Me!
