There’s a hole in my heart My desire has left for three days The intensity of our relationship Burns brightly as we wait for each other
The emptiness is unbearable My desire is to be by your side again So we can stand together And face the world full-on
25th Aug 2024 – I’m taking a guess at the date and that this is about Bronwyn. I can’t imagine writing that last line when I was with Emma or Cherry but I could be wrong. I do wish I’d dated things that I wrote in the past!
Sun crosses low in the sky But with enough heat to warm the air Except for when clouds cover over And breeze blows hard across the water
A girl feeds the ducks Lost in her thoughts but here now comfort Children run around and drop Their expensive ice creams on the floor
The colleges discuss their theories At lunchtime or play ball on the grass And executives take five from their humdrum jobs And eat their sandwiches, this morning prepared
Dogs run around leaving their mark Unaware of any dire consequences And grannies shuffle along with their shopping Feeling more secure away from the city
All around, the traffic buzzes Reminding you where you really are This man-made paradise is a mere diversion From what waits when you leave
At least people seem happy here Or come here to think through some advice When they leave they can take something with them A reminder of their happiness found
Together we separately practice Things we wish to learn You learn to juggle with one hand I learn to express my feelings But I still need to learn to express them to you
