I am

unseen finches singing in cool willow branches
a bittersweet taste you hold in your mouth
bubbling laughter impatiently wanting to dance
a shattered looking-glass heart
sunlight winking inbetween raindrops
rage tearing apart blue skies with my voice
warm honey dripping from freshly baked bread
private salt tears
ripples from paddles dipped into still waters
strands of pain stretched beyond bearing
watercolours bled to each other to form dry paper rainbows
terror rocking back and forth in that dark corner just there
the red light on closed eye lids absorbing the sun
the velvet black of a night with no stars
a textured charcoal line on thick coloured paper
crocus bulbs emerging from cold earth in the springtime
the total silence where reflections stop in deep water
the breeze that will lightly brush along side of your face
exquisite pain floating just under skin
cool tides pulled by a distant blue moon
dead, now forgotten, once pretty flowers
black rich mother earth crumbling now in my hands
wondrous child’s eyes
a roaring inferno that can burn from within
a lily overdrenched with rainwater

I am
nothing
I am
everything
I am
