a tree, a swing and a notebook.

whenever i feel the need to write, i go to the one place where i can be safe. where all my secrets are hidden under the roots, and my burdens are held steady by two pieces of rope wrapped around a branch, and a flat piece of driftwood. a place where no-one can touch me. it happens to be a real place, yet as time is always limited i only visit there once a year. as the imagination has no limits, i can go there whenever i choose to. all i need is my tree, my swing and my notebook. oh, and a pen.

your eyes.

Writing words, legibile sentences
About a person's eyes
Can be hard
They can be closed, shut off
Dark and dull
Colourless, abandoned
There's no soul to seek there

But your eyes
One gaze, and too many words
I'm lost in them
That warm amber glow that absorbs
My entire attention
Your eyes are the beautiful,
Unflinching cores onto which I hold
When everything else around us
Tilts a little
Windows into your soul -
Deep, endless oceans
That I fall into, willingly,
Rejecting gravity
As I fall more in love with you every day
