raven at my window claims I am edible at any moment ~ & that moment is nigh
Didn’t make the turn to my street
Went the extra few blocks
To seashore
Sun now lightly kissing the sea then disappearing
Like I did last week with you
What would it be like with you at this moment
I wouldn’t speak
(Yes! I can be quiet at times)
I would need to have contact though
Since you first touched my hand at a table now sitting over a paddock I once played in so long ago
I have been connected to you
Merged
Not hypnotized by you but by your spirit
Is this spiritual romanticism
Do you believe in magic of souls/spirits/us
once joined/divided/joined again through time/space/mind/body
Are my myths
Just my myths
Do you share the sense of them too
How about the reality if there is a reality
Of them
Sky ~ clouds ~ blushing
The longer the sun has disappeared in moistened seas
The more colours appear
Would you feel this peace
Would you let me kiss you lightly at this moment
Would we walk the beach or sit on the shore
Such vastness ~ the sea
I know better than to jump in
And begin to swim to New York (I am not a good swimmer)
(I have already come close to drowning in you)
two large clouds come together
merge
covering the final hues
how can I convey what I see to you
be my friend Ronnie
I will shelter you I will nourish you I will protect you
You who are deep in sleep
6 PM here 4 AM there
my days getting shorter cooler
yours longer warmer
everything so tipsy-turvy
upside down
backwards and inside out
yet still I feel one with you
you are the smart one Ronnie
explain it to me..

Two Funny guys!
Hanging with my father before getting hypnotized by you. My father’s first question was ‘ don’t they have barbers in Australia?’
