Book preview

Preface

I love predawn. The air is clear and full of unstructured potential and from this place I write my poems. My soul is free to utter what has not been spoken. She is free to speak her own language.

I share these poems with you. Many were written years ago and others are more recent. My hope is they will touch some mysterious chord in you as they have in me.

Kim

Love

Arched basin of womb like curves

fall slowly into my breath

Gently sweep your hair

close to my veins

In bed the cliff face of love

is deep

Lips weave my soul

and baptise my heat

Lava and ash beckon

new frontiers

and I fall

There is an ocean avenue spiraling

through winds wilderness

Love is wild too

it is you

it is me

Tender...passionate...complete

Full of Grace

Capture falling stars in a tear

The phone rings

Rainbow creates

a canvas and

colour blooms across your face

I capture, no push

then stretch...merge

Back so smooth

full of grace and surprise

This deer drinks salt

from my cheek

and in the eclipsed memory

I run to you

I am becoming again

Ignited in the

cadence of you

You Crazy Thing

Swell snatches diamonds into its

embrace

Your window so mellow

over the sea

The chord that sings me to you

lost in a storm

drifts

Frost like dead passion

cracks underfoot

new life always

always new life

Beauty in that emerald dress

that tattoo...emblem to defiance

blesses your back

Waves hit rock

Mystery slams open my heart

You Are Enough

You are enough
