The Turning Tides

Times may change, but things can still mean something after time. Weird how they can come round full circle. I wrote this for the love of my life for valentine's day and thought I'd share it with you.

‘Skyline domes over, the Earth spins round.
It always does. And I know that I’ll find out
the desert is escape. But in reality
as sure as I see that in front of me
sparrows' wings clip halos of lampposts-
WE BUILT THIS LOVE ON STALWART STONE’.

-‘The Desert’ (Jordan Baker- February 2012)

 

The Turning Tides

(Jordan Baker- February 2013)

The twisting sands and the turning tides,
the delicate love and the splendid lives,
the effortless dreams on the close of eyes.
The colours of truth and valour of yours,
of heavens and seas and morning skies.
The stones of chance and stalwart rock,
the days of prospect which we look across,
the lights of fervor we shine and lock
into our souls as we cross the wasteland.
The fingers enlaced on a lasting walk.

The supple tastes and fine veneer
of your tender touch and placed so near
to the thirsty heart within my chest
which you’ve saved and I love you, dear.

Those first 10 lines are sheer poetry, voluptuous verses to swim in...
wow, love it, love it, love it
"the effortless dreams on the close of eyes."
"The colours of truth and valour "
"the lights of fervor we shine and lock
into our souls as we cross the wasteland."
these flow over your reader's skin like silk
