Redemption

Redemption

In you there is a Future for all Hope because love brings a confidence That want is enough for possible To see is enough to imagine. In you there is a Spirit that grows Born of light, it shines an innocence Spreads its wings over heavy shadows Chases the complex from simple love. In you…

Lady of Gold

Lady of Gold

Water gold and you one love precious and pure unfathomable …. You cleanse my spirit sifting through my shoals baptized by ripples of sea You pan my history releasing my secrets mining my life’s nuggets You forge in me a life smelted with a ray of blue an ingot borne of water. You hammer my…

Optimism

January 31, 2016 by Dale Leave a Comment

Optimism

Within the hardness of my husk Sheathed in winter’s ice I hold a softness, compressed by life, Dormant, but alive, I am seeds Ready for spring to erupt Safe within your gaze Protected within your hands, I’m vulnerable to all the world, I am filled with optimism.

My heart breaks the wind Holds permanent time for you Sweeps your eyes for the sky. My back holds our rings Ripples ridge my strength for you Lift your lips to my kiss. I move and remain Carve my body with a lover’s touch Fall upon your fingers. My hand is my love Fluid within…

A Changing Shield

September 29, 2015 by Dale 3 Comments

Lichen the Rock

I stand upon a shield – worn – hard My Canadian skin – pink – alive Lying beneath the sun – radiating – warm Picnics countertop – shining – smoothed By glacial time – frozen – cracked Fissures map the mantle – quartz – mirrors Catching autumn light – colours – captive Rose rock rolls…

Our World’s Slow Change

September 27, 2015 by Dale 13 Comments

We walk the trails side by side Smell the moisture slip from leaves Our love grows strong hand in hand.
