One word, more meanings.
I love that about words.
I love my barista
He makes the best flat white.
I love the colour orange.
And the taste of orange -
But not together with chocolate.
I love chocolate.
I love the way watercolour paints
Flow together.
I love motorcycles.
I love my dog.
I love crunchy peanut butter
And Vegemite -
But not on the same piece of toast.
I love my colleagues -
Some of them anyway.
I love cheese and wine.
I love beer and curries.
I love the beach,
And the desert,
And the forest.
I love meditation.
I love that you are still reading this,
thank you.
I love the smell
of freshly tilled soil
and newly mown grass.
I love birds.
I love lists.
I love my son.
I am In love with my wife.
#1
Blue
Broken glass litters the floor.
As I hug my daughter against my shattered heart.
I feel her warm tears.
We sit huddled against the refrigerator door.
All this breakage...
She’ll want to come back to us again…
.
.
.
…I’ll probably say yes...
#2
Green
The sun is a pale disc.
The fog bank moves in from the South.
Everywhere is grey and shrouded,
Except the grass beneath my feet.
It remains green for me -
even when she’s not here.
#3
Orange
Marigolds
Strung in long chains
Drape from balconies and across pergolas
A hubbub of voices
A riot of colour
An extravaganza of flavours
A painted elephant
A sacred fire
Two souls are joined
Poetry is my aeroplane
