visitation
seek stillness
wanton fly
the second
decade
our being together
is not to be
flown through
a contact sport

at first
gasp
fulfilment
the clay
figurine
for the
time being
pants
for more
is
breathless

another year
ends
parallel
lines
the wheels
of a train
derailed
unmet
at infinity
keep spinning
this one-track
mind

clouding
over
a salamander
a moment's
infused
has laid
its eggs
contemplation
in
my mind's eye

piecing
together
haiku path
the edges
of the universe
from
juxtaposition
man
and wife
to conjunction

rosary vigil
quite unnoticed
rattling through
the mysteries
in Breughel's
Icarus
she lived for
it was spring

in me
breath

rising sun
fat man's
Icarus
self-destructs
critical mass
vaporises
over
Hiroshima
Nagasaki

through
our dreams
mystery
visitation
an atmospheric
river
the ark
of the covenant
levels the highs
& lows
overturns
all expectations

a puff
original sin
of reverie
recollected
out
of the blue
in
tranquility

breathless
light
time
after time
manifesting
the unseen
I fail
to pass under
through
my eyes
the rainbow's
arch

day in
day out
in one breath
the cosmic
evolution
the missing link
of
estrangement
unearthed
- Details
- Written by: Stephen Bailey
a leaf left
just one path
after the wind
leaves
without parallel
not much
else
in
obscurity
- Details

all alone
a silent
music
within
the alone
breaches
the soundscape
all of us
tone by
tone
- Details
- Written by: Stephen Bailey
a flat earth
interior monologue
blithely
mirrored by
a pendulum
swinging
its
day moon
from the lips
of indecision
- Details
- Written by: Stephen Bailey
the pain
borne
for us
our
daily bread
broken
for us
rolls out
wafer thin
