Groove

The record finishes
I replace the needle
Cannot bring it to an end
Strung out
This hearbreak heartbeat
Keeps the beat
Scratching
At the surface
Walk the grooves’
Familiar streets
Before static
Pauses
Between repeats
Echoes still
The music sweet
Find you
In the gentle heat
That warms my blood
Where still it beats
Repeats
Repeats
Repeats
Repeats
Find you in the music
Of this heart’s forever beat

In early morning
Doe eyes follow our passing
Three deer by the sea

Philosophical discussions over hot tea
The infinite possibilities
Wondering what might be
If you were you and I were me
Hang on for a spell but you’re busy
You are you and I am me
Nothing more than that I see

Whisper

Your name
It whispers
Through the trees,
Between the boughs
And in the leaves.
It whispers,
Whispers,
Everywhere;
But when I look
You are not there.

Can’t help wondering
If running round in circles
Is going nowhere
