I Hear A Bell in My Head

  By , , , , ,

I hear a bell in my head

Chiming as if from a distant tower calling

When your eyes smile good morning.

 

I hear a bell in my head

Chiming like a timepiece punctuating

When you share each step of your daily journeys.

 

I hear a bell in my head chiming

In murmurations down my spine flowing

When you hand your thoughts to me

At the end of day.

 

I hear a bell in my head chiming

Like a blackbird each precious moment praising

When I fall asleep knowing

I take delight in you.

 

I hear a bell in my head

Chiming as if from a distant tower calling…

A Morning Benediction

  By , ,

You wash your face with sunlight

And the brightness of the morning

Runs through your hair.

I see it trickle down your back in

Tiny rivers, collecting gold dust

At the nape of your neck.

Gleaming radiance ripples

Along your shoulders

As you stretch your arms wide

And let each drop find itself

A home on your fingertips –

Before you turn, and laugh,

And with a flick of your wrist

Sprinkle glowing droplets

All over me.

Perseus without a shield

  By , , ,

Like Medusa you look at me.

Changable eyes of every shade of grey

Turn from cynical self-deprecation

To cutting steel, glittering a warning.

 

And like Perseus without a shield

I feel myself grow brittle,

Cracks creeping up my spine,

Branching out across my back.

 

Almost an afterthought,

That polished shield.

I see my own grey abstractions there,

The long shadow I can cast.

 

Now I feel you close behind me,

Your snakes hissing in my ear.

I slowly raise my eyes to yours –

You see yourself in mine.

 

And slowly your bent head

Settles on my shoulder.

Like golden ornaments your snakes

Curl around my hand in your hair…
