Remnants

Matching smiles exchanged
Transmit love from heart to heart
Shining on faces

Softly rain falls
Soundless only seen by marks
It leaves on arid ground

The bird swoops so swiftly
In front of the speeding car
A thrill for a life

Anticipation
warm honey trickling down
an awaiting tongue

The moon falls into a lap
‘Go away
You are too heavy’


Words tempt, cajole, sooth
Feathers ruffled stiff with hurt
words shred, hope dithers
