Poetry list
december caress
december without god
is not possible nor
january till november
love seeps through
each inevitable crack
in our certitude ten
pin bowling with a
strike knocked down
but think we’re standing
overcome but not
defeated for love
has remade the world
we can only see with
lover’s eyes caressed
not lectured loved beyond
self into the delirium of en
fleshed heaven religion
is but the brushwork of
the artist and faith the
abandon to the beloved –
word made flesh in the
immediacy of us believing is
joy the uncorked fizz the
overflowing of a moment’s
delight that can never stop
fuelled by the effervescent
spirit we can forget the
rules in the love of the ruler
whose throne is the heart
more than the mind
