All things great and small
This vast expanding universe
Unknowable molecular microcosms
Recede out of vision
Blurred beyond recognition
Likened to thunder with pounding rains
A sultry and welcomed side effect
Precipitated by your furious intimacy
Leaving us trembling like leaves
In the winds of torrential embrace

I have loved boundlessly
and thought left empty

yet in the moments
minutes and hours,
we lay in the stars
of each other's eyes,
I found ecstasy but also
unfathomable sadness

Finding you in this life
stitching my destiny,
into the silken fabric
of our days together

A pattern was designed
to be rent with tears,
but weaving a chaotic arc
found lusting symmetry

the burdens of life
strained the linen,
binding our bodies
to perfections edge

The heart of my car has been broken,
It happens on wintery nights,
Its radiator choking,
Had split all its hoses and pipes,
The only things there that were working,
Were its radio, wipers and lights,
But I wondered what else has been lurking,
Discovered just when the frost bites.

The winter wind runs wild
sending freezing, icy howls
echoing down the valley
Snow spitting from its jowls

Fangs of flashing silver
slobbering sleet from tongue
Winter coat of white
paws scrabble hard to run

Bare flesh slipping from its shelter
The blush of blood goes pale
Frosted teeth bite harder
my resolve begins to fail

Forget this night of wonder
go inside and have a sit
Have a cup of tea, stay warm
Don't take the chance of getting bit
