Underneath the silence,Of the deep, dark ocean.You float all the way down. We danced in the sun,You and l.And only when those voices woke us,Did we drown. The waves keep lapping,Against the stones of my heart.But your voice,Is still the only sound. © M.H.

The whole of ’72 went by so slow. There was party after party,Christmas almost every day. Laughter was the language we spoke,Even in our sleep,Even in our dreams. And when Christmas finally arrived,We were all laughed out. We had the best presents already opened in June,Or September.So there was nothing left to be happy aboutContinue reading “’72”

All the way from Kielce,The sky was gold. But grey seeped in,The nearer to Kraków I got. Until,At Zastów,The skies opened, And Poland said goodbye. © M.H.

I am standing in my own light,and you come as the night.Singing ‘l am the shadow next to yours tonight’. We will never know which one of us is right.

Downy hairsglisten with beadsof sweat.Steam rises from milky flesh.She lies before me.Aching for me to touch her. That placethat hidescomes out at nightshows me her hearther eyes when the tide rolls out.Just at my touch. Wetnessher sweet scentair that comes in wordsand fills ears, and heartsthat comes in waveseach time we touch. And when touchingContinue reading “TOUCHING”

Just give me a second of your century,A moment in your dream.And I will give you everything I have,Everything I am,Everything I can be. Just give me a kiss, hidden in a bush of thorns,A smile in all those words.And l will give you starshine,Everything under heaven,Everything there is. Just give me a reason notContinue reading “THE GRAVITY OF REASON”

It felt like a lieIn the dark of the nightWhen my comments went unanswered. It felt like l triedAnd you just came for the rideWhen our destination was a shared dream. It felt like l diedEvery time you deniedThat simplicity, not stardom was your goal. I felt l should hideAnd get out of the lightGiveContinue reading “IT FEELS LIKE GOODBYE”

She whispered,Within a scent of kissed rosepetals.Under the blueOf Summer skies. The sea shushedAnd we listened,To it’s sussurating song,With the gold of ardour in our eyes. Behind our backs,Back on land,Our piles of clothes,Lie as tombstones to our passing. We went for a swim. And became each others’ ocean. © M.H. 3:38 pm 26/07/25
