Vincent, your words break me

each day, she faded a little more

daydreams of yellow flowers in fields

it seemed as if you were on the verge of speaking,
and i would have hung on your every word

while lace umbrellas caught the sun’s raining rays,
the greenhouse welcomed us with a warm embrace

happiness is red flowers in winter

like a tattoo on my spirit,
you marked me forever

dried flowers on table tops
crystals gleaming in the winter sun
mourning dove silhouettes against grey skies
cherry, apple and almond challah bread
leaves on rainy walkways
lemon verbena candles and a book about John Muir




fall into my gentle embrace and i will forever keep you safe

“Everybody knows deep down that life is as much about the things that do not happen as the things that do and that’s not something that ought to be glossed over or denied because without frustration there would hardly be any need to daydream.”
from the novel, Pond by Claire-Louise Bennett
