POEM: All Washed Up

All Washed Up
Two rubber gloves hang discarded
Cling to the plate rack of pine
Empty and turned to the tiles
Waiting for a water ball
Two rubber gloves hang discarded
No purpose for us to observe
Sadly exhibiting usage both
Hear the dishwasher call
Two rubber gloves hang discarded
Colours faded and fingers worn
One springs a hole in the thumb
Its partner hears the bin fall
One rubber glove hangs discarded
Pale and lonely for its pigeon pair
Lost in the drain of life’s chaos
Single; no purpose at all

Umbrella Sea
I look down
umbrella sea
snaking between
shiny metal towers
separate
still me
a strong wind
searching for red
among the grey
pushing risk
frisking
steering
toward decision
do I leap
air-dance Nike-like
raindrop steps
merge the blue
sky-reach
take a chance
with you
I am Luke
sky walker
sweet talker
calculated
risk taker
love maker
potential heart beaker

St Mary’s Road, Midleton, Cork. 2003
Vaccuming
With every pull toward your body
you expect obedience.
Expect each tiny micron of dirt
to be sucked up and away.
Look at the attention you give stairs…
How do I become like stairs?

28 years…
Posted in Exploring Possibilities, Love, Poetry, Romance, Writing, tagged ExploringPossibilities, FrancesMacaulayForde, Love, POEM:MyKnight, poems, poetry, Reunion, romance on January 21, 2015| 1 Comment »
Mum, Amazon Crescent, Kitwe, Zambia, 1972.
Today would have been my dear old Mum’s 84th birthday. I wish I could give her a hug, like I do in my dreams. It’s also the anniversary of my husband first finding my name on the net in 2002 (after 28 years apart) then that hug and a promise to explore the possibilities of love, again.
I think it was Mum’s way of hugging me… bringing my love back to me.
Taken in 2002, the day after he flew to Perth from Ireland via South Africa, to hug me.
My Knight
In the afternoon of my life,
settled,
content and comfortable
in my alone-ness
you question me!
You destroy
my strong defenses,
obliterate
my sense and reason
to let you in!
For my heart,
bow wave of confusion,
tense terror times
of doubt and fear
~ unknown ~
risk everything,
my ordered now!
The colours of my life
changing to a
different hue…
You terrify me!
Wanting – needing
arms that enclose
a broken heart…
Make it whole again!

Hello…Will you… I do.

There’s this cute idea making the rounds on Instagram :
1. Where you met your partner,
2. Where they proposed
3. Where you said “I do”.
I’d love to participate but I don’t have a smart phone or Instagram account.
However, I will participate, as much as I can.
1. 1973 Kitwe, Zambia at an audition for a keyboard player with the band ‘Paper Lace’.
2. In his town house, St Mary’s Road, Midleton, Ireland, June 2003.
3. Hillarys Boat Harbour, Western Australia, November 2003.

McDaid’s Folk Club
We carefully stepped through
the seated crowd, she smiled
in surprised delight and
pulled you down
to whisper invitingly.
I watched the young guitarist finger-pick,
thought about her possessive
hand placed on
your willing arm
and felt sick.
