These three words
These three words
are not fragile words
on which only dreams are built.
They are solid words
hewn from heart wood
shaped by experience.
Put your weight on these words
for they will bear you
should ground shift
or floods fill
or friends fail.
I love you.

New wine
New wine
is for new
wine skins
Mature wine
I crave
Ruby red
ripe
velvet
Scents of summers
gone
but
remembered
The taste of you

An empty Chair November 2012
One day
when you or I
will face an empty chair
Let’s not pretend that
our lost love
still lingers there
- a scent
- the faintest stirring of the air
-
But in the darkest hour
and through the bitter pain
- this hope
that on a world
lovely and renewed
we shall meet
and we shall love again
Joseph J Field
Note - this “love” I believe to be agape rather than eros
