No Hint of An End

No Hint of An End  

These words have no 

Beginning but they 

Bounce and echo loud

Around the labyrinths 

Of the same shell

They were first

Imprisoned in long ago

Fine words  They are too...  

 

And when Whispered soft

Might be mistaken

For the sea and wind

Mouthing and teasing

Her wild golden

Finger combed hair

Brushed back and yes

Still damp and salty...  

 

My lady once lived

For such poetry

Yet she would lay there

Hardly breathing

Just in case the spell

Got broken

Then on waking fully

She would look up and see

Through a perfect Ken Simm sky...  

 

Twas then he felt her kiss

South of the nape

His neck did cry 

And she did crave

Gentle as the downward 

Thrust of lichen green

Lacewings wings

Passing them by

There in the cove of their

Safe and secret harbour...  

 

Yes indeed for

That is where words 

Such as these

Go round and round

With not a single 

Hint of beginning

No sure sign of a middle

And no

No certain trace of an end even....
