Time & tide

• 

Time moveslike the tide in my dreamsit’s yesterday, I say ‘Hello’for the first time. You danceacross a room so high, the ceilingdrops to meet you I, with sapphiresin my eyes turn & walk away,for the first time. Poems knockingin my head round & roundI wait; did you ever say,‘’I love you’’? Time movessand & tide an ebb & flowof drama, once so clearit seems I’ve lostall answers, but time & tide& years have broughtyou back this way, calling outmy name this last time.
