chiffon of youth

where is your turquoise dress?

trying to remember the last time you wore it or even saw it

fastening the elusive fabric to your inner eye

the fabric your dreams were made of

halfway into sleep

scanning your life’s horizon

for the blue-green Morse code signal

going to your own place

your own beach where you used to wear it

the chiffon of youth

the sand of sleep is giving

there’s a bright distant sound

you’re sinking

imagining

a horizontal rainbow on the beach

you running along the sections of colour

and in the room of orange-red

is your turquoise chiffon of youth

to retrieve it you need to walk through

so you do

there’s a vibrant sound soaring

it’s turquoise in the sky above

the fiery red rowan

waking at 2 a.m.

you want to learn to play the saxophone

unifier

replenishing your still mind

you close your ears and eyes against the day's noise

drawing a heart-shaped aura near to you

with the in-breath

expanding it with the out-breath

releasing tensions in your neck and shoulders

imagining

you in a halter-neck tunic totally surreal

like two long pieces of pleated

fabric meeting in a freshwater pearl belt

two currents of colour one red one turquoise

to your knees

you know without being told

this is the symbol of the inner dolphin

the unifying power of grenadine red

and deep ocean turquoise

meeting at your neck your heart streaming

from your waist

it was always you and the world

so this is your true purpose

unifying the disparate

your repose was always an embrace

unity to you is being two or more

other and self holding hands forever

body and soul tight-knit as twins

in the womb

being a unifier

you're seeking the clicking into place

from desperate to one universe diverse

you'll never learn how to argue

but you'd like to show your true colours more

the smooth dolphin energy

in the sun

time was
when you roamed the white beaches
together with your true love and your friends
in the arms of a turquoise day
always listening to the music

you in your simple sundress
just a halter-neck
with folds flying free
carrying the music
in the white linen lawn
like the firmament carries the sun

years have gone
but you're you anyway
still listening to the music

relaxing deep inside
in the arms of a turquoise day
together with your true love and your friends

that white linen lawn
folds flying free
caressing your skin

despite ageing
despite frustrations
despite responsibilities
you know you'll always be
in the sun

muscle memory

in lucid dreaming
you come walking
across the quiet floor of waves
in your floor long
turquoise sea gown

dolphins' thought patterns
translated into fat silk
rippling wavelike off one shoulder

you remember with your bare arms
dreaming dolphins deeper
in your muscle memory
remember freedom
in your lightly curled fists

looks like solitude but isn't
it's your turquoise generosity

time

snow is falling
but you are not
you're wading knee-deep through it
with loved ones by your side

winter
you laugh and meet it
you'll still be wearing
your strong turquoise time

your spring was just young
your summer heated
your autumn stormy wet

winter
you celebrate it
you'll still be wearing
your strong turquoise time

snow is falling
you're wading knee-deep through it
in your mind's eye

winter
nothing can beat it
you'll still be wearing
your strong turquoise time

you'll still be wearing
your strong turquoise time
