Hammersmith Lives – Poem


Hey my sweetness

Hello gentle completeness

Subtle together with your eyes

Holding the breadth of a billion sighs

Shaking

Blossom

Kissing the Sea

Your lavender petals

Amidst the heather

The hedgerow

So scattered will be

And now we grow

So late in the hour

Hello my sweet

My gracious

My flower

Let’s bloom

And awaken the fire

The gloom

Of the gathering pyre

Dispelled

By the salt and the wind

Mid the maelstrom

Rescind

The cove

In the cliffs

Where curliques

Coriscate decorate

Virtues

In roses

Reliefs

Hello my sweet

My gentle completeness

Let’s come and greet

The fluttering fleetness
