So far behind me

You are every morning

but you always overtake me on the stairs

Wait for the moment

Perhaps you’re not coming?

A third of the way down

But you always overtake me on the stairs

Crawling, leopard-like or

Puma to be real

Tummy tapping step, as you

Swiftly steal the lead

and always overtake me on the stairs

No looking back

Just confident progression

shoulder blades assured

and body almost flattened

Cos you always overtake me on the stairs

Glistening blackness, 

With military precision

Sinews are stretching

Wait…is that you purring?

Cos you always overtake me on the stairs

She Sleeps

She Sleeps

The shadow that stroked

The Moonbeam from her cheek
Watched over her whilst
She did Gently sleep

And as her breath
Rose evenly in peace
A shining Curl
Was toyed with by the breeze

A dimpled smile
Upon her rose-stained cheek
She journeyed through
A magic Land-Mystique

A tiny frown
To Mar the sleepy head
As dawn stretched herself
To rouse her from her bed
