More Than Anything
More than anything I’ve ever known
More than sleeping in on weekends
More than any precious gemstone,
More than roast for lunch on Sunday
More than anything I’ve ever known.
***
More than receiving a birthday gift
More than a warm day on the beach,
More than reading my favourite book
More than the smell of a fresh peach.
***
More than laying in my bedroom
More than listening to a storm,
More than lazing in the sunshine
More than a bath that’s warm.
***
More than a hug from a friend
More than dancing in the rain,
More than a fresh cup of coffee
More than a ride on a steam train.
***
More than a deep belly laugh
More than a delicious meal,
More than a call from my Sister
More than a bowl of hot oatmeal.
***
More than a healing massage,
More than a boat ride at sea,
More than a pretty rose bud
More than a hot day’s cool breeze.
***
More than all of the things above
More than anything I’ve missed,
I love you with my heart and soul
Ever since that first breathless kiss.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
