Our Place

To be alone

We found a place

To call our own,

A place so peaceful

Not far from home.

***

We sleep under the stars

Make love under the moon,

There’s nothing stopping us

From making love at noon.

***

We’d fish for our food

And camp on the ground,

Always up high on a hill

To ensure no crocodile found.

***

The Fitzroy River is the place

The place we call our own,

This is where we will always head

When we want to be alone.

***

The river is the place

Where our love will grow,

This is as definite

As the river that flows.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

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.
