Poems written by Nicholas Rowe, from the small island of Guernsey in the Atlantic Ocean.
Gradual hidden
mass scouring rocks – strong sunlight
flashing over black.
~
The world gently bends around
the silent water, my energy
draining down to the darkness.
~
Delicate branching
fractals crossing land, pouring
softly to the sea.
~~
Note: this poem is a spin off concept from the poem ‘Swept Away’ (Menu, 2018, Poems, Swept Away)
Icy floating star –
cirrus screaming across the
silent stratosphere.
We searched all day to
find a Christmas tree. Our first
day spent together.
~
There are fleeting moments when
the whirlwind stops, and silence pours back
in, just me, the cat, the tree.
~
Points of light pierce through,
I find myself again in
memories of you.
Silent word painting,
a few colourful brushstrokes,
then minds touch and smile.
