The fish

Pisces swimming up and down
Pisces swimming round and round
Pisces swimming this way and that
Pisces not knowing where she is at
Tied together tail to face
Frantically swimming in this race
Where she is at nobody knows
Flipping flapping as she goes
Bendable and mutable 
She swims against the tide
She looks for something
With which hitch a ride 
Flowing with and against the flow
With each little splash 
She learns and grows
To calmer waters 
She does aim
To shelter in the lagoon 
From this tiring game

Ivy

I send a frond of ivy
Across space and time to you
I tell it very clearly
What it is to do
Bind us both together
To make a lovers tryst 
Creeping, crawling slowly
Deliciously winding round our wrists
Connecting to each other
Gently yet so strong
Enduring all elements
Holding together for ever long
Binding not constricting
Still with room to grow
So we may always enjoy
Each other's rosy glow
