Poems by Nardine Sanderson

The most beautiful dreams come from a broken mind, a mended heart

the souls light, in hopes
Restoration

I paint with my eyes
A doorway, a stairwell

I openly walk with words at my feet, and kiss blank pages while blushing

I skipped across the fresh cut grass, to catch a glimpse of your laughter

Caught in little Polaroid moments imbedded on my skin

A keep sake tear, in a salt jar by my bedside

I cried with joy that you loved me, and wept with pain upon your leaving

But gave life a new name
Momentary breathing

Oh, why wispers stir so
The poetry in my soul

To have, and to hold
A cherished thought

To create and master like arrangements of time
– compared to the moon

It’s always the moon
The star’s, the shimmer and shine

It’s always you, his heart and mine

Like death froze the lake of fire, but designed desire in multiple ways

Because I love you inside the stillness, in silence
In memory’s breath

I love you in milestones
And emptiness

I have a great yearning to dream his dream
Reach every single star above

And place there upon them, like little murals
Crystal stems of love

I miss the Roses, the pretty thorns
A once pricked finger
To bleed, I miss the way my heart reacted
Like a million horses
A stampede

If I love you back to life
In books, in papers
With my pen

I hope with all this dreaming daily, I’ll see you once again.

Where do you wonder

My lover my friend

I’ve walked the boundaries and come to an end

I’ve turned a mountain

And lifted a stone

Here is where I found me all alone

I’ve searched through old memories kept by grace

 And still I long

for your sweet face

I know you’re in here

And dream to be found

My angel my lover

You fly above ground

My heart is eternal

I cherish and hold

The light of your halo

Your wings made of gold

Our love everlasting

Each moment in time

The stairwell to heaven

Your feet met to climb

I’ve danced in the shadows

To the music of soul

within your blue eyes

My heart beating whole

One love to another we burnt like a flame

Two stars in a galaxy

That needed no name.
