I hear you in the silence
When all the world’s asleep
I hear you tap the window
With pitter-patter feet
I hear you in the whisper
Of trees that gently sway
I hear you in the wave song
Of horse-mane ocean spray
I hear you in the country
In forests and in glens
I hear you in the river
And on the boggy fens
I hear you in the city
Amidst the traffic noise
I hear you on the playground
With laughing girls and boys
I hear you in the spaces
Your visits left behind
I hear you in my heartbeat
And in the poets’ rhyme

Icarus: Favourite Love Poems
This creative collection, now in its 2nd edition, brings together love poems by Wayne Visser. The anthology traces love’s agony (“Broken Dreams”) and ecstasy (“Galaxies Cart-Wheeling”), from first blush (“Almost Strangers”) to full bloom (“Say ‘I Do!’”), as we fly to love. You’ve given me the gift of golden wings / The endless sphere of blue imaginings / The chance to rise above the silver clouds / The will to cast off untold ghostly shrouds / Don’t fly too high / Don’t rise too fast / Don’t tease the sky / Don’t taunt the past / You’ve given me the hope of warmer days / The blessed kiss of the sun’s fiery rays.
