As yet another strand is cut
I wonder if it’s time
I wonder if the web will hold
Or steadily untwine
And yet we have the choice each day
To spin another thread
To spin a world that’s beautiful
Or give in to the dread
For ropes of life and bonds of love
Are possible to weave
Are possible to recreate
If only we believe

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.
