RENDEZ-VOUS
Our worlds
Inhabit the other's
With passion.THE BIRD
The bird outside my window sings with a cry,
Waking me from sleep early of a morning,
Then I rub my eyes and breathe out with a sigh.Autumn Haiku
Fleeting summer warmth
Golden rain of falling leaves
Harbingers of frostGENESIS
The Universe cried
Out of your womb
Woman.THE OLD DARK ROOM OF MEMORIES
That old dark room that lay partially forgotten,
Forgotten from mind not forgotten from memory,
Memory that if remembered left feelings of loss,ABSENCE
Don't matter you are not here!
Somewhere in the room
Your memories are hiddenTHE SILVER LINING WITHIN THE CLOUDS
I am a woman of 65 years -
I have lived a life of regret and tears;
I spend my days in a 'dream-like' state -PAST
Flashes of memory
Return to me when
False illusions feed my bad dreams,NATURE IN THE SKY
Sun, sun, you shine so bright,
Lighting all the people's lives,
Oh so warmly with your glow,LETTER TO MY DICTATOR
Thanks for throwing me out, old man!
It was a pleasure to meet you;
Pretence to a normal life,The Wonders Of Shape
Draw a shape...
large or small, round or tall,
all unique, all complete.THE COCONUT CRAB
Who stole my coconut from that tree?
What is that creature that I see?
Eight unique legs used in pairsSilence Versus Noise
Silence,
serene, tranquil,
lounging, thinking, dreaming,Dreaming Through Time
Do you know 'what is a dream?',
Really understand it?,
Engage in it...Attack
A shortness of breath
grasping at the breath of life
as heart palpitates.Sammie The Dog
Sammie the dog was thought to be clever
Cleverer than one ever did see
He could switch on the TV with his pawThe Fairy Encounter
Stories of a fairy fort
That were told around the camp fire
Blazing in the summer nightsEarning A Living
I live to work and work will pay
In rain or shine or boom or bust
To earn my crust and live and playThe Lone Warrior
There I was, sitting in a corner of the cold dusty room
The dusk falling, the angry clouds gathering
Casting shadows across the sky;Explosive Kisses
The Kiss of Life
To kiss as in those days
holding in an embrace;
