The white Rose


copper coloured pots
and the chime of bells
a vast blue ground.
and lots of grass

the warmth of an ocean
the kiss of the nights
sweet drinks.
two loaves of bread.
and iced tea...
indulgent chocolate
lollipopped glory...
green and red..
and charming winds.


dickens and wilde
and a Christmas carol
and sheets of paper
saying "i love you".

weak spots and strong..
and whispered songs..
and a generous heart
that loves to share

the blanket of dreams and you and me
a word.not one.
go on and on..

the eye of the needle under the brown arch
white shirts.two.one long gone..

vague figures on the écran
Gable and fantasies and Scarlett hues
not tennis..but two sports shoes..

mighty winds of authority..
a one and a two..
an addled computer
going boink!boink!boink!

phone calls and giggles
Recharged Questions !
"I am serious about her!"
shared loves and lives.
a deep green pail
and herbal essences..

baked garlic and cheese
olives and those scornful
baby-corns
the sound of "would you like some more?"
hovering around.


the antique figurine..
big ears..cute nose..
and other wedding gifts..
stacked on shelves
waiting to be caressed and held.

chatter.pit-pat.
clatter.not clam.
and open mystery
to anyone who saw.

that binding vine of love...

sands of time..

picking up the silken threads of time weaving a coarse fabric textured like wind and sand moving on and letting go, when the journey of love is done. an episode so stirring so moving no time to think or tell just random thoughts and feelings wearing a mysterious spell; colours bright and sublime pots and pans clanging coins and desperate cries and joys that subside one step at a time gearing up for every move but when you look back at reflections all you see black white and blue... no broken hearts to mend no broken wings to sew falling on stones is easy but the red headed giants bear on.. --In memory of certain someones I loved and cherished

salty sentiments

the richness of its colour caresses my hands in lean long lines that define the path of my life a silk like vice around my throat a whole tin of dewdrops white and disillusioned cold and uncaring emotions that mean nothing and people who do. the world,my oyster. bursting at its seams clouded by misty rain a fear . solitude?loneliness?rejection? the boat has sunk. its treasures all lost and forgotten where are you when i need you so? the threshold of despair. and longing. molten.simple. clear as glass what have i come to? an icy hand . a spear of gold through my brain shivering .shuddering. split open.violated. what have i done? regret?loss? a game of the past? a legacy of hers lovingly piercing my thoughts with its sting of poison ivy what have you done? ruined.desolate.empty. standing at the altar of life begging for a little mercy. a soothing touch. two big tears salty sentiments.foolish. and a tombstone that reads- the curse of the black eye lives on. Even the mighty fall...
