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...

Heartbreak hotel

Does it come with a warning? Or does it sound as brittle as the shattering of glass? Does it taste like despair on your tongue- ashen, dry and unpleasant? Or does it leave an aftertaste, bitter and nauseous? It's one thing to call yourself a beacon of strength and another to shed silent tears when no one's looking A failed attempt, and some more, and hope is washed away like by the tides of time. Corroding the light and heaping in darkness. A car Crash, a death, a black dress and mourning. is there going to be some light at the end of this tunnel?
