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...

the last walk down street A

i turn. it follows as it always has. dark memory.buried deep. deep deep deep within the unreachable corners of the undecipherable world. a pretence . and love.in all its colours. tears.sobs.swollen promises. some more. and i know. what it never will. through the neon eeriness of la noche. like a dingy glove. a blast from the past. persistence and resistance and acceptance.and Deliverance will its soul respond? will it cry? will it remember? as i know. i will.

the shadows of freedom

Sunshines and moonlights and a milky stream the shadows of the morrow go blink blink blink... a pen a paper and a million lines. going one-two one-two ...three three three the raindrops on the window's ledge.. the weeping lilies of the night.. a corkscrew, a knife and a bottle of wine. a litre of water and a careless glance. powdered cheek and a painted nail. tin cans and soldiers all forgotten.. long live this freedom.. that love has begotten.

the depth of nothingness

abyss.plain.plateau.peak. Trench. pitch black.bleak.deep. the depth of nothingness. smouldering.melting. crystals of overwhelming red. flashes. and a mirage.. a garden in bloom. change and joy. needles .slivers and shards. glass.broken.hopeless. brown.desolate. a will to escape.and chains. pulling.insisting. with pleading eyes.a mirror and a soul. impatient tugs . the heart of a mortal. in its place a stone. buried long ago. a ruin. emotionless ..unfeeling.. and a lock. the base. a wretched loneliness.
