Our Earth Reborn

The sky pops.
And all the colours
Run out.
Like a balloon
At midnight.
Bereft of light,
The world waits
For the smiles of Heaven
To return.
As sunsets burn
In the cauldron
Of a storm.
Kept warm
Just by loving embrace.
The icy face
Of winter
Cracks
With the fragrant grin
Of spring.
Bouncing

December

Charcoal trees stand and wait
For ashen sky to dissipate.
Dispel
This spell!
Wizard on frozen pond
-Invisible skater.
Undulator
Of choppy seas
Wave your wand
And calm the breeze
That stirs with gale.
And call the moon
From frozen jail
To light the white We walk upon.
Reveal the night
Where torchlight shone
On open field.
And then be gone!
As snowflake melts
The snowmen cry

Wishing Well

Your smile
Blossoms like a flower
Capturing a second for one hour.
Then sprayed on the canvas of time
With the colours of verse and rhyme,
Painting the wind
That blew a soft chime
From a lonely bell.
Near a wishing well
To christen a love sublime.
Your kiss
The photosynthesis
To nurture such sweet bloom as this.
Soft tears of Heavens' fallen dew
Cling to leaf
To embrace anew
Our Eden
Under azure blue.
Where sunlight fell we won't forget
In shadow of a wishing well.

Hey

You have grace
Like a dove that flies
Into open skies.
And your face
Lit by beauty and loving sighs
To turn the midnight blue.
Hey, I wouldn't wish love on you.
You have style
Tears are dried
In the warmth of your smile.
You capture the lonely and lost.
Like evening sun kisses bitter frost
As you sit where Eden grew.
Hey, I wouldn't wish love on you.
You have dreams
Of never ending life
It seems.
Your dewdrops are lost
In silver streams
Yet heartache returns

Godsend

On a distant highway
I catch the sun
Ascending
On its morning run.
Lazy clouds
That fail to fly.
Now
Yellow balloons
With pink bows
Of sky.
I see you standing
In flowered white.
At my journeys end.
You,
My poetic light.
My Godsend.

On a distant highway
I catch the moon.
Flying beams

Earrings.

Earrings,
That I bought you
On Christmas Eve.
Sparkling in duet
With your eyes,
Hypnotise.
Fragrant candles
A festive spirit
Do weave.
As fireside flames
Chase hidden shadows
I fantasize.

With earrings,
You were adorned.
When our hearts danced
At our restaurant rendevous.
Blue, enhanced,
Like droplets
From your soul.

Darkness

Dressed in your scars
You sit in dark bars
Only lit by cigars
And false smile.
Your dungeon
Without standing trial.
You drink to her memory in style.
And as the Brandy kicks in
You allow a wry grin
For the joy
That you only stole.
As she dances
In the darkness of your soul.
And as you find
The lost eyes of an alcoholic
You'll bear the lies
And drunken promise that he preaches.
You realise that now your life
Is just shambolic.
To feel again

Going

Roads and life are stealing you away
Reasons fade for you to stay
But apple blossom memory
Of summers that were meant to be
Still sweet and your eyes still kind
Your laughter skips across my mind.

Reaching for your helping hand
Embracing thoughts is clutching sand
I would abandon faceless dignity
To have your smile reflect to me.
The sun slept, then rain swept
And you are going.

Change wields the knife that cuts our life
But i will cut you flowers
Though they will die the loving sigh
Will always still be ours.
And the tears we cry now
Will dry in the sun

Halloween.

Halloween
Eyes of green
Shine in the dark.
Swinging lights
And vampire bites.
What hides in the park?

The 31st
Expect the worst.
Broomsticks on high.
Banshees wail
Under moon so pale
As ghouls float by.

At witching hour
The blackest flower
Blooms on the streets.
The living dead
Are starved or fed
With trick or treats.

Fruit

You, in that lemon dress
Me, an emotional mess
But i broke out of my zoo in style
What else could I do
But smile
- You filled me with something better
I always kiss your letter.
When we made love
By strawberry field
Do you recall what we revealed
When layers of our life were peeled
And we lay naked in the sun.
We drank wine
From grapes of love
Oblivious to everyone.
I stroked your orange hair
With passion
Coloured by the sun
With fashion,
Changing hue with every hour
