We All Are Gods.

You my Venus.
Me your Zeus.
Both rescued
From a swinging noose.
Our passions
Set loose
By stars above.
We all are Gods
When we play at love.

That panorama
Of a drama
Until the end of time.
Souls touch.
And hearts blaze
Yet burn
That whispered rhyme
Of earlier days.
We all are Gods
Flying down the freeways

Hate Love.

Don't you just hate love.
For what it's done to you
Won from you.
And only look above
As the future and past
Party together.
Tied to a mast.
Of love and hate.
The open
Or the closing gate
Matters not.
To strike the blow
Bare fist
Or in glove.
Brother persist
But know
Eventually
You'll hate love.
Don't you just love hate.
For lending an ear

Us

The butterfly in our soul
That we call love.
The climax of a symphony
From up above.
Our joy that runs
That once was lame
The flood of warmth
Just in your name.
Your touch so soft
Will electrocute
As my passion plays
The sweetest flute.
My heart now beats
Within your hands
How?
Only Cupid understands.
Together or no
I feel your kiss
No breeze could blow
Away this bliss.

Live

I like punks
And shopping centre drunks
Not monosyllabic spiel
from the learned
That never feel.
I like rebels
And kids with pebbles
Who skim them across a pond
With Harry Potter's wand
Watch crowds swiftly abscond.
I like Goths
And inner city moths
That wake up with the night
Who joke and swear and fight.
They rock man
Out of sight.
I like poets and artists cliques
Absinthe laudanum
Radical freaks
That dare to write what others just feel.

Pillow

Your words
fell softly
On my pillow.
I hear them.
Like a bell
Far out to sea.
Nobody
Can console a weeping willow.
Or a caged bird
Yearning to be free.

Your tears
Fell softly
On my pillow.
I feel them.
Like summer rain
Upon my tongue.
As God
Spins cotton candy clouds
That billow.

Blessings

I should be grateful
For the colours God paints his sky.
For the twinkle in my lovers eye
Even when she told me goodbye.

Grateful
For the kiss of the breeze
Moving bliss through the trees
With a perfume to seize
That dawning first light.
Such colours are these
That are swept in its flight.
Who afforded this dewdropp scent? .
Rainclouds applauded
Magnificent! .

We should be grateful
For lifes' plateful.
Stealing moonlit walks
Healing midnight talks.

Wishes

I wish that we could
Have one night.
Dance cheek to cheek
By candlelight.
You fill me
Like a symphony.
Thrill me
Like the moon
That lights the stage
As heaven plays
Our special tune.

I wish
For your lips to taste.
And never waste a word.
But to utter
Sweetness unheard.
And be free.
Like a solitary bird.
I wish we could walk

Invisible Love

Lady,
Though we have never met.
I see your face in each sunset.
Your words touch me
Like gentle breeze.
The sunlight filtered through the trees,
Is your warm embrace.
There is no trace
Of doubt.
My heart has just found out,
Your smile lights skies above.
I feel your eyes.
Our invisible love.

You wake and sparkle
Like dewdropp new.
Your loving sighs
Ascend in blue,
As moonbeams always speak of you.

Blue Song

Drifting on a lilo in the ocean.
Tanning with a 40 factor lotion.
Smoking a cigar
Now heading for the bar.
Baby, I'm oh so blue since you left me.
Hitting all the jazz clubs in the town.
Sitting, chilling out with Leroy Brown.
He's a bad man I agree,
But this guy's learning to be free.
Baby, I'm oh so blue
Since you left me.
Rocking with the guys at way past 3.
Rich women want their toys
Come sit by me.
Fighting back the pain.
But here's the sun
After the rain.
Baby, I'm oh so blue
Since you left me.
Wake in bed

One Moment.

Can I catch
A special word
In a butterfly net.
From a heavenly shower
Still
Silvery wet.
That would
Touch your heart
Like a purple sky.
Leaving angel lights
To dwell in your eye.

Can I capture
Chamber music
In the echo of a rhyme.
Of a true romance
From another time.
That would
Let you sing
Of colours unseen.
