Ah Summer
Ah, summer
Holds me in its embrace.
That perfumed kiss
On the breeze
Winging bliss through the trees.
They dress so fair,
And jewels of sunlight everywhere
Dancing across that sleeping lake.
Drying dewdropp tears
As cooler dawn does break.
Ah, summer
Warms me with its unseen love.
She walks the meadow
As stars above
Tell me just to wait.
Our hearts will beat in time
With fate.
In the evening

Beautiful Yesterday.
Beautiful yesterday
Always comes
With that fairy
Of the sugar plums.
When we are alone
Wishing for things
That are gone.
Diamond rings
Those imposters
Where sunlight once shone,
Twinkle so cheap.
Yet
It is not then
It is now we must keep.
Forever begins at dawn.
Yesterday and tomorrow
Those unreachable twins
Still wait to be born.
Yesterday the fruit

Where My Princess Awaits
Breathless
I run through the trees.
That grab the night,
Drink the light.
Into a clearing.
Moonlight searing.
With its blue torches.
Scorches of romance.
Like pendants of love.
From above.
My heart guides me
To ebony gates.
Into an open field
Where my Princess awaits,
With welcoming arms.
And smiles revealed in starlit eyes.
Goodbye
To all goodbyes.

Neptune
Why do I love the moon.
Its pale eyes
And frail goodbyes
As it fades to blue
Too soon.
The softest beams
Does wrap, it seems
All romance
In cocoon.
Why do I love the sun.
Who brings new dawn
To everyone.
Brightest fellow in the skies.
He wears dark cloud as his disguise.
A kaleidoscope
That bleeds into sky,
That we call sunset,
Slowly waves goodbye.
Why do I love the stars.
That burn like diamonds

The Bridge Curly Whirly
Across the bridge curly whirly
Bowled the troll hurly burly
In search of the 58 bus
Anyone knows it comes not early
So the beast just grew more surly
And created a tumultuous fuss.
He shouted and ranted
As the wind turned swirly
He'd jump off and flatten them all
''I'll show this town! '' he screamed
To a passer- by named Shirley
They could hear his booming on the market stall.
So he stood on tip-toe
As a crowd gathered below
But was disheartened as night began to fall
A troll's promise he doth keep
His massive frame steeled for the leap
But wondered would the 58 show at all.
As cold as his mum's fridge
On that curly whirly bridge

Mrs Hermione J Dunsraleigh.
The sun shines as if it has just been born
Every bird composes a beautiful song
And a child's smile drifts across a warm breeze to me.
I see lovers hold the hand of security, a rare thing in this world
They grip it tighter, but love comes or goes as it pleases,
They can't control it.
People mill around the gates, the cars die on yellow lines.
Aunt Priscilla and cousin Pam speak silence.
I watch with radar concentration
feeling like an inexperienced knife- thrower.
I feel cold as the sun fades.
Morning off work, i cannot enjoy the free time.
My sister Janet and her husband Clive are here,
They exchange words, empty conversation litters the path.
The young child of Belinda screams at the man with the funny cloak
As people cry.
''Why did you let my wife die? '' cries Albert to nobody.

Special
I am laid bare.
Yet you are there.
Your words
Scented roses everywhere.
Heal me.
Only you
Can remove the dart.
Your comfort
Picks the shards
From my broken dreams.
I feel your spirit
As goodness gleams.
You are my sunrise,
Sunset.
You flow through me
In silver streams.
Swapping deep regret
With caress.
My emptiness
You fill like gardenia.

Into The Bin
Your silence revealed
The blood has congealed
That ran through your veins for me.
Your kisses that came for free
I pay for
In slow agony.
The letters I've written
Since I remain smitten
Yet no words could ever win.
That battle where I died
Blood and tears finally dried
Left this spectre pale and thin.
My soul that was her twin
Was cast into the bin.
I would have crawled on my hands and knees
For that hug to beat all remedies.
Time will heal said friends of mine.
Deafened by that silent night

Sorry, So Sorry My Love.
If I can put
The leaves back on our tree.
Colours
On the page of our horizon,
Before it turns.
Burns
With a flaming star,
Saying goodbye.
In the sigh of a sunset.
Or the rain
Of a blue monday.
In the courtyard of love's castle
I kneel.
To offer my heart
To a spangled canvas
Above.
Saying
'So sorry
My love'.

Showered
In the shower
Holding you close
Kissing you closer.
You moonshine eyes burning.
With unleashed desires.
A million soft kisses
Ignite
Our bodies.
With pinprick candlelight fires.
Quenched only
By the sweetest rhythm
Of desperate elation.
Such tingling sensation,
That cascades
In attempt to cool our fervour.
Burning like stars
Your cries
That will forever ring
In passioned dream.
As we cling
