Can I

Can I
Take your hand in a place
Where this world daren't show its face.
Through yellow fields
Of unknown flora
Let the breeze blow our minds
As we climb
To our Aurora
In the sky.
Then pull the blinds
As we float by.
Can I
Bathe in the simplest tune.
Angelic choir
Over bluest lagoon.
Invisible,
Yet they paint the soul
In brightest colours.
The stars do scroll
To our pink moon

We Are One

If this blue earth reaches for the sun
And doves sail the breeze, so white and true
Then silver waterfall did run
As our hope lay with morning dew.
If darkest night is lit by creeping dawn
Bereft of flowers our gauntlet run
Both standing as the pistols drawn
Our tapestry would then be spun.
When breathing in the empty sky
Both hills and thoughts did mask our view
Years locked you from my loving eye
In grey room where all hopes were few.
If pain of heart on troubled road
Whispered promise like a mute
Lonely dreams on white charger slowed
Only by your distant flute.
As our emotions came undone
Small voice declared that we are one.
If your sweet kiss lingers soft with scent
As nightlights disappear from view

One Reason

My heart yearns.
Your beauty burns
In velvet moonlight bliss.
My soul awakes
My body aches
To taste your forever kiss.
No starlight could replace
The sunshine of your face,
Like bathing our hopes
In blue lagoon.
Fantasies merge.
Tender hearts may swoon.
When joy of love
From twinkling eyes
Promises no more goodbyes.
As lightning strikes
We realise
One reason to live.
Watch blue plume rise.
When scented caress

Aching In My Heart

The aching in my heart
Like sweetest kiss of scent
From love's bouquet.
As I fly into Summer sky
Of blue.
Wearing white robes of cloud,
And the touch of you.
That gift from the sun,
The smile in your soul
Warms me.
With sweet embrace, you await.
Wearing the stars
As only your eyes can do.
The aching in my heart
That buzzes like the promise of Spring
Across field of dancing flower.
Conducted by the breeze.
Swaying in the twilight.
And waiting for the moon's late hour.
To light their canvas in blue.

Ah The Trees

Ah the trees soothe the mind
Take time to breathe the air
With the breeze the puppeteer with touch so fair
- They duet, with delicate wave and muted joy
A minuet for bygone kings or tinker boy.
Ah the trees, I leave my madness
As I run through crowded street
Diesel perfume will never smell as sweet
-As the meadow kissed by the breeze
Conducted by the trees.
Finding childhood summers I had lost.
Or winter wood with decor frost.
Ah the trees, where we rest our eyes in shades of green
And butterflies now seldom seen
Flicker in the sun.
When your lips touched mine and we were one
Lost in the rat- race we would run.
Beauty now we find in books
Yet Mother Nature has kept her looks.
Ah the trees, charcoal black as tempests

To my love.

The starlight in your eye that never graced a night sky
Saved with a candlelight for i
Your touch, softer than gossamer wing
Like softest breeze caressing sunlit meadow
Yet the world could offer no finer thing
Than the sensuous tremble that you bring
The summer rain, the snowflakes' kiss
Will never feel as good as this.

When meaningful words are of no matter
you soothe and heal while others chatter.
And then the rush of bird in flight
Or shooting star in darkest night.
That aura of a Christmas choir
Flaming dreams of an open fire
The inner joy of romantic fate
Fall short of love we consummate.
Your laughter lifts me like the dawn
The childhood mirth that is reborn
Takes all my cares to fly away

The Aching In My Heart

That gift from the sun
The smile in your soul

With sweet embrace, you await,

The aching in my heart is you.
Oh, the aching in my heart
That buzzes like the promise of Spring
Across field of dancing flower.
Conducted by the breeze
Swaying in the twilight
And waiting for the moon's late hour
To light their canvas in blue.

Just Another Day.

To wake up
To the perfume of the morning.
And breathe in
Skyline of pastel shade.
The miracle
Of a new world dawning.
And to rest my eyes
In greenest glade.
Call me a dreamer
If you may.
But it is never
Just another day.

To bathe
In Summer
Like a lazy river.
Twinkling
En route
To the ocean.
Nature playing the flute

Tea For One

So you stir your memories
Of better men.
With your silver spoon.
A bitter tea for two.
Where are they now
The perfect few.
That put me to shame.
Your strut is lame.
Crippled,
Your knights in armour.
Rippled, dreams.
Remember Karma.
You
Who pledged me your life.
Warm kisses
But much colder the knife
As you stabbed me in the back.
With your ice cube words.
Emotion's all you lack.
Within your test tube herds.

Grey

We never thought we'd see the day
So many colours before grey,
Young knights, our swords flashed in the sun
But we'd fall on them slowly, one by one.
These days of practicality replaced our immortality
Then virile, drunken songsters would sway
Black humour, black hair now turned to grey.

We never thought we'd leave our era
Partners caught, then reeled us nearer
One french kiss, a promise at 'Top Rank'
Left breathless fishes on the bank.
Crazy haircuts, mothers were appalled
Cars out of petrol deliberately stalled.
Lover's lane kiss had us fooled
But Cupid's miss was overruled.
Black 'Mariahs' carried us away
Before our blues were turned to grey.
