Childs Play

Streams full and rushing
Young boy splashing
Wellies wet, dashing
Water lapping,
Small hands smacking. 
Face wet, dripping. 
Little boy grinning
Eyes wide, winning. 
Photo taken, smiling
Memories making.
Enchanting.

Attraction/Distraction

I was your distraction
Maybe you were mine
With satisfaction
I found you divine
Your my attraction
Right down the line
I carry you with me
Until the end of my time
Though you turn and flee
I'm sure your a sign
Beckoning across the sea

Red Wine

You mature in fine design
Become full bodied in time
Oh to open you like a flower
To drink you, savour
Place my lips on thine
Your body now mine
Take my fill, taste you
Sip on you, enjoy you
I fear you will be at your best
Now I am put to rest

Iconic

Your look so Iconic

Is'nt it Ironic

sub you maybe

don't you see

Men in deafeat

would fall at your feet.

Your beauty so vast

even lashed to the mast

your hair blown asunder

A clap of thunder

Sleep Of The Innocents

Look at them lay
Just for a day
Wrapped up in wool
Innocents so peaceful.

Away from it all
So little, so small
Not a mark made by strife
The freshness of new life

They ask not for much
A light loving touch
Warmth and protection
From life's intention.

Bag of Bones

Just a bag of bones
At which life throws its stones
Time passes, I hear them creak
If only they could speak
Ask now! Before it's too late
Of their life and fate
I hear them groan
Against life's pressure
Against others measure
Am I just a bag of bones?

Sold

In fields of gold
You pay your dime
My soul is sold
I gave you mine

Cold rain
Does not kill the pain
You drove me insane
But hear me not complain

I took the love you gave
Maybe it takes me to my grave
For you! I did try save
You forever I will crave.

Paintings by fliss IV Painted Words

You take My words
Brushes in hand
Blank canvas on stand
The curve of a woman
The strings of rust
The weeping guitar
In your brushes you trust. 
From my words you summon
And bring to life
The poems I write
Guitar fading 
Waiting to be held
Your art works amazing

Words

As the candlelight flickers
I sit and re- read the words
We sent each other
As my shadow dances on the wall
Like a inconsolable spirit
Looking for which way to turn. 
As the days get longer, and it gets colder your words warm me by tearing in to my mind and body.

Friend

Dear friend
To Me you send
Smiles
That last for miles
Words and laughter
For now and for after
With the lightness of your play
you brighten up My day
Even with distance of land
Hand in hand. 
We walk together
Through woods and Heather
Whatever the weather. 
Always a pleasure.
