What is a dream A lapse in reality Clouds of what I have In a landscape unfulfilled Your hair in tufts of grass My body breathing Summer Our flesh swiftly spilling At the brink of dawn. What is a dream Regret and cigarette smoke A fever breeding deep In the layers of my mind Unremitting… Continue reading What Is A Dream
Sorrow sleeps against my window, Condensing into a murky fog. The verdant oaks that brought me joy, No longer seek to please the heart. Days of sun and restful smiles, Have prematurely fled my path. Most lovely flames have waned to dust Much love has failed to come to fruition. Should there be ache in… Continue reading Then There Is Losing You
Walk with me in the ocean breeze, Walk with me till our hearts can bear the weight of life together, The sweet scent of love is slowly withering, With years our inhibitions only grow, Before we reach that lonesome point of no return, Before our paths diverge to vacant shores, Walk with me to coasts… Continue reading Walk With Me
I remember you being plopped in the gardenSurrounded by a rainbow of potsYour feet fixed firmly in the growing grassHands dancing in a mix of soil and dungEach time I’d cringe you’d laugh your big-toothed laughA sight as rare as marigolds in MayI watched the troubles of life trickle down your faceIn beads of sweat… Continue reading Marigolds In May

As the warmth begins to plot its final escape, I watch the daisies distort under… Continue reading Love Without Release
The belligerent rise of a mid riff blouse, a slice of skin, the hint of spine – what causes scandal – the wicked hem of satin skirt, the threatening plunge of a v–neck shirt, deliberate failure to conform to established norm – what makes me defiant – disapproving nods, unshaken resolve, the cheek to never… Continue reading Lessons In Defiance
It’s great to have a view of a perfectly manicured lawn through chic French windows but then there is a certain unmatchable pleasure in the crude magnificence of nature which, I’m sure, no amount of perfection can beat. I’ve finally figured raw is far better than precariously tweaked – sometimes it’s good to let things… Continue reading Outside And Beyond
They who have lived so carefully all their lives will never know what it feels like to have summer running wild in your blood and they will never speak the language of the wildflowers blooming in your soul. To the prejudiced eye a feral heart is something far from exquisite and the wondrous call of… Continue reading Untamed Flowers
