One stands before the dancing sun that glistens in the sea Remembering green, yellow, blue and knowing where they’ve been And where derived a vision (clear) – so eloquently chosen And why we delved in other’s fear – ties never to be broken The sun is spring the earth is dust the petals strike anew […]

The envy of mi sun
Oh leaf, oh leaf Become a bud That brings promise with ease Oh bud, oh bud Become a flower Yearned for, cherished, seen Flower, flower Blooming bright – Rest your head on mi Flower, flower – Wilting kite – Oh, mortality! Oh water mi Sweet angel Day after day goes by Oh water mi The […]
Dread
He was sitting on the sofa watching football when she entered standing right beside him in a sundress and high heels She waved her wan goodbyes leaving just her own reflection – the reflection of a fetching woman in the bosom of his mind He sat there blankly staring at the nothingness beside him as […]
An envelope poem
In the corner of an envelope Pinned tight against the wall Minuscule but mighty Two inches captures and enthrals Reading like a scrap of scholarship Like an enigma rising Striving for its own simplicity A like mind left surmising A fragment borne of intellect A fleeting moment thwarted Crossed out – re-entered – rhythmic sense […]

It had been a cold and lonely winter yet the sunlight followed her like a spotlight – and her face spread joy like an infant child Racing between thoughts of yesteryear and the here and now – she pondered over the love she knew (once – and long ago) And the happiness that traced her […]

Lazily staring Into the sun He sits and he sits Sipping ouzo at dawn Under the shade Of a tree bearing gifts On the hill near the house Where his Grandpa was born He wants for nothing but time Spent on the hill Remembering love-songs Sung to his wife Now he picks olives Strumming her […]
Merriment
I lived a life of merriment Within my mind – Spinning back and forth And up and down – The inner world of fortitude With solitude beyond – My window spoke and shared My thoughts – subverted – The drawer held life-like feelings Lost – diverted – Felicity and sweet parades And boats out of […]
thoughts of yesterday
The lonely mind lay on the bed – Reliving thoughts of yesterday What brought me here – Why have I travelled so How stoic was my time From there to now The window flew – the valley ached Yet the river told the story Streaming of a road I’d travelled less The road that led […]
