I happened on a stranger

April 5, 2021 ~ sensualism ~ Leave a comment

I happened on a stranger With a smile that said friend And struck up a conversation Mixed with laughter and no end Her face was warm and glowing Like the sun on sparkling sea No sense of grief or sorrow Only merriment and glee I had nothing to give her But simple innocence aglow As … Continue reading I happened on a stranger

sipping ouzo at sunset

February 14, 2021 ~ sensualism ~ Leave a comment

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 … Continue reading sipping ouzo at sunset

i walked the road to nowhere

December 12, 2020December 13, 2020 ~ sensualism ~ Leave a comment

i walked the road to nowhere not knowing where to look whilst rooftop terrace by the pool heard silence from the throng   i waited – waited – and some more bewildered (without leave) the road ahead a solemn black i had feared far too long   and then it came – after event astonishment … Continue reading i walked the road to nowhere

When is on(e) one’s sole design

November 28, 2020December 6, 2020 ~ sensualism ~ Leave a comment

When is on(e) one’s sole design when others leave the field what entices them to leave when sunshine stands to yield Could it be less than life itself could it be more than sure what comes of thee when running blind what lends one to want more Bring the budding (flow)er seen to bloom in … Continue reading When is on(e) one’s sole design

epithet

November 21, 2020December 22, 2020 ~ sensualism ~ Leave a comment

A darker scene one cannot bear A lighter mood in time A willow lends its leaves to thee To prosper life divine A brooder cannot bear to see A smile’s eyes conspire A window opens unto me To lift one from the mire A thunderstorm breaks cloudy sky The sunshine’s heat collects One door closed … Continue reading epithet

the shallow lake

August 16, 2020November 29, 2020 ~ sensualism ~ Leave a comment

I stand beside the shallow lake The water fading fast And hark back to times of yore – They seem so far apart They were days of laughter and of joy Replaced by solemn face Reflected as the water fades Distorted – fading grace The face I see is old and gaunt The face I … Continue reading the shallow lake

Enough

August 9, 2020November 29, 2020 ~ sensualism ~ Leave a comment

They had it all - but nothing as well (Unable to finish a single row) They had everything - and nothing to tell A little time lived a long while ago They had what they wanted but not what they saw (Desire reaps envy in all that they yearn) Avariciously craving for more than can … Continue reading Enough

Somewhat wobbly

I stand, somewhat wobbly, on my feetThe morning post the night beforeI haven’t had enough to eatA liquid diet (need some more)I down a glass in earnestnessAnd sense objection in your eyesDon't rid me of my pleasantnessOr you’ll regret what you decryWeakened, I sit on the couchAnd watch a bit of Morning ShowWhat did he … Continue reading Somewhat wobbly

Surreptitiously

August 8, 2020November 29, 2020 ~ sensualism ~ Leave a comment

Surreptitiously hang overhead From one - the lesser portion Like when the thunder breaks the cloud Delivering distortion   Distortion stays – extracts the fray The lesser light is shining Deflect away as if to say Your thoughts he will define them

Limerick XXII

June 28, 2020November 29, 2020 ~ sensualism ~ Leave a comment

There was an adventurous fellow called Willy He hiked a mountain he felt way too hilly He got to the top Thought; shit, what a drop What an old silly-billy was Willy
