By the highway near the ocean

March 19, 2022March 20, 2022 ~ sensualism ~ Leave a comment

I was walking on the pathway by the highway near the ocean when I saw a tidy park-bench so I thought I’d take a break As I sat there on the park-bench near the ocean by the highway I saw the shaded profile of a woman closing in Her hair was flowing freely – over … Continue reading By the highway near the ocean

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

one and one make

December 19, 2020December 20, 2020 ~ sensualism ~ Leave a comment

love may come to bother   and to wallow in the wind   yet when one persuades another   time travels to rescind   is this a new formation   of life with nothing in it   or a commotion meant to stray if one lets one within it

what matters

April 14, 2020November 29, 2020 ~ sensualism ~ Leave a comment

My willow wept for many souls That could not speak or reach To heaven’s hand - a sight (unseen) Yet let it be beseeched The bird spoke of a morning Overwhelmed – (so many thought) And when it woke the sunshine burnt The few (by heart) - they caught The few (by heart) they caught … Continue reading what matters

in time in time

April 5, 2020 ~ sensualism ~ Leave a comment

If life for nought is thought to be I offer ‘no’ as answer thus My every avenue will see A happy trail yet to void What to think of those who say Beyond this is nothing more What to feel for those who pray Be better yet in heaven’s gate The gate is open – … Continue reading in time in time

No matter where the sunset falls

April 4, 2020November 29, 2020 ~ sensualism ~ Leave a comment

Whenever fools may run amok A thought-provoking tune Comes to mind under the sun That blends into the moon What matters if not love my dear Enigmatically we seek Can there be doubt that enmity Creates a challenge to beseech Through all the years I live this earth And rustle and resile Me – myself … Continue reading No matter where the sunset falls

Inner glow

December 22, 2019 ~ sensualism ~ Leave a comment

I was thinking About something I’d forgotten Long before It wandered In my mind that morn’ Like it had been In store It came to pass I raised my glass And took a sip To say That everything And anything Would flow from it Today Reflected in – The glass revealed A woman’s Supple face … Continue reading Inner glow

Solitude

April 6, 2019April 6, 2019 ~ sensualism ~ Leave a comment

I stand above the solitudeOf life that brought me here I wonder whether time surpassedWill ever displace fear I run and jump for eptitudeAnd stumble as I wave I find a place to captivateAnd so I stop to save A feeling of a life to lureAnd languish in lent love By those who walk the … Continue reading Solitude

When life was young

There was peace one dayin a world where life was youngThere was peace that daywhen instruments would strumThere was peace the daywhen hummingbirds had sungThere was peace; said theywhen you and I would comeTo the garden bloomingin the land of graceThe flower - blowing - in the wind - beside your faceAnd when you asked;can lifetime slow … Continue reading When life was young

the bird with a whisper

February 8, 2019 ~ sensualism ~ Leave a comment

You are the bird with a whisperthat flaps before speaking The yellow blossoms of wattlethat grow in the Spring The hibiscus in summerthat blooms, unexpected and the hours of shadethat help to protect it and when I see colourI think only of you ‘cos you are the rainbowafter the rain the white cloud with sunshine … Continue reading the bird with a whisper
