bright little pearls
sparkling white in an arc
i love your smile

i love women
they are so fascinatiing
captivating
seducing and challenging
to my body and my mind
a world without them would be
a tragic and empty place
which i would want no part of
i love women

your eyes are deep blue
i thought they were true blue
but now i am blue

hammer strikes and sparks
jagged streaks spilling down
dark black anvil clouds

bright, clear, dark brown eyes
looking deeply into mine
a smile grows within
her free and warm acceptance
touching, comforting me
gently inviting

consumed with desire
i toss and turn all night
you make me crazy

i think i am a
fatalistic optimist
accepting what comes
but in love with the process
i know the value of life
and the lessons to be learned
i try to stay positive
with a clear and open mind
so i can learn my lessons
with objectiveness and truth
and it is my firm belief
this will make me free

i twist and i turn
fast within life's chrysalis
developing wings

rain beautiful rain
washing away my heartache
hiding all my tears

cupid's small arrow
is a fly speck compared to
the axe of lost love

do you remember
the sweet love and dreams we shared
back when we were one
a sacrament within our hearts
our love was pure and was strong
we held each other in our arms
we laughed and cried till the end
But now you've gone far away
and we are no longer one
it's sad that our love has died
But I regret none of it
the memories of what we had
the little things and the big
they make me smile, laugh and
sing hallelujah

cold clear winter's night
spooning neath the counterpane
a fever rising

sweet sugar candy
your luscious deliciousness
that pleasures my tongue

a strong gust of wind
clouds of leaves spiral upwards
sandwich boards fall flat

you cut me deeply
with your dishonest love
now i'm bleeding out

do you remember
lying on the green green grass
dreaming together

looking right at me
you exposed a comely breast
a blithe seduction
driving me to distraction
letters falling from my hands
at a total loss for words
scrabble forgotten

large green eyes
honey coloured hair
and cherry lips
she moved with cool grace
dressed in a jump suit
that clung to her curves
like sugar to pie
looking as gorgeous
as queen Marlene
of the silver screen
and when she did speak
her words flowed softly
a swiss german lilt
so i engaged her
in conversation
for two years

a gentle rustling
a blur across the sidewalk
a bumblebee mouse

snow sparkling, drifting
down through the darkened wood
a grouse drums, unseen

you lied to me
so very many times
i forgive you
for i can see inside you
and the pain that burns there
horrible wounds incurred
as an innocent child
please understand these truths
i am afraid for you
i am not judging you
i will not desert you
i will always be here
and i love the real you
but i have my rights too
and at this painful time
i need respect and truth
and solitude

pink coral petals
spreading softly to my touch
the warm scent of musk

She was exquisite
sandy hair and turned up nose
a waterhouse nymph
standing infront the fireplace
in a diaphanous gown
her silhouette flickering
beckoning and calling me
it all seemed a dream

is eternity
ever growing boundlessness
expanding unseen
and what of its inversion
is that exponential too
is it all twisted and warped
tied throughout with cosmic strings
full of many dimensions
or is it unknowable
a schrodinger's cat

snail tracks glisten
across the paving stone
flowers missing

don't be afraid
everything is a risk
in this wild sweet life
there is no hiding from fate
take the risk to live life free
and follow your heart and go
out into the universe
on the pathway of your passion
but please always remember
you are surrounded by risk
so hands up and surrender
and get on with it

tell the truth
but always remember
to be kind

oh i love you
there is not any part of me
that disagrees

When i was a boy
i sailed through a world of dreams
and now i am old
but i still feel that wonder
and the magic of it all
floating in a  miracle
little ship of dreams

it is important
to have all our emotions
and freely visit with them
to know them, to respect them
and to tell them only truth

i love your body
its sweet topography
and sublime measure
i love your colouring
so pleasing to my eyes
and perfect for your form
i love your silken skin
and its electric touch
that always speeds my pulse
i love the way you move
your femininity
a poem to my heart
i love your voice's sound
its rising and falling
no sweeter song exists
i love your sparkling eyes
full of wisdom and fun
so beautiful they are
but most of all my love
i love wondrous you

i am just a fool
guilty of loving blindly
with all of my heart

I once new a man named Tom Wylie
Who had a wife named Al he prized highly
From Saint Helena to Dar
They traveled so far
That the sun burnt their wits quite dryly

coyote eyeing me
standing near a stop sign
mangy, calm and cool

where are you my love
so longed for and so welcome
where are you my joy
my consort and my lover
where are you my closest friend
my intimate confessor
and sweet keeper of my heart
where are you hiding

and the truth about
behavioural management
though never implied
is that the behaviourist
is equally affected
bad for bad and good for good
for we are all plastercene
everything leaves its mark
and we are all flexible
and easily remolded
for bad or for good

look in the mirror
and see something wonderful
somebody to love

misleading yourself
editing reality
is a slow poison
try to see things as they are
the biggest loss you should fear
is losing yourself

beautiful woman
you have broken my heart
and sold him your love

an ice cold raw day
crystal clear and starkly lit
and i had to be

swimming slowly
starfish below, stars above
underneath the moon
gliding through still warm waters
my wake spining reflections
across the deep velvet night
as i cross the black lagoon
searching for the shore

a log on the beach
trapped upon rock and sand
waiting for high tide

Sometimes we suffer
and are overcome with grief
emotional pain
impossible to ignore
it consumes your conciousness
incompacitating you
******* the life out of you
try to see it from outside
and accept your emotion
understand your suffering
with compassion for yourself
like you would for your lover
that tender and that gentle
that sincere and devoted
then you will find bliss

red light, green light, flash
bounce go rockabye baby
on the cross town bus

You gave me your love
i wrapped it within my heart
but now it was gone
and i wondered how it was
ripped out of me and stolen
without me even knowing
as i dropped down to my knees
hemorrhaging from my heart
no reason given

"why is that door closed?"
"because the room is a mess."
you opened the door
and skipped across the floor
and bounced onto my bed
"You have a comfy bed!"
and so it began

windy stormy day
murky brown raging river
turns blue in sunlight

yellow moon rising
above the cobalt massif
quails in golden grass

little grey moth
on the windowpane
seeking the moon

My heart was stolen
by a beautiful woman
she taught me to love
like i had never before
and i lost myself in her
living off the beauty there
wanting and asking for more
but she could never commit
and that is how it remained
for many wonderful years
but due to outside pressure
our lives were pulled asunder
i lost her to family
to money and to power
now i am down for the count
but i will get right back up
happy for what we did have
it was a wild crazy ride
and i love her for all that
so i wish for her the best
and i will always owe her
my undying gratitude
for sharing with me completely
her mind, her soul, her body
her beauty as a woman
every detail of her
a sublime intimacy
singed into my memory
you taught me about myself
and plumbed my capacity
to care and to empathize
and to take a chance on love
to that end i still remain
an unrepentent sinner
a believer in true love
and willing to take the fall
whenever love calls
