Thunder

Thunder

thunder rolled in
from the south east
it roared as a wild
untamed beast

creatures took to
havens secure
as the ensuing tempest
did bring its demure

volleys of thunder resound
in our undulating terrain
within the next few minutes
there will be a torrent of rain

drops fall from the dark clouds
onto the landscape's arid cloak
their endowments of wetness
received as a goodly soak

the countryside infused
with a quenching drink
quelling the thirst of its
dry unfilled sink

soils bereft of dampness
for such a long time
jubilantly hearing the sounds
of a saturating rhyme

thunder heralded
this afternoon across the sky
bringing a downpour
as it passed by

The Fire's Brand

The Fire's Brand

the countryside is covered
in a blanket if smoke
bush fires are burning
in and around the Rhynie spoke

some thirty thousand hectares
of land have been fried
farms and parts of the National Park
burnt from side to side

the fire authorities are working
by day and by night
to encircle the flames
which so searingly bite

slowly they are winning
the protracted war against the flares
their fire fighting equipment
stifling the inferno's nightmare

in a few days the fire
shall be extinguished and put out
then the countryside wont be covered
in the smoke's thick tout

the air will be as clear as a bell
and less haziness will stand
as the ashes of the bush fire
shall bear testament to the fire's brand

longing

longing

Your velvet whisper in the night
As you serenade me from an ocean away
Banishes old hurts and slights
From the faded memories of long-gone days

Every morning when I arise
I just want to dream so I can join you there
And once again look in your eyes
As you tangle your hands in my hair

Just few quick lines about someone really special

Let's Catch The Moonbeams

Let's Catch The Moonbeams

let's catch the moonbeams
let's catch them now
let's catch the moonbeams
let's catch them now

let love anchor on the shining beams
let it flow through us as a crystal stream
let it stay till the end of time
let it ring within us as a dulcet chime

let's catch the moonbeams
let's catch them now
let's catch the moonbeams
let's catch them now

let love grow eternally in our hearts
let it array in each and every celestial chart
let joy be the wonder we'll get to know
let our affections always show

let's catch the moonbeams
let's catch them now
let's catch the moonbeams
let's catch them now

let our world be a place of love divine
let the planet's twosomes ever entwine
let love's song of endearing go on endlessly
let it rain its happiness so beautifully

let's catch the moonbeams
let's catch them now
let's catch the moonbeams
let's catch them now

Dogs Tongued (Dodoitsu Poem)

Dogs Tongued (Dodoitsu Poem)

as the searing sun did beat
upon the shearing shed's roof
the dogs rapidly tongued
in the penning yards
