I was driving home late one cold Winters night
It was minus ten and the moon shone bright
Then in my car headlights a young girl I did see
I swerved hard to avoid her and hit a large tree.

Next thing I was standing in a cobbled street
I...

In moments of despondent spirits I turn to you,
the resplendent paradise of secret dreams anew.

The opalescent orchard orchestrates tender hopes,
like cuddling chrysanthemum my fading fear elopes.

Bursting bubbles of beguile blossoms sprinkle love,
frivolous faith nurtures nascent nest of white dove.

I find solace in sumptuous serenades through...

On a spotty, sprinkled day, at the Plott's house on the block,
A squatty Uncle Scotty had sent a polka dotted,  cuckoo clock!
The family said "That's handy!", and found a spot upon a shelf
For the dandy, new Swiss timepiece,...next to toddy mix and tea pots!

While...

Dear Kitty, with small paws tucked underneath
your furry chest – I watch you slumbering.
Instinctively, your sweet eyes open wide
as I lean in to study eyes flecked gold
with oval slits. I watch you watching ME!
I wonder can you see me. Am I just
a shadow figure? Do...

I knew a cat once named Peaches. He was an all-black cat, but not one of those that could be described like a “shadow”, never be named Bagheera, never moved like a “black bolt” or even be described as “mysterious”. You’d never mistake him for...

Emptiness seems paler, 
Within the wind and the movements, 
Echoes begin to creep in, 
Without a beat, beyond the warnings, 
The effervescence that once fueled my tools now sears my lungs, 
Collecting old shadows I left to rest from once upon a time, 
Colors are...

Join me while we doze off in a lavender field
Allow me to indulge in a few splashes of color
Hold these drips of yearned-for times in mind
to enter magical paradises with a simple slide.

and immerse yourself entirely in me
A teardrop slides and drips down your cheek
leaving...

KISMET
If ever the mind could decipher the mien of an intuited presence,
Would it insinuate that which is understood?
It is never a thing to perceive, that intuited presence that goes unseen.
Once it appears in audible form, it seems to grasp a shape from a line in...

..they swirl in swarms across 
the darkening 
skyline,

spiralling round the huge tree 
like a coiling 
vine;


they snuggle tight for the 
night at the 
canopy,

lansijang birds of Bohol 
doze off 
serenely.....

Sounds of the day?
Children at play.
It's summertime.
The weather's fine.

I'm at home with
me and mine.
It's piano time.
I listen to wind chime.

Cars passing outside.
Bees in their beehive.
Pigeons cooing in trees.
Warm summer breeze.

Clink of ice in glass.
Hope this weather lasts.
Music wafting from inner room.
My favourite piano tune.

Doze off...

the picture hangs in my study
it's gilded fame outshines everything in the room
I enjoy looking and  reliving that day
remembering....

the grass was prickly beneath my hands
blue sky made life worth while
I gaze with thoughtful frown
at the old grey house.
why does it sit in my memory
what...

Winter Night with my Dog.

Nestle in warmth with blankets abound on a late winter night.
With light from the flames of the fireplace flickering across the room.
Here with my dog cuddle by my side.
His eyes are closed with love and trust.
Outside my frosted window the wind...

Two days have passed and its not over
I'm still ravaged by my gory deed of inaction
Been praying to the gods asking mercy
To forgive me and grant me guts and to be swifter in action

I live in a country unsafe for women
Laws and its protectors are...
