deep wounds that leave scars
one moment much more must flow -
shadows from the soul
her tears in silence
the strong arms that held her up -
in the thoughts and deeds
please do not grieve more
and afterwards remember -
pearls of morning’s dew

Syllable : 5-7-5
In those bleak fields that so quietly lie - stilled as graves,
Between where the thin wind creaks and upwardly heaves,
Unseen feet can sometimes be heard
Shuffling through the old woods discarded leaves.
For i have seen those strange distant lights
That detach themselves from heavens spilling crowds;
When dropping over the blindside of the little ridge
They rise to leap from cloud to cloud.
Impossible angles of inexplicable darting momentum -
Inwardly gyrating wheels now ingeniously turning;
Marvelous these the strange crafts of unknown design...
Yes - I have seen the night skies burning!
For well i remember as a reckless child
How i stole out to ascend that one forbidden hill:
Cast deep plans, set the clock ticking accordingly,
Rose, wrapped myself against Novembers raw chill.
Deep inside the Beech-hanger the Plough was struggling,
And over the despairing holt a devisive breeze...
As, of a sudden, on the edge of swirling darkness -
Showered particles upon vapourous ethers so violently seized!
Oh the hissing bolts of sizzling electrons -
Brilliance of colours like a dying meteors last rites!
Anti-Graviton paradox of mastered equational conundrum
Igniting the latent freeze within winters sharp night.
Radiant orb held aligned by polar-opposites forceful lines,
Spinning upon a singular point with such consummate ease;
Roaring furiously liken fabled dragon of Arthurian legend,
Hot breath licking across lines of illuminated trees.
Momentary seconds that crept alongside an age enraptured
Amidst tumbling thoughts of - "Just another Alien abductee"!
Then, gently tilting starboard, accelerating smoothly away,
Vanishing over the stacks and tiled rooftops of nearby Walton-Lea.
Often have i wistfully pondered in ever hopeful, watchful years:
What was it so witnessed as it hung before me in suspended flight?
And - with many cramming thoughts - groping for answers sought -
Recalling the wondrous moment of such an awe-inspiring sight!
magnificent sky
captivated by beauty -
as cherry blossoms

~ experience the life cycle - through hope,
perseverance and the beauty of nature ~
quote by poet
walk through the meadow
heaven is under your feet -
a soul that blossoms
the clover blooms red
butterflies in herb garden -
poems need spices

flames of crystal ice
the aura of purity -
backlit by sunlight
of dizzy autumn
in dark honey reflection -
were kissed by plum lips
Small drops ... mouth running
molecules in the bottle
Moan of blood and sweat

Charmed by its beauty
Hear a sweet whisper of love
Shiny fake diamonds
~
Pink lips temptations
All these broken promises
Perpetual lie
~
Truth like grains of sand
Beyond golden cornfields
Something very pure

Thousand and one Nights
Gothic and Romanesque rose
I call to the Earth
The Moment has come
The Choice is no longer mine
By goodness and Love

The graceful ballet
My work almost completed
The gloomy gray sky
Explore your shadows
Allow yourself to feel joy
Fear of loneliness

Poem of the Day 16/01/2021
Swan Lake
Toes ache
Can't sleep
Count sheep
Eat slow
Don't throw
Won race
First place
Do crime
Serve time
Drink gin
Room spin
Keep fit
Don't sit
Up late
Bed waits
Cold spell
Wrap well
Don't smoke
You'll choke
Don't bore
They'll snore
Drink wine
Cloud nine
Black ice
Think twice
Good wife
No strife
Aim high
Touch sky
First kiss
Don't miss
Dry plains
Need rains
Red rose
Pleased nose
Beach girl
Heads twirl
First night
Stage fright
Written 2nd July 2020
