Perfect Couple

"Perfect Couple"


He was the fire from distant skies,  
With storm-born soul and ancient eyes.  
A sailor turned sage, bold and wise,  
Who walked with gods and heard their cries.  

She came like twilight on the sea,  
A hush of grace, serenity.  
Soft in her step, strong in her gaze,

Cyprus Travels

Holiday time took us down the Med
to spend it in lovely Cyprus no less
there the sun did shine every day
shorts and t-shirt was the regular dress

On arrival, I had a bit of a scare
couldn't find my passport was in a panic
finally after 20  minutes found in moneybelt
then peace prevailed was no longer frantic

There were

Wintertime In Cyprus

Days are short and nights are long,
We no longer sing the summer song.
As the nights draw in, log fires burning,,
Going out at night has lost it's yearning.
At home we can enjoy our meal,
Cooked in love, it has its appeal.
Both now sated, a glass of wine,
In front of the fire we rest supine.
The coldness of night,the

To Cyprus

I know an isle, to Love the long-lost home, 
the sea's white waves, the sun's hot rays caress. 
Necessity, that most cruel fate of all, 
has banished Love, yet may not quite suppress 
the present fragrance of a sacred past. 
On Trodos, pines still keep their sweet incense. 
The while it lasts, no honeymoon can

Cyprus

Dedicated to Eileen who has expressed her love for this beautiful isle.....


Roman mosaics and Phoenician tombs 
Byzantine castles and Venetian walls 
Pine clad mountains and valleys full of blooms
Windswept wild beaches raked by sudden squalls
Vineyards lay across the land like green shawls 
An island of custom and tradition
Yet this stunning land lies in partition
Churches to

Life In Cyprus 2

We've got flowers and trees and Bees that sting
                and quite a few other creepy crawly things,
                We got rocks and weeds,a little waterfall,

Stormy Day In Cyprus

Went out to the overtures heralding a stormy day,
The cacophony of thunder and lightning display.
Rivers of rain came pouring down from the hills,
Overflowing from the drain and the gully.
As folk to shelter they quickly did scurry.
Snow on The Troodos, so I was told,
Will help fill the dams as the winter unfolds.
Cosy and warm as I

Life In Cyprus

Life in Cyprus,
Idyllic I would suggest,
For each day is filled with 
Everything we hold dear.

Inspired by good friends,
Nice people we meet

Coming from all different places,
Youngsters, to our delight are
Pleased to sit and chat with us in the 
Relaxed atmosphere of the Taverna at night
Under the soft light of a
Star studded sky.

This is my Cyprus.

Chilly Cyprus

In a land that boasts
You can be warm as toast,
Because the sun shines here,
Every day of the year.

Today the opposite is true,
My fingers are turning blue.
The heaters on high while I watch TV,
Bed is inviting it seems to me.

Sitting here wrapped up tight,
In a sleeping bag, what a sight!
Hot water bottle ready and hot tea

Gap In the Leland Cyprus

Open the eyes of my heart
As open as the space
In the Leland Cyprus
Let the gap see truly thee

Open the eyes of my heart
Let the spirit flow inward
Filling to the overflow
Let me have compassion

Open the eyes of my heart
Let the spirit flow outward
With love, tenderness
Caring  and concern

Open the eyes of my heart
Seeing all the world's

The Cyprus Knee

For those of you who city dwell.
A painful tail I have to tell.
And I mean T-A-I-L .
Not that I mean to yell.  

How many of you are familiar 
with the Cyprus Knee.
It’s just a little bittie Cyprus,
small as can be.
I mean, if it gets any taller
you would probably call it a tree
not a knee.
