filtered by laser strainer-
it has become a scale for judgment scaled by tier
a black hole of sin...

I want to tell you of my second Love,
Of a churchs' impact from heaven above!
I'd grown up in such a small church.
Yet small groups can make for gossip, and worse.

Not so with Shiloh; it was...

"When I stand with this silence
between us all, we are still never here --
and then I move and your whole world

Let me pause - and I will exist no longer, as much as

instead, a treasure chest of stranger things.
A marble grave, 1891, well kept

The long gone Manor House front Portico
and where the star...

Red nose and a big head of hair.
And the...

and the seas unruffled with its mirrored glaze
showing every ripple and fish that moves

Out in the heat of the desert
A ride to God knows where ! 
A ruined roman amphitheatre

How did a pirates hoard so...

I look upon Lady Grasmere, from atop Dunmail Raise,
as she lies in her amphitheatre of beauty unsurpassed,
mere language cannot express words powerful enough to praise,
to describe such a vision,such a total sensory blast.
This bejewelled goddess...

Portree

Portree the tiny Capital of Skye
A special place for you and me
We purchased our rings
That would join us together
But no idea had I
Of your intentions that day
As we walked
Admiring the beauty of Portree
You were planning

'O dreamy night 
  with wandering eyes
  you could not lie to me;
  deceive the drifts of snow
  with crystal glitter...

Like tender downs in a midnite hour
Not a stirring soul but...
