Long Headlands Poems

Hidden beauty resides not in the grace like charms
Of coy smiles 
Painted across a gentle Madonnas face.
Nor is she vested within the chastened vows
Of saintly knights; encased Great-Helm:
Thus maketh the pale maidens meek pulse
To so...

molten times, volcanising immensity, vast plateau
  belly-belching landform
  oceans, shallow seas and lakes swell up and down
  land-bridging, submerging
  any one place moving astride, stutter-shifting
  continental drifting world

Here I am,


In the first fling of youth-

In what sterile field did I find this anti-fecund missive?

This stretching of a hand, drenched in rubbery black; accompanied by a smell; a sewing, cloying end-platform.

If I lean...

we are done with creeping along the shorelines 
prepare now to sail out across the Aegean
the winds are with us and Troy awaits!

I love my country
My people
Family
And friends
Thou I find
A need
To isolate myself
To protect them
And those
I wish to love

I love the
Locations
I place myself in
Those far 
Distant ranges
Open wide
Outback plains
And deserts
Deep
In rain forested valleys
Among waterfalls
Beneath dripping leaves
Golden sand...

So take my breath and devour my mind
This golden orb sails on drifting horizons designed
In its velvet cloth of endless sky it bleeds atmosphere
In whispered blues and grays on orange ceilings so austere

Rise Oh Sun!...

LOVE   FOR    THREE   WOMEN



In bays and headlands of my dreams I hear her sweet laughter:     
She strolls along the beach in morningtimes at low...

A man’s tale 

With mind control there he was,
A man for sale…
Hearing the vocal sound from this wordsmith, 
A man in his own tale…
Currently, he was sitting and calling upon the earth.
Prior rumors about his...

Shores of sand, stones and rocky outcrops
weather willingly the welts of tide, wind and waves.
Eroding away, absorbing, expunging the rage and torrent
A rope-a-dope clinch in the tight, belittling the fight,
Slipping the sand compliant back out...

Fishes are water-locked, or so it seems
But some fish can soar on fins as wings
They zoom up fast, bursting right through
    the surface, flying up into the air,
Soaring in gliding flight above...

Funny the things you find out
With a curious mind
And walking shoes
How beautiful
And priceless
The view
From atop the headlands
At Red Rock
Of course, the rocks are red
Jasper
I believe
But could be wrong
As I was to connect
The name to the...

THE LAMB'S DAY

Hills and mountains are bowing
Beautiful clouds are drifting
Overwhelmed animals are shouting
The sun is smiling,
while its heat cooks the sweet-scented roses
Changing the weather's aroma
Wait a moment,smell it,I guess you want to taste
The sea exhibiting...

Releasing the rigid anchor line
Leaving the safety of land in our wake
Warm July zephyrs filling the sails
Resting even hands upon the tiller
As the bow broken waves drift slowly aft
Herring Gulls night songs hang as we...

The wide sea swells with muscular power:
surges under thundering clouds.

Waves 
in chaos
rush and tower, 
careless of steepness, 
smash 
in whirls of foam,
slam
on slabs of rock.

Until
tiring,
sighing as
rays of sunlight slice 
a shredded grey sky,
the sea’s scaly...
