And aged white lace, roams amongst the rocky sea shore, a 
Glittering phantom of beauty most fair, walking with an essence
Of smoldering evil and the...

I’m lost within his gentle gaze, swallowed whole in the bluish hews
Of old blue eyes, my heart melts within his tender gentle embrace,
This romantic bard whom speaks poetry without words expression!
Dancing moon lovers are we,...

So sadly now, these arms of mine, not finding you at all
Imagine Grace to be in doubt, that love is just on call
 
For fools who've never felt LOVE'S pain, known Flood from Heaven's rain!

Prologue to I Have Seen The Demons

There is a darkness, which dwells inside of me...
  one in which no light can dwell.
I wish that the powers of my spirit
could reach to touch the light...

A land of ice and snow, a picture perfect postcard,
It is here I walk alone, lost in thought, of glories utter

In the abyss of darkness, within caverns dark and deep,
Lies a hidden chamber, of...

At eases rest, he sits waiting,
The guitarist.
Withered arthritic hands,
Shake now.
His study gaze strains,
To read the noted page.
Thoughts drifting, pondering,
A gentler pace.

Traveling along destiny’s,
Long lost highways.
Castaways absent player,...

The Old Pier  (a picture poem)

beneath the boundary layer of air and sea
twirling vortexes of frenzied waters 
incessantly corrode 
the aging pillars below

the ravaged tired timbers emit 
anguished unholy screeching sounds
as ocean swirls beat...

I stood back from writing...
...only to look forward to a vacant cove underneath 
my creative splatter to call me into it...
.... I went to this secret place I call "Oi" and I found
inspiration once again...

(In loving memory of my big brother, Reg)


Right within my den
Calligraphic letters you penned
Surfaced as reminder of the love we shared

No negatives.

You do appear on wings of time
Like sun's penetrating light
In...

Big red buckets and yellow elephants
Standing on mice wearing pink flared pants
Oil filled puddles of many rainbow hews
And crocodile upholstered chapel pews

Armies of platform shoe wearing dogs
Wearing wigs made from living frogs
Thick carpets made of...

A crack of thunder splits a humid June sky,
shattering into millions of tiny droplets

a desperately needed respite from the early summers heat.

hands together wrench
separated by a trench
deal could never clinch

the only limits
of what controls tomorrow
are doubts of today

colors come in hews

out window peaking
saw someone out there sneaking
while rumors leaking

A pageant of seasonal beauty
Unfurls amongst deciduous trees.
Tawny leaves morph into reds and golds,
Unique to any artist's palette.
Muse to poets, sculptors, and painters,
Nature’s art inspires masterpieces. 

Color plays out like a rhapsody
Of subtle notes; in...

Spring starts the drip, drip, drip, of icicles,
as longer days of sunshine warm the air.
And people switch from cars to bicycles,
when the weather turns from freezing to fair.

Tulips, daffodils, and crocus bulbs sprout,
regaling gardens with...

 full of luminescent onions.

habitats sprouting at night over roof
tops on saint james avenue.

Nor placing hopes & wishes upon a star
but happenings long ago upon a...
