planted some sweet and sour coated seeds
I grew free standing expressions and then...

That I will love you as long as...

The exuberant fire that burns within my soul,
In that first embrace of a lovers smile;

Her servant shall forever wish for her luminous,...

A Time For Us, Sonata

For our time has come when we walk side-by-side
and glance at each other with small talk and smiles
of deep thoughts of yesterdays
and not of things of tomorrow
as we both tighten the...

Dominica
Gawaine Caldwater Ross

We share melons and papayas
beneath a sun benevolent.
A salty breeze, the river is cool,
and the passion flower blossoms
are fragile but rich. We stroke
their fragrance and sip intoxication -
we slip a little further and
I...

a face like Van Gogh with both ears, though just,
as lost, looks about an empty room of challenges,
that is built high on lost convictions, drowns in a,

Family
You unleashed the love I always carry in me
My own flesh and blood
My endearment within but an ocean not a flood
My being and centre of gravity
That's who I am 
That's my...

COMIC REDEMPTION

Once when that black ice cloud confined me again
Penetrating mind and heart, freezing all aspiration
Taking me below resentment fear or pain
To a hopeless state of dull weary enervation

I heard a voice that transformed my...

Breeding the champagne elite with seamless execution
Exclusively tailored for the clotted cream of the crop

THE BARBERSHOP QUARTET

The barbershop quartet, mustache brushes in hand.
A Capella joviality, with torquing wrists, snapping fingers.
Bristles foaming, silky white and smooth, voices grand.

Dapper in their pinstripe suits, hats — Delmonico brand.
Sweet Adeline, drawn out. ...

Upon glimpse of horizon when rainbow colors sprout
A tiny fawn scurries, emerging from its stealth hideout 
Strolling beneath falling petals of crepe-myrtle flowers
Glinting rays of ruby-sun through waning rain showers.

Illuminating breezing prairies golden twilight thrills

While we slept, I later visualised him creeping around like a mouse
Many materialistic and one personal possession he gathered into a large crate

THE GIFT OF LOVE

I know that life is agleam.
Incandescent is the word used.
You are from the time of little people.
You empower to keep the peace.
No one can define the world quite like you.

Much Joviality Reigned on the decks 
of Stortebeker’s Cog
In the days of the Hanse the men would dance, 
on the planks of Stortebeker’s Cog.
And their Captain Klaus lived as in his house,
on this Stortebeker’s Cog.

An adjustment of ageless allure,
Buzzing bees, chirping birds,
Conversations confused, girls play coy.
Disconcerted; demanding; desire.
Early stages evolving each day,
Form like fiddleheads frolicking free.
Geographically girls giggle and grow.
Heartache upon heartache, puppy loves. 
Inquisitiveness highlighting “I.”
Joys and joviality...

Sorry, no graceful way to say his....
Your friends and family under green grass lie.
Body filled with odious pride, the hand of death shall pass you by?
As self inflicted hideouts lie.

No adoring prince, family nor money...

Fairy
If you dare trip to the woods tonight
You will have the best time of your lives
For down in the woods beneath moonlight
Expect a spectacular surprise.

As every teddy bear who’s around
Will surely be there, don't miss...
