Treehouse
Each weathered wrung
Of summer days gone by
Filled with memories still alive
Untethered adventures were left behind
In sleepy kingdoms far and wide
Where magical dreams lie
And put aside

It's true,
oceans worldwide
are swiftly on the rise,
as the glaciers and ice caps melt.
Global warming is causing climate change,
fueling forest fires and droughts.
And it is time sceptics
accept the fact,
it's true.
Believe
in climate change;
it’s happening right now,
there is no time left for debate.
We can’t afford to ignore this problem
for nature has assured us that
weather patterns are off,
despite what some
believe.
We failed
in our mission
to reach carbon neutral.
Progress and profit trump caution
and we’re now feeling the consequences
as global warming reshapes Earth.
Opting to do nothing
when it mattered;
we failed.
A Part of the Past Frozen in Time
You can
drive your whole life
not look upon the face
of harbingers in spring wet earth
Remembering the ephemeral warm
Mediterranean summers
clean petrichor fresh rain
bucolic life
setting
Yielding
a nostalgic
propinquity city's
efflorescence dress brick buildings
The epiphany of an old church as
it sings the echoes of erstwhile
Redolent warm feeling
Victorian
versed homes
Yester
years fine brushstrokes
Trees towering on the
outskirts of the demesne beauty
Unique, intertwined dalliance with the
farmed and the wild a wonderful
serendipity find
quiet hunger
of life

Where did your heart go did you leave it in the rain
Drowned forgotten bloated and with wrenching pain.
Lost from the sun living in the shadows wake
Time doesn't exist their lost love is the biggest mistake
Living on a memory never causing a stir
Searching for your heart catching a glimpse and loneliest blur
New love surrounds you to eclipse the blackest night
But you search onward always toward the forbidden light
Death comes for you and steals your once vibrant face
The mirror cannot reflect this soulless desolate place
Will you ever find it oh where can your heart be
Stuck in the tree of life with an arrow for all to see
With no life or love will you ever have another gain
Where did your heart go don't ever leave it in the rain
Restless
spirits traverse
ethereal pathways,
their essence a glimmer amongst
shadows. Dancing between life's denizens,
they remember: once they had lived,
and loved and dreamt. But now
they are mist and
restless.

Picture 1
Your eyes
tell a story.
There's something inviting;
captivatingly mysterious
about them, and they speak of tenderness.
The window to your soul, ajar.
You radiate sunshine, and
I see it in
your eyes

Slow down,
dear racing heart.
Take time falling in love;
you've nursed one heartbreak too many...
so don't fail by behaving crazily.
Slow down your tempo, and..
tread with caution!
I implore you,

Alone
devastated
by years of betrayal
my future feels like it's over.
Contemplating committing suicide
depression has me in its grip
weeping in solitude
suffering all
alone.
Absurd
to cry for love
and yet it feels so sad
watching desire suddenly fade
and passion's burning flame flicker out.
For what is left is nothing more
than a fantasy dream,
fueled by the
absurd.
Adrift
clinging to hope
I'm floating aimlessly
on the fringes of time and space
searching for the other half of my soul.
And the sharp edge of rejection
slices through fantasy
setting feelings
adrift.

Maidens
like dreaming buds,
grow with passionate dreams.
ponder ever in gorgeous thoughts,
giggle with those unblemished rosy cheeks.
pure, tender and innocent hearts,
equals to goddesses.
On earth, they are
daughters.

Lark soars,
A dwindling dot,
Into the clear blue sky
Filling the air with sweet music
Until the heavens alone seem to sing.
Your eye picks out a tiny speck
Trilling in slow descent
Until it lands.
Song ends.
