A Message from My Mother

In a dream I saw my mother welcoming guests into her home.
She had been expecting them and had been busy preparing and organising everything.
She rushed to greet with open arms and...

Rumination on the ruination of water

A pleasant clearing with lots of grains
but only a touch of water,
the trickle trailed through transparently
and so the migrating chickens stayed,
but as the flock expanded there emerged 
the problem of...

In a world where dreams are rakish and quixotic,
Where quiddity seems extravagantly chaotic,
A chivalrous soul dares to be different.
With a heart that beats fervently, so magnificent.

Romantic notions dance in their minds.
A visionary quintessence they find,
Chimerical...

STARRY, STARRY NIGHT

I often look up towards the sky at night,
And wonder who or what is there,
I shout out loud, if you see or hear me, I love you,
I do this every night, the starry...

The swell and surge of surf 
whispers tinnitus conched
on titanium sunken tankers 
that rock restlessly on far reef,

as children play unheeded
building imagined bastions,
nursery rhymes drown
turning back cnut tides.

I spin and curl,
witless I puzzle over
a timeworn conundrum of self.

being its usual endless blunt toothed saw. 
The body belches and rumbles
as it tirelessly works to produce

consents to talk with me awhile.

as it tirelessly works to produce 
the odd snort or snore.

Trees shed their leaves
red gold and yellow
Autumnal moods
translucently mellow 
Morns feel cold
a bite in the air
Hedgerows laden
with winters fare 
Squirrels muster 
their winter larder
hiding their cache 
so full of fervour
Whilst Hedgehogs
rummage through 
piles of logs
‘tis...

Porcelain and Onyx
Free verse

His Agile fingers float across 
The faces of porcelain and onyx
Translucently releasing a glow

Firing the atmosphere with romance 
Stirring emotions into a harmonic melody
Eyes closed he sees each note arise

A melodic ambiance...

Galacticly heavenly, imagine Jupiter, kryptonite lunar moons
Sliding between celestial blue and dark moody skies
Wherein lived a Dragon who incredibly, loved snow
Fell in love with a fairy, millenniums ago!

Began courting daring Evelyn fairy gorgeous,
She was, declared...

words lifted out of their mundane fonts 
translucently reborn by the holy obelisk
 held between the fingers.

Pickled like gherkins in vinegar

Crystallised forever in sugar

Set and translucently Jellied ...

Hung like smoked, salted meat

Pigments crushed from earth
brushes from fine animal hair

Is it because they freeze
the sitter's image which

survived as the best image
