Long Unshaded Poems

A diverse array of flora and fauna reign majestic 
in vivid tawny imagery of shifting sand dunes 
and barren rocks-- sixteen miles
from the golden rays of western tomorrow.

Time is played out in crucial moments of...

Fling open these gates of purgatory
In the sharp corner of a deserted hell to see
Behold, the office of the dull-eyed in an overloaded ark
Nearly concealed by a screen of dusty cobwebs
This soul perching on the...

She makes… rainbows sprout from her fingertips with every touch of my corpses flesh, her angelic
 presence, bringing sunshine to my cheek with lips unshaded, her kisses, were full of sun beamed 
pleasures and, all...

Where Love Grew 



Beneath the maple tree 
is where our love first started to grow 
Green buds of unblossomed love, 
basking in the golden dappled light 
of spring’s awakening 
A sweet kiss given, 
sweet as...

In his final moments
 He clutched his sheet in fear
 Staring at the wallpaper
 He knows his time is near
 
The unshaded lightbulb
 The dust around the room
 Black mould in the windowsill
 Adding to...

Chosen, tantalised, to there so close thine eyes, in musical moments,
Released all cares through reaching recitals, so buried now within the stave's,
Fingers flexing, skilfully etching, a melody of all the heart to both hear and...

Skylight unshaded and yet still it rests
Dark clouds impeding the sunlight’s ingress
To many it’s frightening, but in truth the lightning

To the farm eroded of trees.
I’d stand on the hill in the middle of summer, 
Unshaded in a blistering breeze.

Then the winter shook hands and my...

Of all the times I spent at sea,
The most cherished was blessed night.
Beneath a laden luminous landscape,
Unshaded by harsh unnatural light.

Cast amid gently rolling waves,
With both eyes celestially bound.
Enthralled by a crystallized reflection,
My pulsing heart...

Colours


Would that the world was black and white
no colours, or their hues, to blur the sight
all things, quick sorted, left or right.

No nuance of the eye, or mind
nor deviation from the norm, to find
hidden in...

Unshaded Glades

     In that distant land of remembered time,
     I walked sunlit paths only lovers know,
     With sharpened spirit and youth’s hope filled...

Paradise:
Where healthcare receiving
is always as invited
as warm yellow sunshine
after a dark blue hurricane,

Where wealthcare giving
always begins with cooperative invitation
into vulnerable unshaded curiosity,
transparent courage
radiantly shared,

Where our traumas
remain critical exceptions
that prove Earth's positive energy
democratic health/wealth bicameral rule,

After Glow

Having no holiday lights to glow,
I left my salt lamp light on low,
and went outside to the prairie road
to see what the nighttime sky would show.

Alas. The winter clouds hid all...
