Long Watercourse Poems

"But I have many promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep."

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
I will fear no evil for you are with me. ...

Navigating the immense void of night
The right ascension to a winter’s sky;
Coincides with the height from which I stood 
Stars, interlinking crescendo’s so freely,
Imitate the centuries, as I presumed as much.

At least with one tuned...

The brook thrums as it vaults over the piled rocks
Rolling on deep into the Zambezi valley
Twisting, flirting with the rigdes that compliment the escarpment beyond 
And the indigenous lass strolled to the rivulet a rose...

Under the low set hut, yessir,

O yes, that is fine day
For fishing in mountain river
When weather is bad, 
And raining from early gray dawn. 
When world look so pity and doleful
Maybe for artists and poets
But so nice for big and...

ESCAPE PLAN

the sea, red,
shook.

the Lord’s mighty binoculars
he spies out the escape
(God always has a plan)

the waters tossing and turning
(as if in fitful sleep)
the waters were afraid
knowing the power
of the Almighty

twisting, convulsing
clouds emptied out buckets
the skies...

The pasture smiled and gave its blessing nearby the sacred gentle river

Solemn sun sent tender rays through the moisture of dispersing clouds

Shadows of dawn had turned into a clement plethora of infinite shades 

A bristlecone...

Ambush

There's a lovely tropic island at the bottom of the map, 
It's a paradise on earth except for one small handicap; 
We have wallabies and kangaroos to only name a few, 
And a gentler crowd...

based on words by PARIS-MAREE BOREHAM 


At the river song in progress 

She was walking on watercourse side
Upright I was just there I cry
Our aperture optic orbs spied
Each other's visual spear 

oh!  I...

Your LOVE is like an adoring reverie,

Without uttering a word, nature preaches. 
A google search may hold all the answers except for 'self'. 
The watercourse way reveals the solution one seeks. 

A cloudless sky, a blank canvas. 
Over four million results...

With bent torso, fenced horse Corso,
Tows corpulent gent Morse into a Kent forest.

This portly source torments tense Corso to such a contentious extent
That he sends them off course with vehement force to show his discontent.

“Whoa”,...

The beauty
Of
Namatjira
White haired
Bark painter's
Of fish
Wandjina
Feathered man
Full sunset
Corroboree
Pintubi
Dancers
In watercourse 
Colours
Of hills
And rangers
Near Henbury
Or was it
Kings canyon
South
Alice springs
Dome like peaks
Of Olga's
Stark landscape
Barren
Barkly
Near Soudan
Where
Dust storms
A common hazard
The faces
Of William Richetts
In the Maelstrom
Those colours
Of time
And day
House Wife's
Bushman
Children of the

Snatched and grabbed, reefed off me horse,
Just crossed over the watercourse,
Big white light it came and got,
Zapped me, jerked me up aloft,
A bloody flying saucer.

Saw the circle spinning disk,
With panels from one did whisk,
Beam of...

We bite the dust every morning,
spitting gray powder, like desperados.
Firebirds nosedive in forewarning, 
perverting the trees into hell’s tornadoes.

We taste sooted smog on our tacky tongues,
dragging all our shadows of remorse.
Finding no habitat for our...

Angels amass amid the garden of surety with their watercourse formulas

In pristine pails pouring tenderly this life in decreeings drops upon my Soul 

Its soil summoned to be nourished; fertile words as light from, The...

With His hand He measured the span of the universe
Of which planets, stars along with earth  will immerse
Like river rock on any given great river's watercourse
Yet His hand  holds me as a mother...

ALL THINGS NORSE

These are the guys in horn-helmets of course,
And the biggest hammer was always Thor’s.
They traveled each European watercourse
From the mouth to the source, 
And their transport was boat  - never by horse....

Water takes any and many shapes,
in a glass, bowl, pot, vase, tub, sink,
swimming pool. Fruits such as grapes,
plums, melons, left they dry and shrink.
Your body is made up to sixty percent
of water. Water is transparent,...

When the river flows,
The stream glows,
Down the watercourse,
Through the natural channel,
The earth becomes its force.
When the river flows,
Beneath the falling waterfall,
Their the light transcends,
The fine array of each watercolour
Like a artist using his pallet,
To create...

Let’s go to the beach
Through the yellow beckoning of lupin, broome and gorse
Play in the sand, dig a watercourse
Place your towel on the stick poking up from the sand, run into the ocean and stop.

O, my life like a gray, gray smoke,
That's newly pillowing from an old engine.
O, my life like a trumpeting
That's sweetly sounded by an elephant.

As fair as a river, my life stream in meanders,
So deep in...
