starry sky above....
the ‘night queen’ perfumes the air 
as your arms wrap me~	
your warm breath falls on my neck.
wingless I fly like a bird

in consumed passion
my heart longs for your true love
that flies wingless flight
yet your smiles cut through my dreams
sprouting love in fertile loam

as I so desired
so

A red wine stain stays
seared into the wooden grain —
the table keeps watch
how their laughter filled the room
last time they were together

Jellybeans loiter
on the shelf

campfire flames flare bright
licking high into the night
fingers seek mirrors
to show the utmost delight
the fire wants to share tonight

your eyes catch that glow—
reflecting in afterglow

So sure her love dared,
She bought in just one flutter
All my lifelong flair.
Not a word could I utter,
Nor my gutsy pluck muster.

WATER AND TRUE LOVE

Water has its ways,
It’s always disappearing
Always returning:
Evaporating to leave,
And condensing to return:-

You need not worry,
That love, you feel has dissolved,
If true, will

You must be longer
in there than I am this staid.
Above you, to leave

On a sunny day,
we went to get a dogie.
Driving the back roads,
Excitement was in the air.

nothing seems to last
flowers weep faded petals
a faint scent lingers
once blooming in bright color
my poems have lost their appeal

bubbles lifting my spirit 
face of you I reach

THE ULTIMATE NATURE OF WAR

Sown love reaps world peace,
While sown hate will reap world war:
Power its sower:-

summer breeze after sunset
lovers summer nights
bright neat so blue stars up there
overhearty love is here

who wrote me love songs
we harmonise together
under the swinging lanterns

your claws rake my face
your teeth put holes in my skin
your hate breaks my heart
you inflicted pain on me
you called this your love for me
