A gentle crunch through a cold winter
A careful walk no sprinter
Slippery through crisp white snow
Only footprints on show
The quietness that snow brings
The crisp air rushes by clings
An imprint on the ground
A crunch is the only sound
Songbirds in the distance singing
Each step a new beginning
Every step is unique
Some deep some weak
Every flake more unique than the last
Time to say goodbye to the past
When the snow melts away
Footsteps melt to display
The ground beneath revitalised
A new attitude finalised

the

&

Isolated
Ecstatic eye of night
thoughts tangled tangent
tint of orange moon
slivers were just hazy
incipient learned launch
as the querulous quirk
indented ingress idly
still desperate to capture
though less likely
lavishness connoting mood
human forest focal point
I dream in dribbles soppy
though never flagged yet
as futile aspiration amid
hues strictly night bound
might benefit wistfully
when strident slumber
indigenous to townscape
has its muted rippled
riddle not tactfully
resolved due to blind
daylight tinctured template
aroused by the clangour
of mint medley lure of
Arcadia circus dangle
of inchoate promise known
as crystal carrot jewellery
box whose flecks fly a riot
before the milling cluster
who wantonly wonder
at collapsing fortress inside
whilst rugged resilience
that tower block of prime
revitalised endeavour bent
on a fantasy forage with
disposition a pointless block
though underbody wobbles
if left without the widest
custodial watch of the self
one might be elated finally
The magic gem of curly hair,
Procures itself in sodden downpour.
Frizz retracts and curls define,
Revitalised by heaven's moisture.
No brolly required.
No wind-swept locks.
A long-awaited makeover,
Of the most natural kind.

SONNET FOR LOS CAMPITOS TEAM
Orinoco flow to Andean peaks, the nation
Protests the chaos suffering and pain
Yet once more you young pilgrims made migration
To this distant shore from 'cross the Spanish Main
Not for refuge nor self-centred better life
But to represent beloved land with pride
Led with wisdom toward victory over strife
By a princess of the Nile who was your guide *
So let striving for success that's in your essence
Be revitalised once more for your return
Taking back with you your drive and luminescence
To a country seeking light for which it yearns
Your inspiring dedication may avail a
New resurgence and bring hope to Venezuela
* Her name: Aida
I took a cosmic trip
To the light fantastic,
To see my seven sisters
Pleiades feels like home from home,
I sensed and felt its calling
My spirit self it reaches out
To interact and commune
In universal converse
To understand pleiades ways
And realise we're related
And this is where I originate
This is where I came from
This is where I resonate
These seven sister are family
I sense they are my kindred
We absorb each others essences
And share our energy
And as we do I am revitalised
I feel myself renewed
Then I join them in shining light bright
In glorified incandescence.
Spirited Love
Touch me thy fingers awaken my spirit,
like fire that’s wild my body it spreads,
through magical touch of passion alive,
my heart strings are tensioned harmonious tunes.
So nurtured in rhythm of blood flowing beats,
inspired with moments of beauty serene,
revitalised thoughts a paradise find,
sensual the fruits of love us remind
Storge:
It’s hard living with a broken heart,
fortunately for me, my heart resuscitated with your breath of life.
Giving me what my heart was missing,
you revitalised love, granting the type of support needed to survive.
Philia:
Never mistaken or misconstrued,
you are both honest and open in equal measure.
Craving no friendship other than ours,
we share a bond deeper than any ocean treasure.
Eros:
When laying in the sheets,
I stare at you and find it difficult to speak.
feeling intense passion,
made perfect by our serene marriage at twin peaks.
Agape:
Realising I am living destiny,
no longer shall my inspiration ever starve.
With a smile that overcomes everything,
I am complete; cherishing our forever love.

the enemy tries to use people to try and knock us down
but I am still smilling and not wearing a frown
I know God is greater and stronger than all things
and thats why today my heart still sings
I wake up early at the crack of dawn
and just keep singing even if i yawn
I feel revitalised i feel so new
my Lord came and rescued me
and he will come and rescue you
I carn't explain in words how he kept me on my feet
and all my pain and burdens he did release
he set me free from abuse and kept me safe from harm
when life Got a bit rough the Lord made it calm
I am safe and secure and all is well
and this is one testomony that i must tell
How amazing is the Lord that he does love me
how marvelous is his mercy and his peace shall always be.
patriotic freedom
it’s an American symbol

Sonnet LXXII
Coming from the Greek "krus anthemon"
Heroic as the name implies, hath told
Revitalised each myth that once upon
Yearns wonder while a bunch of these I hold,
Sufficient is the splendid orb that says,
Another legend shuns the said sunrise
Note all, have in abundance grand displays
Together in their sphere of stark surprise
Hitherto, have I seen this utmost vast.
Essential to the backcloth, those in front
Might eagerly to reach new heights and cast
Unequalled while those fairytales advance
May gods appear so their religions last,
So they can be accepted unsurpassed.
