Azure blue allure
As I look into his eyes
Saltire proud is he
Highlands, the Glens, I go
Alba he resides, my love

Heather with amazing colors,
Hollyhock and hyacinth,
Pansy and pink,
Moonstone,
Sardonyx,
Opal
Among the tall mountains, in a sunny pure sky shortest day,
It was a neat picnic of the fascinating Motacilla Alba and M A Personata...

give thee oh, Lord give
give me all my desires
oh, God take me now

of the heart God holds
give me all my desires
give me more joy Lord

of the heart of Christ
same today as tomorrow
you're Alba Father

There will be a day when Alba becomes free
To unite this great nation, rid our debris

Join together, families, neighbours and friends
Encourage unity, let Alba ascend

And this will happen, as long as one Saltire flies
Uniting our nation, all of you and I...

Embraced
Crazy, happy, protective, and brave
Ashley my elder and Alba my youngest
Lover of food, games, and Vanessa
Who feels sadness, anger, and despair
Who fears loneliness, quiet, and guilt
Who would like to see candy, burgers, and girlfriend
Resident of my Mother
Mundane...

Alba Girl met a mermaid
Alba Girl knew peace
She was so lovely
We all loved her
She didn't know square windows killed her
Nor that the designers got their sums wrong
She was at peace now
She fell to her death
Flew as an angel
Now was on the other side
But it was different
Time had no meaning in the Spirit World
You could go forward and backwards...

I have stepped
into a shadow.
I am trying it on for size,

taking it in here,
letting it out there,
lifting the hem.

The task complete,
I smooth a crease,
adjust the lamp,

and flick some
leftover darkness
into a corner.

White water lily rooted deep
Profusive alba in flora peep;
Over the surface,upside down
Waterboatman-nature's clown.
Spiders spin their bubbled bell
Close to a ramshorn in crimson shell;
Stick insects,two inches long
Feed midst a tumultuous throng;
Mosquitoes,midges and water fleas
Bredd ' neath the shade of willow trees;
Rush,sedge in tall loose strife
In open ponds that team with life....

Alba Semiplena
A Romans gift
In bloom once a year
Flowery lift
 
One of the oldest Roses
To grace our lands
Delicate in delight
A flower so grand
 
These perennial plants
Protected by thorns
The are such a picture
We could never scorn
 
Of all the flowers that do it for me
It's the Rose, whatever colour they be

Saving credits for a trip to the stars,
A cave at Alba Mons volcano:
Ancient secrets, flowing bars;
Greenish women, so Bueno;
Artifacts, old, Martian,
Calling me to hug.
Beetle auction.
Red dust bug.
Big brained,
Life,
Love.
Misplaced
Mementos
Belonging to
Polka-dot fellows
Sexy ladybugs knew.
A rust-colored threesome
In waters that ran chilled and new;
But, air-thinned with delirium,
And a dusty marriage Mars did eschew....

POND LIFE
  
White water lily rooted deep
Profusive alba in flora peep;
Over the surface,upside down
Waterboatman-nature's clown.
Spiders spin their bubbled bell
Close to a ramshorn in crimson shell;
Stick insects,two inches long
Feed midst a tumultuous throng;
Mosquitoes,midges and water fleas
Breed ' neath the shade of willow trees;
Rush,sedge in tall loose strife
In open ponds that team with life.

This poem you now read
Is of a wonderful man
A brother of old
From a far away land

He stands for so many
On this planet we call earth
To their hearts he was taken
A man of worth

Georgia, Malta
Russia, the Ukraine
To all they admire
This difference of men

In the country of Alba
The Kingdom of the Scot's
When the Saltire flies
We forget him not

On the 30th of November
To the Scot's so true
It's his day 
Our patron, Saint Andrew...

Llegaste a mi
Cuando mas lo necesitaba 
Abrazastes mi alma
Con una sola mirada

Callaste mis labios
Con besos del alba
Vestistes mi cuerpo
Con caricias plenas
Atastes a mi cintura
Lazos de seda 

Y Ahi en medio
De tanto pavor
Dimos riendas sueltas
A la pasión

Amor prohibido
Tan lejano
Y a la vez, tan presente
Supo vencer al dolor

Amor que trajo con él
Una nueva illusion 
Dicen que el destino los ayudo
Pero fue el deseo de ser amado
Que aquel dulce recuerdo ató...

Is it better to burn my tongue to find for myself?
the taste!the fun! the poorish!or wealth?
I go raw as i wander in dark hidden glens.
with my maw and paw and girny wains!
We had fled from the invaders with fire! them that brought the first light we expired!
Burning our beds,killing warriors and worshipping some unworldly sire!
now we are still hidden in our own wee places of secret meetings!
in every house in alba!some might think it,s the garden of eden!...

Alba Paradise
There on the sea bed is where we play
Among the fishes and plane wreckage
Look there's my plane in bits

Nothing more than a curiosity now
It brought me here and made my form
Killing me along with the others

Other Comet planes fell too
We are not alone on the sea bed
Some are happy and others sad

Me I'm in the middle indifferent now
It depends on my mood and the island
Alba is a paradise forever more
