dewdrops  on   cobwebs

wedding   on  Sunday

flitting vibration
iridescent turquoise gleam
    savouring nectar

Pisces
Jewelled and bright
Navigating the dark solitude
in their phosphorescent paths
Creatures of soft flight
beneath the sea...

With powers vying to have us ruled
The lull of liberty has us fooled 
The rich and mighty sweep it all
And callused hands are rarely jewelled...

at sunrise 
Venus buckles
and suffers the shades 
holy palms lend an ear
spinning jewelled 
constellations 
glide
silently turning 
in the inverted dark...

ruby jewelled throat

            shimmers over purple bells

                 olive winged wonder

Beautiful bright butterfly
Fluttering freely
You brighten up the sullen skies
With jewelled wings like a tiffany lampshade
Bringing light into our lives

Perfect symmetry on jewelled wings
Flutter by beautiful butterfly
Floating free on zephyr winds
Like an aerial acrobat sent from on high

sapphire on sapphire
at the rise of jewelled night
when the stars flash fire

mysterious quest
like the wide-eyed owl spying
as beauty's fading

in the vast deep blue
the scarlet sun is sinking
like a cherry bomb...

Soft silence reigns this dawn 
The showers of the night gone
And while I sit I can see
Jewelled droplets on the trees

I feel sad for the city folk
Raincoats and umbrella spokes
and rain streaked panes
Who never love the rain

Don’t flutter by pretty butterfly
just alight on a flower and rest
when day is done, take in the sun
your jewelled beauty’s simply the best

Then spread your wings and fly so high
like a stained glass window in the sky

Butterflies flutter by
brightening my pretty
borders with rich colours.
Breathtaking jewelled wings
bring me such great delight
Blue Buddleia blooms are
bedecked with their beauty.

Every year she waits for spring
A proposal…jewelled ring
And the joy that those would bring…

Swept by winter’s cold…to hope she’ll cling.

Nights infusion
bleary eyed rivals
in Soho tweed
Pharaohs joke was here
Denim clad oxymorons
with spotlight eyes
Archways lean close
as sticks befuddle
their spark of epiphany
A jewelled silence
captures the gangsters in silhouette
Freaks five a penny
prolapse the night...

I see her working in the garden
the skillful little soul.
Fashioning her home to perfection,
her delicate abode caressed by the breeze.
Jewelled by the rain, destroyed by my finger 
should i dare to interfere.
So inviting, so inviting...
Yet a trap for the unsuspecting pilot....

The Rose awaits dawn
Jewelled tears to soothe
bird upon the wing
calls out reveille
waning moon exits.

The breeze whispers
spirit so free
shakes new born leaves
rustles the tide.

Morning breaks
azure sky
hides the stars.

Nature's
habit.

Pure.

flaking paint
on peeling buildings
throws
clock fingers
through the last plumes of yesterday
Argus stained waiters
Gargoyles chewing on cigars
Smile till swede
Worshiping the harlequins
Sailors with denim eyes
velvet dolls with braided  smiles
worshiping the dreams of night
and the Serpentine dulls grey, disowned...

From where I stand 
leaning 
which way up 
patches of blue 
or jewelled black vertigo 
bring me back to earth 
and heaven is still here
Untrustworthy planks of mentality wobble 
loose chemical nails 
and windows rattle 
in the human eddies
Time to back up 
clean the head 
reboot 
save the screen 
recalibrate 
sleep

You are SO ABSENT when I want you to be here.
I gave you my jewelled heart, yet you went away.
I try to phone, but get engaged tone.
Are you engaged? You said you wanted me...

You are SO ABSENT in my twilight years.
Soon they will turn night, and then,
Oh then, my jewelled heart
Will no longer break in two.

I just pictured a path that glittered and sparkled
Magical to see, but by walking forward 
The clarity is it's shards and splinters of glass
Each step beauty to my eye compelling me forward
But so many splinters and so tiny and difficult to remove
Is the answer to disconnect my heart from my body or my body from my heart because I really do want to walk the jewelled path...

Nothing that you say 
Is ever lost; it's stored away 
Goes down in history 
In someone's memory 
And everything you do 
Is traceable to you 
Be as kind as you can be 
Living your biography. 

That secret hideaway 
Lights up with D.N.A. 
A practiced jewelled smile 
Belies an inner guile 
The tainted wayward thought 
Enacted, sees you caught 
Be as true as you can be 
Living your biography....

Artistic. 

Brilliant colours. 

Dainty embroidery.

Fragile golden hues in jewelled kaftans.

Light multicoloured needlework on patchwork quilts.

Rich silken tapestries

Unusual vestments with xstitching.

Yarmulke & Zucchetto.

A Beautiful Collection

Neon fingers
banish the remnants of the day
Dustbins loiter ominously
blurry eyed
The Night people slide in between
Sailor doom bewitched by sorceresses
as heckled men face electric spears

Stet the occasion
A drawbridge opens
staining the gangster day
Outstretched palms
preclude the day

Jewelled ghost trains
ordinately take you
further away

Velvet dolls with a brainy side
watch stale commissioners slide
Star  clad ingénues infuriated evermore...
