Sunbathed Poems

Pedro was a Mexican who lived in Mexico
Pedro always wore a hat, a big sombrero
Pedro loved the sun he sunbathed every day
He tipped his hat over his eyes to keep sun-rays away

Some cheeky children passing by saw Pedro in repose
Decided...Read More

Remember the long walks on sunbathed sand
Talks we had on a saturated shore
The feel of our hearts pounding in our hands
Each moment better than the one before

Want to walk with you my love forever
Promise never, my love,...Read More

Banks only deal in diamond currency
It is a crystal non cash kind of business
My ATM died last night from the withdraws
Brought on by nightmares of masked gun men
And get a-ways that escaped them
Wheel-man waits in the smoking car
To whisk the...Read More

A zip lining tree makes about as much sense as a robotic hamster. Neurotic neanderthal neon numbers neither neutralise nor nut needed narcotic nymph nights. Oh wow a triangular pendulum. Must swing around on that. If the mice like it...Read More

Summer fade and passes away 
Just like our love wasn't meant to stay 
The sound of rustling leaves 
So cool to hear 
Like music of the season 
Whispering your name. 

Soft frosty wind blew gently 
To the sunbathed fields 
Carpeted...Read More

(Re old poems)



The luncheon of French bourgeoisie under frilly striped awning.
Young fair maiden, rosy cheeks- beguiling her eyes; leans on the railing.
Amidst fruits and undrunk wine in amorous air strokes dog, a wife.
Men look askance in yellow straw hats, faces...Read More

Castle in the sand

indicates the location

A buried treasure

where once we sat and sunbathed

Lost to a watery grave...Read More

I bequeath to you my poems,
For words are all I own--
May the images of snow and fall
Bring you comfort when alone.

And I will leave you all of it;
The moonlight on the moor--
As well the quiet, leafy wood,
Or a sunbathed distant...Read More

Rain do rain,
         To relieve us from pain,
         Of this unbearable heat,
          Scorching and sunburn,

Another day ends with insipid sun
One more uncertain season
Another month ebbs slowly invariably gone
One more uninteresting month another reason

Each bulb impressively pushing old soil up
So absented from every winter irritation 
The orchestrated plants unite drinking along nature’s everlasting cup,
Invigorated refreshed,...Read More

Live streaming in a window
Endorsed by nice nature
Flowers behind my closet
Amid the matching dew
From the sky.

An Epoch graced by wind
And cool cold cloud
But shabby role of many odds.

Noise from all corner
Oozing and ringing
Beeping and vibrating
Mucous and snoring
Amid the sunbathed foul
That...Read More

I sunbathed on the surface of mercury. 
I windsailed on the sand dunes of mars. 
I gazed upon venus and from my memory. 
It was the most lovely by far, but that 
was until the day I saw you, 
from...Read More

Driving along the coast with Casey and Jimmy

Doing the highway one journey, heading north

Three friends, starting at the inland port

Of Long Beach and The Queen Mary

Upon our way, toward the other cities aside the sea

Laguna, Venice, Sunset Beach

Redondo, where the...Read More

Gone are the days when I sunbathed in ease
   Drank lemonade, and did what I pleased
      Betrayed by the Autumn kissed sycamore trees
         Now ...I'm...Read More

I lie there in my meadow bed
Looking at a slate blue sky
The dampened earth beneath my head
A gleaming brightness stings my eyes

A faint breeze cools my sunbathed face
The grass is prickly on my skin
Above the wisps of clouds float by
Entrancing...Read More

staring at the moonlit sky... 
do you ever wonder what is beyond the stars...
what is beyond the heavenly beings...
beyond the planets...
galaxies...
heavens...
what is beyond all thought...
all spaces deep in the mind...
all the worlds that are visioned and dreamt...
every wish...
all connections to...Read More

Slept in late so we could get breakfast at brunches to go 
walked about a mile sippin’ mochas to the park to dine under mistletoe 
laid sunbathed with no panty lines
took our time getting back with romance butterflies on high...Read More
