Radiant Romance

Heart warm, I'm smiling and observe their smile with pride  
Hand in hand as we walk, my happiness radiantly shined 
The feeling of such certainty for them I feel inside  
How lucky to have found such love, luckiest to find 
It was love at first sight, eyes before you blind 
Such true kindness,they're selfless and to others always kind 
Since you, i to show thoughtfulness, positive thoughts in mind 
reminding them of their greatness, every day i will remind 
Take lead ill follow, never far cheering and following behind 
our future timeline I see clearly and fate perfectly aligned 
Grinding endlessly for our goals, a teamwork working grind 
She is brave and unworldly, she is Outspoken yet refined  
Lets take our time ,  love like ours cannot be timed 
Promising the whole of me, and a promise locked entwined

A Fruitful Fruit

The smell of cantaloupe is enticing
Yearning to feel it’s smoothly texture
It beckons me to it with an unworldly call
The slippery flesh is on my earthly skin
As I hold the fruit it embraces me,
How sweet! How kind it is!
I sympathize and crave it!
A plant that is living and purring
Communicates to us with undecipherable 
Decibels that can be heard from beyond our senses
But, I’m hungry; so hungry!
Tearing apart it’s flesh
It’s now a part of me; broken down to a
Molecular level.

pizzas our way

Brazilians put green peas on their pizzas you know
yuck said my unworldly friend, whose cheeks were aglow
crazy since he is German and they put tuna on their crust
I rolled my eyes at his bigotry, his absolutism is a must.

japanese add potatoes to their pizza and mayonnaise too
you are kidding said my Costa Rican friend, her name is Lu.
what do you add to yours in the islands? I asked her.
we eat coconut on ours, to be bare would be a disaster.

pepperoni is the most popular topping in the US of A.
a variety of pieces though, each made in a unique way.
I have had tuna on my pizza in California, it was good too.
the one who did not believe me was my friend, island Lu.

Something Else

Under the hedgerow,
nothing will fall apart, nor hold,
until a first milky dribble
is squeezed into the
mewing mouths of the newborn.

Small forms roll in their dim pelts,
nightjars swoop from branch to tree trunk,
bat calls return to receiving ears.

A child's dream grows a face-masked cloud,
small eyes appear behind a mattress of foliage,
clairvoyant glimmers of the yet to come.

Every dawn is a stranger, a nakedly visual light.
Gaps in the shrubbery coalesce,
to reveal a small industrial unit,
cogs and wheels run deep,
as they turn something into something.

Further back,
the goose-necked end of a small pond
curls morning mist into unworldly shapes,
will-of-the-whisps,
that drift in and out of an opening sky.

A yearning awakens,
one warm breath starts a dew-cold engine,
soon the seen, will be accelerating,
emerging once more into something else.

a decent obsession

underneath 
his trenchcoat
he was 
in possession 
of a bent quill
he used it to tickle
words out of his 
avaries of birds
moon-eyed and 
sucker-punched
they adored the 
dripping honey 
he spooned
into their 
unworldly
wide-open bills
his avarice 
for swollen 
notoreity
observed 
by the dark
night-eyed
hunters
while he,
unsuspecting, 
stalked 
newly commissioned
clean and unmarked boxes 
with his know-it-all
best bumbling 
holy-roller turns

the nights 
are full of obsessed
decent hunters 
lit matches 
with an arsenal
of thoughts 
and a granary 
of words
ready to burn







Candide Diderot. ‘24

Night Bewitches

The Night beguiles and bewitches me 
as shadow deepen and lengthen
The moon shyly peeps out at me
then bursts out in splendid stateliness.

Now clouds drift across its beaming face
causing shadows to change their shape
I see first a unicorn dancing in the night
Followed by a trio of old haggard witches.

The night sure belong to unworldly things
goblins, elves, pixies hobnob in its darkness
and shadows leap and dance in moonlight
rays of gold, silver and blood deep reds.

Soon. too soon the night will give way
and all the secrets hidden by darkness
will slip away and leave me wondering
were they  ever displayed in the darkness?

Ethereal

Wisteria grows rampant its beauty displayed
Lavender clusters of perfected flowers
Forming an archway an ethereal display 
Their elegance unworldly admired for hours.

In soft summer rain, they grow refreshed
Luminous shade that catches one's eye
With gentle motion, they sway and impress
Exquisite moment relished we softly sigh.

Clusters of blossoms heavy on vine
Blissful respite soothes weary mind
To enjoy and wonder before its decline
With summer wisteria is eternally twined.

Look For My Cave

Our modern society is very deft
at exposing our bodies to emfs.
Wifi at the office.
Wifi in our homes, 
and of course those emfs on our cell phones..
We live in the time of instant connections but
whose looking out for our bodies protection?
Electric companies replaced augmented meters
to eliminate the cost of meter readers.
Apartment and condo dwellers absorb the cost
in their bodies cell damage and cellular loss..
Whomever thought that smart meters were smart
when they cause cancers and impact the heart?
 Companies now marketing shielding products
but they often appear unworldly, and some what robotic.
I guess I'm too old for this wifi wave so I'm off to
the hills to look for my cave.

Lullabies In the Dark

in the glitter of the night when the moon
has cast its net over one and all ~
swaying to symphonies rehearsed
stars will dance their million virtues

and the midnight breezes will serpentine
towards distant lullabies of mermaids
seek they will hoping to find the enchantress
who forever conspires in the dark with unworldly deities

Light Inaccessible

“Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
in  light inaccessible  hid from our eyes”
quote from the hymn by Walter Smith (1867)


Light Inaccessible …
is wisdom without origin
can be known when faith
breaks the dawn with insight

This Light without space...
is seen without the use of eyes
is felt minus human hands
is heard though one has no ears

Spark that sharpens my light….
shining from the highest height
shining through the longest day
shining beyond my deepest pain

Immortal, invisible, very God and very man…
misunderstood and incomprehensible
is servant-hood, unworldly
for all things good, trustworthy

This Light without time...
Creator, man is made in His image
Redeemer of all surrendered souls
Eternal King coming to rule the Earth

Downloading the Light

Take a slow tick of time
to shut-down the brain.
Rebooting also works,
the writing on the mind wall
will probably continue,
but don't get back on the thought train,
The much annotated, over-cluttered script
will fade away
when your eyes begin to look through it.

We are all born with a soft spot
atop our heads, that aperture is still there,
it opens when you unplug
from all your self-talk.
The starry universe can now pour in,
or just a scent of an unworldly flower
that swoons your sense.

Keep brainless, sit apart from its
scrolling word-monitor,
sit, lay or stand one breath away
from its constant chatter,
watch from a distance
watch the one who watches
do not editorialize
just observe.

That metaphysical hole
in your emptying head
will let your Higher Self inward
and it will fill you with wonder
until you know there is no 'you'

at least until once more
you turn back on
your beeping and buzzing brain
to find some news of yourself.

spirit
charmingly

an unworldly
quality
collides
to portend

in
 the blatant

A Toast For Halloween

And with this toast on Halloween
             A creepy drink of black and green
The smoke that rambles witches’ brew
                 Will find its way to capture you

For as you sip this wolves’ delight  
                Upon this most unworldly night 
You may begin to understand
           The taste of leg and arm and hand

It takes not much to feel the change
      And then to know what else is strange
When you can touch your hairy chin
          The mangled teeth contained within

Too late to drop this cup of fear
               The urge to hunt and kill is here
Lycanthropy is very real
             The moon is full of your first meal

Just August

sky glow glorious 
                                splendour leaves waltz in ultimate 
                                       bliss breeze kissing
                                 flowers emanate saffron scent
                                unworldly fragrance bestowed
