Carpe Diem

she loves lantana
i know this big butterfly
perched on her petals

such a beautiful creature
the perfect design on wings
God's little sweetheart

Three Word Wednesday

geek carcass slash

i knew a geek once
he wanted to reinvent himself
became a knife thrower
practised on carcasses
became so skilful
he could slash a target
to pieces with one hit

Unchained Melody

poets united


unchained melody

my love my darling

Man From The Sea

poetry jam


he came from the sea
lived near the beach

a simple spiritual man
a solitary man

he worked on a boat
wore a seaman's cap
all of his life

his eyes were deep rock pools
full of wonder and wisdom

he knew
when the furies were approaching
before any weather forecast

she saw the wind speaking to him
he could read the sky and sea
like the corners of a lover's mouth

she remembers his face
when he received the news
the life sentence of
retirement on land

his wound became hers
she adored him

he died  soon afterwards
from grief
in a hospital bed

they dressed him in
a suit and bow tie
to look nice for the viewing

she was enraged
went beserk
lashed out at them

they said she is a child
she doesn't understand
oh but she did

Tree Of Life

trudging through coarse grit
to find you and when i did
twas just a mirage

A Mozart Moment

Claudio Abbado 1933 - 2014





I pay no attention whatever to anyone's praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
