The Kiss
The eyes; it's the eyes that draw me near. Wide open, luminous, cat-like
within a flawless, translucent face. Upturned towards me with pale pink lips
slightly parted with small, neat, white teeth like celestial guardians of a temple.
I pause to drink in a vision of lustrous plumes of hair, porcelain fine cheekbones
with a dainty nose sitting front and centre. I inhale a heady mixture of perfume
and warm, floral scented skin. Our heads touch; we are cheek to cheek, my jaw delicately brushes your silken skin and then you move, placing us nose to nose
implacable,...

Mathematics
Divided by a busy street your head turns, a fluttering hand, acknowledgement
Separated in a crowded room, a dazzling smile, eyes shining bright as xenon lights
Adds to the pleasure that I get from your presence; the lure of you, the allure of you
Multiplies the attraction, my senses reel from heady perfume, you a distraction but
Subtraction from your orbit of influence causes me a dilemma; a conundrum of sorts
Fractions of my day spent listless and lifeless, yearning for meaning, definition.
Balance this issue evenly; coltish giddy sentiment in ascendancy...

Fractions of my day spent listless and lifeless, yearning for meaning, definition.

Routine
Early morning, quiet is the dawn
Shower time in a slumbering house
Hot and powerful the steamy jets of water
Cascading down, like a 1000 jabbing needles
Pores opened, exfoliated skin refreshed
Faucet closed, steam extracted from the room
Large, warm towelling; soft and white are draped
Hair and skin dried, sprays and lotions applied
Despairingly I catch my reflection in the mirror
Older, balder, greyer at temples and skin wrinkled
Life's rich tapestry in all it's denigration and demise
Where's the 'Elder Statesman' or the Wisdom with Age?...
Shower time in a slumbering house

leaf
Leaf, you've been useful too
collector of sunlight and pollution
giver of energy, devourer of CO2
deliverer of life giving oxygen in dilution
Leaf, tell me what else can you do?
I shelter animals, birds and insects
giving protection from storms and sun
I look scenic from afar; some say majestic
and when I am dead I'm still not done
Leaf, tell me what else can you do?
When I'm on the floor all withered and brown
green finery spent and my carcass all veined
worms and insects from beneath drag me down ...

Survivor - A hypochondriacs view
I sense something, a scent reaches my nostrils, a sound whispers in my ears,
I am not dead yet, but the thought of death, the dread I feel, the fears
paralyse, overwhelm and render me incapable of movement, thought and speech
and then I see it, something, an incomplete spectral image of white leeches
ghosting in and out of my vision and I hear voices in my head gentle as a cloud
then SNAP the cracking of rubberisation, elastication shockingly sharp and loud
as the twang of it, the tang of it assaults my senses leaves me reeling, numb
as unseen entities move...

The Entrance
Minds Blank
Heads turn
Eyes widen
Cheeks flush
Jaws drop
Mouths open
Throats swallow
Hearts pound
Pulses quicken
Veins pulse
Breathing stops
Stomachs butterfly
Members stiffen
Thighs shake
Knees tremble
Lover, why does this happen when you enter the room?

You
I notice your presence instantly
a warm kind of breeze precedes
carrying aloft a scent of you
fresh clothing, soap and sandalwood
I watch you as you animate
sparkling blue eyes, white teeth, red lips
hands gesticulating
emphasizing your wordplay
I like how you move around
the jaunt of your hips
the way your legs fold as you sit
the elegance of your hands with polished nails
I adore it when you look at me
wordless communication
a gesture, a smile shared
connection on a spiritual level
I love...

First Time
August is party time at my family's home
friends and relatives congregate ready to celebrate!
This year is extra special; my elder sister's A level results
I'm happy, life's great until I see Angelina, my sister's best mate.
She's tall and striking of Spanish descent; long black hair and soft brown eyes
that flash and spark as she vents her feelings about the 'stupid brother' - clear hate
of me and I don't know why. I have 'feelings' for this girl I just can't explain.
At best I stand and stare, mouth agape, feeling foolish unable to articulate. ...

Good Morning!
Seeing you here, hearing you here, just knowing you're here;
makes my pulse quicken.
Seeing you strip off; your clothes all silken couture elegance draped over your frame, now just a nonchalantly discarded pile of rags.
Watching you move, your long, lithesome limbs; smooth and pale where the summer rays have not yet kissed your skin.
You step under the shower leaving the door open, knowing that I can see you reflected clearly in the full length mirror, knowing that I am transfixed by you, beguiled by your inscrutability, bewitched by your obvious physical charms...

Who cares?
A knock at the door
A cheery greeting
Dainty footsteps on the floor
On goes the heating
'Can I make you a brew?'
'Would you like some lunch?'
The sounds of activity anew
Culinary creativity is my hunch
It's nice to have companionship
If only lasting for a while
A carer's kindness and friendship
Good nature'd banter and a smile
All too soon signing out
A hug, a wave and then she's gone
Internally I scream and shout
The house returns to quiet and I am alone
A cheery greeting
Dainty footsteps on the floor
On goes the heating
'Can I make you a brew?'
'Would you like some lunch?'
The sounds of activity anew
Culinary creativity is my hunch
It's nice to have companionship
If only lasting for a while
A carer's kindness and friendship
Good nature'd banter and a smile
All too soon signing out
A hug, a wave and then she's gone
Internally I scream and shout
The house returns to quiet and I am alone
