Poet Introduction
I find my scribblings are either brimming with light or staring into darkness, well, we all have to peer into the void sometimes.

Kintsugi Eulogy
Your kintsugi kisses
linger still, their legacy
binds this once fractured soul
and made life beautiful again,
For a time, there was no shade
just the warmth of love,
a promise of the future
until the shadows of deceit
fell upon your lips.
You left some damage
in your wake, but
I never thanked you
for the inspiration.

The Only Way To Say It
They say that home is where the heart is,
so tell me where you are?
because I wish to return.
I can personify the sun until she burns cold or
write a sonnet about how the waves of your
love wash upon my shores.
But in the end
it all means the same.
I would speak metaphorically on how our love
blossoms like a fire lily
vibrant with colours and scent engulfing me.
However, even the fire lily has it's seasons.
We have no seasons;
We are the summers sun hot with passion
We are...
so tell me where you are?
because I wish to return.

Adieu To The Taste Of Honey
Could it be, that
I lost my
way when
those final words
dripped
from
your
lips
like
sour
honey.
A taste in my mouth
to spell the end;
I missed the night
train to your heart
so I will
walk
this
road
alone...
Until perhaps
we meet again at a
crossed road in my dreams,
where I can atone for things I
said, but never did (and
did, but never said).
Until then dream girl.....adieu.

Sun Poets
The ink my pen holds
flows and arches,
crashes and wanes
like no other.
In tandem with the
very blood coursing
through my veins.
And what is in my heart,
I will spill onto paper
without fear of reprise.
There are as many poems as stars
in the night sky, each with their
very own sun poet.
My own galaxy I
will create with wondrous
nebulae of metaphors
and similes of a giant red
stars going supernova.
For I am its Poet holding
all steady with my gravity,...

With a Touch, She Ignites My Soul (Quatern)
With a touch, she ignites my soul,
awaken memories of old
my reason for being, thought and deed,
the lighthouse when adrift as sea
Dark corners of my mind she lit,
with a touch, she ignites my soul
in stillness our hearts do sit
pathways to the future bright, bold.
I thought the past had run its toll
her light shines bright from bygone years,
with a touch, she ignites my soul
and extinguishes my darkest fears
When we are gone the world still turns,
spirits meld to make a whole
this passion...

We Are Poets
We scribe more than words,
We orchestrate emotions and feelings
to a single coherent thought which ignites
the imagination, a legacy for all of man.
In the beginning we pasted the walls of caves
with pictures, glifs and marks.
some of the oldest scriptures in the world
are written by the wisest of their age.
The translation of notion to words are
unselfish and given freely, originating masterpieces
to touch and heal the world
in a way like no other.

You Spellchecked
I fell between your words even
as you wrote my epitaph,
and you spell checked....
while my lips
brushed
your
collarbone.
I shouldn't have expected
so much when your driftwood
soul turns with the tide
of your emotions.
I shouldn't have whispered
shipwrecked secrets that
opened my chest bare and
fed strength from insecurity.
My compass was way off
and now I'm as lost as you
Just, in a different way.

Her Nature
Her Nature was that
of pure poetry . . .
Her very breath scored
prose to my bones,
punctuated with velvet
Kisses on my soul.

Glitter
She flung glitter
across my nights sky
so they were a little lighter . . .
Then she did the same with my heart.

Don't Let It Galvanize
The rhetoric of
your excuses
transposed a frailty of fortitude
to the disposition
of
decadent
distraction;
the embers of my soul
were ashen with the
magnanimous motives which
yours embarked
to destroy mine.
sweet lies from
vermilion lips fracturing asunder
the reality of
this bards’ quill….
Amethyst tears fall
to parchment;
the atomic dragon
poised upon zephyrs – the archetype
of a soul assassin,
cold and capricious.

I Fell In Love
You are the colours of my life.
So I took mortar from
my fractured paths
and built a temple for you.
