In Krakow
As I leave here I must kiss every leaf
and every stone. This is the place for
That kind of love, the radical love
Where I fell and felt you
All around, an old town
Crumbling under the stars, twinkling
The river running the magical place
An eternal heart space - Krakow.
I am always kneeling, down, to honour you !
and every stone. This is the place for
That kind of love, the radical love
Where I fell and felt you
All around, an old town
Crumbling under the stars, twinkling
The river running the magical place
An eternal heart space - Krakow.
I am always kneeling, down, to honour you !

Summer
I am happy - how are you ?
be in touch if you want - cos in the one life - good to be connected -
SUMMER
summer overtook spring
where spring should have been
joy always was
feeling like the world is me
and I am, born to feel like this
whatever winter was
I loved it too
cold and close to the clouds
I dance now
down the road
watching motorbikes
wriggle speedily by
makes me want to fly
and so I do !
be in touch if you want - cos in the one life - good to be connected -

Aum Namah Shivaya
looking out of the eyes in this body
looking out the mind says “what is important”
the ex husband says
“money is important”
to live on this planet, the mind says what is important ?
Love ?
the friend doesn't call
and the mind can say this is love !
the mind asks “what is important” ?
Emptiness makes no reply
Shiva destroys the important and the unimportant
because they are meaningless

a letter home
we're flying and breathless catching the breeze
thrilling it was and wonderful
to hold that delicate bird in my dirty human hand
where have I sought this when and why ?
speed and lightening the blue of the sky
down the old roads through trees and fields
just another of those emotional girls
stepping into the lime light
moving her hips when her hair is loose
she's dancing slow dances
but I go out and watch the stars
those fragile messages drawn out there in light years on black
stars singing to me in the nights light ...

God Is
God is the silence
and god is the noise
god is the child and the
children's toys
god is your smile
god is the sun
god is the children, how they run
how we touch, feel our skin
hear the music, hear the birds
where is the wind
but for god?
God is the sea and god is the whales
the jelly fish and the snail
the ship with the sails
the girl with a bouncing pony tail
horses and ducks, shit and muck
god is the atom
and god is the bomb
god writes the music
god sings the song
...
and god is the noise
god is the child and the
children's toys
god is your smile
god is the sun
god is the children, how they run
how we touch, feel our skin
hear the music, hear the birds

winter into spring
Perhaps we offended you spring ?
we are so ungrateful for your cold sunshine
this year, perhaps winter misses us
and wanted to stay with us a little longer ?
winter hiding inside the blossoms
surprises a bee
humbly looking for the sweetness
talking of bee's
isn't honey the most magical
thing, so golden and so good?

fried eggs
After vodka and talking
all night long
fried eggs in butter, two suns
brighten the landscape of a plate
sweet creamy yolk pours out,
beyond gold.
The life binding proteins
give ballast for the plunge
into the hangover
of the now and forever past
all night long
fried eggs in butter, two suns
brighten the landscape of a plate

we are all that,
I'm not interested unless its dripping with the eternal
diamonds of truth and pearls of wisdom
I hung up my shopping bag
I'm out picking fruits
fruits of surrender and renouncement.
White is the new black
giving the new consuming
staying alert my relaxation.
News of earthquakes and floods
passes me by like birdsong
total unknowing and laughing
is the now : planning my life.
Maybe I cry sometimes
it all makes me cry
longing and being the what I am longing for
“if only I could turn around”

Thirteen and in love
Thirteen and in love
On the river bank we lay kissing
in the spring sunshine
amid the dog shit and the wrappers
thirteen and in love
like a drunk running into
traffic , I ran into you
nothing matters
you fill the empty space with laughter
I am thirteen
and in love
On the river bank we lay kissing
in the spring sunshine
amid the dog shit and the wrappers
thirteen and in love
like a drunk running into
traffic , I ran into you
nothing matters
you fill the empty space with laughter
I am thirteen
and in love

Untitled
If I could write a poem without words
it would describe my love for you
nothing is my diamond and my gold
no place is my home
meanwhile and for a long time
I roam, being in joy with my sadness
loneliness shines like a light in the dark
through the sounds of the world I strain
to hear your silence
it would describe my love for you
nothing is my diamond and my gold
no place is my home
meanwhile and for a long time
I roam, being in joy with my sadness
loneliness shines like a light in the dark
through the sounds of the world I strain
to hear your silence

Spring morning with a radio
Eating bread that is firm to the tooth
yielding it's yeasty goodness in the morning
with golden butter churned from cream
from cows munching in the green
Grass grows and the rivers flow
For drinking springs of purity
For cups of tea and scotch whiskey
Rain falls and we make love
Sun rays sheering past dark clouds
Warming the backs of woolly sheep
With lambs, white like innocence
they wear away, the hilly paths
listen to the whispers from the radio
arid utterances from the stinking river
brown and putrid our just deserts...
yielding it's yeasty goodness in the morning
with golden butter churned from cream
from cows munching in the green
Grass grows and the rivers flow
For drinking springs of purity
For cups of tea and scotch whiskey
Rain falls and we make love
Sun rays sheering past dark clouds
Warming the backs of woolly sheep
With lambs, white like innocence
they wear away, the hilly paths
listen to the whispers from the radio
arid utterances from the stinking river
brown and putrid our just deserts...

Hold on to me
Hold on to me
I am stillness and
I am something
Living here
Too
Who can take me away?
Just try to take me away
Under the heavy coverings
there is a baby
laughing
Listen can you hear ?
Call her Sophia and love her !
She is my daughter
She is wisdom
I am stillness and
I am something
Living here
Too
Who can take me away?
Just try to take me away
Under the heavy coverings
there is a baby
laughing
Listen can you hear ?
Call her Sophia and love her !
She is my daughter
She is wisdom
