For hours I've been sitting on this rock
Where you wanted to meet me
In the afternoon hours, and now
The sky is already dressed for soiree
In all shades of orange, red and pink
Where are you, dear, when will you come?
A hundred times I've brushed my hair
A golden wave flowing to my hips
Soft and silken like the
Legendary golden fleece
Longing for your hands' gentle touch
Where are you, dear, when will you come?
I climbed up a steep path to this rock
Hi above the river Rhein
A wonderful viewpoint of the valley ...
Where you wanted to meet me
In the afternoon hours, and now
The sky is already dressed for soiree
In all shades of orange, red and pink
Where are you, dear, when will you come?
A hundred times I've brushed my hair
A golden wave flowing to my hips
Soft and silken like the
Legendary golden fleece
Longing for your hands' gentle touch
Where are you, dear, when will you come?
I climbed up a steep path to this rock
Hi above the river Rhein

the Indian elephant
The Indian elephant
I knew of an Indian elephant who worked at a circus
on an act where unhappy animals sit up and beg
and sad clowns who know they are pathetic dance
one day, the elephant stopped the act, addressed
the public
why is it that the rich pay no tax but have a choice
of food to eat and do not help the poor
out of poverty
I, he said, pointing at himself, get paid green bananas
and stale bread. not good for my digestion
I blame the capitalist system,
When the authorities heard of this, they asked if

The Ben-Varrey
Right as soon as she jumped in, I'm freezing.
Not breathing. She ain't even listening.
Can't get past this.
No silver lining.
No.
Cascading waves of grace sheds away.
Shes fading fast at incredible paces.
A figment of my imagination.
There and gone as soon as she jumped in.
Cascading waves took her away
and we lost her to the
godforsaken
ocean.
Nearly grown and still believes in magic
how could we have known she'd be shedding her skin?
Well we didn't,
and
we did this.
And...
Not breathing. She ain't even listening.

Into The Deep (The Rings Of Infinity)
Love spells of pulsating desires where dual souls stand
Whispered beguiling voices wandering across the sacred land
Sullenness of a sojourn heart to the wind has spoken
Unto the stars allow my wish for our union to be awoken
The duty of a Queen's words
The theology of our faith, must be unfurled
Take the offering of my love upon the lay of my bosom losing ourselves in infinity's rings
And take state of your insignia in your name my King
Let thy...

Merrow
The ocean
Is my mattress
And the softly cresting waves
Are my pillows
The blue sky above
Is my ceiling
And the growing moon
Is my bedside light
There i float
Drifting on the soft currents
Of my mind
As waves of thought
Ebb, and flo
Seeing of the day
In wonder of the morrow
The sky darkens
As the sea
Black as oil
Other than a streak of moonlight
Flows like crushed velvet
Soft sensual ripples
Enticing
I'm lured into it's mysterious...
Is my mattress
And the softly cresting waves
Are my pillows
The blue sky above
Is my ceiling
And the growing moon
Is my bedside light
There i float
Drifting on the soft currents
Of my mind
As waves of thought
Ebb, and flo
Seeing of the day
In wonder of the morrow
The sky darkens
As the sea
Black as oil
Other than a streak of moonlight
Flows like crushed velvet
Soft sensual ripples
Enticing
I'm lured into it's mysterious...

Floating Moonbeams
Moonbeams
Float
On charcoal waters
Shimmering on the ripples
A siren
From the deep dark depths
Rises
Pirouetting
As tricklets of water
Slip from her glistening tail
Falling onto the waters below
Her dreams drift
As the moonbeams
Fill her wising eyes
Two floating orbs
Ivory globes
Left to dream

I Swear, Guys! I Really Saw A Genuine Mermaid!
Matthew
walked over to
the lake and saw some chick
smiling at him before she turned
and flashed her fish tail before swimming home.

Love.. Shining on the horizon!
staring from the ground
kissing in the water
a mermaid is in love with the moon...
kissing in the water

The Mermaid Came Ashore
After swimming in
many rivers, the mermaid
came ashore and walked
naked all over the one
city of San Francisco.

the water-well
The water-well
There is near the houses a deep well
you can´t stick a bucket on a rope, much ropes were needed.
They used to hire a man usually the village idiot
to spend his life hauling up buckets of water.
Villagers believed the water came from the Yanjing river in China.
A man who had gone to school disagreed; it is a deep
underground river, he said. For this, he was disliked.
One day he fell down the well, but since it was not
man made and smooth a big stone sticking out saved him
from falling all the way down.

Coastal ghosts
Out of the foam
when a mighty wave crashed ashore
came a pair of transparent
horses
flying mane of course
They were last seen
galloping
upland where the mist
was settling for the evening

The Fantasy of Childhood
There was a tiny house near the main house built I think to house the elderly, but ended up being a place for old furniture, bits, and bobs.
There was a loft where we kids sat, made grand plans
of great daring, mostly in Africa.
Sometimes with the help of a few crates, we made a ship and set sail, Naturally, my friend whose mother worked in a cake shop and brought us day-old cakes, was the ship's captain.
