Daylight
We took the edge off
one last time
dropping further over
just so we could see
flowers highlighted her tangled up hair
scents of summer surrounded the air
naked, we, for a moment were set free
not giving but one bit of care
daisies danced around in the sunlight
we rolled and romanced under the trees
the highs, euphoric, withholding inhibition
we, one inside, with the breeze
love permeated through the dampness
music mellowed out in peace
righteousness, exploded in tune
daylight savoured,
it too...

Summer Swallowed
Summer I suppose,
wandered away with a miss
the hibiscus and trumpet blew
with wistful wind
yet here, at the tail end of that tale
I emerge...
Torn away alone
in blinks of tornadoes
shore the signs bastion bards
for I found
You were there, and You, and You
sweep away this sticky sweet
swollen in rapid succession
the drift upon the air wafts
with cool near, drought behind
was once bottomed barrel
drown, as sad a rat
swimming, not so, knot so
very fast
wide-eyed and pale ...
wandered away with a miss
the hibiscus and trumpet blew
with wistful wind
yet here, at the tail end of that tale
I emerge...
Torn away alone
in blinks of tornadoes
shore the signs bastion bards
for I found
You were there, and You, and You
sweep away this sticky sweet
swollen in rapid succession
the drift upon the air wafts
with cool near, drought behind
was once bottomed barrel
drown, as sad a rat
swimming, not so, knot so
very fast
wide-eyed and pale ...

Warm Recollections
The sun rises a little more to the south,
Yet the heat throughout the days lingers on,
It’s a sign that summer is coming to an end,
Like days of youth, now here and soon they’re gone.
It’s a nostalgic feeling as if it’s all fleeing,
The memory nestles somewhere in the mind,
As the days get shorter and the air gets cooler,
It’s leaving warm recollections behind.
Deep in the valley it’s a blistering heat,
The ocean breeze never reaches me here,
As the season changes I welcome the turn,
With the memory of another year.
Yet the heat throughout the days lingers on,
It’s a sign that summer is coming to an end,
Like days of youth, now here and soon they’re gone.
It’s a nostalgic feeling as if it’s all fleeing,
The memory nestles somewhere in the mind,
As the days get shorter and the air gets cooler,
It’s leaving warm recollections behind.
Deep in the valley it’s a blistering heat,
The ocean breeze never reaches me here,
As the season changes I welcome the turn,
With the memory of another year.

At Summer's End
I heard the field speak
in words of what it was.
I heard the yesterdays
begging to be remembered,
to be revived and regrow.
I heard the seeds say,
we are all still alive; we are
tomorrow's bounty in dormancy,
we are to be the next big thing.
These things I heard as
the wind pushed over the
last remaining stalks of
yesterday's crop.
The world needs us, so
we must push on, ahead,
above our earthly den; towards
the uncertain air we float, ...
in words of what it was.

What Is There To Write Poetry About
( a Quatern )
What is there to write poetry about?
The endless monsoonal humidity,
The triple digit heat clear into night
That starts again before it’s time to eat.
It’s too damn hot to eat, you kiddin’ me,
What is there to write poetry about?
That I keep wipin’ down with alcohol,
That I can’t get more naked than I am.
There’s nothin’ sexy to me come the night.
A minute on the phone “I gotta go!”
What is there to write poetry about?
You said you’d call, I slept right thru it all
If I seem...

Our Summer Memories
I know summer memories are supposed to fade away
Once fall and winter days come rolling around, but
How am I supposed to forget that summer with you?
I remember laughter, tears and sunshine as we sway
With the stars twinkling in the night sky and the gut
Wrenching feeling that this summer is not going to
To last forever like I wanted it to. I was only looking
For something temporary, but then you came in with
That megawatt smile, those sunshine eyes, that ocean
Breeze hair and I was easily losing my steady footing.
There was...
Once fall and winter days come rolling around, but
How am I supposed to forget that summer with you?

With the stars twinkling in the night sky and the gut
Wrenching feeling that this summer is not going to
To last forever like I wanted it to. I was only looking
For something temporary, but then you came in with
That megawatt smile, those sunshine eyes, that ocean
Breeze hair and I was easily losing my steady footing.

rain return
And the wind brought us the rain
Cut the heat to chill our brain,
Wonder if we go to the beach
If this rain was just a breach,
Or we’ll have back the scorching sun
So the winter will be undone,
Cloud formations in the sky
are a wonder no deny,
mask the sun and chill the day
I want summer all the way,
freezing season frosty shivers
I don’t like those stormy winters,
The are just good to stay in bed
And be fearful with their dread.
Cut the heat to chill our brain,
Wonder if we go to the beach
If this rain was just a breach,
Or we’ll have back the scorching sun
So the winter will be undone,
Cloud formations in the sky
are a wonder no deny,
mask the sun and chill the day
I want summer all the way,
freezing season frosty shivers
I don’t like those stormy winters,
The are just good to stay in bed
And be fearful with their dread.

Sounds of Summer
I sit and reminisce
of all the memories made,
in a state of sorrow
as summer starts to fade.
So many things I'm going to miss
I don't know where to begin,
it's a few short month of happiness
that i wish would never end.
It has its own rhythm
its own kind of beat,
the sound of children laughing
running in their bare feet.
Shorts so short
tan skins all aglow,
its the season of sin
in case you didn't know.
The heat consumes you
u lose all inhibitions,
on a blanket under the stars
with...

Shorter Days
sunrise comes later in the mornings
the dusk shadows gather earlier
the evening light fades away sooner
a hint of a chill lingers in the air
teasing of autumn
and of the cold weather to come
the dusk shadows gather earlier
the evening light fades away sooner
a hint of a chill lingers in the air
teasing of autumn
and of the cold weather to come

New Term (summertime ends)
Ice cream wrapper blown
All christmass presents now quite worn
And skate board edges scrubbed and torn
The summer thunder laughs and cackles
Spots of rain dimes downward splatter
Humidity so close and so much hotter
Cold shoulder of the dew its mantle damp
Sun blind of the drivers visor jammed
The air con gives up with a bang
A weather vane of shorter days
The promises that cooled of passions staid
Memories perfumes shout a last horray
The new term it is that unmarked page
To grow. not fit clothes...
All christmass presents now quite worn
And skate board edges scrubbed and torn
The summer thunder laughs and cackles
Spots of rain dimes downward splatter
Humidity so close and so much hotter
Cold shoulder of the dew its mantle damp
Sun blind of the drivers visor jammed
The air con gives up with a bang
A weather vane of shorter days
The promises that cooled of passions staid
Memories perfumes shout a last horray
The new term it is that unmarked page
To grow. not fit clothes...

Our pretty summer
Never got old after all these years
time spent with friends
through great joys and tears
created then conquered all of our fears
And wonder..how come we haven't forgotten how to play hide and seek yet?
We never say goodbye..just wait for the moment we'll say hello again
time spent with friends
through great joys and tears
created then conquered all of our fears
And wonder..how come we haven't forgotten how to play hide and seek yet?
We never say goodbye..just wait for the moment we'll say hello again

i welcome your leaving
how to lay in the field when you burn so hot, I would be ash to your glare
the moon loves me most, his tender stroke lights me fair and pure
smiling to myself as new air fresh and fragrant carrying autumn's perfume
catches my fiery hair, sending it up in wild streams
and i welcome it,open my arms wide and bask in its cooling flurry
the earth at my feet sighing in relief to the rain squeezing itself from nimbus clouds
common daisies purr against my bare skin, their days getting shorter
carrying them indoors making them beautiful in...
