Sunsoaked
Tag-along girls on a man’s day of leisure
Never seemed strange at the time
We relished the freedom of a day in the sun
Running, long grass whipping our legs
and mud in our toes
Your Dad’s airplanes whizzing above in the clear air
competing with the sound of cicadas
The river was wide and ours to explore
In retrospect I think
your Mom must have enjoyed the quiet we left her with
The opportunity to brace herself
for all the frogs we would bring home
Never seemed strange at the time
We relished the freedom of a day in the sun
Running, long grass whipping our legs
and mud in our toes
Your Dad’s airplanes whizzing above in the clear air
competing with the sound of cicadas
The river was wide and ours to explore
In retrospect I think
your Mom must have enjoyed the quiet we left her with
The opportunity to brace herself
for all the frogs we would bring home

The Sea Dancer
The Sea Dancer
Will never dance again
She lays on the shingle
Beaten by the salt
Bleached by Summers
Cracked and hollow
An old shoe watching the waves
Warmed by Spring winds
Will never dance again
She lays on the shingle
Beaten by the salt
Bleached by Summers
Cracked and hollow
An old shoe watching the waves
Warmed by Spring winds

Summer's Treausre
Summer comes fast, heat radiating outwards into the bright day,
It's as if the people glow, their auras gleaming in this sun-drenched sway.
The liberating feel of diving into cool waters during the scorching summer's heat,
And the sun, a warm yet unobtrusive ray,
while happy children confidently at play.
The day’s adventure, skies open wide,
Each step wrapped in love’s soft tide.
A gentle breeze, the grass lush and soft,
With laughter and voices rising aloft. ...

Each step wrapped in love’s soft tide.
A gentle breeze, the grass lush and soft,
With laughter and voices rising aloft. ...

Summer Fling
It appears
I am running out of time
that fulfillment
to ease this worried mind
It could be as simple as a kiss
feeling adored in a moment
or...
it could be downright pornographic
no part of you left to the imagination
my heat conducted
anywhere you like it
Every year,
I think the same
and the season
is gone in a blink
And I am left
to release myself
when it gets too much,
inventing affairs
in all shapes and persuasions
but I still know
that the real deal
is the only...

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

High Summer
The pavement cracks and shimmers
below the magnifying glass of sun
that burns and drives the ants inside
as others free of work this day
lie down inside a case of cream
and scorch like hams around their seams.
It’s been a year now since your father died,
high summer marked his transition
from off this world to that, and yet questions
remain. Perhaps the African, with whom
the man claimed your father sought
forgiveness in the lord, would know
the answers that you seek. Often they come
to this: why do you love someone who...

The Sound of Silence
It does not begin,
it does not end.
Never hear it start,
never hear it stop.
Ceaseless, present
at every moment.
This inner sound -
an object of sense.
With willpower we dominate,
breathing at our will.
Where we are subordinate
to the sound of silence.
An entity you cannot dominate,
but harness. No beginning,
no end, just present.
Our focus leading inwards.
it does not end.
Never hear it start,
never hear it stop.
Ceaseless, present
at every moment.
This inner sound -
an object of sense.
With willpower we dominate,
breathing at our will.
Where we are subordinate
to the sound of silence.
An entity you cannot dominate,
but harness. No beginning,
no end, just present.
Our focus leading inwards.

Two-Piece
the sun is out and I'm feeling confident
watching the girls of summer walk by
but one stands out above the rest
you're looking too fine
two-piece wonder
I'm staring like a starved animal
nice day to party by the sand
watching as you down another long island
love that cute little woo
as the drink spills from your lips
slight splash on glistening melons
walking towards you with a strut
starting up a conversation
was for sure I'd jumble my words
yet the first line hits
then the next, and the next
till finally I...

We need to feel alive .
One day , it will all fall into place , patience being the observer of great deeds . Just like the summer gives way to the autumnal leaves with all the colours that shine with a chorus of choirs . Celebrating each shade and hue with harmony and good grace . The winter sneaks in when the temperature plummets and scarves and gloves of many colours cover hands and rosy cheeks and eventually packs up Jack Frost and the spring jumps hop scotching across the landscape throwing stones amongst the weeds to expose crocuses and daffodil shoots.Full of promise and delight and you see change is driven by...

Veronica was taking a shower.
That was before David walked right in.
She turned towards her roommate.
