BEACH SURPRISE
I went to my favourite beach today;
no jelly fish on it - hip hip hooray!
I can swim and paddle happy in the bay
as would have been Adam and Eve's way
when I have done my one thousand yards run
the width of the beach in Nothing On.
(Of course where that sort of thing is allowed,
where nobody points at how you are endowed,
em-body-ing spirit of live-let live,
place to learn to be body positive.)

Dancing Constellations (Fireflies)
They were like tiny stars
that floated and moved
on the breeze, dancing
little constellations.
So brief, so fragile, they
came and flew on the edge
of the sky, bringing the
stars within my reach.
In that second, in my mind,
I am in the night sky, stars
come, surrounding me, then
they gently fly away.
that floated and moved
on the breeze, dancing

So brief, so fragile, they
came and flew on the edge
of the sky, bringing the

In that second, in my mind,
I am in the night sky, stars
come, surrounding me, then
they gently fly away.

Enchanted
Love is as lovely
As pirouetting butterflies
Caught on a soft Zephyr
Dancing a dance
Of sweet enchantment
The delicate sheen of love
Reflected in the gentle echoes
Of a quieting sunset
Into the twilight
Of desire
As two hearts beat
In unison
Whilst their lips
Sing a delicious serenade
Of sweet delight
As pirouetting butterflies
Caught on a soft Zephyr
Dancing a dance
Of sweet enchantment
The delicate sheen of love
Reflected in the gentle echoes
Of a quieting sunset
Into the twilight
Of desire
As two hearts beat
In unison
Whilst their lips
Sing a delicious serenade
Of sweet delight

La mer
The orchestra of waves and rocks
raised baton of the spume in flight
stinging spray against my cheek
overwhelming, awesome in its might
Percussion, its feet and hand be never still
cymbal as it rings the swell
bathyscaphe its depth compel
stand on the shore and gaze
Step upon the gangplanks hope
start the journey, leave the dock
weighed dreams that hold the tiller straight
becalmed or tossed don't hesitate
Tomorrow be, the horizon's curve
the moon and stars, are your life clock
upon the crest without...

Float Away
the angel of the liquid state
is with me as I lie and wait
in its wet and warm embrace
to drift away to inner space...
the angel of the atmosphere
comes with me staying very near
breathing in and out and in
I drift away as I begin
to let go, relax and cease
holding on to thinking's beast
to let go, relax, become
a sparkling jewel within the One
universal consciousness
where we're more and too we're less
among the stars and in between
ions moving in a beam...
the angel of the liquid state ...
is with me as I lie and wait
in its wet and warm embrace
to drift away to inner space...
the angel of the atmosphere
comes with me staying very near
breathing in and out and in
I drift away as I begin
to let go, relax and cease
holding on to thinking's beast
to let go, relax, become
a sparkling jewel within the One
universal consciousness
where we're more and too we're less
among the stars and in between
ions moving in a beam...
the angel of the liquid state ...

Merciful Demon (with Adagio)
when he whispers hot lusting luv to me I yearn to be tempted
can't resist that liquid fire burning thru my being
instantly igniting my soul by the flame of his breath
like butane caressing my flesh with his soft tongue
on a bed of silk dreaming gothic song
demons dance among fires of hell
celebrating taking of weary souls forever in darkness
chanting songs of romantic singing of dying luv
on the wings of winds as thunder rolls
feeling you suckle my breasts of emeralds
screaming for my soul back but it’s too late ...

chanting songs of romantic singing of dying luv
on the wings of winds as thunder rolls

Quiet
He wished for a quiet place,
A place where he could pray -
Not to a Bible made God
But a God of his own creation,
Of his own making,
Of his own mind.
So it is to the local park
That he headed
For a bit of quiet
And solace
To find.
A place where he could pray -
Not to a Bible made God
But a God of his own creation,
Of his own making,

I Am Proud Of The Man I Am
I do not desire to be like anybody
There is no flawless individual
Who do you want me to emulate?
I hope it is not a dissembler such as you
Show me somebody without fault
I was born with imperfections
And I am proud of the man I am
There is no flawless individual
Who do you want me to emulate?
I hope it is not a dissembler such as you
Show me somebody without fault
I was born with imperfections
And I am proud of the man I am
