Artist’s Model

Water-paint of upturned breast

Impenetrable as the dawn mist

All else hidden by a scarf

That I imagine surrounded you

Untouchable as the dusk’s light

That laid low your shadow

I have a desire to touch

Disturb your soft free locks

& whisper my first soliloquy

Channelled

Coldness creeps in

Through the open door

As light fades

From the once blue sky

His conversation

Easy and eloquent

A tale of a life

Passed staggeringly by

Window’s on to poppies

Girl in a printed dress

Art that takes over

Caressed as we fly

It's true I could scream 

To be there again

Back into the last

Christmas that I cried

Out on the cold moor

A derelict landing strip

Sat so clearly alone

Old ideas slung out to dry

Home Hope

The snows await, the

Low sunlight’s strength of

Reflection suggests so

Last summer’s leaves

Flicker and fall

A sharper breeze blows

Pink and crimson

Blossoms now a memory

Past limes laid to rest

Replaced by winter’s

Cherry red, prickly

Hawthorn berries

Love One

Is it about love

It is about life

Love is of life

Is it about one love

It is about one life

One love is one life

Aghast

Through hallways and shopping malls

Teenage girls, beside spotlit mirrors

Snowflakes fall, her sisters call

Why the hell you running with scissors

Why wouldn’t we think of that winter

When we walked on ice floats

Tripped unsteady, by the fissures

Thinking of you, running with scissors
