Impetuous

Still, still night
Soft spoken voices of love
Permeate, drift beneath
The hotel bedroom window

He is deeply interested
In her lead-on words
She is encouraged
By his warm laughter

Stay, stay the night
I listen to their voices
We cannot resist
This life of temptations

Channelled

Coldness creeps in

Through the open door

As light fades from the once blue sky

Her conversation

Had been easy and eloquent

A tale of a life passed staggeringly by

Window on to snow

Girl who simply had to go

I could scream just to be there again

Out on the cold moor

A derelict & still landing strip

My lonely ideas hanging out to dry

Row

Steps to steal away my resentment

Rails to reel off whiled away hours

Time to watch the faded grass & flower

Shower over that love

As once the coastal towers

Powered another kind of war

Loss touched along the shoreline 

Unable to handle that which turns sour

The smitten intellect weaves with power

Seeds planted above 

In ground roughly scoured

Reminders of a ravaged mind in store

Atlantic

She had a delicacy of touch

Retained in her cerebral cortex

So grounded it resounded as love

She showed me grains of sand

Beside wind-blown sail’s shadows

So deep as to impound my lust

Under a dangerous clear blue sky

Waves lapped their own response

So close to ease her conscience

There are, for some, a few moments

Peak experiences as she emerged from

Precocious, in this time of faith

Mon Plaisir

I cannot drill down any deeper

I am unable to magnify the view

Yet I do remember a window

The lane I thought a little steeper

Wasn't there a garden & a small kitchen

With two colourful cockatoo

& to each side, fields of potatoes

Before the long curved beaches

Although, out beyond the reaches 

I was, as now, so often absent

Just as the image shows

I regularly strayed out of focus
