Basking in our soft soled, sequin shoes

Between the waking and the dreaming

There are things I mean to do

Between the doubtful thoughts of meaning

There is the love that I save for you

I am after finding a quieter life

I am after searching it out with you

I'm all for flying paper kites

Skipping out under silvered skies of blue

I'm all for painting picture frames

Stripping them back, to timeless delicate hues

Between the waking and the dreaming

There are things I mean to do

Between the doubtful thoughts of meaning

There is the love that I save for you

I am after reminders of simpler times

I am after minding them with you

I'm all for walks on submissive sands

Basking in our soft-soled, sequin shoes

I'm all for playing lovers games

Asking out for sensitive sensual truth

Between the waking and the dreaming

There are things I mean to do

Between the doubtful thoughts of meaning

There is the love that I save for you

Between the doubtful thoughts of meaning

There is the love that I save for you

Between the waking and the dreaming

There is the love that I save for you

Between the doubtful thoughts of meaning

Between the waking and the dreaming

There is the love that I save for you

There is the love that I save for you

There is the love that I save for you

There is the love that I save for you

Between the waking and the dreaming

Between the picture frames and the sequins

There is the love that I save for you

There is the love that I save for you

There is the love that I save for you

There is the love that I save for you 

There is the love that I save for you

There is the love that I save for you

Listen to Me and My Shadow play Between The Waking And The Dreaming on the back porch

Presently

I see the roadside rows

Of  leaning leafless trees

They are in relief, against a plain grey sky

In this moment I am mindful

I see the distant sodium lights 

Set out along the coastline

They are shining, beneath a plain grey sky

In this moment I am mindful

I hear music on the car stereo

Jim Morrison in full flow

His mojo is working, on his LA Woman

In those few moments I was mindful

Natures Gifted & Wondrous Feelings

White silver sun
In a fog grey sky
Such excitable urges

Frosted tree and hedgerow
Mist over the frozen fields
Such intimate desires

Snow drifts up the hillside
Ice forms on the river bank
Such passions are aroused

Vapour of woman’s breath
Echoes of winter’s scents
Such a magnificent climax

Soft, rich crimson, energising sunrise
Silhouette’s the young man’s home
Such as to raise his new-day smile

Vibrations From Beneath The Skin

If you should search

For something almost lost forever

& most unexpectedly

Even one might say at an inconvenient moment

That thing should reappear

Imagine then the inappropriate occurrence

Whilst caressing or massaging her shoulder

Stroking her thigh; foreplay as a woman does

To achieve that remembered sensual effect 

Deep into her erogenous zone

Without substance, yet heavy with meaning

As if the untethered float of air

Less weight than a real thought

Free, with every cup of coffee

Free, with every singles walk

Beside the endless canal

Half seen, half heard

Half sensed, half smelt

Half hearted attempt

To wash over, wipe out

Visits to the supermarket

As if in a daydream of silence

Less light than a real hip-hooray

To pay for, with your every pause

To pay for, with each sitting

In that comfortable chair
