Strings & Bows

She looked all washed out

And yet

She could have been you

Her frame that is

Fold over stories

Of a lovers life

Her sorrow-less eyes

Pathways

To the other side

The recording

Session near Paris

Magnificent country chateau

Too much of everything

Too little of nothing

She taps her feet

He fiddles

You couldn’t

Have stayed with me

Joy Du Voyage

Her enchanting evening sky

Calls over my silk cloud morning

All the while we have cappuccino to go

Miles of beautiful landscapes lay ahead

High kicking truck drivers

Gesture at the service station cash machine

Voluptuous young lasses, with easy

To be happy boyfriends articulated in tow

Do we have ever more air

Are there endless days of this magical sun

Bathed in the lazy magnetic salt waters

She loves to love me, to think life's fun

Someone Other’s Book

To those words on visibility

Might I add my own thoughts

On the invisible

And the indivisibility

We were rampant

As ants on the ramparts

We were frantic

As the early St Francis

Later we became

Poetic in our justification

I go there

Words alone can take me

Excited by my own words

With journeys

Through

My own imaginations

We are apart

Parted bodies

Distant flesh

Untethered and fantastic

Fey

He rose easily out of the executive saloon

A picture of elegance, the finest deportment

He walked with presence across the gravel courtyard

In his Bugatti, wool and mohair overcoat

All of this was way beyond his means, yet

None of that affected his personal satisfaction

For this lunchtime, as on many other lunchtimes

He would deceive himself, & those who looked on

Admiring his upright and self important stature

She Wrote A Poem

Late of sulphurous dust

Ache to see her yawning

In her state the wait is on

She hears the borealis fawning

It’s light, it’s dark

It’s light again

It’s skies with silver linings

She wears phosphorescent finings

Late of cumulus musk

Faked to catch her calling

In her freight the date is on

She sees the courtiers a strolling

It’s time, it’s place

It’s time again

Its flights with hidden findings

Her sights light on viva volcanic bindings
