A

The short grey-silver hair
Suggests a settled state

This stasis is further amplified
By a simple story

Of a farmer, telling this particular vegetarian, who helps him marshall his runaway cattle, that truly they are all family pets

Brush

One draught of breeze
In its own slight time

Takes me sideways
Mind-move meander
At the pace of lightning

I will catch up later
In the stillness of dusk

Handful of Love

Submissively steal
Through the plumped up
Silken clouded sky

Laid on layer
Upon layer
Of happenstance dreams

Rose-hips
Cherubs &
Bounties of plentiful beams

Sumptuous
The unbound fruits
Found by free roving hands

The seductress of youth
Lets all doubts of desire
Or distance be damned

Say what you will
With the quill as your pen
Ten-to-eleven your odds do extend

Still The Empty Pages

Years, covered in a few nostalgic pages
Time, that passed almost unknowing

Sufficient still
To create a further invitation

There is time enough left
To rough out a few half worn pathways

Leave

In place of daydreams I retire instead
To my recurring
Past caring obsession

Where roof tiles
Lillie-white roses & gazebo's are absent

Plentiful are the wages that protect my urges
Years of blues sustained
By the unlimited shades of blue
