Revealed

Knocked about, bruised edges smoothed over

Rough diamond, a touch too smooth

Shaped by all that society could muster

Trusted too many pamphlets, too many books

Stripping bare is not an alternative

For the king already without his clothes

Rivulet

Wave crash

Whiplash, onward unknown soldier

Wave crash

Sea-splash, oceans growing older

Salt water drains across the bitumen tarmac

Lit by starlight, by streetlight going nowhere

Rain water drains into rivulets

Hiding moss grown stones, rolling over

Wave crash

Pebbledash, inward, homeward, boulder

Wave crash

Cars smash, societies apart, growing colder

Available at Amazon

Crescent Moon

I don’t know when I lost you

Or when I lost myself

Beneath the crescent moon

Bathed by clear night stars

I don’t know when I lost you

Or when you lost yourself

Dust To Dust

Sand dunes

You were on my mind

Seeing straight through

The soles of my shoes

Sand dunes

You were on my mind

Another quay

Another other time

Seeing beyond youth’s truth

The midlife, in life, sayer-sooth

Another, another quay

Journeys, journeys lost in time

A glimpse behind the shoulder

Silk-scarf, swirling in the breeze

Laughter passing by there

Friends with all she meets

Perhaps she will look this way

Maybe she just might

Sand dunes

You were on my mind

Sand dunes

Looking back in time

Way down there, by the waltzer

Cheesecloth, crumbs of cheesecake

Taffeta, shiny glowing toffee apples

Joy unadorned, also candy-floss

Perhaps she will look this way

Maybe she just might

Sand dunes

Forgotten tunes

Remaindered runes

Stillness soon

Sand dunes

You were on my mind

Sand dunes

Journeys lost in time

Available at Amazon

Haikuish

Drops of dew glisten

Stars trapped in the dawn day sun

A strangers galaxy

Reservoirs covered in snow

Icicle man astride

The pedestrian's fluid divide

Bach of beach seasons

Surf over summers tales of reason

Blues sail on the perilymph
