My Love
I will gather breeze in my palms,
I will hold the wind in my arms,
I will pick you up on my wings,
I will get you free of bitter things.
All my tenderness will be an ocean,
I will show you all my devotion,
I will smooth out your old wounds,
You will hear new beautiful tunes.
I will make you feel drunk,
I will make you find your spunk,
I ...

The Last Chance of Honesty
As little boys and little girls
Play witches toys for stabbing pain,
The universal host makes better those you
Send insane, and if covenant who power seek
Send little knives of hate,
Then returned through the mirror
Of the Angels be all the pain you raise!
Michael.

The Hearts Quill
The Hearts Quill
I can write with a classical slant,
Expressing with the medium of words all descriptions of
Love written so many times before,
But critics would grin,
Readers would hash through painfully,
And I myself would declare this be nothing
More than an antiquated rant,
Yet, here I am,
Thin...

'The Honesty of Love & the Ending of it'
“How was it for you?”
“You’re the best I’ve had so far today”
A lust of love that never ends
“How was it for you?”
“I’ve had better”
The end of a romance
And a murmur of a love
That could have been
“How was it for you?”
A question thought
But never asked
A love that is deceived
As required
An acknowledgement of ...

The Light of the Sapphire
Big Thank you to Biosphere of which the music Antennaria accompanies this poem. Big Thanks from an Ex Soldier. x
The Light of the Sapphire
We can describe the forever incandescence of autumn nights
Where winds make dramatic all imaginations for the need
To live!
But that, in essence, like the flam of custard
Now cold, only tells of skin war...

watering mother
Too frail for a flannel now
she stands beneath a peal of rain.
Her daughter wields the watering can.
The water has to be just right -
elbow-measured. In this way
the tables turn, mother becomes child.
There’s a delicacy, feeling safe,
now privacy has gone. She’d thought
that seeing mother naked
would be wrong.
But, carers are dis...

cable laying
Communication of the deepest kind
across the depths of undulating oceans.
Marconi knew.
He wanted words to spread.
Isthmuses and continents are linked.
Communication.
I didn’t understand until we met
at Poldhu Cove and visited the monument,
our pilgrimage.
With your usual grace, you touched the panel.
Fingertip to bronze,
communicat...
