Certainty

There is
no hiding from
or hushing death
Inhale it,
embrace it
Create a full circle
of life and ultimate destiny
Clock strikes twelve
Ready to delve
in secrets unknown

Love and libations

Once upon an era
when time was slow
patience allowed
love to grow

emotions seek
passions true
hearts so grand,
let horses thru

drinks rolled
and rolled some more
eyes bleary, mind sore
conversations amusing
turning to bore

repeating the same
love song on record
emotions random
no logic no method

Beloved fade image
hands tremble
She is so far
Mind mumbles

In search of light

thousand
colours beacon
of hope and love
is the key
where I be
if not in your heart

explicación

What is love
Passion cove
What is hate
Emotions sate
What is fate
Destiny date
What is life
Flux and strife
What is affection
Resigned attention
What is desire
Something I admire
What is lust
Kissing must
What is strength
Patience at length
What is weak
A quick squeak
Friends, foes?
High and lows
What is work
Sitting dork
Or, Perhaps,
What is love
Burning stove
What is hate
Snakes crate
What is fate
God’s bait
What is life
Dissatisfaction rife
What is death
Poison dripped
Sword in sheath
Curiouser!

that bench

we were together, forever
sat for hours, morning, noon and night
all was good, it was brilliant, bright
time passed so quickly, rather briskly.
sudden departure after fifty short years
clock stopped, still river of sadness, airborne tears
some frozen in my eyes, unable to blink
can not move any limbs, didn’t want to think
all I want is you and me and we be
sitting together, hand in hand to see sunset
or on a cloudy day, let night set
in motion, inkling of another beautiful day
and I miss you, could you find a bench
at the edge of paradise, I will find it
as long, with your sweet smell it drench
though I am not worthy, except belonging to you
which has kept me true, will let me through
rather quietly, into grand, adorned gates of heaven
leftover years of life, perhaps five, six or seven
of treacherous wait, will end soon
when on heaven’s moon, I see you smiling

Eternal town

The view is majestic,

Blue skies, spring day

city is singing that infectious tune

of love and longing

trust and belonging

Fly and be at the Vatican door

wave goodbye to Amore

saying you will be in touch

and this gorgeous, most beautiful city

loves you too much

Unfaithful

Reflections of a lantern
into glowing eyes
questioning origins
of known blatant lies
cause, necessity, a desire, a need
was it dark envy or truly blind greed
cave lit up, muted sounds rise
piercing long whispers, silence demise
logic was castigated, passion ran loose
soul was captured, hanging in a noose
power of persuasion, led to abuse
not long to refuse, final undisputed truth

Happy new year – message remains the same :-)

The new year comes
Be generous
Be nice
Be forgiving
Be wise
Do something you will be proud of
Give yourself an absolutely gigantic surprise!

Happy New Year mes amigos
may you prosper
May you have the courage to say no
May you have the courage to say yes
May you have the courage
to never ever give up hope for all of us.

2017 here we come
Arms stretched
To embrace
To never let go
Love to thyself
Hope against hope
Will with will
The only thing
humanity knows!

Looking for you

searching for the right heart to pierce
arrow of love travelling billion paces
a dame, a beauty, a princess to kiss
among these crowds, million faces
one to know, one to call beloved
with her always home, in all places
airs and graces, of life undefined

All in one basket…and broken

Love, trust and belonging
Can not help you for longing
all or nothing is the equation
win or lose is the situation
no middle ground is known
mercy is never never shown
That last single step was wrong
else was perfect, heart strong
Can’t keep it like this for long
giving life away for a song
if it is love why such rules
you take me for a simpleton, fool
each conversation is an exam
throwing toys out of the pram
You do as you deem fit
all is broken, I admit
