Bars (senryu)

with my memories
that the bars cannot contain
- love's fluidity

Lunacy

masked for protection
against air not fit to breathe
- lunacy prevails

Night Fantasy

Deep beneath the tranquil waters

there reflects a depth of stars 

The ambient moon illuminates

the night's elusive promise

As the day's heat resonates 

in my pulsating, throbbing veins;

constellations dance in moonlight, 

merge, to depict your handsome face

Beckoning me into your arms,

coerced by the lake's cool breeze 

The owl's primal, mesmerising call

envelops my wanton... needs

Colour of dreams (haiku)

the colour of dreams

sparkling, dazzling, vibrant hues

- transcends skin spectrum

Primal Duet

Tonight they were both touched, clapped by wild thunder

Lightning relentlessly struck in their passion's wake

Riding together through the endless twilight fever

Intoxicated by the heather's sweet sensual scent

Enveloped in the mist's thick blanket, gifted from the loch

The mountains returned echoes of their love's primal duet

Their jewelled skin glistened, pooled in the moonlight

Electrified, their spirits transcending the physical realm

Time froze in that moment, lying beneath the majestic sky

Sweet surrender to ecstasy cascading through their souls

Tiger's Eye Sky

As she embarks upon the endless 

amber hills of parched meadow grass

She feels protected beneath 

the quartz crystal - tiger's eye sky

Like the distant gentle ferns meandering 

exquisitely against the violet fells

The hardy, diaphanous dandelion seed 

carried upon the mercy of the wayward breeze

She knows... that she too will survive.

My Prayer

I find it ironic that we build places in which to worship,

when it is within nature that I find God, our great creator

I worship in his temples, crafted with such love and perfection; 

our majestic natural world, in my uniquely tailored flesh

I hear the ancient trees whisper their hymns and psalms of love and peace

I see life cycles all around me; wax and wane as does the moon

I feel love's clear vibration, the energy given and received

I smell the fruit bushes and trees, the honey and the salt of the sea

I hear birds rejoice in song of beauty that's bestowed upon us

I see nurturing, care and empathy given within all life

I feel protected by the caves, mountains; the shade of the forest

I smell fertile soil which feeds vegetation and which then feeds me

I hear the rain, its rhythm echoes the heartbeat of all living things

I see compassion and love's light twinkle in the eyes of their souls

I feel the air, the sun, kiss and caress my skin; restoring health

I smell timber burning, providing us warmth as the nights draw in

I see no need for walls and a roof as they block out the sky's grace

I'm christened by nature's pure waters; the light of the sun and moon 

I take my communion from the plethora of food provided

My prayer for all - 'Feel love's vibration and of life's bounty share.'
