For I once was here
amongst the daffodils and streams
in a quiet afternoon dance
with you alone
silhouetted as we were
against the trees
in the majesty
of a dying season
and though we did toy with Pan
reeling in the wild spaces
and did you hear the flute my love?
or the lyre played softly?
along the river edge
within the rushes
over the marsh
and beyond
as it takes you
takes you on
to evening grace
in the verandahs
of my mind

*** The lair ***
“In the lair
Of the mole,
Few crumbs
Left from
Last feast; –
No one
To dare
Walk in
This maze; –
*** Root ***
All the worms
Of the earth,
Must have
Known of
Such beast,
- For in
Their scare,
Sink deep,
To the east; -
*** Root ***
But the mice
- Lead the way
Out of
These caves,
Just as
If each,
Though dead,
To the light
Still craves – ”

When I tell you I love you, I don’t say it out of habit. I say it to remind you that you’re the best thing that ever happened to me.
I love you for all that you are, all that you have been and all that you’re yet to be.
And suddenly, all the love songs were about you.
I love you more than I could ever really say.
I fancy the way your laugh can light up my day.
I wish you could see yourself through my eyes, then maybe you’d understand why I fancy you.
I fancy you and all of the wonderful things you’ve brought into my life.
Fancying you is one of my favorite things to do.
The day I met you, I found the piece of me I didn’t know was missing. I fancy you, this relationship and the better part of me you brought out.
I wish I could turn back the clock. I’d find you sooner and love you longer.
I didn’t know it was possible to love everything about someone until I met you.
Have I mentioned how lucky I am to love you?
I’m so grateful I get to love you.
Falling in love with you was the easiest thing I’ve done in my life.
When you fall in love with someone’s personality, everything about them becomes beautiful.

*** The crows ***
“Right here,
- In these
Cold lands
Of snow,
Dull steps
Led me
To watch
Old trees
I miss –
*** Root ***
Here, the crows
Catch dreams
Out of
Each noise:
Gray, brown
- Torn branch,
In a
Slant fall
Of nuts; -
*** Root ***
But they, –
- These dark,
Drab ghouls
Which seems
To grab
In their
Harsh claws
My thoughts,
Were gone – ”

Through the night I do see your reflection,
in the pool made by love's tears that you cry,
in my heart, they would have their collection,
when they were gone, your heart would surely fly.
Take my dark hand and walk into starlight,
with your dark man make all your dreams to bloom,
stars in your hair, an ethereal light,
you shine so bright, within Heaven's vaulted room.
Passions, desires, they shall flow in delight,
love fills the heart and gone is strife and care,
you shall ever shine in sun or moonlight,
a star in life, your beauty you shall share.
In my vision, such a beauteous sight,
you, my angel, light up my every night.

Elysian Dreams.
Let us dance through our Elysian dreams.
through starlit night and daylight’s sunbeams,
where colours of the rainbow, alive before sight,
give you Faith to walk in daylight.
Where Love is ever fresh and bold,
our Love story, forever told,
my darling, held in your embrace,
wherever we are within Love’s space.
I lose myself within the softest brown eyes,
to be in your embrace is paradise,
come now my Love, our passions flow,
under God’s watch, our Love does grow
My beloved, we love in starry beams,
Within the desire of Elysian dreams.

*** Truce ***
“Snails come
To feast –
Right here,
In the green,
Deep world
Of the grass;
- Have some
Dew juice,
At least!.. –
*** Root ***
From the east,
So keen,
Comes near –
This shy,
Sweet lass;
- Tell me
A story,
I have
No worry; -
*** Root ***
This rock
- Ticks fast,
While in
The new heart
A spree
Pour out
- In sluice
Of thoughts,
A truce – ”

*** My eyes ***
“My eyes
Have seen
This world:
In dark,
In light,
With cold,
With warmth,
When shades,
When clear; –
*** Root ***
My eyes
Though knew:
A joy,
A tear,
In strength,
- Or weak,
In times
Of youth,
- Or old;
*** Root ***
My eyes,
- Thus close
A while;
To taste
A bit
Of Life,
- For death
Is near
My grave – ”

*** This branch ***
“This tree
Has found
My song; –
Though hid,
Thy nest,
In each
Old branch; -
Bud folds
New leaves; –
*** Root ***
It looks
So stiff, –
As if
My sight
Has lost
- In thoughts;
But light
Keeps tight
Calm rays; –
*** Root ***
My eyes,
- Brown sparks
Of life,
Search deep:
Who lives,
Or dies?!
- This tree,
My branch,
Old leaves – ”
