MY SOULMATE
Mine heart and spirit doth weep For its soulmate it doth seek Ages and ages it hath roamed Seeking for its forever earthly home Always being hid in the dark Wishing for its love upon the stars The moon comes and leaves again And the sun shin

POETRY AND PROSE
As a child, growing up, most of the poems I learned at school were of the traditional type. Memorizing and reciting them, which I enjoyed, were part of the learning exercise. Free verse, a modern form of poetry, was a new experience for me. Over the years, I jotted down some of my thoughts on things, especially, on Nature topics. I always considered such writings to be prose. It was only after I learned of free verse, that I saw that they could also be viewed as poetry with a slight variation in the line layout to create a sense of metre. I referred to such writing as poetic prose and labelled some of my earlier poems as such.

my strenght
I am celebrating the 2nd year of my clearance from the call of my rare cancer, (one in a million) when I was given at most 90 days to live, yet again. My 6 specialists and the one I love then, went through with me step by step until the last moment of the remarkable call, that miraculously, I was not only healed but like nothing ever afflicted me..My gratefulness forever with whom lent me his heart, mind and soul on this journey. And to all of you on here who were all there for me. Thank you all guys. Tears are running wild at the moment creating my own OCEAN OF JOYS to be still with you. Thank you always.. a new strength found when defeat is unyielding strong and unforgiving but your presence is inspiring and your love is the crown of my hopes Shared not for sympathy, I am way past that...But for all to know that life is good...and beautiful, when we feel the sun's warmth, believe it. Life is short...Spend it usefully and gratefully. No matter how bad it is or was, IT IS STILL A VERY BEAUTIFUL LIFE.. Thank you all..
Wait for me dear
Gentle winds makes music true the breanches High note that whiping - longing for you thro' its joys and fears Low note that brings sweet whispered words speaking gently of passion to the lonely ear Soothing Echos of our lover's vows And the sp

To a million Black Stars.
This was written after my stay in South Africa in 1961, the European doctrine of Apartheid was incomprehensible and not one iota of humanity attached to it, yet deemed the God given right of those who wheeled power. If there are uncomfortable lines, then the lines are not in vain.

I have found on this one small part of the world wide web, a multitude of exceptional light workers like me. This is how we connect and express ourselves in a world that misunderstands true love. This is dedicated to you all. I love you all, our spirits always know the truth.

Sailing Home To Josephine....
This is written in memory of a happier time on the corner. For the benefit of new comers, a while back as part of a challenge ..Lady Odette became Josephine and Mizzy became Napoleon.

LADY IN WHITE
I bought a print of this old picture by Charles C. Curran dated 1913 this past week and it inspired me to write a poem about it.
Why I Love Girls
First blossom and first love are beautiful To see affection in my girlfriend's eyes Like flowers on a bush are plentiful Although - amidst - a few thorns did arise. Growing in confidence - though still bashful We think first loves - perfection

IS THE WORLD STILL OUT THERE?
Update 4/2020: I wrote this a year ago February not knowing what was going to happen in the world in the last few months. Eerily it makes one feel right now with COVID-19 "Is the World Still Out There?" being so isolated. Feb. 2019: Sometimes I get daydreaming a beautiful dream and block out the world. Finally when I return to reality - it will be so quiet that I have to look outside to see if the world is still there.
Love and Lace
What can I give to the break of dawn that it lacks of a brighter morn Where lack the gifts to the blackest night that a million stars adorn How has my hand held the sun and moon and kept them in their place By wisdoms joy has this heavenly
