Lost in the tropics, mosquitoes and flies
Sucking my blood, Draining my life
Humidity stricken, sticking like glue
Sweat drips profusely, too hot to snooze
Night lamp flickers, nocturnal creatures play
Their conversation erupting, yet silence in the day
The smog filled sky, barely shows the moon
Reminiscing moments, passing so soon
Hours and days, that has disappeared
Victim of time and forgotten years
Withering away, with experiences learnt
Older and wiser, for I've been burnt
Sad thoughts and anger, flow into me
Afraid and broken, for being unable to see
Fallen to lies and false beliefs,
What happen to truth and loyalty?
The floor fan spins, blowing warm air
Regrettable past, now my soul is bare
I thought at times, love is only for fools
Losing all hope, then I found you
Loneliness and despair, sink slowly away,
An eternal flame, cast shadows that waltz and sway.
To the beat of coming rain and stirring wind,
The heavens open, cleansing our sin
Past lessons remembered, how to forget?
Not dwelling in history, or past regrets
Your not my first, but will be my last.

Roses are red and violets are blue
Do you know what flowers are saying to you ?
Do you know the language of all man kind ?
Created for love and every days life
When two hearts long for each others touch
Then blue violet is the flower to trust
Blue violet is faithful and always be there
Will stand by your side in good and bad
When withered flowers your way will come
As return for your hopes and wishes in life
The emblem of love I shall have for you
A single red rose in her full bloom
Wishes are granted by heather in white
Red tulip says always what’s in his heart
Arbutus says only “ Thee Only Do I Love “
White carnations are a woman’s good luck
You see my friends flowers are life
Life that blooms and withers with time
Just like the hopes you carry inside
Hopes that one day may wither and die
So please give flowers to someone one day
Remember that flowers show that you care
Remember ladies all over out there
…that man are people, have hearts as well.

the dark side
of the sun
sunny side up
i begin searching
in the soul
with light
from the moon
caressing deep
dark space
twinkling stars
shining
winking i look
upon the moons
face smiling
silver shadows
dancing
fluttering light
in the trees
hiding
seek and you will find
as night speaks
i whisper
softly
without a voice
not lost
dreaming something beautiful
a lonely wolf
upon a mountain top
coming out
of the shadows
howling into night
one with his shadow
lighting up
bright in
the dark
in the moon face

In deep blue
Awakening senses
Cold opening
Innermost eye
Deep inside
Hidden away
Feather soft
Cotton feelings
Touches upon love
Softly bound together
In golden thread
One treasure
In a circle
Of emotions
A beautiful presence
Fireworks explode
Two souls kiss
Friendship touching deeper
Than the skin
Drawing emotion
Poetry
in the making
Love within
Kissing one soul
Without lips
Snug in a blanket
Warm and tender
Drawing out
The one rose
A fairytale dream
I love the sparkle
In your eyes
When I
Look into them
Beyond words
a softness
Echoed
in the heart
As butterflies
They flutter
Dancing feelings
Lie deep within

On the Firing Line!
A First date with a woman you just recently met on line
What is she really looking for …
A romantic poet just like me … Lol
She Seeks!
His inner secrets, his health, how’s his teeth. Does he have bad breath, shaves, polishes his shoes, make of his car, profession, bank account. Does he own his home or a yacht or rents a cold water flat. Is he paying alimony. Does he have baggage. Is he a gorgeous spender or a cheap skate
Do other women find him attractive
Is he dating other women, Is he marriageable material.
Why isn’t he married?
A man to tell her she’s beautiful and has a body
that he would die for!
A Free cup of coffee
A prize catch to have and to hold
Nothing serious, just a man to wine & dine her
A contest to see how many dates she can get on line
Looking for Men just to fill out her score card
A man to make the other girls jealous
A meal ticket
The Gold digger wants her man to be a gold mine, so that she can put her no trespassing sign on!
A travel companion to take her around the world
Just someone to tell the other girls about
A handsome Prince
A muscular Jock
A polished Gentleman
A ball room dancer
A father and a home for her five Kids
Perish the thought, she just wants a one night stand to get rid of her built up stress and anxiety!
A live in is great, but marriage is out of the question!
................
The Flip side of the coin!
The young men want to score
The Bachelor wants to keep his bachelorhood intact
The Middle age men want a younger woman
And the old men just want a companion
……………………
Love should be about an inner love of one’s heart and soul!
The finding of the right companion to take life’s journey together as they grow old!
Oh! To pass the woman’s first date test
To graduate and be the best!
…………………….
Oh! My God, she wants a second date ….
God what is she looking for ………………..

in the cemetery
one of love
dying many times
etched deep
circle of life
each time
shines golden
silent voices
without words
as the plot thickens
whispering inside
treasured feelings
emotions rise
sparkling lights
in a distance
close your eyes
i am dreaming
is any of it real
do dreams ever
come true
the door creeks
chambers begin opening
slowly handing
the keys over
awakening
to you
a dream

emotions begin
to play
within one's body
sparkling
in the fountains
of life
power to generate
such a soft feeling
within the soul
you raise me up
in a beautiful wave
galloping unfurling
rolling it in front of you
the carpet red
in passion flows
upon an ocean
blue deep
i offer to you
a ship
to set sail
heading the distance
paradise island
wildest dreams
please jump aboard
my love
firstly take a sip
from one of
the finest
of wines
let the journey begin
if only i could
take you
in a circle
around the world
docked underneath
a coconut tree
just to hold
your hand
in the sweetest
of dreams
touching fingers
feelings petal soft
to look into
those eyes
melting upon
the embers
moves emotions
within my soul
you dance
with butterflies
one can see
an ocean swelling
bursting forth
with me dropping
plus you
head over heels
hand in hand
we will walk
the path
to paradise

only love
can make
a soul
creep out
from within
its hiding space
opening up
giving wings
fluttering hearts
begins beating
to the same tune
touching feelings
souls mate
two hearts
begin building
one castle
dreams joined
together their kingdom
a paridso
of emotions
one masterpiece
Piccasso of dreams

Take me to
your fairyland
upon gossamer wing
Unveil my rosy cheeks
and each blushed
pink within
So I would bathe bare
within the cascades
of your lips
embracing beauty
Awaiting your moist kiss
Snow sugaring
your sweet lips
Feelings fluttering
Dancing with butterflies
Softly breathing
Melting into paradise
Stealing one eye
A soul emotion
Magically in dust
Holding my world
Beautifully under
The moon
in a trail
Of magic

He: Even though I’ve known you for some time, I want to know more about you. I have a ‘million’ questions and or discussions I’d like to have with you…
She: Hhhmmm, sounds like fun, fire away…
He: So, who are you really? What makes you tick?
She: We’ve been in sleeping in the same bed for 2 years and you don’t know?
He: I know some, but, as you know, I was ill, and I could not focus on you as much as I’d like to have wanted to…, as I’m beginning to recover, my curiosity is building up…
She: I understand, begin, ask away…
He: What are your expectations about our relationship, really? I mean we’ve had some very, very rocky times, how do you really feel about us right now?
She: Don’t know, still making up my mind as we go along…
He: Yeah, me too… I love you deeply, you know that?
She: Nope, I’ve just got your word for it, I mean I catch glimpses of it here and there…, but nothing definitive…
He: Tell me about some of the items on you ‘bucket-list’, i.e., your dreams and aspirations, even though you may think you’ll never get to do them…
She: I want us to have our own home by the sea and I want us to be financially independent…
He: Amen to that, I also very much want that.
She: I want to know that you have my back!
He: Me too, ditto to that…
She: I like your profession as an antiageing therapist and I want you to keep me young as long as possible…
He: Me too, ditto to that…
She: I want us and my our extended family to be happy, and I want us to get along...
He: Me too, ditto to that…
She: Your turn, lets take a break from me for now, what are some of the things on your list?
He: I want to travel regularly to my beloved Africa, I want to walk with lions again, I want to frolic in its vast and powerful oceans, I want to be chased by elephants again, I want to be awakened by the wild chacma baboons, and I want to have a delicious cup of organic chicory coffee with home-made choc chip cookies and pancakes [with real organic maple syrup] made from almond flour as I commune with the baboons, I want to feel the thrill and danger that a lion might eat me today…
She: Goodnight, you’re insane…[accompanied with nervous laughter], that would scare the life out of me… I’m a sensitive and cultured European, you know…???
He: I want you to share these experiences with me, I want to see the thrill and wonder and hear you laugh with abandon as we chase a wild white rhino…
She: Mommy, save me…
He: I want to take you to Houston to the rodeo, and I want to eat ‘paleo’ chili dogs with you as we walk around immersing ourselves in the heart of Texas…
She: I cannot even imagine that, its so foreign to me…
He: I want to take you dancing to some of my favourite rock and roll dives in Houston, and I want us to twirl and whirl and even get a little tipsy as we gulp down some thirst-quenching Texas beers…
She: Now that I can handle, I love dancing and drinking…
He: Ok, your turn, so, what else is on your list…???
