Lady lady watching me
every time i stop to see
lady on the sands of time
calling me with her mystery

cold ice dancer
raspberry ripped
clean clean glass
muscle stripped
no passion spared
whirling storm
he held her high
strength and form
carving crystals
blade and steel
spotlight night
a show for real
judges gasp
audience hail
pinnacle display
they could not fail

About this poem:
Really enjoyed the ice dancing in Beijing, and those guys are strong holding up partners with one hand, even if they weigh only 50 kg its amazing to see. I'd struggle with 10kg over my head!!

I was running in Majorca
at some indecent hour
when in the road
I came upon
the ghost of Chairman Mao
The acrylic shorted stalker
stopped me with a bow
I kneed him in the bollock zone
the ghost of Chairman Mao
He didn't take it kindly
a spectral sort of sour
then dropped me with a Kung Fu leap
the ghost of Chairman Mao
I hiked it down an alleyway
but with supernatural power
he relieved me of my running shorts
the ghost of Chairman Mao
So take it as a warning
as a warning take it now
its best to raise a platitude
if you meet the ghost of Chairman Mao

There is a state between happiness and sadness
That is a basic human emotion
It provides a relief from life's stresses
And stimulates a mode of deep reflection
To be happy all the time come what may
Is nothing other than a fallacy
So live your life as it unfolds each day
Be honest to yourself most sincerely
Face the good and bad with equanimity
Coping with the bad times may be tougher
Know that all things will pass eventually
And subsequently you will be stronger

Silver shines back one picture of a goddess
centre stage before the eyes enters soul to soul realm
standing purely hot blue flames ignite every gasp
breathing on a bed of roses sleeps beauty
The breath stops breathless apex splendour
within you precious jewels striking darkly haunting
princess happily kissing over and over sugar coated
heartbeats back skips with angel kisses
Warmly upon the throne sitting queen
dancing with shadows crowning moonbeams
cradle of love is where I capture your space
reserved only in my dreams of you
Temple of light I blow the softest kiss gently on wings
to embrace the altar of a soul's other half destiny sings
captured in space the greatest mystery of life
invades when you sit upon these knees
Purely joy angelic smiles looking into your eyes sparkles of starlight
on a blazing trail of magic dust always there I find thee
missing piece of the puzzle fits holding hands surely heaven here
in this world I have found in you this heart's treasure, be my Queen
As your heartbeats a pulse quickens through your fingertips
this heart is yours for keeps to go on forever
sure as the sunshine kisses morning dew
Your love inspires the one in a thousand dreams come true
unrhymed quatrains

The starry skies
The moonlit night.
Oh, let's just sit back
And gaze this pleasant sight.

Each weekday I must go to school
To face class assignments and tests
My parents tell me remain cool
But I am worn out from the stress
Teacher says I can top the class
If I work just a bit harder
To me that's a very tough task
I'm not sure I can deliver
Still, I too wish to do better
And honestly feel that I could
So I shall strive to try harder
And must do whatever I should
I shall heed my folks and teacher
And seek to do my very best
Perhaps I can find an answer
By learning to cope with the stress
Where there's a will, there is a way
I must stand up and face the stress
And I look forward that some day
I'll finally achieve success

Love's petals are plucked
in fields of indigo rain
like a storm up on the mountain
with no shelter to be gained

In the gentle whispers of twilight's embrace,
Where love's fervor finds its sacred place,
I long to serenade you, my cherished desire,
In verses that set my soul afire.
Like the sea's relentless dance with the shore,
Our love entwines, forevermore.
In your eyes, I find celestial realms,
Where passion ignites and the heart overwhelms.
Your lips, a tapestry of unspoken words,
Unveiling secrets that the universe affirms.
With each tender touch, a sonnet unfurls,
In the language of love, our souls are immersed.
Your laughter, a melody of joyous delight,
Resounding through the depths of the night.
With every smile, a thousand stars ignite,
Guiding me through love's celestial flight.
As the moon weaves its silvery threads,
Our love blooms in radiant shades and reds.
In your arms, I find solace and reprieve,
A sanctuary where our spirits believe.
Together, we wander through fields of dreams,
Where passion flourishes in nature's schemes.
In the fragrant embrace of blossoming flowers,
Our love unfurls with transcendent powers.
Like a river that finds its way to the sea,
Our souls merge in harmonious decree.
In the vast expanse of love's infinite hue,
I am bound to you, and you to me, too.
So let us dance to the rhythm of desire,
Igniting flames that never tire.
In the style of Neruda, our love shall sing,
A symphony of hearts, forever entwining.
