In case you might be curious, I have added audio recordings of the following poems, Pillow Talk, Fulfilment and Villanelle by Water on soundcloud. If you would like to delve further, you can access other poems that I have added to the site. I hope you enjoy.
Hold me, don’t deny your love
teach me, the truth of the dove
give me, your wisdom that glows
kiss me, deeply in the groves.
Search me, I’ve nothing to hide
touch me, the smile’s in the ride
seek me, I dance in the sky
dream me, you’ll see me walk by.
Leave me, sorrow is the thorn
hear me, singsong of the dawn
see me, furrowed with a frown
love me, burnished by your crown.
Like the lapping of the sea
a ceaseless tide
Like the birds that fly free
across the sky
Like flowers that dance bright
in the breeze
Like the morning tea
a welcome sight
Like walking on the beach
a sensuous delight
Like the sun riding high
flaming with light
Like the swish of the trees
tickling the soul
Like waterfalls that pour
a primeval roar
Like the release of spring
mantled in green
Like picnics in the fields
singing with laughter
Like the fruit of autumn
harvest of hope
Like snow on the hills
a weighted presence
Like the pulse of the earth
this elemental love
The Wonder of Love
The wonder of love is the look
bathed in brightness, a sparkling eye
flowing pure like the pristine brook.
The wonder of love is the look,
a rill of hope that beats the book,
red pages flying through the sky;
the wonder of love is the look
bathed in brightness, a sparkling eye.
Swimming
Gliding through water, sweet release
splash of softness a welcome thrill;
raise the mind to its rightful niche
gliding through water, sweet release
dazzling blue enriching the peace,
appeasing blows that dare to kill;
gliding through water, sweet release
splash of softness a welcome thrill.
Would you, my dear?
What’s that, my dear?
You know, my dear.
I don’t, my dear.
Go on, my dear?
Not now, my dear.
Why not, my dear?
Too hot, my dear.
Oh no, my dear.
That’s right, my dear.
A shame, my dear.
I know, my dear
Let’s go, my dear?
Where to, my dear?
Don’t know, my dear.
Don’t go, my dear.
Why not, my dear?
Cooled down, my dear.
That’s grand, my dear.
Shall we, my dear?
Why not, my dear?
You’re scrumptious, my dear.
You’re divine, my dear.
