A Master's Delight

I say to you truly The seaside and its manor a relationship most obscure Avant-garde I should say Listening to wind waves that wash and grind along the way Filling lukewarm days bristling with salty aftertaste She looks outside Standing on the ledge of a wooden escapism of modern times - the window...

As Ancient As Me

Topple me over with wings Untie the rope that clings I am a castle down by the sea and held upright by the people you see Take a walk down the hill Sloping and lopsided it stills the footpaths that trudge the narrowed path that takes me up again to be seen Bowed down with beauty and chains I once...

A Potter's Clay

Neither distraction nor a mind unfree A tireless preacher he sits unknown that his hands form a task A tiresome task some say to the form of his mind A vivid picture and the result of a taskmaster Some say the hands that mould be the master and some say the clay captures the truth of the master that...

An Afternoon of Sorts

An Afternoon tea of sorts An engaging with a vignette Croissants and sandwiches, some delicates like curry puff An engagement and an encounter..

The Beautiful Woman

I know that I am a wonder to you Hailing from someplace unknown I stand on beaches that seas rush to With sand on my feet to show O hail the sky That measures up to me And treats me as the beautiful one A woman am I Distrusting you see Of the camouflage that you set at dusk I stand with colors all...
