Finding Spring

When cold day merges into gelid night And sleep, elusive, dances around my bed I close my eyes to see your light And think of happy times instead. As the bitter darkness chokes the sky And Jack Frost gnaws on my toes My spirit leaves the room to laugh and fly And sing, seeking happiness it goes To... Sign in to see full entry.

The Rainbow

On the bleakest of winter days When skin is scoured by the bitter winds That howl and wail and blow Needles of the frozen night, A magic moment captures my gaze As against the savage sky is pinned The coloured laughter of a rainbow Painting happiness in inks of light And wonder on a page of air....

A Cold Night

Sleep thief! The bitter touch of stealthy fingers Leaching slumber, stealing rest, Claws me from my dreams. Heat thief! The deathly ice of your touch lingers And I am bereft, dispossessed, Warmth lost to your larcenous schemes. Heat and sleep are slyly taken As winter burgles late at night I recall...

Tender Moments

Tender moments, stolen from the briskest of days, Are the sweeter for such gentle theft And form rainbows against a sea of greys For hours after she has left To answer stern Duty's call And deal with the many things she can't defer While I, remaining, once more fall A little more in love with her.

Lost In A Song

In my silence the piano plays, The moonlit ripple of its gentle notes Colours every thought, each word or deed As its melancholy song Becomes a tender anthem of my days. In the cascade of its singing, I float In my contentment, free from desire or need I let the current carry me along; With wistful... Sign in to see full entry.

The Storm

Skies of black, skies of grey Smother the morning's sunlight, Grim darkness invades the day Bringing us a second night. Gelid rain lashes the ground As frigid air replaces warm In a crescendo of sound That heralds the coming storm. Bahn sidhe wind screams it's remorse, As lighting spears the...

New Year

It's a new start, a new year Where we can get it right, Do it better, become more Than we have ever been. The time is now, the place here If we don't falter or take fright We can be so much brighter than before And more gorgeous than we've ever seen, This is our chance to leave the boundaries we...

Moments

Empty moments, yet unborn, Blank pages for unwritten tales, And unimagined plots, Blanket time as far as the mind can see. Lustrous instants, still unworn By the hope that fails Or the development that dreams forgot, They glimmer, perfect and free. Minutes unfettered, unchained By memories or plans...

Magpies

"One for sorrow, two for joy, Three for a girl, four for a boy, Five for silver, six for gold Seven for a story never to be told" (traditional children's rhyme) Monochrome omens from avian seers Predict moments of joy for tomorrow, An end to the sadness and the bitter stream of tears, A rainbow of...
