​The dragonfly sings
A glimpse of stardust
Sunlit wings
A hum of dancing colour
Darts above the water

​Butterflies

 
She turns the pages
tracing cellophaned faces
beaches and sunsets:
coloured strands of time.
 
Caressing trailed images
with well-worn fingers
imprinting memories,
seeing with her mind.
 
The fragile wings of time pinned down;
the camera never lies.
She twists her floating memories
Into glossy captured slides.

Oculus Rift divides the world
In visual fantasy,
Slip on the headset, hide away,
Escape your cries and fears.
 
Choose your prison carefully:
Drink or drugs or sex,
Or slip into a headset
Made for total ecstasy.
 
Skip the chance of paradise
To choose an earthly hell,
Creating crime and zones of fear,
In teams or on your own.
 
So what’s the point of fantasy?
To choose a worse reality?
To fill the crevice of our mind:
Our insecurities.
 
What creatures we who cannot live
The life that we create?
Fractured souls devoid of light
Will not participate.
 
We hide our heads, our thoughts and love
In fear and doubt and pain,
Waiting for the day when we
Will see the light again.

April Shower
​

Rain popping and dripping
off the roofs and pavements
Varnishing the road in a grey shine
Clattering off eaves
And gurgling down gutters and drains.
The rain eases
Birds sing their relief,
Hiding in trees they shake their heads
and flap droplets of water off their wings.
My neighbour slams the car door and drives away,
Sirens scream from the main road
And the same breeze carries the birds
Through cloudless grey skies.
I turn on the lights.
Late daffodils raise their heads
To beckon the sun.

Echoes


Your gift to us: a glowing torch,
A fuse to light our hidden dreams.
And when our tears dry
We will see
Your gift of time
And honour it.
 
Sunlight lies in every shadow,
Rainbows hide in every tear,
You love, your strength, your grace
Live on,
And sing to heal our sorrowed hearts.

Icarus
​

Firebreak in the folds
dancing away the memories.
Remember your smile
burned into my mind
fighting the flames
of old age:
The ashes of life rekindled
my heart flies with images
too high and too fast to catch.
Your face extinguished.
Too soon I realise
the net can never hold
my fears.
Dance on,
Let the flames grow higher,
Icarus falling towards the sun.

Invitation
​

We hide our eyes
And count to ten
To see our fears
Lurk manifest.
But nightmares vanish
In the light
And are replaced
With life divine.
Our days begin
To fill with fun,
Our games extend
In endless love.
So hide your eyes
And count no more,
We’ll play again
Without deceit.

​

On a Wing
​

I long to be up on a wing with the birds,
Soaring high through thermals wide,
Diving carefree, gliding curves,
Above all thoughts and earthly moods.
If longing stares could set me free:
Exhilarating ecstasy.

​

Lullaby
​

Such a small body,
Delicate miniature,
Perfect eyes, perfect mouth,
Tiny fingers, little toenails.
Newborn, lying still,
An image of perfection
Wrapped in soft angel wings,
Protected from the world.
She will never see,
Never hear or breathe.
She graced us with a vision
Of beauty,
And cracked our souls
On her way back to heaven.

​

Armadillo
​

Articulated armour
Protecting soft flesh,
Nose to the ground,
Scuffling feet.
Do you wonder armadillo
How we bear to stand
On two legs not four,
And roar from such heights,
Easily bruised,
Permanently distracted?
Do you marvel at our fragile claws,
And short tongues,
Unguarded,
Our termite days
In ever taller towers?
Or are you enjoying
Your tickly meal,
Scooped from the earth,
Warmed by the sun?

Joy

Does joy tire or get used up,
Will love expire,
Do flames burn cold,
Hearts weaken if they beat too strong?
 
Watch sunset’s grace,
The lapping shores,
Hear time eternal,
Newborn love.
 
Does joy get old
when used too much?
Do we get bored
of happy smiles?
Will diamond light
refuse to shine
or rainbows sag
into straight lines?
 
Sing joy, cry joy, live joy -
Believe
that happiness is not deceit.
Pour joy, extend and magnify
without concern, let joy revive.
