It’s amazing
What a bit of sun
Can do,
Hatches open,
Smiles break
On emerging faces,
The odd cat
Jumps out on deck,
Stretches, rolls in
The warm rays,
Seagulls cry
A dryer note
And everyone waits,
Waits,
Waits for the wind.

I remember
Falling in love with you
As if the time
Was moments ago,
The first time
I saw you,
The first time
Our eyes met,
Some say it cannot
Happen that way,
But it did,
And I still feel
The urge to slip
Into the softness
Of sheets and pillows
With you.

He was never
Under
Any illusions,
Yet he never
Forgot
How to dream,
He somehow sensed
That one creates
One’s surroundings
And he was always
Surrounded
By soft beauty,
Sparkling energy,
And a calmness
That seemed
To burst forth
From his seams.

In the morning
Without warning
They’d be up
And they’d be gone,
Young loves like
Seagulls changing
Perching posts,
But then it was
The early sixties
With old morals
And ideas exploding
Into freedom,
There was always
Something going on.

The photographer
Aims the lens,
The poet
Grabs the pens,
And when
The magic happens
Illusion becomes reality,
Or is it
Reality becomes illusion,
Oh the beauty
Of the fusion
Of art.

When I notice
You looking,
Looking at me,
I often wonder
What do you see,
When you’re away
In your cerebral
Loft,
I often wonder,
What holds your
Thoughts.

I followed the moon
To the end of the sun
And when I got there
I started to run,
Until I realized
It’s never over
It’s never done,
So I slowed back down
To a leisurely stroll,
When it’s forever
Why the rush,
Hold your lover
And hush, hush, hush.

I suppose he had dreams
Of going to sea
Whoever he was
Who squatted
In a derelict boat
Dry docked in
A storage yard,
The bumpers were out
Around the bow
Ropes were draped
As if he knew how
To tie things up
Should water ever
Find him.

He said when he
Wakes up in the morning
He’s still here
And that’s good
Enough for him,
Can’t argue with that …
And the day rolled
From flat soup,
Pistachio shells in navels
That must be innies,
How else do you
Explain the collection
Of broken containers,
To labels for this,
That and everything
And why we are not
Joiners and followers
Of movement with
Manifestoes.

In The Long Dark Shadows
In the long dark
Shadows
Of a psychopath’s
Lies
Young girls
Sobbing
Can you hear their
Cries,
And it’s sad,
For at times
There’s little
You can do,
Because many in
Power and authority
Are psychopaths
Too.
