Wind Chimes

chimes, music

A wind chime,
That plays a Gregorian scale,
With deep bass notes,
Rich, round baritone,
Alto for balance,
And sparkling soprano notes,
To hang outside my front door,
Crucial to Feng Shui chi,
Health and happiness,
Entering my home
For this New Year.

A Slip of the Tongue

He wanted to ask her out on a date…
So his head was full of ideas.
Outside, under that neon sign
To the Blackly Hotel?
Or around the corner
Over on Broadway
At that little cafe?
What he actually said
Came out as gobbledegook
So she asked him,
“Are you trying to preposition me?”

The Bronze Horseman

desert, equestrian, statue

There is a statue
Of Peter the Great
In St. Petersburg
That Pushkin
Revered in a famous poem
Медный всадник (Bronze Horseman)
And this image revives its memory
Its living, breathing
Counterpart,
A man
On horseback
Silhouetted
Against a copper
Backdrop

All In

love

I’m all in.
Not defeated, exhausted,
Flat on the floor,
But
Totally devoted to you.

I’m all in.
Not desperately or hopefully
Gambling my chips on one hand,
But
Joyfully investing in you.

I’m all in.
Not inside you,
To the exclusion of all else,
But
Completely supportive of you.

I’m all in,
Not over-confident,
Or bluffing,
But
Openly opening my heart.

I’m all in,
Not sure I deserve it,
Or am half the person you are,
But
I am fully committed to you.

A Long Walk

desert, sand, walk

A golden landscape
Of peaks and troughs
One man walking
Along a shifting spine
A sandy backbone
His footsteps leaving
Ghostly traces
Of his passage
Along the dune

Blue,
Orange,
Water,
Sky,
And you,
Silhouetted,
On an island
Rock
Holding something tangerine.

A Bend in The Road

bend, rosd

It’s not the end of the road,
It’s just a bend in the road,
And, although I can’t see around the corner,
And do not know what’s coming,
If I have the courage
To round that curve
It may lead somewhere unexpected,
To an exciting future
Unless I fail to make the turn.

sleigh, snow

The sight of a horse and sleigh
Is a joyful thing
Yet it brings me heartache
For out here
In this winter wonderland,
It is the means by which
All those I love
Come and
Go…..

Raining: Barcelona

rain, walking, weather

It’s raining
In Barcelona
And the camera is
On time lapse
So the passers-by
Seem to be leeching
Off the street
Like watercolour
Off the page…

child, happiness, joy

Give me
An armful of buckets
And a spade
Lead me to a sandpit
And I’m as happy
As it is possible to be
