EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD (4)

 

From the Bell Rock Light House

And the North Sea swells

To the Newfoundland grand banks

Were the hardy seamen dwell

I will follow you to the ends of the earth

Because you’re my special mademoiselle

EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD (5)

 

I have stood in view of the Mongolian steppes

I have stood upon the Pacific Ocean shore

I have stood on Virginias Blue Ridge Mountains

I have looked from Cape St Vincent in awe

I have seen many things in my long life

It is my plan to live to see many more

But I know I will never see more beauty

Now I stand beside you of that I’m sure

PLUVIAL SEATTLE

 

I am a sun worshipper by nature

An inclement climate doesn’t suit

But I love you with all my heart

You’re pretty and witty and cute

But now you’re off to Washington

You have decided to totally uproot

And relocate to Seattle of all places

A place of frequent rain by repute

So should I trade the Californian Sun?

For the long wet winter commutes

I worship you more than the sun

You’re pretty and witty and cute

So even Seattle’s pluvial reputation

Will not deter me from pursuit

A THIRD KISS

 

A third kiss

Is eager, yet restrained

Slow, yet purposeful

And when lips meet

Hearts start racing

But each moment,

Is savoured

This kiss, though not life changing

Will be remembered

A SECOND KISS

 

A second kiss

More eagerly awaited

Full of conviction

Yet overconfident

Hearts race unchecked

When over eager lips

Engage, like spaceships docking

And both parties forget to breathe

THE BOUNTY OF OUR UNION

 

The sun set the sky ablaze

In the silent dawn

Before spilling golden light

Through the window

Illuminating the room

Disturbing my slumber.

Through sleep filled eyes

I gaze at the window,

And on the sill

Framed in the sunlight

There sits the bounty of our union

Her golden curls aflame

In the morning sun

Smiling that familiar

Heart melting smile

But that time it was heartbreaking

Because it was a smile

I would never see again

On the face of my daughter

In earthly form

CHILD OF NATURE

 

She was a child of nature

The most special one

With a smile as warm

As the summer sun

Yet fragile and delicate

Like an early bloom in spring

Bright as a shaft of sunlight

Illuminating the gloom

Spectacular and exiting

As the days first dawning

Yet simple and refreshing

As a clear winter morning

Tempestuous and wild, like

An autumn gale blowing

The most special one

She was a child of nature
