Stone, timber, wood

Stone, timber, wood, standing here since time began, unmovable except by man, unmoveable except by nature, with its wildest plans, for of such forms, we have shaped our homes, and sculpted celebrations, celebrations of the beauty of woman and man, and the years have evolved, such complexities from the Earth, for we work as we […]

Stone and stones

Stone, stones and rocks, they may be cold stones and rocks, but stones and rocks they warm my heart, with their many glorious colours, in their multiple types and solidity, and how strong they are, and how powerful it is, to keep back the wildest of nature, the roughest and the toughest of nature, and […]

Stole my heart

After a dismal day, and a dismal time, I stole my heart away, for dark was life and my mind was neither here nor there, but far away, yes, I stole my heart and my mind, and my body away, to a tropical place on a summer’s day, to somewhere tropical, to somewhere far away, […]

Imagine the massive desalination of the seas, imagine no […]

Starlight and universe

Starlight and universe, what are the wonders, the wonders that you have lit up, that human’s have not seen, and how far have you travelled, and in what colours, and elements have you been, and of the complexities of your life, what are your favourite forms and shapes?

Starlight and moonbeams

Black, night, starlight, moon glowing bright, my heart beating fast, and kisses in the moonlight, kisses tender and passionate, oh, what heavenly sensations, and oh, how beautiful are your eyes, eyes filled with starlight and moonbeams, that beguile me and mesmerise me, in the glories of the night, and what a wonderful feeling, the feeling […]

Stand still a little while

Stand still, a little while, let me see your eyes, let me see your smile, please, stand still a little while, as the wind blows in your hair, and I admire your style, please, stand still a little while, but do not think me shallow, because your beauty is so wonderful to see, and although […]

Spiral

You spiral out of control far too often, you spiral out of control, and oh, how often I wish it to be forgotten, but for some reason for you I have softened, and yes, it was your smile, and your eyes that enchanted me, and by them I was mesmerised, and my heart was captured […]
