Soul Music

Whatever mood I am in,
There is a song to suit it,
Happy or sad,
Manic or mad,
The notes carry and caress me,
My feelings are heightened,
The music is my solace,
A shoulder to cry on,
It enters my soul,
And carries me along,
Without my music,
Which is in turn all our music,
We would be sadly lacking,
Our lives would be incomplete,
For it is the music that puts the twinkle in our eye,
That extra spring in our step,
The soul music is the essence of our life,
It encompasses us in one single word,
And may the band long play on.

Freedom's Walk

How I wish to roam,
Amidst the skeletal ribs of ships,
Past the decimal point,
Along the pebble shore.

Freedom from mundane shackles,
The longed for emancipation of man,
Is elusive as the breeze,
Whilst laying in a deathly still,
Becalmed upon the sea.

'In Blue' Trilogy - Deep in Blue

Deep In Blue

In your eyes I see tomorrow,
The future reflected brilliance,
Spotlight on the coming dawn,
Far to the distant horizon.

I see a beckoning path,
A smile amidst the blue,
Welcoming me to the future,
Time stretched out to you.

I see what might be,
Happiness, laughter and light,
All that, I see in your eyes,
And I know my love is true.

'In Blue' Trilogy - Drawn into Blue

Drawn into Blue

I could stare into your eyes for days,
Each mood expressed in only blue,
Your eyes envelop my being,
With every shade and hue.
Drawn deep within those pools,
I swim amongst your soul,
In warm caressing water,
That soothes away my pain,
And holds my heart, yet still.
Held in most sensuous light,
Softened by your deep desire,
The crystal clarity of emotional colour,
Shadowed by points yet richly dark,
Spellbound, enchanted by blue,
Watching the ways of you.

'In Blue' Trilogy -Lost in Blue

Lost in Blue

Blue lucid pools,
Reflected depth serene,
Calm quiet peace,
Floating languid centres.

Water worn clouds fleet away,
Across the darkening sky,
Storms grow deeper still,
Amidst the rough wave tops.

Sparkling light reflected,
Twinkling warm candle light,
Soft enveloping water,
Ripple spilling in starlight.

In your bright blue eyes,
With dark coal centres,
I see my haunting reflection,
Lost in the morning mist.

Astrafiammante

A word meaning starblazing.

----------------------------

A point in the darkness,
A Searing light,
Bright arcs of rain,
Great leap of flight.

A chance to shine so greatly,
A point to make,
Starblazing across the sky,
Beyond the dream.

No imagination here,
But Crystal clear,
No soft hued dream of fancy,
But a gift to be.

Ode to the Sticky Yellow Note

The original, the undisputed champion,
You have conquered the world,
Where lesser have failed,
The world belongs to you, every office in it.

When I want to mark my place in a book,
You are there,
When I need to take a message,
You are there,
When I need to annotate a report,
You are there,
When white paper becomes too dull,
You are always there.

O little square of yellow,
I have a confession to make,
I recently discovered your orange sister,
A young usurper of your fame,
I am forever deep with shame,
But it is only a passing fad,
So many young flashy pretenders to the throne,
Will not linger long,
For yellow, is the only true, sticky note.
