This poem only available on Lush Stories. If you are reading it elsewhere, it has been stolen.The wild geese fly through the pearl grey skies,Winging their way on Winter's breath.Gulls cry and squawk in the mudOf the estuary's banks,Pecking and picking for decaying morsels they may find.The leaden tide rises, slow and heavy,Silent until fingering waves slide their fronds up the mud flats,And then rush scouring sand in tor...

If you are reading it elsewhere, it has been stolen.Tentative smiles on meeting joy,Gentle brushes with nervous fingers;We two here are lost in this worldOf each other's breath and dawning gladness.Shy gazing into depths of longing,Need greetingPassion greetingMultitudinous delights.Here two longing lovers share a realmOf diamond-dusted sunrise clouds,And lie together on the cliff...

If you are reading it elsewhere, it has been stolen.This morning winter air sings with dreams of ice,The Snow Queen's discarded raiments festoonedUpon the bulrushes that reach to the weak sunFrom the solid, leaden depths ofGlassed-over water.The burrs are jewelled with frozen tearsOf long-forgotten dreams once crushed,Still in deathly stasis amongst the spikesUpon which they died....

If you are reading it elsewhere, it has been stolen.Gentle kisses brush this fear away;Strong arms enfold me into safety,Locking me into a fortress of steadfast keepingUntil the daylight seeps into the inky worldTo kiss the awakening daisiesAs your lips kiss my shoulders.Leaning back into your chest,Arms entwined,Two clinging, two steadying,We lie in this fiery dawn.Hips to hips a...

This poem only available on Lush Stories. If you are reading it elsewhere, it has been stolen.I see the cold, pale moonlightSpear through the windowOnto the damp-cold wood of the hallway.It stabs viciously,A burning ache of hungerFor my misery to be called forth.But how can it call misery,When misery spills out and overflowsDown the steps of the front door,Black ink seeping into wet, wan parchmentAnd feathering ugly finge...

I'm alive in the noon sun,Naked and glisteningWith the fire of the skies as I wait here, a-listening.I'm alive in the pale moon,Clad in lunar lace,Starry hopes shining forth from this still-waiting face.I'm alive in the blessed dawn,Dew runs from my core.I wished to be kissed by you; I'll wait some more.I'm alive in the twilight,Lamplight strokes my skin,Feeling my beauty; I want you within.I'm alive in your mindAs you th...

The shadows of the night claw desperately to these rocks,Roiling in fear at the thought of the breaking of DayAs it pours blinding light and heat over the soil and moss,Rending the darkness into pieces,Exploding the monsters to nothingness,Squeezing rainbows into the dewdropsBefore wiping them up and consigning them to feral history.These grey-green morning mists choke the earthBefore they are made pure whiteAnd are scorc...
