Exorcism of a Butterfly
I’m fortunate really.
I had him at his best.
The slug, wrapped in his painful cocoon, emerged with a little encouragement.
And he was beautiful. Magnificent, even. Powerful, but fragile.
Suddenly capable of flight.
But a Butterfly has a very short lifespan
And looking back from a year later, I can hardly recall his brilliant colours.
Slowly fading to grey.

Red Wine
I love my red wine, cheap and rare
If it was up to me I would not share
I love the feeling I love the taste
I go through a bottle like an ounce of toothpaste
It makes me happy, Bold …never shy
It is always my comfort if I want to cry
Love
What colour is love?
is it pink and red and pretty?
or is it kaleidoscope of light and dark, multifaceted, sometimes just a translucent glow
What does love sound like?
is it beautiful words, a sigh, a low passionate moan?
or is it the sound of a quickening heart
What does love taste like?
is it sweet and sensual like ripe strawberries?
or is it the moment you and I blend (more…)
glimpse-glistening
glimpse-glistening
sunlight
streams in orbit around Titania
fairies cloud her form,
swinging decadently along her neck
to drip
diamonds
into palace pools of skin-reefed valleys
a mermaid’s
bless caressed
wrinkles of arousal,
pout before her Love

the musician
have ever hands so beautiful
counted much
yet so very little
the toucher of sound
unable to hold a heart
or a truth beyond fiction
would your dancing fingers
not love to embrace a moment
unstolen and existing in perfect purity
and don’t you wish
that you could hear this song
the way I do
