My stories

The Flame

Our love is alive, burning within Our love is a flame, living within, From a touch to desire From a kiss to a fire, Our love is a sigh crying inside, Our love is a whisper, pleading inside.

The Force

Love calls the Force, The Love that rocks the cradle, The Force hammers the rocks, The Force that breaks the waves. The Force drives the Pulse, The Pulse that beats the Rhythm,

Shosholoza!

_ _ _ O . . . _ 2010 We are pushing!!

To Mirhandah

Your children are not your children They are sons and daughters Longing for life Longing for itself. They come through you But not from you, They are with you Yet belong not to you.

thunder and tenacity

rachel and ruth tamar and tempest thunder and tenacity six daughters six sisters but sweeter the day and sweeter the dream nearer the day and nearer the sea sweet oh as sweet

rocking chair

Posted on Thu, 08 Aug 2019

Yes Richard, "somewhere they pause and remember" "generations of childhood". What would a porch be without a rocking chair? A witness from the cradle to the grave, a trusted friend.

By the way I really like the poems more,

helen or cleopatra

Posted on Sun, 12 May 2019

Indeed. They say one woman can bring a kingdom to it's knees. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.

A very good poem and it does make sense but I have to admit I don't understand all of it.

I know some good ones too, a cowboy one, "played five aces, now playing harp". Here is one for an unknown british soldier simply, "he didn't keep his head down".
