I want to write your name in the snow
I want to sigh your name in deepest desire
Something my Son wrote:
I walk along an ocean
My dreams are not revealed to me
To the one I feel
I offer my hand
You showed me your smile
Our road is still long
My promise to you
Your Name
But I couldn't bear thoughts of it melting
I want to use your name in a love poem
And see it surrounded by romantic verbs
I want to sing your name in a soft song
So everyone can hear its lasting beauty
I want to trace your name in the sand
And see the ocean slowly carry it far away
I want to hear your name in my dreams
So that sleeping won't be so sad and lonely
So you will know that I belong only to you
I want to cry out your name in my sleep
So even the stars know my love for you
I want to paint your name on my heart
In colors of rich and glowing goldtones
I want to say your name in a secret vow
And promise my unending love to you forever

Bert,
lying in my arms,
sleep turning
muscle to drowsy softness.
Even, warm breathing
against my neck.
His ice-blue eyes
hidden now
behind closed lids.
Tawny sensual body
at last at peace,
or for a short time
anyways.
Everyone needs his sleep,
I guess,
even cats.

The Waters' Edge
a beautiful body of water.
I play at the waters' edge
afraid to swim out
not knowing what
lies below the surface.
It was this beautiful
body of water
that in such a small amount
felt so cool and
refreshing to my heart.
I tasted of the water
so sweet to my tongue
but I'm scared
to drink of it
unaware of the direction
in which the current
may flow.
So I guess
until I learn the ways
of such dangerous waters
I will only walk
the waters' edge in hopes
that someday
I may swim without fear
and drink of this water
until my thirst is
fully quenched.

Secret Dreams
I'm sure I dream them though
Gone when my eyes open to see
No further will they go
They're a secret of my mind
I can't recall them when I awake
A joke of the cruelist kind
My dreams aren't mine to take
Garco
To My Angel
in my heart so warm
to the woman who came out
to try a fresh start.
for you to hold
I give you my heart
my love, my soul.
as bright as the sun
you showed me your heart
for which I had won.
with things in our way
but your love feels strong
in my heart you will stay.
that I give from me
my heart is yours
til my soul flies free.

Rememberance
The beauty that once was
Holding onto the past
And these smiling faces
We remember, nan,
The memories that remain
Of what used to be
Of you, dear nan,
The way you laughed,
Your mischievous smile,
The twinkle in your eyes,
You never lost your sense of humour
Through all your pain
Amidst your confusion
You still hold on
In your world
Smiling -
At us
Or memories?
It's all you recognise
These people
Unfamiliar people
Gather around
Flashes of light
As they take photographs
And you smile absently
Lost in the confusion of everything
This was not how you remember them -
Your family
Weren't they much younger?
Children even?
And your husband,
How the years must have aged him,
And father - where was father?
But you continued to smile
At all the new faces
Some seemed familiar
But looked older -
Oh, must be getting old
Memory's not what it used to be….
They're always there
On every occasion
Giving hugs and kisses
And lots of love
They remember….
And we see your confusion
But we try to make you happier
Sharing stories with you
That you remember
Even though you've long forgotten us
We understand
But we know you try
You try to be strong
To recognise
To remember
But we understand
We just hope you know
That these faces you see
Love you
And will never forget you….
RIP Nan, who passed away 27th May, 1997

Wishing To Be By Your Side
I look upon you
I wish I could hold you
How I long to touch your lips
I keep watching from the distance
Perhaps I'll one day send you roses
right into your eyes
wondering what your thinking
and see the fire in your eyes.
feeling your skin against mine
in a soft gentle hug
with your heart beating beside mine.
to touch your lips with mine
to feel the warmth with the contact
is just something of my desires.
wishing to be by your side
wishing you could see me
out of the corner of your eye.
showing an affection to you from my heart
an affection that is so deep
from the love in my heart.
Mysterious Poet
