love is...

I first saw her in December. She was perched on the pavement, sunlight bathing her features, flowers in her hair. She had a look of calm, clean beauty about her and I was smitten. But I never thought she would be mine.

I watched her through January, planning and scheming ways to entice her into my world. Her beauty was dazzling but I began to see that her style was not to everyone's taste...maybe she was within my reach after all? I told my friends about her, praised her character and charm to the skies; they all agreed that she was perfect for me. I dreamt of dressing her in pretty fabrics, buying her trinkets of colour and light, and spending my nights safely esconced in her embrace.

In February I finally found the courage to approach her. Then, somehow, before I knew it, promises were made and she was mine!

Want to see her?
Here she is...

autumn sunrise

Autumn. Six in the morning and I've been wide awake since four. Tried to reclaim sleep for a while then the rooster crowed around five and my thoughts turned to the sunrise. I haven't watched one in a while, since I lived near the ocean several years ago and worked every second week in the desert with 5am starts. I prefer sunrise over sunset; it is so beautiful and so fleeting, analogous to life. With a coffee I came and sat in the garden. We are on a slope so I can see the ground fall away below me, the dam to my left and in front of me a tree, wearing her yellow autumn colours which are visible even in this still-dark of the morning. For a while - too long - I look at my garden and start to plan. An entertaining area to my left that overlooks the dam. A small wall to carve out an area of flatness. Curves that skate around the contours, bringing a sense of order. Then I wipe the slate clean and try to keep it more natural with just grass, garden, no walls of stone... Th...

fridge magnet poetry, or "what happens when you reduce the english language to a select few words"

Fridge magnet poetry, in my experience, always comes out sounding either deeply emotional... shake me to the shadow only to show me my weakness ...somehow bitter... she felt eternity trudge                                 pound                                 and fall through her like drool over a honeyed winter death aching with his cool beauty, a black symphony of woman worshipping man but men are delicate and always they run ...dauntingly erotic... as languid tongues part peach petals delirious love milk soars frantic over smooth white skin like summer rain ....or plainly silly... want tiny gorgeous butt must eat less chocolate ...perhaps it's just me. In other news, I made my first ever batch of home made marmalade tonight, with oranges from my friend's tree. Poetry and cooking go togethe...
