Happiness endless

The messages and the pictures

Are sent to beguile and bewitch us

I am there for you and you for me

To add another layer to infinity

To help us take some pleasure

To become bonded, measure for measure

The melted state that you can create

Makes me glad that you are my mate

Leaves me breathless

Happiness endless.

Conflagration

Catastrophe, conflagration, consummation

Firey furnance, feasts forrestation

Calamity, catastrophic conclusion

Mortals, mettle, meaningless

Bravery, beautifully breathtaking

Local lives, liberated

Nature’s nadir, nonentity

Catastrophe, conflagration, consummation

Regrowth, rebirth, reclaimation.

I am offering to do some flash poetry! Give me an idea I will try for some four minute verse. So come and visit the launch.

Sharing

The burdens of life and stresses of the day

Don t need to wedge us, gone and away

We are here, with  ear and heart 

Sharing good and bad, though miles apart

Our thoughts and concerns dont need to stew

Sometimes its good, to have another’s  view

A different take, a voice of reason

Helps us regain the silly season

Sharing means, perspective is regained

Or fun and laughter ease the strain

Sometimes its pure joy we share

Life is good no need for repair

Sexy images and fantasies

Make us happy boost realities

With love and joy in our hearts anew

Helps  navigate,to expand our fields of view

Friendship

I look at my friends and see such diverse human beings

What is the recipe ,what makes us gel?

With some I share interests,with some it’s harder to tell

With some I would bare my soul, but with others I would share just parts

I suppose with all, they touch my heart

Shared memories,laughter and gossip sprinkled into the mix

Acceptance of my non perfect state, a non judgemental fix

Kind gestures, actions that inspire

Are the kindling of friendships fire.

Ethereal world

Ethereal world, misty smudgeness

Reflections clear, the double gate

The sign, move on before too late

Ethereal world, swirling shadows

See the startled duck takes flight

Note the beckoning beam of light

Ethereal world, ringed sinfulness

Shadows stark prestiges danger

The portents are an indicator

Etheral world, danger or safety

Where are the demons laying

Is the gate, the key to dragon slaying

Ethereal world, misty smudgeness

Open the gate, that closes my thoughts

Step into the light to find the source

Ethereal world, disapating shadows

Taking control no more sinister

Work on myself, love, I need to administer 

Ethereal world, negate sinfulness

Tread the firm path no wistfulness

 Brightness grows celebrate magnificence

Ethereal picture, portent for change.

OAdventure

Adventure to one is purgatory to the next,

An unusual and exciting or daring experience,

Kick starts the hormones, prestiges giddyness,

Thats what they would have us believe,

Testing the boundaries,kicking the traces,

Striving to have fun, finding four aces,

Be it the adrenaline rush, or the wonder inspired,

Its out of the comfort zone, effort required,

Adventure will be high on our lists

Even where anxieties sneakily persist.

Adventure to one, is purgatory to the next,

It depends on ones psyche, whether it feels like a hex,

I read of adventures enacted by some,

Mountain climbing, and round the world sailing leave me numb,

Free styling across high and barren cliffs, bungee jumping over an abyss, 

I freak at the thought, at the mind blowing effort,

My soft psyche thinks unpleasant,

Testing the body to the limits, a half inch from death,

The thought makes me catch my breath,

For the high octane adventurers I am full of awe, 

My idea of adventure would stick in their craw.

Adventure to one, is commonplace to the next,

It depends on ones psyche if it is breath of life, or hex,

Adventure is anything we want to be

Even a gentle outing down to the sea.

Haiku

Mirage

Looking out across 

the great divide

Time slows as I

see the mirage

Coming slowly closer

Shimmering light

surrounds the image

A man emerges

lightening flashes

His hand touches

my face I am

On fire feeling 

energised alive.
