Playing with Fire
Topic: Love (1995. For Rita A.) You make me itch with a listless senselessness I've not known for so long devouring my waking hours like a phoenix vision rising from the smould'ring ashes of my thoughts, torching my heart... torturing my heart with soft and gentle gold-lash rimmed eyes, eyes which fan the dull glowing embers of my mind and blaze through my slumber, leaving me restless and unrested. You inflame my senses with coyly directed glances, stoking my passion, scortching the very fabric of my being. They say I'm playing with fire... You! A golden glowing solar flare of hair of wonder and desire.
Bent
Topic: Love (1995 for Rita A.)
You crawled across the floor, beneath my arms, my mind exploded into stars ... Phosphenes danced before my face, my hand brushed your side, one look in your eyes bent me out of shape, now... I can't think straight.
Dream of the Devil and...
Topic: Love (June 1998 reflecting on events that transpired on one fateful Cristmas Eve)
In the dark small hours of Christmas night when all is quite, no sound, no light I still see that moment ––– when she cast me aside... there is no where to go on this eve, to hide, for her face still haunts me through troubled slumber while the world around me collapses, is broken, brought undone ––– and in sweat-drenched sleep at the end of night... I still dream of her, I unable to wake, or fight.
Reflection â three years on
Topic: Love (1998, Ellinbank, Vic. Aust.)
I no longer speak of her nor to her my thought longingly stray yet she is still here inside of me ––– our parting more like a death than the split of minds unreconciled... still, I love her still.
This Moment
Topic: Love (for Michelle R. 1991: taking a break on Ninety Mile beach during a weekend of Weekend Warrior Training at Dutson Downs, Vic. Aust.)
Footsteps in sand wash away in the tide:
Time does the same for you and I.
Fantasy
Topic: Love (1992, for Fiona)
Its the simple transience of your smile, the gentle hue of blue that hides, behind busy winks , and blinks;
The soft lustre of your cheeks, their glow, and that way your chin moves when you grin ––– sheer fantasy!

Toast
Topic: Love (1990, for Fiona on the occasion of her birthday, Rosedale, Vic. Aust.)
My heart goes out to thee, Oh, brightest flower of the day...
May your bed be ever fertile, In the glowing light of the sun!

Eyes
Topic: Love (1991, for Shirley Ai Kiao T.)
Like the softness of velvet, they shine,
glistening in the morning sun, so fine
Fawn brown, beaming gentleness, refined
And hinting of wonders, depths.. Devine!

Words get in the Way
Topic: Love (1990, for Michelle R.)
How many times have I thought to say, "I love you..." but the words got in the way? To say of when I wake, It's you, I wish to see! That each night, each thought of you, starts and afterglow inside of me; Your eyes, that smile, distrupt my thoughts when we're alone... 'and each time, I'm strangled quiet and fall silent... all choked up, because the words get in the way.
What Would I Do If
Topic: Love (for Monica P. 1992) What would I do if you loved me, What would I do?
I'd climb the highest mountain for eagles eggs, That's what I'd do!
I'd swim treacherous waters for pink coloured coral, Just for you!
'And I'd cross the Rainbow Bridge to lobby the Gods, For a gift worthy of you...
But I'd rather hold you and gaze at the stars, Atop some moonlit peak;
Or smile at your sun-kissed lips gently moving, In the moist morning air,
Ah! To tickle your fancy, & picnic in the hills, This too I'd do,
But most of all I'd rather be near, if nothing else Just loving you.
