A heron looked on
8 June 2020
The pond was icy
Surface a thin pane of glass
Like mirror it cracked
The gap extended
Glistening scales gleamed within
Their presence promise
A heron looked on
Slowly the surface did break
The fish would come through

Ocean greets me kin
24 March 2020
This is not a play
Tragedy nor comedy
This is a life’s toil
I splatter the drops
The waters in rivulets
Aspire for bay
Ocean greets me kin
Movement of waves like my skin
A body of clay

Slow fall drops of rain
21 February 2020
Hear pitter patter
Slow fall drops of rain
On my window sill
Mind wandering back
Memories that my mind drain
As I sit so still

Tomorrow we sail – Eventide
Into heaven’s frame
10 October 2017
Water lilies float
Bed in no need for pillow
Yellow gold in pink
Leaves intertwined lay
Upon a still pond’s surface
Like sheen of my heart
The water whispers
To leaves and lilies molded
Into heaven’s frame

Passion’s hue
13 September 2017
Come and play
Let me be your clay
Handle me
Carefully
Whisper lovingly
Words of glee
Stroke my nose
With tip of your beard
Is that weird?
Play the part
Riddle in my heart
Whence to start
Multiply
Love beyond the lie
As we sigh
You yearn too
Deep red in dark blue
Passion’s hue

Morning optimism
14 August 2017
The sunflowers hope
That mornings will turn brighter
So they stay in sun
Sunflowers hasten
Their desire locked in black
Seeds that stay inside
Morning optimism
Meets midday where sun will stride
To point of sojourn

When no words are needed – Stive Morgan and Moon Haunter
Between mind and heart
24 February 2016
The leaves in tight row
Bordered the alleys that wound
In between patches
Within my bosom clearings
Sat in toasty clusters of thought
Compact flowers shone
Sturdy milk white petunias
All cramped within pots
Tepid ideas roamed slow
In mind’s glowing flushed harbours
Warm winds blowing hard
Mixed petunias and green leaves
Left nothing untouched
Steady confusion of mind
Made patchwork of ideas
The dust riding fast
Sweaty summery playgrounds
Sweltering desert
Pieces in taut memories
Grew hot blizzard in my soul
The Earth cried out loud
She recognized not her pair
Earth and sky repelled
A heated debate ensued
Between rigid mind and heart

Lights & Motion – The March (Official Video)
Like milk and honey
16 February 2016
We will meet quiet
Where snowdrops once pierced in birth
On snow powdered cliffs
Chalk white images
Dance in playgrounds of my mind
Glassy retina
Double leap of faith
Continuous pace of dream
Into ether’s cream
A dip into blue
Velvety home to my kind
Raised in buttermilk
Waters will wash off
Age-old fluid cleansing tool
The condensed sorrow
I wrap around you
In smooth effortless fusion
Like milk and honey

Conflagration of Senses
9-10 February 2016
The wild at hearts flare
Like masterpiece of summer
Scorching the dried woods
The wildfire a blaze
Best pick of the century
A view nonpareil
Trophy of brightness
Uninterrupted by rocks
Moss shriveled by sun
Flaming pearl jewel
They attempted taming it
Flushing flash of fire
Like stone ornament
Of precious roots uncovered
Sparkler’s crystal light
No glass contained it
Conflagration of Senses
The infinite heat
