Nude Model
I gaze upon her nakedness.
regard it with an artist’s eye.
A woman nature chose to bless
with beauty which would satisfy
Criteria which men devise
in their attempts to classify.
What is most pleasing to their eyes.
With flying colours easily.
I see her as a work of art
a subtle blend of lines and curves
and changing flesh tones which impart
A beauty which appeals to me
both as an artist and a man
I must portray as best I can.

Just A dreamer
I know what others do not know.
I see what others do not see
I know exactly where to go
to enter worlds of fantasy.
I’m just a dreamer I confess.
Something I would much rather be
Than striving always for success.
I don’t care what you think of me.
The dreams you dream depend upon
becoming a celebrity.
When your dreams fail, you’re still unknown
I’ll still be dreaming happily..
I value my ability
to create worlds of fantasy.

Helpmeet for M 'lady Ann
I don’t pretend to understand
the workings of a woman’s mind.
It is much easier I find
to let her know she can command
My full attention when she needs
someone to listen to her woes
and this apparently succeeds.
Though why or how no man can know.
She doesn’t want solutions
she merely wants to ventilate.
(A fact few men appreciate)
until her fit of blues is gone.
The female mind’s a mystery
which responds well to sympathy.

Battle Flag for M lady Tara
November: Yet a single bloom
still flaunts herself defiantly.
A splash of red against the gloom
of a depressing dark grey sky.
A scarlet rose last of its kind
Contemptuous of the morning frost
as if on purpose to remind
us that the battle is not lost.
Until the last survivor dies
then winter can claim victory
Though we need not believe its lies
defeat is only temporary
Next year the rose will bloom again.
A promise which can’t be broken.

Know who you are?
Do you know who you are? Do you?
perhaps you only think you do.
Can you accept that just maybe
you could have faults you cannot see.
Are you afraid that you might be
far different from the way you see
yourself? The darker parts of you.
you do not put on public view.
We all have something which we hide.
Some deep dark secret locked inside.
We all have traits we would disown.
If it were possible to do.
You must accept they’re parts of you.

Long Overdue
The time has come to reinstate.
The Goddess to her rightful place
As ruler of the human race.
This is no time to hesitate.
The human race has gone astray.
The world is ruled by greed today.
It is quite obvious we need
A guide who can show us the way.
Selinas waiting patiently.
She knows the time will come again
When she is worshipped by all men
As long ago she used to be.
The faithful few will continue
To hope and pray their dreams come true.

Content for MY Lady Irene
My lady’s sleeping peacefully
I slip beside her into bed.
She turns to me instinctively
without a word though much is said.
She does not wake although she stirs
settles herself more comfortably.
I hold her close as she prefers.
A feeling of security.
She slips into a deeper sleep
content because I’m by her side.
I see no need for counting sheep
as slowly into sleep I slide.
Togetherness is all we need
mutual love our only creed

Revelation
When the harvest moon is full
And makes the night as bright as day.
I see the world as beautiful
Although in a different way.
To how it looks by bright sunlight.
I watch the subtle interplay
Between the shadows of the night
In their attempts to hide away.
From the effulgence of the moon.
They cannot hide although they try.
To me the brightness is a boon
Revealing beauties to my eye.
Which otherwise I would not see
Wrapped in the shadows mystery.

Simple Pleasures
The morning sky gun metal gray
No sign of brightness in the sky.
It seem the rain is here to stay
I pray that it will go away.
Then suddenly to my surprise
The sun breaks through. I realise.
I have been worried needlessly
and today is going to be
Perfect for visiting the Zoo
To see the latest baby bears
That’s what my children want to do.
The sun has banished all my cares.
We climb aboard the camper van
Today I am a happy man.

Involuntary Reaction
Twilight ere the moon has risen.
The magic hour twixt night and day.
Frees night creatures from their prison.
Releases them to play or prey.
Sometimes the shadows coalesce
and assume solidity.
Which may frighten or impress.
They come and go mysteriously.
We can’t be sure that what we see
are harmless shadows out to play.
They could be conceivably.
Night predators hunting for prey.
Though we may pretend otherwise
We pray for Mother Moon to rise.
