There is nothing worse than waiting for some undefined time to pass
Waiting for the appointed tuning of
The car
~~
Summer holidays
And for some strange reason
Mornington was singing

Once
The laundromat or
Laundrette
Was little more than
The humble hiatus
Between more magnetic merchants
Like
Latest fashions from overseas
Hardware for the best dressed home

Earner learners
Are the new
Warp
Crossing the weft of
Wisdom
~
Is it better to sail
On money ships -
Exotic liners
In the ocean of
Living -
Or by defecting
(Maybe
Deflecting)

A zookeeper feeds many animals
~

The turnstile is hungry at holiday time
Almost as hungry as the zookeeper
Anxious to perform tricks
For the zoo director
~

Chinta the shaggy binny

Africa can be a jungle

Of dominoes
Numbered with wars
And shifting sands

~~

Such dominoes
In the hands of a child
Can only be
Dynamite

But a child
One who God hears
An Ishmael

New Year is a time to
Invent a new soul

January 2008 -
Zimbabwean Gallery's
Half century -
Time to pull out of
The storms
And seek
African colours
Even
Half a rainbow
Will do

Do you want your circle
Ready-made -

A pastry base
Thinly filmed with sauce -

At least you can choose your toppings -
Mexican
Hawaiian tango -

Be daring and choose
The ready-made

There is nothing worse than waiting for some undefined time to pass
Waiting for the appointed tuning of
The car

Summer holidays
And for some strange reason
Mornington was singing

It feels as if the Gem is moving
Her free will journey
Inhaling Time

While we coccoon
Waiting
Wingless
Inside
~
Suds from lots of bubble pipes
Rain generously
On her screens

Bare feet
Rest
Limply
In the
Hollows
Of your shoes

Beyond the docks of keyboards
Beyond the cobweb screens
Beyond the aether wires
Beyond the sage-like clouds

Where the trees flow
And the earth grows
And the colours know

Walking close...
Pacing a music all our own...

I can only imagine...

Hands gently brushing...
Willing magic to be sown...

Our stargate of longing...

A little earth
A little seed
A little water
A little sunlight

A little day
A little night

A little you
A little me

A little smile
A little love
A little tear
A little soul

The echoes of Yesterday
Create the Destiny of Tomorrow…

Remember the Mystery of Love…

You are a Child of the Morning Star…
And Love is the Phoenix of the Soul…

One Winter Dream

Versacci black T-shirt…
Glittering nugget
Drooping on a Gucci gold neck chain…
Plastic passes to the Grand Prix…
One for each day…

I really don’t wish to go
He moaned
But I must
