Beneath the sun on the Isle of Wight
I first laid eyes on
the lovely Gill
And on that sweet
summers day
I lost my heart
forever at Robin Hill

BENEATH THE SUN ON THE ISLE OF WIGHT # 2
THE NEWS CAME
The news came,
As bad news does
Out of the blue
At breakneck speed
And hit me like a
train
With deaths hateful
sting
Numbing me to the core
Leaving me speechless
And too arid to cry
Before the pain burst
through
Bringing forth the
bitter tears loves
Despair washed over me
Until I was drowning
in sadness
I sank in its frigid
waters
To the depths of my
soul
So bitter was the news
The loss so acute
I was broken in two
Lying beaten
On the ground
I could feel no worse
I could sink no lower
Then like kicking an
injured dog
Remorse hit me
Like a tidal wave
Knocking me off my
feet
Why didn’t I tell him?
Why didn’t I say?
I love you too
AMBER EYES
She had amber eyes
Which marked her out
Such a rare and
beautiful hue
You might say it made
her special
And special she was
This girl with amber
eyes
But not for the rarity
of the hue
But for an even rarer
quality
This girl with amber
eyes
Was so special because
She was beautiful
inside and out
I WOULD CROSS AN ARID DESERT PLAIN
I would cross an arid desert plain
Sail upon a sea of
hurt and pain
Traverse landscapes
bleak and bare
Climb great mountains
of despair
Navigate thru skies
black with thunder
And lightning bolts to
strike asunder
This and so much more
I will gladly do
Just to spend some
time with you
I STILL CLING TO YOU
I still cling to you
For fear of drowning
In your arms
I feel secure
But it’s an illusion
Its false security
Despite your deceit
And betrayals
I still cling to you
Instead of swimming
free
Not for fear of
drowning
But fear of being
alone
LOVE APPEARED LIKE AN EMERGING FLOWER
Love appeared like an emerging flower
Blooming like a flush
on a maidens cheek
Spreading out like the
wings of a bird
And taking flight upon
romantic winds
Traversing the immense
poetic globe
Reaching every corner
of the world
Before returning to
its love struck source
For there is no
greater extent
To which a love can
aspire
Than all around the
world and back again
