Snow of White



As I take flight
in late night
to seek my White Knight

a glitter of light
in the darkness of white
a moment before twilight

your lips
blood red
not quite white
the coldness bites

wish as I might
our kiss
lasts forever

like last night.

Snowflakes......



upon my wake
makes me smile
drifting down
if only for awhile
on this town

white like diamonds
tear drops of rain
frozen 
like my heart

makes a snowflake

sparkle
vanishing

on my black dress
like jets in the night.

2nd hand bookstore


In the midst of this holiday season, 
I went to one of my fave used bookstore & found a couple of poetry books!
Considering the Poetry section at most new book stores are pathetic, I was happy
to find these two......Vancouver Poetry & Mondo Barbie.   
I also found a vintage 1950's Polly French, Surprising Stranger 
& Pandora by Ann Rice,
For a bonus.... & maybe a little inspiration to finish my novel,
a book about a writers Retreat in Italy, 
Summer School.  
So whilst everyone has last minute shopping, I will
curl up with a book & be lost for a little while.

Modern Day Witch



casting light upon darkness
like a first romance
mesmerizing
with her eyes
her touch
makes you shiver with cold
vanish says your soul
but your mind is clouded
to let her go
so caught up
in her spell
like sparkling snow.

Tic Toc


A clock
the wind up kind
that woke me
with a shrill of bells
tic toc
since I was 7
gifted to me by my Nanny
that was pure heaven

A clock
that Mother gave away
when I left home to college
a sadness I kept at bay

A clock
that I spot
as I walk
into a vintage boutique
5000 miles away
in Paris
my childhood clock
that has returned
home

with me.

Only at Night


You come to me
only at night
for that time
it feels so real

this glass apartment
high in the sky
with wrap around balcony
we walk hand in hand

your kiss
the summer scent of you
I most miss

as we talk
daylight breaks

your fading
screaming at me
to close my eyes
to wait for darkness
you’ll be back

I awake 
alone 
in the apartment.

The Mask




to disguise the most
looking for you
that makes me fear
you were never real
in my mind
this is past time
I am so close
to finally meeting
my ghost.

A Black Kiss




If we are one
then I am the dark
& you are the light
so blind to
your kisses
in the night
but I see the marks
that make others
hide on sight.

Interconnected




You & I
that’s what is now
but what if

it was supposed to be
me with another
under the sun
and you with her
your life a blur

but
 you stopped it
causing
chaos

all the while
with the smile
of a crocodile

lying in wait
knowing
the fate.

Late to the Ball

Late to the Ball




for the ever so demure
Tess Kincaid
a celebration of her birth


an eerie fog has blanketed
the south coast
causing the delay
of my jet on the runway


my ball gown
of pink & black
is carefully packed
ready to dance

but alas I
arrive so late
just in time
to dance with
the ghost of my date.

Fortnight


A hallway
dark like black

the click
of my heels

echoes
the emptiness

that your back.

Lucid




I woke up to skeletons
roaming around my bed.
That didn’t bother me
until I saw the one
standing still
in my ensuite,
looking back at me through
the mirror…..that is when
I felt fear.

MIA



Lately I have been torn
in a million directions
going no where at all
has left me somewhat scorned
no words to say
no time to play
no photos….no way
hours into days
that I have nothing to say
my thoughts missing
so I cannot feel
what this darkness
has done to me.

Graffiti


It’s all around me
everyday I walk by
your poetic pain
spray painted in vain

or it is art
thought  out

who am I to say
on my way
to my ivory tower

what is on this wall
that comes
from your colourful soul.

Repose



Waking from my dream
desperately seeking
to go back
to find the moments
of pure ecstasy
flying as me
above in the sky
where I’m destined to be
slowly becoming
a vague memory.

End of Summer


I’m one
with the sun
these last
couple of weeks

the last of
stifling heat
I wish would
forever keep

I pack my bag
well aware
when the
cool night air
whispers
summer’s fading
it’s like
 a lost love affair.

Mermaid



Across the sea
beyond the concrete wall
is where I want to be
swimming like a mermaid
I would so have it made
not be real
just for a day.

Boyfriends Bike


Remember me?
we were kids really
your sly smile
with wicked blue eyes
bike riding to my house
excited with your news
of baseball training camp
holding my hand
a brush of a kiss
across my cheek bone
whilst saying goodbye
just a summer apart
you say…..
not knowing
my childhood love
for you
would forever depart.

at dawn



When sleep evades me
a design
for a new dress is made
carefully sewn
ready for
when I leave home.


I start my
little white car
acceleration
always a rush
the sun
I barely feel
as I drift
towards the sea


From a water of blueness
I feel the crystal white sand
the heat of the sun
the powerful waves
crashing down
enticing me
to the dark caves
where I might find
another soul
who calls
this paradise home.

Fast Cars


Somewhere in the States
exists an oasis
of fast automobiles
with shiny wheels
a private invite
if only you knew
deep in the forest
hidden from view.

Butterfly in Black



Flying at night
no one can see
their beauty
but me
flying in threes
how they used to be
now just a painted memory.

Leaving London


Before the rain
the sun drenched this town
not likely this time of year
wandering around in my royal gown
tasting London beer
meeting folks
disguised as blokes
my castle so high
must flee
if only for awhile.

Summer for 2



Hot blazing sun
waking up
to another scorching day
it seems it will never rain
whispers she
revel in the moments
of remoteness
says he.
