Thanks for the memories

nature's medicine
clears the clutter
penetrating silence
injected into my veins
waiting...
waiting...
peace engulfs
memories stuffed into a box
stored
safely
a smile
of calm
and thanks for the memories

Focus

People often remark at how I can take photo's of absolutely nothing. I thought I would share my photo's to show them what they are missing out on. Here's my view of Xmas this year. Hope you all had a beautiful one too!

A precious friend

A am blessed to have this beautiful friend in my life
She is filled with love, hope & wisdom
A rare gem..
You'll see by the photo's...she has rare talents too

Graceful Claire

Claire drops from the sky...again


I mount a Seahorse...very gracefully


We make a new friend...he promised not to bite if we didn't

Thank you Claire for helping me unravel my inner child
It's the best Christmas present I could ask for.

Room for two

Mr Woodman was once in love with the scent of vine ripened tomato's...it drove him wild

he made sure they were always close at hand
their perfect, juicy, round succulent spheres were all he had
his image of them would never falter

the tomato's swelled plumply, straining
for the touch of Mr Woodman
they craved his warmth and passion

Mr Woodman would spend hours with his tomato's
fondling them, playing with them,
his passion for them unwavering

amazed by their beauty
their sheer perfection
he was happy, content and satisfied

the vine-ripened tomato's would spend hours
preparing themselves for the ultimate sensation,
they knew this was their destiny

One day whilst Mr Woodman was worshipping his vine-ripened tomato's,
in the distance a ginger cat was watching with curious amusement
Mr Woodman was surprised at this sudden attention


Mr Woodman wondered how long this ginger cat had been there,
watching him, laughing at him, admiring him
what was she thinking?


Mr Woodman suddenly forgot about his precious vine-ripened tomato's
and started to wonder more about this soft, cottonwool creation
sitting their gracefully, casually dreaming of rich creamy milk dripping down her chin


his obsession grew to enormous propositions
he needed to get closer to this heaven sent goddess
he wanted to drown in her touch, her smell, her essence


she was wild and exciting
he felt her heat, her heart beat
and knew that she would singe him or maybe even bite off his hand


he offered himself to her,
she was shy and innocent
his passion was intoxicating

he knew he had to have her
his patience paid off
their love and desire was all encompassing

the only question now was
would there be room for his vine-ripened tomato's?

forgiveness is the greatest gift,
forgive me...
love made me do it

If only I could jump in, feet first

Me: But my shoes will get wet
You: Take them off
Me: But this is how I am now
You: Then what will it take?
Me: I'll need to undo the laces
You: Then come undone, what you waiting for?
Me: I'll start but I'll need some time
You: I'll wait for you, we'll both be ready then

I once floated

sea water seeps through
my knotted aged veins
drenching my world
its salty, tormenting tongue
lapping gently on quiet summer days
rough and passionate on stormy nights

One of the most romantic sights in the world

sunkissed memories

your warmth
pentrates my bare skin
touched and cherished
submerged
in your rays of light
i crave more

even cowgirls get the blues

my cowboy hat
engulfed in blue
goes everywhere with me
the exposed frayed threads
in secret places
the lopsided manner in which it stands proudly,
jealously protecting a wild mass of golden curls
sheilding the unruly dangerous contents
from the outside world
i know this cowboy hat
it is mine
it protects me
it shields me
I keep it close to me
today it is wearing the blue sky above
