prickly summer heat

bodies locked in warm embrace

I’m a man on fire

 

dog day afternoon

deserted barren landscape

hopeless romantic

 

big thunder mountains

hormones raging , burning souls

the fire in winter

 

I got my mantra

from the wells of wonderland

love’s potion number 5

 

fierce snowstorms

howling winds, raging emotions

man/nature’s folly

 

walking on thin ice

with your beauty on my mind

danger lurks within

 

feelings flowed freely

you touched my heart and being

the ice is melting

 

snowman and mermaid

winter in Copenhagen

homesick and lonely

 

silky waterfall

like cotton soft as snow

easing my sorrows

 

the snow-capped mountains

chilled my heart’s sorrows away

calming my being

 

calm before a storm

dark clouds in the horizon

life is so fragile

 

blue sky, white clouds

painting rainbows in my heart

soothing my tired soul.

 

Drifters in the night

Flowers under the moonshine

Longing for the Sun

a misty Sunday

morning dews on green grasses

autumn’s harkening

 

a serenity

in green, yellow, red leaves

autumn memories


toothless grin, dry skin

old and grey, silver linings

wisdom comes with age

 

I came to see you

in the autumn of my life

you are still my home.

 

the southeastern winds

the golden leaves of autumn

the years I have lived
