Fireballs on the harbour,
electric, neon light,
laughter floating on a breeze –
seductive voice, a Williamstown night.
Each flame a lifetime’s story;
kaleidoscope of dreams,
lovers and stolen kisses,
beggars, kings and queens.
A yacht sways on the ocean;
freedom opens her eyes,
seconds linger infinitely,
the moment comes alive.
Knowing eyes speak wisdom
and hint at the joy of living
the free life of the daring,
of a need so carefully hidden.

A bit of this and that
The view from my front porch (in Pennsylvania) or back patio (in London) every morning, in tweet-sized bites
too much coffee, too little sleep, a love of words...

Your paintings are as great as your poems. Have you been selling any of them? 🙂

Thank you, Heather. Smoke and mirrors-I just do them with an iPad painting app copying drawings or photos. Takes time but very easy when I zoom in. They are ok at this size but low resolution and wouldn’t blow up very well. Thanks for the nice comments 🙂
