"The line that describes the beautiful is elliptical. It has simplicity and constant change. It cannot be described by a compass, and it changes direction at every one of its points."

image and text amended from the book 'Strange Lands' available now from ~
Weaves across the skies.
A sinuous swaithe of calm-brooding cloud
Reflecting in the pools of water
Reflecting in my eyes.
Occasionally a ray breaks free
And touches rugged ground
A distant hum of machinery
And call of wild bird
Pierces cocoon of muffled sound
With the sweetest song I've heard.
Wandering the paths of mind,
Rail-tracks of soul and heart.
The passing train of thought
Of love and life,
Of word and art
And all the things I sought.
So captured now by camera lens,
Reflections of these dark~light skies
Will be captured more in every sense
When I look into your eyes.
For with the dusk that follows day
Within every line of poetry
The train is travelling on its way
To the station of reality.

Canvas of radiant sapphire.
Dark heavy clouds
Rise suddenly and reach
As if to touch
The face of wintertide sun.
Glittering rays
Cut through the atmosphere
Like pale-gold talons
Tearing through the cloth
Of winter's gown.
The orb of moon waits ready
To take the mantle of the sky.
Snow falls
Blanketing the body
Of moist black earth
With sparkling flakes
Of pure white.
Nourishing the seeds below
Whilst starving the world above.
Amidst thick gnarled roots
Beneath twisted spiralling bough
And majestic
Owl-blasted crown
Of ancient Woodland.
Outside the castle walls
A feral spirit roaming
Ravenous and wild.
Senses sharpened to razor edge.
Eyes glistening
Belly hollow.
With tooth of sun
And claw of moon.
Hungry
So hungry
To devour
And caress
Scent of blood.
Taste of flesh.

Frost Flowers
In depth of winter,
Warmth of heart.
In camera lens,
And word and art.
In the mind's
Most secret room,
There you will find,
Frost flowers bloom.
