Klimt Moment


We’ll sit where we sat before, above the stream,
watching the golden eels of sunlight dart and shimmy
above bronze coloured stones to the sound of water searching
out all the possible solutions to the conundrum of strewn rocks
while somewhere beneath us a hollow-sounding tock tock
drums our time away.

Let us weave time and stream into a cloak, a Klimt creation:
magnificent flowing, yet enveloping us in a precise moment
of pleasure. Let us hold it in our eyes so we may see it, wear it
when times are harder, these moments scarcer and the glint
of gold more precious.

Blue Sky




where we empty the clocks,
drain time
and fly,
wheel happiness, glide happiness,
spool the sun,
skim fingertips
along the ocean’s rim,
gather ice sopranos
from the stratosphere’s crystal beds,
dissolve into pure air,
harvest the ecstasy seeds that dream there,
soar in the winds’ songs,
surf sunlight’s beams,
learn the treasure of empty pockets.

Memories



No matter how far, memories are crystal glasses.
Don’t you remember that clink of joy?  Us together.
Didn’t  we have celebration emblazoned on our faces?
Our faces filled with joy: champagne faces. Champagne!
Isn’t that life, a time of champagne, and times not?
