Inspired by two flickering candles I saw, whilst relaxing in the bath after I heard of the death of a client from cancer.

Keeper of the Flame
Keeper of the Flame
Shine brightly on me,
Light up the Way.
Keeper of the Flame,
Glow strongly in me,
Warming my days.
Keeper of the Flame,
Blaze, purify me,
Break through the haze.
Keeper of the Flame,
Eternal Firestarter,
Illuminate my destiny,
And may the Fire in my soul
Reflect Your brilliance,
Shining for evermore. |

This is another poem that I wrote, after the death of that client.
|

Farewell Dear Friend - To the "Crystal Peacock"
Farewell, dear friend,
Into death's light,
You taught me much,
And held me tight.
I'm glad we met,
To share, and hug,
A blessing true,
Was your kind love.
The last goodbye I waved
To you,
I knew was final,
Tears anew. |

This poem is about me telling myself to stop doubting the existence of God and to look at the amount of things in nature that have a sense of order about them.

The Rooms In Your House
Creator-Genius,
You're amazing!
The little I know of You...
Krebb's Cycle wonderment,
An orderly mind.
Master of art and engineering,
You showed me the
Spider's web,
And fractals in snowflakes.
How can I still my doubts
Of Your existence.
Surely it's harder now not to believe
Than to believe.
Be still my doubts,
Be still and explore
More rooms in Spirit's house.

I wrote this poem on the way back from Cypress. I could see the checkered fields from above and they reminded me of some primitive tribal painting, like the ones in caves of men with spears, only this spear was a different shape...

View From The Plane
Looking through the window of the plane
I saw fields chequered with lights.
Like some dot-to-dot patterns of primitive tribal paintings.
In my mind's eye, connecting the dots I make out
A man, and a square "box",
Computer-like.
New man and "spear",
A computer the more deadly -
Power to phish in the bank
Accounts of millions
And spear a rich catch.

I wrote this after going shopping.

Mobius Strips
Shopping can be enormous fun,
And sometimes a real pain in the bum.
"They're over there", the assistant says,
As she fiddles with her tresses.
"I'm sorry but we've no petites,
It's only 'standard' dresses."
I hate those tiny changing rooms,
Where ladies huddle in,
And pulling in their tummies tight,
Scan for approving grins.
Sometimes I mirror-gaze if
I think I've got a zit,
Only to see my bra strap,
Has coiled like a mobius strip.
But the real joys come at the check-out
When I reach in my basket to find,
In the wait, my "mega-fix-all" cream,
Has spilt on the lady behind.
It didn't do much for her wrinkles,
But I'm pleased and happy to say,
That she came with a crease in
Her jeans,
And now she no longer looks gay!
|

(gay here should be taken to mean "uncool" and is not intended to be offensive to gays... oh and while I'm doing the whole p.c. thing. I feel compelled to say that this product may also contain traces of nuts! - but not that sort... naughty!! lol)

Behind Your Eyes - A love poem
Behind your eyes I see
The warmth of the sun
On a field of gold,
And fertile soil.
Behind your eyes I see
The light of the moon
In a wood at night
Breaking through shadows.
Behind you eyes I see
An ocean of love
Behind a broken dam
Flooding me with the power of your being.

Ablaze - A love poem
Into my heart you entered,
A tiny spark to start...
But now the flames
Alight more brightly -
Engulfing my body
With such desire for you,
My very soul is
Ablaze with love
And my heart re-ignites
Its wishes -
To be with you for evermore
Consumed by passion in
The circle of your arms.

This was written after I released a butterfly trapped in a room and watched it fly to freedom.
|
| |
Butterfly Free
Butterfly, butterfly
Symbol of transformation
I set you free -
Opened the window and liberated you.
Your bright orange wings
Caught my attention -
Taught me to consider the stages of life:
Egg, larva, cocoon, and fullness of bloom.
New plans are soon to fly.
Butterfly, Butterfly,
My wings are forming.
