Harbour flare

Harbours are places for encounters
We go there often.
We play a game
Of looking at ships gliding
Through foreign scents and mists
and amiable far-aways…

Water is a place for
life and dreams.

A Moonlight with a Lighthouse, Coast of Tuscany.

………………………………………………..

What is the light without a moon

And the moon without the light?

The light is what we crave

But moon is what we see.

Every day, a little dream

Larina's dream

I long for a dream,
within a dream
that clears the sight
of you.

I am asleep and asleep
I feel nothing
But the cradle of your arms
like orange snakes
thrashing fears around…

Black and white tale
Shall that be…

Every night a little dream
in the dead of sleep
in the depth of you…
………………………………..
Words spatter lights
in pools.
Do not squander their yellow glare
To guard you through winter…

Love in line (2)

After Van Gogh

Love is pawning your heart

For the trembling sweetness of a memory.

Love is the unnecessary moment

when you see Together…

………………………………

Love is imagination

Dancing dragons in the sky…

Love falls down in showers

That autumn rains could not blur.

………………………………….

Love is painting sunsets

and dreaming at gleaming dawns.

…………………………………..

Love is Eternal

Unicity for One.
