Glorious Reef

The glorious reef

Under magical sun leaf

You could call me

The girl in the cellar

Wanting to sing a cappella

Wanting to compose a belter

Dancing to the piano

And that Robin Hood crossbow

Feeling depressed is like

When every drop touches you

An American ‘hard gum’ (Someone strong)

As a teen I was obsessed with appearance

Like I had to go through clearance

Looking good for puppy love

The honest way

Be my friend the honest way

Be my love the honest way

Marshmallow man

I need a slimming plan

Of the night

Stars,streetlights and slappers!

Simple as a first kiss

I whisper I love you

You kiss me I want you

A persistent twinkle

He would need a persistent twinkle

‘American Beauty’ film

What it means to be spiritually awake

Spiritual connection

In search of something

Something to make me feel alive

My true love to arrive

The only thing on this page is a tear stain

Silent words are streaming down my face

Silent words are rolling down my face

When it feels like too much

My future,do I have a future?

Am I not going through enough?

I have demons

Will you be my key man?

‘Rainfalls in every life

But rainbows,bluebirds,spring,

Babies or God lift up our hearts’-U.A.Farthorpe

The loveliness of beans

Heinz beans

Wise,beautiful,brave

His hands were a touch of crystal

Freedom is air on a boat

‘Then you rose into my life

Like a promised sunrise’-Maya Angelou

Star Jasmine

I love a huggin!

‘I may cry and I will die,

But my spirit is the soul of every spring,

Watch for me and you will see

That I’m present in the songs that children sing’-Maya Angelou

Woman work?

‘I’ve got the children to tend

The clothes to mend

The floor to mop

The food to shop

Then the chicken to fry

The baby to dry

I got company to feed

The garden to weed

I’ve got the shirts to press

The tots to dress’-Maya Angelou

Kissy little girl

Beautiful world

‘In the heat of the sun,

The cool of the moon’-Maya Angelou

‘Licorice sky ‘-Maya Angelou

‘I was once a sinner man

Living unsaved and wild

Taking my chances in a dangerous world,

Putting my soul on trial.

Because of your mercy,

Falling down on me like rain,

Because of your mercy,

When I die I’ll live again

Let us humbly say,

Thankyou for this day.

I want to thank you’-Maya Angelou

‘I met a Lady poet

Who took for inspiration

Coloured birds and whispered

Words a lover’s hesitation’-Maya Angelou

‘My life ain’t heaven

But it sure ain’t hell’-Maya Angelou

‘At home the book selves connected heaven and earth’-Lisel Mueller

Sunset

The sun’s sweet red glaze and

The Tasmanian tribe

Summer drinks

Dream work

A secret letter

A faint glow on the water

Quite a emoter

‘Feeling,having,knowing,holding’-Lisel Mueller

Fluttering dress and Umbrella

‘French horn player believes in

Enormous golden snails’-Lisel Mueller

I wish you

A thousand Angel golden hands

The snow

A purple carpet like lavender

‘The wish and the world’-Lisel Mueller

‘A woman who refuses to turn her back on the past

And is changed to salt’-Lisel Mueller

‘With the blue thread of the river

by which we grew up.

The green smear of the woods

We first made love in.

The yellow city we thought was our future’-Lisel Mueller

Fashion thin

Nervous wings

A poems darkness

And the fluid dream

‘I should be dancing with happiness’-Lisel Mueller

‘The answer in the sky or the sand’-Lisel Mueller

A dream of arrival

My true love’s arrival

A waterfall rolling down your satin lips

‘There is something purer about it’-Gwen Harwood
