  • Solstice charm

    An appropriate poem for the day that’s in it…. this is also in my collection, Exposure, which was published by Ginninderra Press in 2003. Enjoy.

    Solstice charm

    On a June evening
    the day almost ended
    magic descended.
    In an Adelaide hotel
    a mysterious spell
    weaved its way
    between two struggling souls.
    Angels
    in mortals’ guise
    rendered surprise
    assistance.
    A sensual kiss
    mystical recognition
    of what was past
    and what might be.
    Warmth,
    fire,
    desire
    and strange symbols
    stir up
    a witches’ brew
    of possibilities.
    Between enchanted smiles
    and sighs
    they tentatively step
    on the path to repair.
    Bewitched lips
    and eyes
    beg for guidance
    and healing.
    Irrepressible grins
    belie the sins
    beneath.
    Both charmed,
    both disarmed
    by the gentle fragility
    and perfect clarity
    of those tender moments
    one June evening.

  • Sample (short ad) of my poetry

    I wrote this quite some time ago.

    It was included in my first poetry collection, Exposure, which was published by Ginninderra Press in 2003.

    Short ad

    Welcome to the theatre of my soul
    strictly limited viewing.
    Watch the dreams unfold
    no two the same,
    but some recurrent themes.
