Arbre

I wish I was
A large stretching oak tree -
- Long tuff arms
Naturally engineered
For throwing acorns
At people.



Marilyn

I followed
Chanel No. 5
Into the night;
She walked her
Hips into her dress -
- And intoxicated
I drifted amongst
The thought
Of roses on her lips.

Escape

I wish I could find
Peace from
This world of
Pretentious babbling.
I think
I will run away
And
Live out my days
In the familiar
Solitude of
My mind.



Trees of green

Look at those trees
Amongst the winter sun;
Watch how they dance
And laugh
When the northerly
Wind blows,

And see how
They smile
At the thought of
Spring
That will arrive
In a dream of greens.


Watching

I watched for you
At the long window that
Faced south;

Beyond the glass
And it’s captured lights
The winter night
Glared balefully back,

Later I would
Notice that
The trees
Were hanging
About like prowlers,
And,
Ever fearless,
I charged into the night
Waiting for you by a sycamore,
Both of us longing
For the lushness of spring.
