A love in verse

Thanks for Bringing Me the Spring

Thank you for the daffodils 

Standing in their pewter vase

Pointing to heaven and the stars


Flowers nod on the windowsills

These untroubled by the breeze

Are deskbound and await to please


Your weary Pete, whose waning skills

With words receive a fillip now

I love you gorgeous one – and how!


I watch their opening and the thrills

That yellow magic petals bring – 

Thanks for bringing me the spring

By the Aegean

Three boats ride at anchor in the calm night

Warning lights winking without respite

And the far headlands to left and right...

The Ancient Butterfly

When love and lust are turned to dust 

And time has gone doolally

A butterfly will flutter by...
