Poet/musician/Scotland. Been off the grid for a while, mojo vanished, if you find it let me know. Scotland.
The days were stoked in cherry haze
the skys of amber still ablaze
below the tors the rowan trees whispered
a name that only i know
within a kiss
she was a windfall in my forlon refraction
an indiom of touch and gentle action

1st morning in Kefalos (Greece) gotta feeling its gonna be a good day

In the cavern of my thought
the rains poured into pools
they were subliminal until i came to myself
but the floor felt damp
#perhaps they were tears
that followed me through the years
so many loves come and gone
there are no regrets
and nothing to forget

I was the cabin in the woods
she was the forest
a #synthesis of two for the one
those lunar lit nights
where we purged the blight

an indulgence in temperate love
this fusion at times made no sense
but then again
it did

The rules o' thumb become undone
#arbitrary creeping autumn sky
for weeping eye
o'er the sulking face o' rockies chase
comes clouds in haste
wallowing in the winds o' the devils sails
the days draw short like the straws drawn from hand
the prize a biting cold for land

Drowning in my visions
i remember the #crimson butterfly
that brought me love
in empty places
i walked the miles where nobody stretched limbs
never to forget a sea that brought me home
i built a home out of storms that ravaged this poetic heart
but it matters no more in a world lost

I watched her among the morning dew drops
turning the soil on hands and knees
the bustling air whispering through the trees
your pretty dress of twinkle star chiffon catches the eye of the sky
those champagne moment roses and #violets swaying in the magic of your eyes

The open window brings the summer scent of sweet cicely
aniseed and warm zephyrs pinch the midnight tones of love
though i know this heart if failing
i am inhaling the #promise of your
life entwined in mine
its benevolence can never be defined
i am grateful you are here

Impoverished #moment
the barnacles of despair stripped away by an affluent heart
no longer lost at sea
warm morning sunbeams and darjeeling tea
a cafe by the Tyrrhenian

Wounded by the richness of your smile
there is no other way to say
i am happy with these scars you have embedded upon me

I stumbled and watched the loose rocks roll down the mountainside
breathless i clawed my way out from the long grass
if i died here no one would know
perhaps this would be the best way to go
i always hear the song of a following chaffinch
as if it were love in the sweetest clinch

From the old briny comes the scent of a lapping liberation
wet toes feel the cold
but feel the warmth of a profound inner fold
i find myself in the equation of choices
a thought that has led me away from #susurrus of human voices

Sunday morning sun hats
walking past the spitting cats
pockets full of vitriol
a bible and a hip flask
they've just one more task
take down the freethinkers

Received this gift from my son yesterday (don't think for any particular reason) but it's brilliant it's embossed onto sheet metal ❤️

Lost my Chico today 😢 his health finally gave up on him, gawd I'll miss him ❤️

#Sunbeams resile the waving firs
only peaking where the capercaillies stir
a pool of light strikes the midday yearn
where leery grasshoppers hide in crisp scorched ferns

In pastels the picture
hangs crooked
the moon clock drips tears
a #glitch paints a new life line upon my palm as i saunter down the wynd
orchards for the hungry
spill on the cobbles
never was the everlasting
just as kisses graze barren lips
never to eclipse again

I heard a #whimper through the silence of the gorse
i wandered down through the
always
they were blackbirds singing kisses across the applaud of a new day
if i ever felt empty it was never today
never estranged in the frames of raspberry coloured flowers

Here it comes
guns and choking lungs
is it ok to live?
holocausts come with a cost
let the demise begin, women and children for charity's sake
die with no mistake
let the world forget #clarity
the learned never learning
their god shut the back door for retribution
monsters bite hard

We met like an #eclipse
parted like comets wandering the emptiness of the abyss
though the time was short
it was an explosion of passion
as life trundles on through the vastness
we reflect on the beauty ne're
the solidity of desolation

Your kiss
so like the #segmentation
of an after world
separated from coal dust and
and thrusting toxins of ruination
to topple upon your lips
is a sugar cane field where only the emerald swallowtails fly
there are no goodbyes in those instances only a beginning that knows no epilogue

My dog Chico the cheeky chihuahua is such a strange creature, at times he thinks he's another animal, yesterday he stored food in his cheeks and pretended to be a hamster, today he's a bird eating the bread I've thrown on the lawn, I'm sure i heard him whistling.

There's no #noise from the beat of your heart
it's a thumping like rabbits in a burrow
i laughed a little when she said it was love thangs
now i just had to grow some fangs
go figure

There's always a wee moonbeam reflecting on my glass
it's a midnight firewater tipple
a glass with class
distilled in heart and soul
from home to the shore o' Lochranza
we say not the word but be known it ends in KY
ne're EY as in canny Irish
smiley eyes
