Doggone

Running, jumping, skipping, panting,
twisting, turning, children chanting
through the woods, into the waters
with family, friends and neighbors daughters
Chasing felines, fetching sticks
Soaking sunlight, catching ticks
Watching, guarding, nothing fearing
Always loving, selective hearing
Barking once, twice for strangers
Louder yet for approaching dangers
Nuzzling, licking, pawing, bragging
can’t stand still, thick tail wagging
Companion, buddy to the end
Thank You Lady, truest friend!

Missing

Missing, longing, waiting, yearning
Waves of passion gushing, churning
Minutes, hours, daylight burning
Unforeseen emotions stirring

Moments fleeting, memories flashing
pain increasing, never ceasing
Skin a'tingling, fear of failing
Heart with anguish now is ailing

Hungering, thirsting of your touching
Lacking closeness, pillow cluthing
Soul on fire, dawn approaching
Tomorrow's coming, relief encroaching!

Reign beau

Reign beau

This picture was shot in northern Sweden sept. 2011. During this hike I also wrote the poem "Walk on" while struggling in a relationship. Experiencing this moment with the rainbow however, made it all worth the struggle! Peace
Note: this picture is not photoshopped or altered in any way. This is how I shot it with my digital Nikon camera.

Walk on

Together we’ve walked a long trail You and I
at times in some rugged terrain
The baggage’s been heavy,
the streams sometimes fierce
But with You by my side it’s been bearable pain

The last trail we hiked, in mountains so wild
I struggled more than You could see
A hurricane storm was trying to tear
The bond tied between You and me

In spite of the struggle and pain I now feel
And wonder if You also do
From this valley of gloom,
with all of my zeal
I do want to walk on together with You

Whether winter is coming with cold winds and snow
I still pray that the weather gets drier
But if you must walk on
I just want you to know
I’ll always wait here for You by the fire

Morning lust

When morning lust in me arise
and heart goes bump-a-thump
My thoughts go south and I fantasize
About your firm and lovely rump
 
The night was long and sleep was good
We spooned so tight, all night through
So, again I wake with morning wood
From dreams of making love to you
 
I long for your strawberries, hard but sweet
delicious, wet and juicy lips
and that which makes it all complete;
your shaking knees and thrusting hips

Morning rays

I placed some kisses on your neck this morning,
and a few to smooth your wrinkled face
How I wish I'ld stayed a little longer
to once again enjoy your morning rays

Tho' leaving you will allways test my patience
I trust I'll be there soon again some day
to savour and enjoy your morning fragrance
Now, there's another cause to wipe the tears away.

Flames of Desire

Thought I'd have a quiet evening
I was relaxed, at ease within
Hope of Love was a distant feeling,
'cause, I've learned to keep it in.

But the taste of some Chardonnay,
with a few stogies in between
For sure would help to ease the pain,
would keep the dreary blues away.

The band got started on a love song
but I didn't care for it at all.
True love forever lasts, they sang.
Maybe it does, but I don't recall.

It's burned my soul down into ashes,
the heart is cold and desolate.
What's left behind is constant yearning
But there's no fuel left for burning.

When unexpectedly deep within me,
no roaring fire, no blinding flash.
But like a hand clad in velvet

Walls of Stone

As a king in a castle dwelling
Who's got hardly any fear at all
From all enemies protected
Completely safe, I lived secure

Walls of stone my heart surrounded
A deep, wide moat uncrossable
Out of fear I hid my spirit
Making sure my grounds I held

Once I roamed about so freely
Fearing nothing, trusting all
Mingling openly, unsuspecting
Heart as soft as a cotton ball

Found a soul to trust completely
and was trusted in return
Nothing hiding, all confiding
My mind was void of all concern

Came the day of discontentment
It did not stand the test of time
Deprived of trust, echoed the sentence
