DONE TOO MUCH..

In the days leading up to the present,
I feel sure I exceeded a limit of normality.
But of course I know, nothing is ever, just normal,
It is an amount of all, that is greater or lesser.


Having persisted ´til now, means I failed to quit,
When a wiser man, surely, would have rest before now.
Desire overcomes the sense, and the will has a laugh,
When the body says "no!" and the mind pushes on.


Why do I continue, when I really should stop ?
Before the pain rises, and I cry from the blisters.
Because I dare say, I am filled with a hope,
That before the last mile, I will realise my dream.


Come home to the faith,
My sacrifices are valid,
In giving me release,
From the sins I commit...




The road to Santiago.

SILENCE DECIEVES

Once or twice, I felt a real strong hope,
Now the silence prevails, I am no longer sure.
I know it is open, to my own interpretation,
But I felt sure, that your eyes had noticed.


I have asked again, the Universe can see,
Just what chances become, for my desires reward.
Hope is my hangman, in silence I wait,
A sign of your awareness, that I love you now.


Cruelty, my heart falters, for news to restore,
The beating it held, once it knew of you.
And your silence hurts, even if it is just,
My need of your love, feels like one that is lost...

Waiting for my friend.

I know that you are, coming very soon indeed,
Your arrival though felt, has been told unto me.
Friends and acquaintances, have heralded your coming,
And now I wait patiently, for the hour.


I wonder, did I choose well, the place to encounter ?
As I sit by the bridge, over which I expect you.
And will you recognise the friendship we share ?
Feel the peace becoming, from the brotherhood united.


Many miles we toiled, to arrive in this place,
A welcome we favour, so that's why I`ve come.
To greet you with a smile, to lighten your burden,
And remind you I care, for you are my friend.

LOSING MY RELIGION

I remember well the days in darkness,
Before I knew light through the opening door.
A life of servitude, to unseen tithes and laws,
Left me closed to life, before I found you.


It never entered, my consciousness that I,
Would one day realise, the weight of pressure,
That the old ways had laden me down,
No rescue from burden, the weight of the world.


But here you loved, and cared that I see,
A new future of love, without fear from all.
Deep within your heart, you knew me so well,
And let me become, a light of the world.

SOMETHING MORE TO SAY !

There are three little words that can say,
So much of ones care, the feelings that live.
Yet somehow they always leave, something more to say.


I Love You, though sincere, to me still fails,
To express the depth of my connection to you.
And, as such, leaves always, something more to say.


Being able to recognise that my feelings are true,
Is wonderful and a blessing, I feel grace come to life.
So why, when I`m with you, I`m lost for what to say ?


Its not that I fear, why love has found me,
I have lived for this day to come along.
And spent my days dreaming, just what I`d say.


But something rather special, as you have become to me,
Needs to be taken care of, in a very unique way.
And my actions require care, choosing carefully what I`d say.


So forgive me Darling, if I don`t say enough,
The three little words, everyone craves to hear.
It`s because I love you more, there`s always more to say.

WIND IN MY HAIR.

Crossing the desert, nothing is moving, no life,
The reality is different, the closer we look.
I spy a few whorls, of sand that have stirred,
As I feel new pressure and the wind in my hair.


No mystery left untold, when stirrings for you,
Can lift me so high, e'en above all the clouds.
I am from the light as you leave the dark,
Together we make heaven, what a wondrous sight.


Today I have come, to lift you forever,
Into my paradise garden, where we`ll yet share,
The pleasures and fruits, of a couple in love,
Then you`ll have become, the wind in my hair....

How Time Is Flying !!!

But a few hours, have passed since we met,
And here I am missing already the surge you gave.
Fire tore through me, setting me truly ablaze,
Can you also rescue the man now alive ?
Not that I blame you, your innocence is clear,
So how do I forget, when my passion is roused ?


Only fleeting moments now, as I recall your light,
Give me peace and solace, that you will return.
For in your secret smile, was hidden the love key,
Unlocking my desires fresh, to know you to the full.
Oh woman so precious, of such riches untold,
Can you stop time again, fly with me to heaven ?

IF I LOVED YOU FOREVER

One day, by surprise, I was caught by you.
In my minds eye, I could feel new passion,
Being conveyed by a look, nothing more than that.


What did that say, the curiosity you showed ?
Have you loved and lost, and as I kept searching,
That one day, love would find you once more ?


An incredible energy, was passed on to me then,
To continue to hope, that your eyes, they told,
A heart beating for me, to share a great love.


So what will it take, to know how you feel ?
That with me and you giving, all of our love,
We`d take on the fight, to live in this light.


I can say now, my truth, is to win you over,
That we be together, sharing always our lives,
Without fear of losing, another day still searching.


For in sincerity of action, I find myself craving,
A touch of your hand, a breath of your hair,
A taste of your lips, a smile of your agreement.


And here I lay bare, my heart and my soul,
That nothing be hidden, from your knowing heart.
If I love you forever, `twill be a day too short...

MASTERS AND SERVANTS

Our pathway to life, is often a confusion,
As we deal with becoming open to feel,
Just which is our way and what is true.


We may discover love is the purest form,
Of sharing with others or we may forget,
As we struggle to carry, the burdens we hold.


So which are we, the teacher of love,
Or the servant of the fear we still carry ?
Be not afraid to ask of the Universal bank.


As we teach one another we also learn hope,
That escape from fear is our way ahead,
We become Masters of love, and Servants of everyone...

LIPS ´N` HIPS

I cannot recall a time, when I felt so keen,
To show my affection, to one so soft and fair.
But as the sun, grows hotter ´til noon,
My passion to kiss you, grows also bolder.


My lips, touching yours, begins the sweet dream,
Furtive connections build, and we embrace roughly.
How it grows so fast, I wait to see,
Yet I feel so sure, you want me too.


Energy of love, rising, keeping us so young,
Feeling the attraction taking hold of our will.
Your hands they guard my powerful arms,
Which hold you now, as we fall in love.


Then full of hope, we give the sign,
A life to share, as this one moment.
Caressed as an angel, who lost her way,
My reasons to behold, become manifest again.


Darling ! Wait for me, that I can show,
You know my eyes are craving for you.
I must have you, as sure as food,
We eat the fruits, of pleasures untold.


And by the hips, we court our desire,
Fill one another up, a consuming fire.
For this is what we come to know,
Our passion shared, is for love to grow.

Five star Albergue.

Coming here, with tired, weary, aching feet,
is a reunion of spirit, when I see such comfort.
How can I possibly pay for suffering today,
In these lush green and quiet gardens ?
For sure, the many who travelled thus far,
Will be at peace, now we have come.
Their efforts remembered in cloisters of silence.
To be part of this family, in who`s care,
We become as one, I pray with thanks.
Charity is forever shared when we receive love.
The provisions laid down for others to follow,
Such kindly brethren, of ´Santiagos way`.
Zafra has given much, to which we behold.
May their thoughtfulness, be our reminder now,
As we return honour, as a grateful pilgrim...

TIME FOR CHANGE

The way has taught just how we be,
A future for kindness for all to see.
Pilgrim brothers, sisters too are fighting so hard,
To make this true, our faith is our sword.


To open up the apathy, will be a loveless task,
But no more than, I`d give, I`d ask.
Determined is our way, to walk a brighter hope,
Share with our neighbours, the love that we are.


Come one and all, lets walk the truth,
And follow our hearts, to where we shine.
Upon the path of pilgrims bringing change,
Where lovelessness and selfishness,
Are sent where they belong.

WIERD SCIENCE

Many are the lives that I have been alone,
And now I hope that, you will be the sunshine,
That fills my days with a glorious light,
Because in my heart, you have taken over.


I never knew you, yet felt that I did,
The way that you looked at me that first day,
Seemed full of mystery, and still I believe,
That like me, you recognised our pure connection.


Right in front of my eyes, you exploded in ways,
Even I cannot yet know, just how lucky I am.
Though my heart leapt with a strange memory,
Of time we had spent in each others arms.


Everyone must recognise their one true soul mate,
I guess that we are also aware of that fact.
So is that why you smiled so sweetly,
Because as I did, you remembered me too ?


I can hardly dare to leave you again,
Feeling as I do, so very relaxed and calm.
In paradise, I entered to your loving arms,
And now I remember the joy that you bring.


Love happens often, in a world like ours,
And yet sadly unaware are the sons of men,
To what this love can do when shared,
But you and I love, we know its real worth.


Letting it flow through, we realise its great power,
We become manifestations, of the peace of its light.
I realise now, its purpose, and with you, I would be,
Throwing love on the wind, to the ends of the Earth.


Earth needs us now, to be warriors to peace,
Calming the hatred and building with love.
So together we offer, a force for the good,
In your eyes dear lover, this message is understood.

Spanish eyes.

There is a rose in the Andalucian wilderness,
She goes by the name Senorita de los Angeles.
Her eyes are ever open, her smile so glorious,
She has put upon me, a spell so sweetly.


That lustrous raven hair, sings to me of loving,
Her lips are so ripe, just like soft fruit.
But most of all, I notice once more,
Just how deeply her eyes, they penetrate my core.


Her way is of gentleness, I imagine her touch,
Caressing each and every part, with a loving attention.
Oh heavens could I, be blessed forever,
To kiss her sultry lips, and live behind her eyes..

APPOLO GIRL

Catch me maiden, for I am falling,
You have yet to notice, but I am smitten.
Awaken in my soul, I feel a hole,
And you can fill me in, with your smile.


An energy surrounds you, as I can sense it,
Would you be mine, If I could ask it ?
A flicker of light has captured your eye,
I see you feel me, our worlds are colliding.


I want to tell you, how dizzy you make me,
And just what desires, have yet to hold you.
Could you allow me, to enter your grace ?
I begin to respond, a smile crosses your face.


Who says that reality, is a formal greeting,
In dimensions of love, our souls are meeting.
So what will matter, to you this evening,
If I am not holding, You and I still believing.


A cast of fate, a twist of luck,
How many days ago, were you dreaming of me.
And yet we came to this remote place,
Where your earthly presence, has lit up my face.


My darling stranger, with golden curly hair,
Could you open to me, that we become a pair.
And prove to all, the joy of love,
That rains upon us, from the heavens above.

Through the looking glass

Across the water beyond the crystal divide,
I see you sweet lady, can it be for me that you hide ?
The sun beating down, reminds me to say,
How hotly I feel now, you become my thought for the day.


A lustre for life, allows me to be,
Craving your close touch, the connection for you and for me.


And all that divides, the water, the glass,
Would not be a barrier, if you would show me my pass.
No-one would argue, your beauty be proof,
You hold yourself so prettily, you are almost aloof.


But I sense that, like me, you crave a true love,
Let me pass, golden maiden, and I`ll prove you that love.

CULDESAC

As you arrive, I see,
Your face drops, unexpectedly.
What did you really,
Hope to find here ?
Why were you so shocked,
To find nowhere to go ?

Before you came, at this time,
Hope of something spectacular,
Was in your minds eye.
And the reality of arriving,
Sold you a sorry blow.
The journey seemed wasted,
Nowhere more to go...

But have you really seen,
What brought you all here ?
And what was along the road,
The journey, was it clear ?
Lost somewhere the reason,
Just why you came this season...

For I have seen today,
My destination has been met.
Yet I will not be sad,
Nor will you hear me fret.

I travelled and saw,
The journey, as the reason.
The culdesac of life,
Did not commit me treason.!!!

SMOOTH WHITE PEBBLE

As I lay here upon life's sandy beach,

I see a pebble, smooth, timelessly, perfectly shaped.

What lines what curves, they tell me passion,

Was divinely manipulated in your loving creation.

As eons rolled on by, grace became formed in you,

From every aspect a clue, that you are not random.

Nor by chance persay, have you come to life,

In such vibrant reality, to lay before me here.

I fancy that soon, you will notice me too,

That my dreams reveal, your most secret facets.

And I can forever continue, to immerse in your glow,

Perfection of earthly form, catching my breath away...

WALKING YOU HOME

Such pride I feel and lifting of spirits,
When I was to be blessed, to be escorting you.
As we would pass along, the crowded square,
Through narrow, romantic lanes, the eyes would follow.


You caught the attention, of more folk than I,
And I was jealous, yet proud to be holding your arm.
Relaxed as always, you are not aware, seemingly at all,
Of the rousing attentions of many, noble and stout.


But I would see it all and wonder, just why I,
Had been so very lucky to be by your side now.
You surely, could have chosen from many, the kings,
But here you walk with me, and I still go on smiling.


Aware that you`d not noticed, just what a sight to be,
You were amongst the lowly and I, unaware your grace.

REPLICA

Here you are, as if new,
Once more I see you smile.
I wonder is it me you see ?
And are you really you ?


Before today, I´d ne`r believe,
I`d see your smiling face.
But as the lord be my witness,
Upon my hopes you`ve graced.


I surely know it is not you,
But one as fair besides.
And yet I longed so favourably,
That really it could be.


I miss you so, I hope you know,
Forever, I will hold this care.
Beyond the stars, the heavens too,
My love still holds for you !!!

TAPAS HEAVEN

As the coolness of evening,
Overtakes the searing day,
I come happily to relax,
In air conditioned BarÇa paradise.


An array of local delights,
Are decorating the bar,
In wonderful colours and palates,
Too much for simple folk.


But here I while away,
In pleasant Spanish atmosphere
The tapas and the alcohol,
Refresh my soul with joy.

POSSEIDON ADVENTURE.

Clear as the water flowing from the mouth,
The statuesque embodiment, speaks volumes to me now.
Demure as her natural beauty, falling upon my eye,
The secrets of my gazing reveal an harmonious beat.


With Neptune guarding, the watery deeps,
His trident held aloft, I spy a siren sweet.
She calls my name upon the summer breeze,
And my heart responds in time with her lure.


Such grace and poise, I see how every movement,
Pleases not only my eyes, but the world we know.
And in this refreshingly cool, aquatic garden place,
I cannot escape unscathed, from wanting you to notice me.

Love Unrequited

Emancipate me from desolation, if that be thy joy,
Pursue me and challenge all of mine own stain.
Carry me away oh angel, mercy me and show,
Just what becomes the blessing of thine heart.


Whence I rest upon hills, of the Carrions feasting,
Torn and bloodied, weeping, hoping upon your rescue.
I became lost in my time, fearing always the worst,
Still, you shine forever, saving my drowned soul.


Cometh my lover, become more than mere mist,
Avail me the courage to know how to live.
Fall in to the springtime, and let our love begin,
Be joyful, be valiant, in my heart reside....

WAY OF THE PEACEFUL WARRIOR

A stranger calls me, and I answer her,
Her voice carries hopes, upon the Sirocco winds.
Secret messages revealed only to me as I roam,
My quarry leaves her scent, I recognise it immediately.


Beautiful as the oasis, rising from the sands,
And as cooling now, the wind upon my face.
My heart beats steadily, perhaps a flutter or two,
In the sunset fading, comes my dusky siren.


Tired and weary, I rest upon soft linnen cushions,
Reclining ´neath starry skies, the battles won for today.
I know that tomorrow will bring fresh challenge,
And I will ready myself, relaxing in her charm.


As the dawn rouses, I stir from my slumber,
Aware that she has gone, my delight not waning.
For I remember clearly her softness, her warmth,
Guarding me protectively, from the night wolves.


With this passionate love, I set out once more,
To conquer the world, to bring about change.
Peacefully to wage war on the darkness of man,
And reinstate the hopes, that our future be bright.


For I am called to be the Peaceful Warrior,
And filling the world with love is my goal.
Don`t fear me brother, sister, for we are one.
Receive with open hearts as I, Her loving peace.



P.W.
