who ...

who are you

for me you are ...

sunlight and shade

the first song

of nature's awakening

the rush of winter wind

which steals my breath away

white sands, blue seas

dolphins surfing translucent waves

you bring me

the magic of our incredible world

the sound of your voice

familiar poetry

the love in your eyes 

my heart's desire

no beginning, no end

the gods of love

bring priceless offerings

unexpected joys

the unforgettable experience

of loving you

welcome home

my anam cara

in the summer time ...

and i'm watching Wimbledon! I don't watch tennis, well, i never used to but obviously my increasing years have changed me and now I do... sometimes.

summertime in Scotland, long, long days of light, short nights, the darkness hardly arrived before banishment and the return of light. I stress light because summer time in Scotland does not necessarily mean sunshine!

The rain still falls, warmer, gentler and not every single day. the grass fields grow green and tall and tractors work through the long light nights harvesting . The wheat turns gold and massive combine harvesters take in the crop, followed by a posse of sea gulls flown inland for the feast of the killing fields. Those giant blades take their toll on the small creatures who have chosen to make their lives amidst the living growing world of the wheat fields.

a long goodbye

i am in heaven but also in hell

don't know you at all yet i know you so well

we are together and yet i am quite alone

you only wake up to my voice on the phone

you say “oh my love i was thinking of you,

when are you coming are you missing me too”

is it wrong, is it cruel to reach across time

and remind you once more that your heart is mine

is using the magic of “remember when we ...”

a cruel waste of time which is damaging me

questions repeated, no knowledge retained

that magnificent memory now gradually drained

this awful progression eroding your mind

as the weeks pass us by you are harder to find

i know in my heart that i should stay away

but the light of your love so brightens my day

so i guess i'll keep calling till one day you don't know

the voice on the phone and who still loves you so
