More Candy
​
Slow diving
For pearls
See me looking I look away
Long dark hair
Neck like a swan
The shimmering eyes
Lips slightly parted
I run
Ships sunk in the night
A desperate religion
I have to confess
These demons won't rest
Living in slow motion
Above the border
Destitute and repossessed
Wary of the next step
No chance to be blessed
Unless
And I could be wrong
Multitudes might know
That future toss
But until
Standing still becomes
The emblem of my heart
The join where it all starts
And love departs
Candy #1
​
Wounds in your eyes
Appear surreal
Warmer tears shall reveal
Windows open to a view
Don't burn completely
Your face may be unrecognisable
Then the sculptor would despair
Of what would become
Of all those wondrous charms
Where would go their desire
Who would light that fire
If into the pyre you climb
Time after time
Like a volcano
On a beach
By the ocean
Hair cascading down
Confides in your silhouette
The ripeness of dreams
Where venus kisses the moon
An effigy was lit
And screamed out your name
But the sweetness went up in flames
Because I could not hold it
So was the theory
Of my shaking hands
​
Candy #3
​
Like thunder preceding a lightning strike
The discharge of cannons could be heard
Before her mouth found mine
I died from the first shot
Those warm wet lips left no uncertainty
Into my outstretched arms her body fell
Disrobed by my hands and hers
And there in no other land
Could anything touch
But welcome the desiring
Our hearts pounding like waves rushing to the shore
To retreat and return again
Soaked in the giving of our love
And so the night took us
And sent dreams and sleep
To accompany our wonder
As we lay complete
