I salute you sir
Millions of pounds raised

Captain Tom Moore: a legend
Happy 100th birthday!
You do it
every night
every splendid
glorious night. . .
You put sounds
into silence,
and make me tremble
with your erotic beauty,
you come out
each time
more dazzling
more amazing,
than should be possible.
You’re there
your haunting shine
piercing my soul
like lightning through my heart,
You see
with your thousands of eyes
white rosebuds
nestled into you
curling themselves tighter
and tighter,
You light up
every shadow of the world
becoming bigger
and brighter.
You lean
lounging above
silently commanding
the universe,
the whole sky
for as far as I can see,
You sparkle
more than a diamond,
iridescently gleaming
a chunk
of clear cut crystal,
You would be
the perfect latter
in a drink
of vodka and ice,
You lustfully leave
your imprint in my mind,
is it any wonder
I bypass day
yearning
for it to be night. . .
For you
yes, you
put the love
into life.
Beyond these walls
there’s a place away from the screams,
in my own world
my land of dreams. . .
Where shouts turn to birdsong
and cries turn to laughs,
where happiness is sunshine
banishing the dark.
Where fights are with pillows
and tears are of joy,
where there is silence
never any noise.
Where anger is unknown
and hate is love,
where lies are clouds
kept high above.
Where peace is mine
mine and yours,
echoing instead of
the banging of doors.
Beyond these walls
there’s a place where things are what they seem,
in my own world
my land of dreams. . .
Your light plays tricks
Shadow of every city
Always radiant.
Bathing in light
limelight green
of beech trees
in spring;
their canopy
a cathedral
as I lie beneath
on a bed of bluebells
their dizzying scent
infiltrating every sense,
purple haze contrasting with the green
that sharp, vivid green
felt even when eyes are closed
this is the colour
of dreams. . .
Jurassic trees
with big beards of lichen
and stubbles of moss,
towering, gargantuan
I am truly lost in awe.
Let us help those
who cannot help themselves
selfless compassion.
An arresting beauty
so sensational was this place
it buzzed, shook with life,
sending chills, shivers
shooting up my spine
into my limbs.
I could feel the viscosity
setting alight something
inside me.
Still now, I cannot fathom
what it is
about this place
that resonates so in my heart.
Descriptions cannot capture it;
cream-capped mountains
cerulean skies bluer
than the surrounding lakes and sea,
forests ethereal and ancient
yet tantalisingly alive
and green
that green. Trees, moss, lichen, ferns
a landscape unspoilt
unshaped
unaltered.
Some might fear the freedom
freeze amidst the isolation
but I rejoiced;
a traveller of liberation.
This place is a friend
I never realised I had
but feel we are now connected
as if we share souls;
my mind maps and
my thoughts inscribe
while my heart guides
the compass inside me,
to the places I have been
and the places I am yet to be.
Ochre sea of sand
Ancient and magnificent
The land of sarha.
The awakening
of my mind; creation
imagination, elation. . .
A streak of sunlight
searing the skyline,
a whip crack of lightning
ripping the night apart,
an insurmountable snowfall
echoing white noise,
a moon, or lack of;
a hole in the night
where he should be,
or the times he is whole
and super, and all I see. . .
bulging “O” of love
bathing in albedo
an albus light.
The awakening
of my heart; fascination,
temptation, sensation. . .
