Facets of Christmas time

​A period of contrasts from sepia through to dazzling gold

A time of poignancy, reflection and joy

A religious celebration transposed into a season of gluttony and greed

A time of gift giving, family celebrations and gatherings

A time of arguements, marriage breakdowns and strife

A time of love, war and hate

Each facet sharpened because of the season

Poverty versus wealth

Loneliness versus family life

Love versus hate

Outlined in sharper contrast in a season of supposed joy

May the immutable values of Christmastime 

Remain through the year

Find the love

​We live to feel and to express

Much more to life than we can guess

Love is life, life is love

We have to search when times are tough

To find  it in it’s purest form

When maybe, despair might be the norm

With love all your senses become one

In darker times, they can prestige the sun

Heartache is part of life, dreams get shattered

Life gets battered

Love is life, life is love

We live to feel and to express 

In love and happiness thats the best

In times of sadness, cling to love

Its different facets can fit like a glove

Find it in the smallest joys

Dance in the rain, ignore the annoys

You only live once, perhaps

We need to do our best avoid the traps

Find the joy, find the love.

Reality replace?

​Sharing time with you

Takes me to another place

Makes me happy

Relaxed and full of grace
If that luxury was denied

Life would go on

I would survive 

Diminished but able to cross the great divide
My mind endows you with virtues 

That I know in reality don’t exist

You are a creature of insubstantiality,more like mist

You remain an enigma
I share your good features, clutching them like straws

I glimpse some of your flaws, they dont affect me, so no pause

Sharing aspects of our lives, gives me pleasure no need to catechise

Takes me to another place, but real life it can’t replace
Sharing time with you

Takes me to another place

Makes me happy

A respite from reality, but can’t replace

Dream asleep, dream awake

​Dream asleep, dream awake

Vision of you hard to shake

The melted state that you can create

Adds a layer to infinity, the great debate

Hormones raised precarious state

Dream asleep, dream awake

We float together, communicate

Light

Daylight floods past the curtain edges
Over the ceiling and lightens the room
Never the harsh clear light of the African sky
No the mellower hazy light of England
Yet as I lay in bed and feel, I soar and fly.

Follow……Lead

​Follow where you lead 

Or tread my own path

Walk beside you

But stop at the gate

Or to you subjugate
Share the path finding 

Draw a joint map

Space to walk together

To avoid the main trap

Map out routes for solo travel 

With routes back to home
Lead where you follow

Follow where you lead

Jointly share the burden

That way we succeed.

Video sharing adult content.

​She wants to please

Not to tease

 Every move calculated 

As she lays there naked

The phone in hand video as planned

To show her body

In a way  not shoddy 

With preciseness and daring

She feels  she is sharing

Her sexuality

In this fantasy

Daydreams

​Daydreams, night schemes

Living a life together, always smiling whatever the weather

Rosey glow , when really I know

Pipe dreams, crazy schemes

Charisma abounds, excitement confounds

Reality check, from a distance you are perfect

Read between the lines, you commit a few crimes

Happily ever after, couldn’t be dafter

You pride yourself in telling the truth, but lies by ommission I have seen the proof

Adultery a way of life, too engrained too stop the new would always arrive

One of many friends you hold, time coalesces when feelings go cold

Day dreams, happiness schemes

Escape from reality, a little ego and vanity

Hold in perspective, no sadness retrospective

Pipe dreams, crazy schemes

Grounded in reality, fantasy and vanity.
