Sunlight flashed across my eyes
Breaking the darkness of morning slumber
And in a brief moment of perception
I saw your face
Sitting, serious, . . .

The Dreams we live on

Dreams
Good or bad

They come to us in the night
Maybe even during an afternoon nap
They tell us things we will not listen . . .

Silken skin
Softer than a dream
Delicately smooth
As the back of my fingers caress
Up her arm
Across her neck
Tenderly pressing my . . .

When I dream
Your face is there before me
Shining, radiant, smiling
Eyes that glow with the sparkle of stars
When I dream
You touch me with . . .

I saw you
(c)2005, Basil Sands
I saw you
Just the other day
Although you couldn't have a known it
It was in a dream, I think
At least I had thought I was dreaming
Or maybe just waking
In that early . . .

The Unwanted

To the step child
With no inheritance
To the late child
Who was an embarrassment
To the weak and the sick and the sad
I write these words . . .

Though up the mountains height I climb
No pool of water could I find
That reflects the sparkling sunshine
As the eyes of my love

Mummy?
Look, mummy, up in the sky.
So many planes.
The blue sky is filled with planes
So high up they looked like tiny birds
Loud birds
They sound like thunder that never . . .

Straining for the Voice of the Muse

It rained
As I walked along the path
Between the houses and buildings
Walking to the place I saw you last
There was no one there
No smiling . . .

The Package

They moved swiftly across the field
Take the package across to the enemy's zone
That was their order
Fanning out in a line
Space between each man to protect against . . .

Wonder

Amazed
Mesmerized by this mystery
My heart beats the sound of her name
My voice breathes a soft whisper
A whisper of beauty unveiled
I see her face and wonder
At how so . . .

Questions from a five year old

Does eating too many pickles turn you green?
If I hold my face like this will it stick?
Is it OK to kick some one who is mean? . . .

If I Fly

If I fly
Will you fly with me
If my feet lift off the ground
And I rise to the clouds
Will you take my hand
And scale the lofty heights at my side
We will climb
Through . . .

Soccer
It's a ball
A grassy field
A net wrapped arrangement of posts
At each end
You kick the ball
Back and forth between guys
Or gals as the case may be
And . . .

You touched me
And warmth wrapped my soul
Your hand caressed my body
Sending waves of pleasure
Through my very being
I felt like I could . . .

The flowery scent of beauty hangs in the air
Her nature given perfume

Quietly permeates
The places she has been . . .

Of the birch along the stream bank
Peek from their resting places
As they uncoil in the warm spring air
The stream beneath me bubbles
Along it’s . . .

Dawn’s Fire

Dark night settled on me
And would not let go
Restless, fitful darkness
No words entered my dreams
No peace
Only shadows
Shadows of cold . . .
