Borobodur

Built by rulers of ancient times
The Sailendra worshipped Buddha
Consummed their thoughts and lives

The great architect Gunadharma
Built the temple in his mind
Years before the first stone was laid

And the gentle King Samaratungga
laid the last Statue Buddha
In a guarded lotus shaped stupa

Before Mt Merapi rumbled afar...

Adventure

Adventures
Biking Climbing Diving

Eating steamboat quill eggs

Stolen French kiss

(away from the kids)

Gliding Hiking Ice-cream

Jumping rope Kite-flying

Loving me on Mondays

NO Pole dancing, my back aches

(So does my no longer slim waist)

Queuing (for Cabbage Patch

Dolls - in the eighties back then?)

Rock Climbing? I prefer ....

Salsa dancing in the garden

Tender walks under Ultra Violet stars

Wine Mixing, non-alcoholic please

X-treme Reality TV, not tonight!

You and only you, taking risk

(Mad) Zebra-crossing at midnight

Little adventures with my knight

Adventures until the end of the trail...

Magic

The magic of the wand
Bewitching

The magic of the eyes
Mesmerising

The magic of a child's mind
Engaging

The magic of touch
Healing

The magic of words
Connecting

The magic of apology
Mending

The magic of love
Accepting

The magic of the universe
Being

The magic of being
Believing

The magic of believing
The inner wand...

The Warrior

Magpie Tales # 39

The seasoned warrior
of the day keeps alert
But cobwebs distort
his short sighted vision

Awk! The warrior falls...

Written for Magpie Tales - which I miss tremendously.

My grandmother

My grandmother is no longer here
But her smile is in my heart
She is in a beautiful garden
A place of serenity - no more pain

And I am having tea from her teapot...

Ma grand-mère

Ma grand-mère n'est pas là
Mais son sourire est dans mon coeur
Je suis content - Elle est dans un jardin
Un lieu de calme et de pas plus de douleur

Et je faire le thé dans sa théière ...
