IT is a beautiful fact
that you and I together
can make one hour
into a holiday -

The Thoughts of Nanushka
Vol I -VI :
[OUT OF PRINT]

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Loving and Living
This Moment is Forever
Between Love and Loneliness
Pocketful of Dreams
The Wonder of Tomorrow

 

TO mourn too long
for those we love
is self indulgent -
but to honour their memory
with a promise
to live a little better
for having known them,
gives purpose to their life -
and some reason
for their death . . . . .

(This poem was read at the funeral of Michael Hutchence.)


Vol VII - XII . . .

Love, Tears and Dreams
Rainbows are for Everyone
After the Loving
Once upon a Memory
Gift of Love
Tears and Tenderness

 

A SOLITARY seagull
rides home
on a shaft of golden sun -
our beautiful day
is melting into dusk -
pink clouds
fade back to sombre grey
and your dear face
is touched with gold -
why should we mourn
the passing of our day
because we know
the night
belongs to us -

from carrying out
the fantasies

Vol XIII - XVIII . . .

The Understanding Heart
Colours of Love
Beyond the Loving
Ride on a Rainbow
Music of the Heart
Love this Moment

 

FALLING in love
is a recurring illness -
the heady nights
and dizzy days,
the raging fever
and the pain -
recovery -
slow convalescence
with the uncertainty
of where and when or if
this wondrous sickness
will strike again . . .

 

LAW and justice
have grown
so far apart
that the truth
is often lost
somewhere
in between -
