Water Nymph
           
The cool green waters of 
the sensual river of life
Flow caressingly over
your dreamlike body
Through your raven black tresses
Depositing silver pieces 
that shimmer ecstatically
Your desires and longings 
are very apparent
To be consumed by love in
that cool green water
Allowing the gentle currents 
to caress your curves
To ripple over your beautiful 
neck and face
Exploring your entire body 
in infinite pleasure
You are seduced by those 
beguiling waters
They teach you the 
sensuality of lovemaking
So gentle, yet so determined, 
they arouse you
In passionate association
with your natural surroundings
They take you and consume you
In readiness for when 
you return to my arms
Then no longer a water nymph
But a beautiful woman 
of extraordinary passions
For then I will possess
you as did the river
And delight you in
a multitude of pleasures
My water nymph

DECENT THRU THE FOREST CANOPY

Waterfall

Waterfall cascading down
in focussed energy
From the heavens, down
into the deep green pool
of life's inner energies
Cold hard aqueous steel
thrusting at the core
Turning rock into dust
Showering the surrounds
with misty clouds
of heavenly creation
Thundering arrow carving
out nature's statement
Life in creation, forces of
decision
Never ending thrust, in living
Infinite, ever changing
paths, heaven directed
Waterfall

Reflections, Green Waters

Reflections in the river
of life

Blue waters flowing
Deeply

Gouging out deep chasms
in white limestone

Surging in torrents of
ferocious energy

Life's forces, penetrating
to the core of existence

Scarring, tearing,
Shaping

In ceaseless waves of
tireless force

To emerge finally in
a vast lake

A lake of deep green hue

Placid and velvet ivy green

Cool, tranquil and complete

And there in reflections

To see my life in all
its true dimensions

Cruel turns and twists,
Finally

Meaning to it all in
placid green waters
