This page is dedicated to pure indulgence of the literary arts and magical quality of words and in my own opinion The Worlds' greatest wordsmiths and poets.
"Health is not valued till sickness comes"
Thomas Fuller
"He held by the hand this noble lady, crowned with white and clothed in all green, who was so womanly, benign and gentle that though men should seek throughout this world they should not find half her beauty in any being formed by nature. Her name was Alceste the gentle. May fair fortune ever come to her, I pray to God! For had it not been for the comfort of her presence, I would have been dead without help, for fear of Loves words and look, as you shall learn hereafter, when the time comes."
The Legend of Good Women.
Geoffrey Chaucer, 1343 - 1400.
"Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the self-same well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain."
Kahlil Gibran.
The Prophet
Apsara my nymph
My goddess of hope
Hope in dreams
That rise like spray
That cools my brow
And brings dreams to life
When I wake
Inspired
Drenched
In what you leave behind
My tonight
My embrace
To lie with dreams
To lie alone
To lie
Defy
Apsara
Tonight we lie
Aspara my nymph
R.M Dalgarno
Gration ac pulchro veniens in corpore virtus. - Latin.
“Even virtue is more fair, when it appears in a beautiful person.”
Virgil
Just for today
I will not worry
I will not be angry
I will do my work honestly
I will give thanks for my many blessings
I will be kind to my neighbour & all living things.

Almond Eyes
R.M. Dalgarno
Almond eyes
On a perfect face
A princess in lace
Shrouded in shadows
of Hopes and dreams
Can they ever replace
Not
Memories or dreams
The Sun he will rise
And the Moon she shall follow
Almond eyes
This night thru the morrow
With not laughter
Nor glee
Oér deep dark sorrow
Almond eyes
This soldier will follow
Not into the breach
Nor flaming cannon
Just peace and creation
As perfect embrace
In almond eyes
I will surely follow
The gold that sparkles
Like five embers so bright
Almond eyes
Bring peace tonight.
Fearless in the night
Tender in the light
Never feared
Always revered
Yet strayed
A sheep from the shepherd
Towards the wolves
We run like fools
Hide the light
Hold your heart
Near and dear
Mindless fear
Feral instinct
Soft love
Hard to love
Away my love
Abide with me
Get through
Tear through
Tear that tear
Tender touch
Ruthless savage
Civilised barbarian
Open to that feeling
Closed to search
Out of reach
Yet shares my bed
Lays its head
At lion’s feet
My Judas goat
My protective moat
My lies
My deceit
My trials
Never to be tried
A criminal in the wings
A lion alone
This pride never joined
The blade ever sharp
Eros be damned
A lion
Afraid
In Daniels’ Den
Love in Silhouette
R.M. Dalgarno
I saw you
R.M. Dalgarno
Why so blind
Why a sad song
Not a happy song
Just a lamentation
In the wild
A wind that scoured the world
A sun that baked the world
A river that drowned
A sky that frowned
I saw you
In your graceful gown
I saw
That star
Special and far
The one that
From the sky
could never fall
I heard
That autumn leaf
Brush the earth
Before it danced
In a cold wind’s embrace
Gold and bronze
I swear I heard it
Sing your songs
I felt that snowflake
I saw it settle
Run like a diamond tear
On a child’s cheek
Rosy and pale
And trickle over
A happy giggle
A song
on a gentle breeze
Under a warm sun
A bubbling stream
A dream
0f silver and blue
All because I saw you
