A place to publish my poems. These are written from time-to-time (rather than regularly) and some have been placed on various other sites on the internet. I will add them here as the mood takes me. The main themes of my poetry are implicitly Buddhist in nature ... but really everything is implicitly Buddhist in nature.

Intimate Embrace
When I walk into an unlit room
I know you're there by your perfume.
It comes to greet me waft by waft
Diffusing without need of draft.
As though in form of tenuous ghost
Intangible amorphous host
Your presence fills the darkened space,
Surrounding all in your embrace.
So when I dive into your cloud
I am within you, deep inside.
Your essence spreads from wall to wall
Like woven web its wisps enthrall.
Your sweet seductive voice, though fair,
Is simply ripples in the air,
Compressions driven through the gas
Without which no sound would pass.
The image of your lovely form
By speeding quanta it is borne.
It's only what you don't absorb
That reaches to my optic orb.
But odours are more intimate
Free molecules that emigrate.
Your substance, loose, my flesh surrounds
My very breath with you abounds.
In public places we conjoin
Each nose in touch with scented loin.
No monogamous restraint
For each enjoys the others taint.
From the room you have departed
Fragrance still has been imparted.
This privy truth you must allow
I still abide within you now.
