| the bags all packed weighed and repacked, passports at the ready, the challenge on, to make the leap, holding the nerves steady, arrive at night a mystery this step into the unknown, day break comes, slowly to wake, the wonder we are shown, those mountains rise to meet the sky, the fist raised in celebration, our first day of our new life, we smile in jubilation, who knows what the next month brings, so far what fun we've had, taking it all in, the good to date, seems to outweigh the bad, so as we raise our glasses at the end of day, filled with sun and air, we hope our luck has now improved, to a life which is more fair. |

| Well the way most ex-pats pronounce it, it would be 'Girne'... which is often pronounced 'Gurney' Why they can't pronounce it 'gear-nay' I don't know. It's not exactly a tough one. |

| ¿Qué es un fantasma? Un evento terrible condenado a repetirse una y otra vez, un instante de dolor, quizá algo muerto que parece por momentos vivo aún,un sentimiento, suspendido en el tiempo, como una fotografía borrosa, como un insecto atrapado en ámbar. Un fantasma, eso soy yo. |

| Child of the 60's, what have you done? you took away morals and you called it fun Sunday School was weekly and Marriage was blessed You chose to reject them, now your children face the test. Mods and rockers was your only thought love was free, so long as you didn't get caught Now where is the 'family' what does it mean? Sitting around at Christmas, watching the Queen? |

| The Goat man comes most everyday To feed his stock and lay down fresh hay He beeps as he passes on his way Up the mountain he goes to work and play. The mountain rises out of the mist The sun shines down upon Gods Land The swallows fly dipping their wings In crystal jewels, their chirping rings. This place is heaven for all to see It has a lot of naturality I love North Cyprus it has to be said There goes the goatman now back to his bed. x |

| On Monday, Jimmy drove too fast and should have paid a fine. On Tuesday, Jimmy parked upon a double yellow line. On Wednesday, Jimmy drove through traffic lights while they were red, On Thursday, Jimmy signalled left but then turned right instead. On Friday, he drove up a street you only should drive down. On Satuday, at 3 A.M., he blew his horn in town. On Sunday, Jimmy washed his car and polished it with pride, including the blue light on top and red stripes down each side. |

| Wings With one wing he The evening gently with her. She did not see, but I think felt The warm air change; Did not see, but knew Her wing was healing. Guessing his hands and heart moved Weaving the scented air. Flying in circles Through owl starred night. Cannot see but feels her Smiling, moving warm air. Gliding on the air of care With love and goldenness. She moved his heart Embroidering his damaged wing. Gossamer wing of angels pale In the reflection, wings forged. By loves stream of silver Burning to Golden fire. Meet in dream time Ask the wise man. Can this be Is it I, will we be. I thought it was you Come to visit in the Sun. But no it was not you Whom I feel so close. One of Natures’ gifts A butterfly, kissed my cheek.. Thinking, dreaming could it be Was it sent by her to kiss me. |

| Wings continued Are we merely mortal When we think such things. Mind wide as Universe A million stars. Each star a universe, a thought. A love, a kiss to give. Waiting to discover The sender of Butterflies. One flew close today Thinking instantly of you, Living in beauty Gives a heady rush. Thinking of love again Not so lonely now. Something good is happening Believe and it will come true. Surrounded by Oleander Mountain, rock and tree. Allowing pure and sweet thought The perfume of love. Mountain tops dancing in the clouds Heart pulsating. New magic has arrived From a far. . We glow as we age Likened to a fine wine. Fair face framed by flaxen hair A lady for sure. Svelte and sweet Womanly smile with kind eye. Gentle of nature A rhapsody in skin. Trapped on canvas Framed with sadness. Red the colour of the rose Blanked out the other half. Can emptiness be filled As the ocean moves. Deep my feeling Make my woman whole. |

| Hers to be happiness Golden her days. Kibris love cascading From beaten copper chalice. Fire of passion reflecting The food of love consuming. Lips to be kissed Passion to arouse. Care absolute Fragility to be protected. Strength to be felt Urgency of love. Beauty and passion Twins of love. Giving all to each Taking all from both. Mobbed by butterflies What say they. No entwined limbs Metamorphosis leathery. From chrysalis woven silk Wings of awe. Spun beauty Flight of delight. Beating wing Beating heart. Beating drum Sound birth of love. Nurture this Hold tight. Breath a caress On down of neck. One man woman One woman man. When Eve span Who then was the gentleman. Brightest star Cry of fox, hoot of owl. Loves silent cry Chastens the moon. |

| Sunrise 1 Kissing tree top Awaking bird. Glinting on dew Adorned spider nest. Dancing through canopy Releasing dark to flee. Back to hidden corners Of primordial Earth. Spinning Earth Axis true. Burning disc Scribing daily. Through clouds Beams of light. Life giving Warmth again. Beaten golden orb Lamps dimmed. Wicks trimmed Warmth pervading. Eyes shielded Work begins. Life renewed By burning ball. Lovers now see Before just touching. Darkness their friend Hiding secrets. Eyes beholding Limbs unfolding. Caressing nakedness Modesty comes. Child running Sleepy eyed. Urgently needing Finding, hoping. Is Grandma awake Sun kissed child. Carrying pure love From her dreams. Flowers opening Vanishing dew. Reflecting off water Diamonds and you. Bats and nocturnes retreat Finding leaf, cave and hole. Seeds germinating Tendrils waving high. |

| Sunrise 2 Kiss of the Sun No lips. Feel its touch Warming water. Drying land Life giver. Life taker Desert cruel. Wolf bemused Cowed, silent. No moon to howl Blinded eyes. Seeking shadow Night hunt over. Protecting cubs Hunters come. Fiery planet. Fission fierce. Mysterious flare Light of life. Aztec, Inca High priest, Druid. Wielding knife, sacrificing Alter of perpetual light. Shining on me Warming you. I try to touch Reaching up. Reaching you Connecting hope. Too far, nearly can I see you there. You are my Sun I need your heat. Longing for your warmth Smelling your hair. Kissing your lips You give me life. Hope and care Soon you will rise |

| The Pearl Dark ocean deep Oyster clamped fast. Imprisoned pearl My woman. Holding breath swim Upward, shell in hand. Blade struck Sunshine Polish with a kiss. No gold rich enough To fashion a mount. For such shape divine Lustre and Opaque. Shining light Shimmering wing. Casketed In my heart forever. Thrown high in the night The pearl. The moon shining light A Cyprus moon, Levantine. Turkish Delight, coffee Fez, rug and pipe. Soon the Sun My woman come. Procession of butterflies Greet the dawn Nectar and petals Carpet the ground Arches of oleander Perfume her way. Rising over mountain Chasing mist away. |

| We are all climbing different paths through the mountain of life We may have experienced hardship and strife There are very many points through the mountain of life Some points can be found like the point of a knife. x |

| There was a wee man from Kibris Who tried to get down on one knee He fell on his ass And landed on grass And proposed to hubby not me! |

| fellow man goodbye my fellow man afraid you are not needed women are independant no longer need seeded women are better painters , builders,plumbers and sparks they look better,smell better always up for a lark they make more effort, you have to admit earn more money and take no ....... food and booze make us big and fat look in the mirror would you sleep with that! slowly but surely we are being edged out if it came to fight we would lose the bout sooner or later man will be gone life as we know would just carry on there is but one chance a little hope a chink in the armour a straw or rope every woman no matter how coy dreams of giving birth to beautiful little boy |

| CLEAR VISION As I gaze out my window a vision fills my eyes Of lush green mountains... and clear blue skies The crystal sea sweeps calmly into rocky bays The heat waves from the sun produce a misty haze The sheep climb down the mountain, bleating as they go The flowers seem to bloom all year,a glorious fragrant show A pleasure boat bobs smoothly far into the distance A tree sways gently in the breeze, giving no resistance I hear the sound of barking dogs somewhere far away Drifting softly on the wind, the sound of kids at play A small cloud clings on tightly to the mountain peak A sunshade flapping now and then, shielding from the heat I'll lay outside and read my book protected from the sun Absorbing all these visions, enjoying every one I'll share my words and visions and pass them onto you Just close your eyes a moment and you will see it too |

| Thanks keldanreb, here's a little light hearted one to make you smile, I hope! LITTLE WILLY The name's Little Willy, I'm smaller than most I certainly have nothing about which to boast If I get excited I sometimes grow bigger Like if I see a lady with a lovely figure But mostly I'm just Little Willy, you won't see me around Unless I tie on weights and hang them down to the ground |

| Watching you this morning In my mind’s eye. Rising gently I turn my back. While you bathe and dress I smell your womanly warmth. Involuntary shudder You sense that I am there. A smile rewards my voyeurism I smile back. Watching is rewarding Puzzling too. Much more self contained Than men. Of good habit, graceful Lips capturing crumbs sensitively. Not fair to watch Return to Cyprus Isle. Kiss my love before I go She knows I have been. Raises her hand To touch hair. Softly my kiss brushed Locks so fair. Float to earth Not alone. She reaches my mind Like none before. Sends butterflies Through my door. I gently let them out Fear they damage wing. I talk to butterflies now Asking, is it you. Did she send you What do you know. Land on my hand, please do Then I will know it is you. Talking to butterflies conjures Up visions of men in white coats. |

| Thanks Carole, glad you enjoy. You might enjoy this as well:- Some people like to moan a lot Others just relax Some people don't get any pleasure Unless they're on attack It takes all sorts t make a world Enjoy a sweet refrain Others don't enjoy their life Unless they can complain |

| ROBINS NEST 1 Woman drinking Functional alcoholic. Dress fashion gothic black Hair of silver ringlets. Living a deceitful life Lies tongue tripping lies. Bottle to bottle Abuse to man. Building a rockery Stopping, watching. Robins’ nesting close Stop work do not startle. Stop for incoming worms Love these birds. Mouths to feed Stopping with care and wonder. Hen and Cock, working to ends Chick gaped ochre mouths Cheeping, stop work, move away. They cry. Worm after worm Rock after rock. Both building Only rock is dead. Lovers tiff, leaving permanently. Returning to collect stuff. Nest trashed, chicks are gone Temper, revenge petulant act. Harmony to blackness I do not believe. Cock and Hen are none For humanity despair. continued.... |

| Magpie, I was told Silver ringlets, Gothic black. The plumage of hate Callous, cruel revenge. Magpie I was told Swooping from the sky. I cry for our chicks, Cock and Hen Despising humanity. I cannot hate I cannot forget. Silver ringlets Gothic black Unnamed baby. Un fledged birds Speechless, no words. Cruel act, precise Where was mother. Do I imagine cruelty Swooping black and white killer. Natural is predator bird Natural is jealousy, hate and revenge. Conjecture unsound Sub text rebounds I lied, It is natural I hate Silver ringlets and Gothic black. |

| Old eyes look down on loves long gone hair Surrendered when love n lust full blown Presious time care take n not long to stare at glories see glistening on crinkled fingers shown Put away moist thought and hide that tear Turn look away with half closed eye another day to indure without my dear so much we thoughts when i will die |

| FALLING How I tumbled into it I do not know. A strange, soft place Sweet and warm. Alone, spinning Tumbling neither up nor down. I see a sign, Friday it says Catch the hand, be quick. No bat nor newt or frog Inhabit this place. Just me, I see a light A very small light. I hear a small cry Is that the echo of me. Listening hearing, 'It's me' Who are you? The light, the love Tumbling closer, together. I may faint with the ecstasy What if I miss her hand? My palms are moist What if I slip or miss? Tumbling forever In the void of love. No missing or slip Fated together as one. Smiling, loving together I hear her cry, Yes. Nothing can stop this Wet palms or gravity. I shout, 'It is me' I am yours forever. |

| Broken down cart Ornamental on my patio. Past cargo Hay, grain, carob and olives. Cypriot waggoner Long gone. Donkey or horse Living engine, now dead. Journeying here Pulling there. Carter whistling Sometime singing. Folk songs of old Clip, clop beat the hooves. Rattling chains Rubbing hames. Iron clad wheels Sparking at night. Harvest of grape Olives to press. Merely ornamental now Long gone times. Shed a tear For the waggoneer. His grandson now drives A bus, a taxi or a car. No loads for Dobbin No fetlock scar. Rotted whip Supermarket trip. Grapes in bag Olives in pack. Ruts in track Filled with tarmac. Grooming stopped Painted tin. Stable down Diesel, petrol pump. Feedbag discarded Empty of hay and oats. Land no longer sweet Not fertilised where roads meet. Crops neglected Tree unpruned. Cart drying, rotting Chains rusting. Talk to the car It cannot neigh or bray. |

| Horses’ Winter breath Steaming in the dawn. Lets go, lets go So that I get warm. Start the car Oh, Oh, battery flat. Pat the rear to no avail Everything dies with time. Pluck some hair from tail or mane Bow to violin. Sad refrain Come back again. Ghost walking, clip, clop Through the night. Bearing loads Of memories bright. |
