Some of the poetry combined with images at www.mylenwyd.com/photopoetry
Zenfolio (which also powers this homepage) limits the amount of text
one can put on a mainly image-oriented site. So you'll find hereunder some
of my favourite poems and in English only. All my poetry - including further
English as well as French, German and some Spanish and Italian items - I continue
to publish on Twitter under the @mylenwyd handle. Thank you for coming over!

Oppressive heat, the concrete boiling,
the air in waves as if a surf,
the city burning into me.
20170828
Blue hour after heat and rain,
the air so fresh as if in spring:
a good night now to go for good.
20170821
Alone without you, solitude within:
you're so full of presence,
a sparkle to life.
20170820-2
Golden light sweetens the dusk,
ev'ning relents to cede to the night:
gone is my love, and I yearn for respite.
20170805-4
When it's me to go, it'd be like this:
beads of rain, perish'd for good ...
20170805-2
Raindrops kissing tenderly
leaves while broken in their fall:
last caress before they perish ...
20170805
Softly in your dreams
the grey light of the morning
touches now your hair.
20170802
Blinds painting shadows on an empty pillow -
I still feel your hair, guess your scent:
Whether we parted for good we'll know but in the end.
20170730
Her body dripping as she rises,
her hair now clinging to her breasts,
her eyes so fiery: dawn of time ...
20170729-2
Dissolving contours into patches:
blue hour ceding kingdom to the night;
solitary tones a'drift in fading light ..
20170727
Train doors closing in our face,
your eyes not leaving mine:
you are the one, despite the space.
20170726-5
Like animals, by equal measure
he and she not wont to give:
the waste of dawn betrays their pleasure.
20170726-4
Her lustrous skin: almost forgotten;
her fragrant body: distant past;
her gentle touch as if not true.
20170726-3
Rain across the fields of soul,
a smould'ring heart ablaze in steam:
mind's agony before the peace ...
20170726
Midnight past, the rain a'pourin',
greys and blacks in chase of blues:
my mind at rest, despite the hour.
20170725
A soft breeze stroking the reeds
into a solitary lullaby:
the falling dusk resonating dry ...
20170715-2
The morning rain a quiet promise
of summer scents at noon ...
20170715
Twilight pours into the room,
soft rain on leaves outside,
a dawn for no tomorrows ...
20170714-3
When the soil's all soaked so the water seeps out: such is real beauty ... never merely atop.
20170714-2
Elusive beauty, you inspire
searing lust, and burning pain,
a passionate life without respite ...
20170714
Back on soil which tells our lives,
I long for you to share: I feel
too weak to love you less.
20170709-2
The secret garden of my life,
where heart is light, the head still lighter,
and beauty reigns serene ...
20170709
The rolling hills of my youth -
a sight I return to behold,
refreshing my heart and my soul.
20170702
My fingertips on skin so soft
to make herself forgot,
but then her scent will not.
20170623
The last of her pictures gone up in flames,
the last of her memories but in my mind now
autumn's the balm to put my heart to rest.
20170618
Blue hour's close, the lights are dim,
the city heat a heavy weight
on hearts wide open to the night ...
20170618-3
To learn to love you sans desire,
to want you but without an urge,
to wait for you as if all time.
20170618-2
Friend without the lover.
Lover without the passion.
Passion without madness.
Madness without the rush.
20170618
Knowing the love of your life
with the love of their life -
whose life will you get on with?
20170607-2
Sunset's touch to velvet greens,
blue hour's kiss to silent waters,
nightfall's strangling my lonely soul ...
20170607
An eye lash clinging to your cheek
where tears have now run dry:
do not despair, my love, I'll seek
from you not farewells, just good-byes.
20170605
She casts a spell I'm loath escaping,
an aura I would yearn to keep
as close as skin, yet is so fleeting ...
20170527
Fine amusement curls the corners of her lips, the sentiment reaching to ignite a sparkle in her eyes: she's seen it all in life, for sure ..
20170129
A slender limb splits through her shift, arms stretched out in noble welcome; yet eyes a dare to sweep her off and carry yonder
20161226-3
In wintry nights the moon pours light as gently as a silk caress, relieved then by the morning sun as hoary frost and dawn progress ...
20161226-2
First light seeping through the grove, dawn patrol now nearly done: purveyor of beauty, morning sun ...
20161212
Strings of pearls are flowing down the silken valley of your breasts, swashing over mounds and tips when idly you turn over ...
20161209-2
A flame in distant, far'way land, a mountain not for man to conquer; an inner kingdom for the chosen, the ear the eye to feel the scent.
20161209
Every day and every hour, every time I take a breath, I see you there and can't but wonder ...
20161202
A passion without resistance, a love that has no defense, a yearning without hope for redemption ...
20161119
Pale blue light of weakened hours projecting shadows soft on walls: simple myths for timeless ages.
20161116
Enfolded in burgundy, crowned in curled red,
bejewelled in glitter and stockinged in black:
oozing her passion from toes up to neck.
20161114
A simple blue dress hugs her curves,
lacy black silk underneath stretched taut
by globes too plainly striking else
20161111
The melancholy of leaving,
the sorrow of good byes:
old friends I'd rather keep.
20160829
When beaut'ful things come to an end we add the mem'ries to our heart and 'joice in looking for th' beyond ...
