Jurassic Park – Poem

We’re in the eye of a dinosaur storm
Where nature is turned upside down
And our only shining light
Signals trouble is afoot
May this stampede of thunder
Not send us over the edge of darkness

Which sings of glorious days
Amidst the groans
In this gruelling workhouse
Famished faces find little kindness

A princess bids a droid to go
To lands of desolate sands
Shrouding these secret plans
Knowing they may meet again
Holding out for hope in Ben

Jaws of spears
Illuminate this cave
With fear
Some flames will burn
Bright as amber gold
A king shall rise
So the story be told

Sand People – Poem

Startles still sands
Riding like an eerie wind
In to rocky ravines
It taunts and screams
Before the caves swallow
And silence once more

A closer walk with thee
On honeyed sand
Barefeet caressed
In sea as warm as dragon breath
Tread with care
Under the sun’s watchful glare

The tracks of these tears
Are stationed in a sad place
Waiting for them to stop
Falling
In love
Signals a steamy storm

Bountiful bouquets of beauty
Opening like spring buds
Picture perfect petals

Hair desert sun blond
Falls over a forehead
With no force but lightness of touch
Wisdom waits on this face
Like a patient friend

Notes of calm
Linger into twilight hours
Where weary heads nestle
In a dreamlike state
Floating in and out
Of a melodious sleep
