Allen Ansell Poems

HOW TO FLY A KITE

First you take the girl
up on the southern Downs -
...

I wanted you…
The hand that softly lay in mine.
The kiss that devoured my lips
And sucked the breath from my world.
...

I see the sun stream through the window,
and cascade upon your hair -
like some Goddess lain before me,
but you...
...

Out of a clear blue sky;

out of a smooth ripple-free pool -
...

I wished for sunflowers to lift their heads.
Feeling the warmth of your breath
they gently sway in tune with my love.
I wished for passion and earthy sweat
...

NO MORE SMILES AT EVENSONG

Let me set the scene:
It is a cold Winter's day
...

A moment of heaven came
When in an innocent move
She threw her arms about me
And I felt the familiar
...
