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
...

The Best Poem Of Allen Ansell
How To Fly A Kite
HOW TO FLY A KITE
First you take the girl
up on the southern Downs -
on a day with light wind
and bright sunshine.
Then you unpack things
from your bulging back pack -
with emphasis on those
Picnic goodies.
Next you ask for help
stretching the fabric out
to fit the sticks inside -
looking in her eyes.
While she holds the tail
you touch her hand with yours
as you tie up the string
ready for the air.
You give her the reel
and offer up the kite
to the heavens where her
presence transports you.
Place your hand over hers
and show her how to let
the string free the kite to fly.
When she turns, kiss her.
It's very simple.
