Grey

Hello and welcome to my new poetry blog, some of you who know me may be surprised by my writing and those who don't know me at all I hope you enjoy it.

Quite an old one this but as this is my first entry I thought I would start as I mean to go on.

As the grey old man slips his niche

He discovers the heavenly pleasures of the world

Also he finds that dogs on ...

STOLEN

 

STOLEN[1]

 

He used to write to her, do his penpal letters in his spare time. Nothing special, you understand, it’s good to be friends and have fun.

Over a year’s worth of letters sent both ways, something young people do. Talking about music and films and their lives.

Out of the blue they came and took him from his homeland, to her land, but he wasn’t destined to meet her...

Lido

Save me from the lido

it makes me horny

I'm drowning in pure beauty

take me away

from the unnecessary love

I think I've had enough

 

Save me from your claws

I'm hurt already

there's only so much flesh you can have

blood stains on the beaks

of sweetest seagulls

why

life is a death trap?

 

She said no

I won't let go

I won't let g...

unicorn

 

It was on Monday that I first saw the unicorn in my garden.

I noticed that he had to eat leaves from the trees.

If he bent his head to the grass his spiral horn would stick in the ground.

I started to feel sorry for the unicorn. He seemed lonely.

I realised I was in love with the unicorn.

He was so beautiful.

The unicorn and I talked for the first time.

He was ...

My Lifeboat

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The whirlpools of loneliness

were pulling me down,

you were my lifeboat.

 

With all my effort,

I forced myself

to push towards you.

 

Your kisses, your smiles

your touch saved me

from my lonely life.

OPPOSITES: FOUND

 

OPPOSITES: FOUND

 

Lift me up to the stars in your embrace,

come to me, bear your soul as I will for you.

Not long now, we’ll be together. I have to watch

my emotions as you come to claim me – when I have

you I’ll do what is expected of me.

Be patient, I have learnt that. I’ve done my best

and will do for you, for us. So come to me now,

be my soulmate a...

BELIEVING THAT I LIED

I know that it always hurts

When I think of you,

And I know it always will

Every time I do.

 

The memory of what we had

Just won't go away,

And knowing that it turned out bad

Darkens each new day.

 

| know when we said goodbye

Something in me died;

You seemed to be so very sure

When you said I lied.

 

It wasn't just the words you used

Thaumaturgically Charged

Now I have released the Beast

I send it forth

Tail whipping; teeth snatching

the old

the young

running

thither and yon

until thaumaturgically charged

it breaks forth

Lightning striking

red slash/

and lo

flashing

black and gold

until thaumaturgically charged

it knows....

Peace

At Celine's Request

 

                                                   At Celine’s Request

 

 

          So how does it make you feel?

What moving thoughts are you having -

While transient the clouds forever change

The view,

     I am a transparent man

You can see right through me;

As ‘she,’ sees through all -

As they try discard her gaze -

From upon the world old ...

You

 

You

You only feel lonely when you’re in a crowd
Say you need peace and quiet then turn the music up loud
Only feel let down when you’re being held up
Say you’re okay, and then almost erupt
Only feel my presence when I’m far away
Only say go, when you want me to stay.

You speak words of wisdom and act like a fool
Set high standards for others, then break every rule

LOVE TAUGHT ME

This was recorded by the excellent Pete Dymond and Marcie down in Bristol.

O.K. folks...read - or sing along!

I was the one who knew everything,

Had a "Bachelor of Loving" Degree;

But love taught me and now I know nothing

love

You know, it happens that...

 

You know, it often happens that…

People love one another.

They give love to each other in return.

In love affection they both burn.

 

It also happens that love is cut off

By someone’s an invisible measure.

That measure  just scoffs,

Forgetting that love is a treasure.

 

It happens…love is boiling of passion

And someone becomes the universe.

BUTTERFLY

BUTTERFLY
My dear butterfly who flew into my life, you take away my darkness and make me happy. Not sure how long it's been since I was happy and danced close with a real lady and really smiled a real smile. . By your actions of coming into my life, you banished three years of darkness away, gone for good. We went to the art gallery and looked at the pics, you explained what pictures you like...

Home

They say home is where the heart is

and my heart is where the art lives.

 

So where is my home?

 

Art lives within us all

and begins an internal/external exchange...

a process

like humanity to trees.

We stop, relax, breathe

as one.

 

So where is my home?

 

First Contact was my spiritual home

gave meat and marrow to

What happens when a triumph

doesn't ring like titanic trumpets?

Hopes remain Titanic,

exceptional, erroneously erred

and sinking with realisation.

Is is safe to surface now?

is it safe to come out?

To tell the truth........
