The riot of spring
Into the riot of the spring
sirens are calling my soul
what the hell is wrong with me?
I feel like I'm a thousand years old
But I've just been a boy
who started a million fires
went down on his knees and then prayed
to catch another glimpse of your face
That day you were wearing a skirt
the day you made my knees shake
all that distant time

There's Something about April
There’s something about April -
the way she wears her clothes:
loosely fit. One button more
and September is exposed.
The veil removed, her flesh reveals
December’s naked trees;
Springtime lurks behind the bark
and drags me to my knees.
I kneel upon her dewy cloak
And make her moss my bed;

Changing season
The first sight of red and black
shiny jewel upon leaf and blade.
First buds that promise pastures greener,
an unthreatening breeze that blows gentler.
Coats are lighter colours brighter,
abrasive breaths no longer shocking,
replaced with a pleasant cleansing inhalation.
A heightened sense of promise is delivered,
as birdsong no longer du...

Spring is here
Spring is here
with blue skies
following us home
from work every night
like a loyal pet dog.
Spring is here
with a rosy twang
in the air
instead of an ice cold shiver
that chills you
to the bone.
Spring is here
with people throwing
their coats over their backs
and opening up
the windows on their cars.
Spring is...

Crocus Buds
`
crocus buds burst forth
peep and poke through dunes of white
winter bows to spring
when the sun begins to shine again
life's vital truths made clear at road's end

SPRING
Good morning dear daddy,
Good morning dear mum,
Good morning dear Teddy,
It looks the spring has come.
Awakened at the dawn
My dream at once has gone.
I’ve heard the song of starling,
Our feathered friends are coming.
The sparrows are chirping,
The titmouse is whistling,
The starling pours the trills,
The warmth of spring it feels.

Spring is Coming
Spring is coming
And faces were pressed
Flat against the windows.
Spring is coming
Breathless and touching
From a distance.
Spring is coming
Like a child
Which is deep inside.
Spring is coming
Like a long lost love
As the sun sneaks
Past the windowsill
In the morning.
And over the shoulders
Of your sleeping be...

eating spring
I have to eat the spring
Gulp down its green life
Bite the buds
Chew on the writhing stalks
Swallow green energy
I have to eat the spring
Winter was a meagre time
An era of starvation
Spring is full and wide and deep
Its promise speaks deliciously to me
I have to eat the spring
Nibbling it won’t be enough
I have to make a banquet...

blackbird's song
I pull the curtains on the blackbird’s song
The youth of the year’s calling
I’m safe indoors
Stoke up the fire
Let winter last so long
That spring will come
Too late
Too late for me
The blackbird's song
It only brings back a past ache
Let young ears hear the blackbird’s song
As old ears quake
This dusk time is too raw for me
