A Moment With True Friends
I'd rather have a moment with true friends
Than live a lonely life that never ends

Pier Thoughts
We drove to the lake
And parked our cars
And went out on the pier
And laid under the stars
I said to my friends,
'What was the best day of your life?'
One said,
'The day I met my wife'
Another said,
'The day I scored the winning goal'
And another,
'The day I got out on parole'
Then someone asked me,
'What about you?'
'Today,' I said
And i...

Howling Edge
"Give children fire, so they can grow stronger than anyone you've ever known"
Take me to the edge
Give me wings to touch the sky
Let me hustle my sorrow into the wind
May my pain echo in a kind
Might it set their world on fire
Tears pumping through their veins
Let them know what I've felt
What ache I've been in
And they'll heal as soon as their own wind whisper hits 'em
As a hurricane

Remember When
Remember when we acted so sly,
Going to lunch and getting high?
Remember when we camped and drank all night;
all of us glowing in the fires light?
Remember the girls we used to date,
How they never used to make us wait?
Remember the time we all skipped school?
Always together, forever, free and cool.
Remember how we all dressed the same,
And thought those over 20 were lame?
Remember ...

Infatuation
I don’t necessarily want to be like you
There are times when you drive me up the wall!
I thought I wanted to be friends with you
I thought that we were something that we we're not
The reason is that I want to be like you, not that I want you
I want to be able to turn my phone over when someone calls
I want to be had a look away and ignore that “ting”
I want to put myself first...

Faith, Love and Honesty
I will be embarking now on a sequence of poems, in chronological and thematic order, that will stretch back right towards some of my earliest poetry. The collective theme is 'Love's Tempest', within which there will be various sub-themes. We start with the sub-theme 'Beginnings'.
Although this particular poem was probably written when I was 19 or 20 years old, it talks about earlier chidhood. I...

To a Late Friend
No more asking of “what” and “why”;
As always, silence replaces the weeping.
I keep repeating that you are not alive,
But you are not dead either, you are just sleeping.
I hear your steps on the staircase,
Your voice rushes in, then, the smell of your hair.
You smile at me, and I look through your face
As the cold of eternity fills up the air
And rests on the lifeless face ...

A Friendly Splash
A little memory with my favourite animal
The wrinkled grey skin
And that playful grin,
He drew out his trunk
And from the bark he took a chunk.
With that sparkle in his eye,
He certainly wasn’t shy.
We had a connection,
A friendly affection.
In the water he gave a whimsical splash,
With that the day ended in a flash,
Until we meet ag...

Real Room
I miss the way you make brews too weak,
Served up with endless biscuits,
I miss the way the room goes quiet,
When we howl with childish laughter,
I miss stealing words,
Between cries of our children,
Time standing still,
As we ramble through weeks again,
I miss lifting each other up,
Plotting schemes for the future,
'Thank goodness for videocalling'
I say it, it's true,
But oh, how...

#2 (my mad friend)
My mad friend,
a handful
of sequinned
wild-eyed zeal,
teetering
on bullets.
Shield-in-mind,
I should call
For backup.
