Ballad of the Lovestruck Bricklayer
When I look at you, I see a future,
a place where our hearts meet, and
each day is a new chance to begin,
building dreams, brick by brick.
We start with the foundations of desire
and the plans for our love sketched in the stars...
Each word and each touch is a piece of a puzzle,
forming a home where love can blossom.
Life may be an unfinished building,
but with you, the construction n...

Kiss Me
Kiss me
in the strawberry fields
of your mind.
Kiss me
in rhythm
and rhyme.
Kiss me
until darkness
becomes sunshine.
Kiss me
from pain
to pleasure divine.
Kiss me
through sands
of time.
Kiss me
beyond death
to life sublime.

The Deepest Caverns Are In The Heart
Some descend far under the sea
Others abseil down underground
But its inside part of each of us
The deepest of caverns are found
The deepest caverns are in the heart
Mysterious and echoing and ever dank
Grottos where dreams wither and die
Where a million loves dried and shrank
Love is deeper than anyone can go
There's no bottom to that chasm
Its a death zone...

A Life in a Kiss.
Life in a Kiss.
Sugar-sweet kisses on a bald baby’s crown,
all-comers love you raising dull frowns,
cheek peck kiss... hello my mum,
spit out that dodo, cuddles from gran,
a lift to school in dad’s meat van.
Ta-ra son... his coat smells of lamb,
won’t be a butcher, an also ran.
Bike shed babes’ promises
two-timed in two- tone
a huge let down.
Lend an ear to M...

Sins Of The Fathers
In those eyes, tears do brim
All a-quiver are your lips
I've done wrong again
The latest of many slips
I rack my brains for reasons
Did I omit my morning kiss?
Or fail to hail your daily bloom?
What critical need did I miss?
As the baby's due next month
I'm watching my p's and q's
Skating on thin eggshells
Pandering to your mute clues
Then it dawn...

Kiss
A billion light years away from now
Seems to be our last mutual smile
A billion more miles away
Is were we could stay
In a kiss
So missed
For which I pray

The Final Kiss
The final kiss
Of a love that won’t be
The final kiss
Of a love that can’t be
The pain of knowing, we’re at the end
The pain of knowing, it had to end
But, the love's still there
Still pouring through
A long slow kiss to the very end
Eyes locked close, as we slowly part
Hearts jumping as we gasp apart
I will always love you, we together say
Not knowing what tha...

FATHER AND SON
I touch your cheek,
I'm surprised, it's cold.
I reach for your hand
for I need it to hold.
I look upon your face
that beamed and sparkled
as we loved and laughed,
wrestled and tickled.
Your face is so pallid,
the sparkle is gone,
no more to smile
at the hot summer sun.
Your hair neatly tended,
you lie there so still
as I try, with memories,

Promise Me
When my hands begin to tremble
You’ll place your hand in mine
When my eyes become hollow
That you’ll gaze into them
When I’m at a loss for words
You’ll kiss me so the silence
Can speak for the both of us.

Eviction
Eviction
They were young
and cowering in an alley,
fearful for the future,
as sirens screeched
around them.
The sky a molten white
of churning clouds.
Everyone running,
colliding, jostling,
trying to be anywhere
but here.
She turned to him
with moist eyes
and lips the colour
of arterial blood.
When he tilted
her chin upwards
her gaze never left
the yellowing smoke
unt...

The Sparkle
The Sparkle
The Sparkle,
silver starlight in your eyes,
a soft touch
before we say goodbye.
It’s over too fast,
I hope this feeling will last
until the morning
The Sparkle
of teardrops on your cheek.
All my tears,
the happiness I seek
was over so fast,
I hope this pain won’t last
until the morning
The Sparkle,
our...

The Kiss
the kiss shouted passionately
you anguished tenderly
we kissed a placid mouth late
a desire loved us
the flower cuddled the languishing kiss slowly
she anguished desperately
a breeze anguished
the nice kiss anguished
a misery danced for you
the stormy love shouted tenderly

My tender kiss
How tender is my love to you,
my dearest, my darling!
I watch you in the round dance
And love to see you smiling.
Don't run away, my dearest one!
Why should we fight again?
I'll catch you gently by the arm
And get my kiss. And then.....
I wouldn't like you to complain.
So, I'll give you another tender kiss
For you to remember me and miss.

"… not the only fruit" and "three kisses"
Some poets dream of metre and scheme, of sonnets and couplets that scan,
But there’s one little word, though it seems quite absurd, that exposes the flaw in their plan.
There’s an amber skinned fruit that has been at the root of the nation’s poetic malaise,
This everyday citrus can find poets witless as they stare at a blank page for days.
If one pairs clementine with lemon and lime repetition...
