Doggy Delight
Excited yips, the 3 o’clock pips,
Eager eyes, tennis-ball surprise,
Scampering paws, expectant jaws,
Open door, a bolt into the fore,
The cool crisp air, breathed without care,
The deep green grass, quivers as I pass.
Into the sky, the bright green blob doth fly,
A blur of fur, barks and yaps slur,
A frenzied pursuit, of tennis ball loot,
Grass sent flying, gro...

This Place
This building, this monument to my demise
This place supplanted for working I have come to despise
This battleground of angst and stress
Its tendrils tear down and barriers undress
My everything lies broken upstairs in my mind
My hopes and my dreams like dust from the grind
A warzone where many face few
An enemy within each day anew
My brain I’ll ca...

As yet untitled
Sometimes we’re only supposed to look and not see
But each of us is, as we are supposed to be
If it wasn’t for you
And if it wasn’t for me
Then our meeting would never have come to pass
You are loved for being you, no buts nor alas
So little do you know that so much of me has changed
You saw through my defences, over years they had aged
So grateful ...

Faulty
My faults are many, my problems few
Perhaps too many I tell, but just not you
Through rifts and valleys I suppose you were there
Mostly too self absorbed was I, neglecting to care
I see that now, I will see it still
In years to come when I am old and ill
Troubled am I with a past I cant change
Weary am I with thoughts of mumbling rage
Sorry to say I have let so much slip...

Only For You
Life is precious beyond compare
Even though I no longer see you standing there
What couldn’t I help but miss?
Thoughts abound how it’s come to this
Alone and confused
Feeling mentally abused
The twinkle in your eye
That lit up the sky
The smile across your lips
That warmed me to my finger tips
The look you gave to me
That set my heart free

Weekend Wanderer
Weekend Wanderer
A buffeting breeze smashes the cobwebs from befuddled braincells
As the sun glints off gleaming chrome, many a mile away from home
As the flies embed in grins miles wide, over hill and tor, past idling tide
The sights, the sounds the scenery abounds
The sensations the feeling the tyres a squealing
My company on this voyage of spee...

In memory
Emerald greens
Forgotten dreams
Bacchic delight
Morning plight
Friendlier strangers
Drunken wagers
Calmer living
Always giving
Fantastic craic
Guinness attack
Beautiful island
My Ireland

Like the fire she burns
Leaving embers behind
Like the fire she burns
Labouring sparks in minds
Like the fire she burns
Leaving hearts a flutter
Like the fire she burns
Lamenting lips stutter
Like the fire she burns
Lest cold souls forget
Like the fire she burn...

Maybe
Gently fingers tracing my spine
Lips crashing together
Bodies locked, intertwined
Her hair wild un-tamed
Her fervour so frenzied
Yet somehow restrained
Gliding against one another
Glistening bodies so rapt
Groans refusing to the smother
Pupils agape, dilated
Long days gone by
In expectation they waited
Greased in moti...

One night
Your fingers trickle down my spine
As our warm bodies writhe entwined
Never has there been a feeling like this
Emotions electric past memories remiss
Villainous it maybe, passions soar
Even just once both will crave more
Rousing murmurs bodies aching, sore
Keen desires satiate fantasies base
Now and forever hearts embrace
Only the nigh...

In task
The taste of iron
Dampens the pallet
Artistry like no other
Skilled in execution
Adversities fate lies
Upon blank canvas
Vapid and untamed
Open yet foreboding
The glint in his being
A means of portrayal
Characteristic in task
Chill in finite result
In wake strides on
Stepping o’er past
Histories bedding
False my...

The pen is mightier than the sword ?
He withdrew his weapon
Prepared for battle
Lest he forget just what
He was fighting for
Steeled his nerve
Gritted his teeth
Gazed skyward asking
For the right to succeed
He never started this war
Yet compelled to finish
What was thrust upon him
His mettle to the test
The foe was sizeable
Yet human in form
Skilled in...

She
Polished mystery intrigues my gaze
Lost am I in encapsulated haze
So sweetly occurring
My heart strings stirring
A haven of sincerity
Such beauty a rarity
My heart flutters
My brain stutters
Your angelic in aura
As sweet as any flora
From the north you may hail
Yet my heart has still set sail

The Scream
As I stand in isolation
Twisted in my anguish
My body contorts with the horrors
Taking over my mind
My hands cup my pulsating head
As if to stop it bursting
Face painted in blatant agitation
Eyes stained with terror
Lost am I
In my sea of blackened abandon
Clawing tendrils of water
Sting my furrowed brow
The ravenous seas seem to...

Torn
Bastardized tribulations of a betrayed soul
A carnal thirst for uncorrupted flesh
Soulful and forlorn the desires effervesce
Enthralled by her quarry she lusts tearfully
Deformed ideals limp across an entombed apperception
Enlisted with evil yet loyalties remain torn
Serendipitous in origins preordained in future
In frenzied response on humans ripos...

Insomniacs Ball
Drip follows drop as tick follows tock in my world of wakefulness
Every noise heightened, amplified vividly
Every wandering thought the most important you ever had
The air thick with stale sleepless breath choking the drowsiness
The walls loom expectantly around entombing your mattress of woe
Your quilt suffocates and smothers the sleep from the air
Encased in a cr...

Conceptual
Is time a manmade entity?
Or was it existing long before?
Was it not moving on quite naturally?
Before we saw the need to manage it
Every 6 months society dictates
We play god with the most
Uncontrollable of forces
Mans fascination with
Control and power
Continues…

a moment in time
As I gaze deep into open skies
Longing for a moonlight kiss in the milky darkness
A myriad of stars soften the overhead plain
Pin pricks in vast tapestry, luminosity burning through
Encapsulated by the serenity of being
The artwork of night blessed with light, seeping through the horizon
All around is placid and calm
Pick out the trickle and ebb of water in the...

stripes
As far as the eyes will let me
I see loneliness
Gnawing away at my consciousness
Tripping the switch to abject lows
Epic in proportion
Trying to reach a plateau that cant be reached
Gone is the hope
Alone are my emotions
A freak in a cage prowling back and forth
Bearing teeth at those who near
If music be the food of love I hear nothing

Starlight Over The Rhone
Our stars stood on the bank of the Rhone atop a grassy knoll
The night was the lead on this serendipitous stroll
Our stars looked down upon them with fondness and delight
The evening witness to this wonderous hour pre midnight
Colours seeking such magnificence gaining the rivers gaze
Like shining hearts of heaven streaming through the haze
Streak...

childhood
Skinned knees
Tall trees
Scuffed shoes
Many a bruise
The first kiss
Curfews to miss
School days
The suns blaze
Where did it all go wrong?

transgressions of a furious mind
I gaze vacantly, hopefully nodding and grunting in all the right places so as not to lengthen the tirade of mindless idiocy, pitter pattering upon my beleaguered ears, Surely its obvious about my intent to save more brain cells from sleeping to death?
Could anyone be so stupid or unaware?
I feel it more with each beat, a volatile uprising within, bubbling rage at such blissf...

the ghoul
a little experimental for me but i welcome your thoughts people thanks in advance.
With blistering shrills the wraith made its presence known
Ashen, misty white this shadow of life lay before me
No eyes gazed upon me but torn holes in reality
Behind with obsidian blackened foreboding imprinting itself upon all
An essence of fear gripped the core of my being
A...

inspired by a painting by goya a favourite of mine, enjoy.
Blackened must hung in the frenetic air, unnerved into quivering frenzy
A haze of moisture filled the dank arena, every minute droplet bearing witness
Dreary and silently foreboding, the light was fearful to enter
Even the walls shed their masks unveiling ashen and soulless facades
Ventured forth an...

that night
Twisted metal carnage gleaming in the moonlight
Tick-click, tick-click, tick-click
Crimson ooze gathers and streams down the tarmac
Tick-click, tick-click, tick-click
Like spent matches lying disfigured and discarded they lie slain
Tick-click, tick-click, tick-click
Stars twinkle back upon fractured glass
Tick-click, tick-click, tick-click
An orange beacon flicks to an...

motherhood
Growing inside of me I feel its form taking shape
Day by day this fresh new life grows inside of me
Taking nourishment from its parent as only a new life should
Soon this creation of brilliance within me will fill my thoughts in every waking hour
Forming peacefully within, wrapped in the comfort blanket of my body
I feel within me a presence growing but know not of how I feel as yet
A state of shock I ...
