The last Animal on Earth
I’m only an animal
What do I know ?
I sit and gaze at receding snow
I wonder why, 10 years past
I stood at this spot in icy blast
Mysteriously it’s disappeared
So it’s father North I’ll go I fear
I’m lost now in a barren land
Devoid of life the grounds just sand
My coat is still a snowy white
I stick out like a shining light
I look back south
With dimming ey...

Bang
Bang
Its here
Bursting on the day
Asleep for Winter
Bang bang bang
Starbursts of blossom
Exploding in the hedges
Pure white
The bushes breathing out
After holding their breath
We’re here again
A joyous dance of snowdrops
Speckled with Ammonites
Smiling up at the sun
You’re all welcome
Drink in colour
Dance in the light
Buds like coiled springs...

Vaped
Lost, all is lost
No reversal
Hurtle towards oblivion
Fire,,
Produces dust
Hanging in a final curtain of the play
We are in the last act
Sterile grains of mankind
Lying in stillness and solitude
Blown only by the wind
Silence , only silence
The cackle of mankind gone
As did go the roar of the dinosaur
Both vaporised
Leaving only sighs
Leaving o...

Socks
I love my socks
They keep my feet
Nice and cozy in the sleet
They live between my foot and shoe
And do what socks all like to do
Some people keep them on in bed
To stop the chilblains going red
Some fold them up nice and neat
And put them on the cozy heat
Ready for the morning run
In the rain or in the sun.
Through the puddles and ...

Going going , gone
Lost, all is lost
No reversal
Hurtle towards oblivion

Blown only by the wind
Silence , only silence

Lions
Lions
As life goes on the ice gets thinner
Easily fractured, translucent
The wise tread carefully
Looking down at the reflection in the mirror
Through the looking glass into the deep
Peering at the memories swirling below
Unreachable , unchangeable
Thinner and thinner
Towards joinery’s end
With luck
The boatman will arrive in time
Before we are plung...

Peace
I long for peace I long for love
I long for your touch as if from above
Your deep deep eyes
That mesmerise
That draw me in to your castle keep
That comfort me in night time sleep
You teach me ways of ancient strays
Journeyed for a million miles
Across the bridge of souls
Give to me up your hands to hold
In return here’s my heart to mould
I’m like a l...

Here we go again
Here he comes again
Drifting down the road towards me
Swirling mist of impenetrable black
I know what’s to come
Envelopment
Close my eyes
Shut it out
Wait for him to pass
Please don’t linger on my soul
Don’t let your cold fingers
Slip down my throat
And pull my heart from me,
Let me be
I have no interest in you
And you no interest in me.
I breathe in...
