Lithuanian girl,
Feet in the Baltic, icy waters in summer sun
Looks out towards Gotland , and wonders what will become.
An island , steadfast, proud of history
Its past like all , surrounds a mystery
Her eyes grey as summer clouds,
Pierce the light,see through the shrouds
They clear the way for future life
Determined, calm, wise, and bright.
Chin on hand star...

old CAT
Ok Mr Mouse. I’ve had my fun
I’m now just and old cat. , sitting in sun
Time was ,I’d creep up jump and tease
Toss you here and there , play as I pleased.
But these days I just can’t be bothered
I flick my tail, leave it to the others,
Curl my paws and lick my claws
Shoot a glance at the dog filled door.
They always follow me around.
They can’t quite figure me...

citadel
Hold my hand
Hold it tight
Hold me close
With our feet in sand
Sea salt perfume
Mirror sea, dancing lights
Rhythmic waves ,
Cooling the mind
Warm breeze, in your hair
Gently flicking across your eyes
I stare at you mesmerised.
Steps on the beach
Left behind as we advance
Each one a memory gone
Randomly together
As we dance
Eyes to the stars

hurt and soul
My heart lies on the roadside
Cast aside by youth
in the search for truth
Left to rot, openly beating
Crying for the body , waiting for the scoop of angels
To place it in the breast of a lover
Gone it is now , in dust and smoke
Barely a stain left where it fell
No resurrection, no connection
No hot blood running through
But eaten by the crows.
Will i...

I- compass
I was sitting with my phone
just the other day ,
and yes it has a compass
so I thought I’d have a play
According to the dial , on the initial trial My dining table faces North degrees 330
Whilst my sofa ( at my wife’s behest )is juxtaposed southwest .
Which I believe makes her feel shirty
And if of interest, and I’m sure
you all will have an inkling,

Oblivion
When I hold you,
You melt in my arms like snow in spring
Rivers of warmth course from your body,
drowning my senses ,
blinding my eyes ,
like the piercing sun, gently washing me downstream in a flood of unconscious.
Precious moments , snatched,
You draw the laughter from my lips
Like waters from the deep well
Fathomed by hands of angels
Head throne back ...

God please save us.
Putrid rhetoric, pours as a river of blood
From the mouth of the worlds new hood.
Spreading plagues of hate to unborn
Babes of rape from the devils horn
Generational grief, created by a thief
Whose poison spills like poison wine
Drowning humanity down infinite lines
No healing or forgiveness this time
Hearts wrenched out and held on high
Like trophies while the...

Peering in
Raven hair, hazel eyes
Windows in to what you hide
Revealing smile, warm red lips
Cups that beckon, nectar sips
Tight green dress, clasped at waist
Alluring Angel, just in reach,
Hold your hand out, call for help
In you gravity , I can’t help myself
Caught in your gaze, I cannot blink
I can see inside you through the chinks
The fire inside , burning bright

Fool crumb
Youth is before the fulcrum
Anxious to progress, time to waste
Rushing through new emotions
The flower of life opening up before the eyes
Joy of life ready to taste
Winding paths eagerly tread,
Randomly taken on a whim of mind
Pounding heart the sun pours in
Few rainy days , no gasping sighs
Eyes wide open , but temporarily blind
There comes a point unseen ...

Good bye
Death is a magnet
A black hole of no escape
Concentrating emotion in a vice like grip
Crushing the hearts of those left on the ship
With progress up the hill
Slowly step by step
Towards the final stillness of the grave
Above the tower St George, he waves
The last goodbye to all below
Framed against the clear blue sky
Peers down on grief and willow
Careful...

AbySS
Shut out , shut tight
Locked in , look in , not out
Don’t come near
Visor down, armour steel,
Sword in hand , I can’t feel
Shield on arm
Cold ,
stone lips
Not speaking , dumb now
No thought , no feelings
Ambivalent to the room
Bereft to the moon.
Shutting down,
Echo sounder is all I hear
Reflecting nothing
In the deep,
An abyss on the edge of an a...

Pirates
Sailing the seas of love
Tossed on the oceans of your heart
Whatever the weather
We are pirates of the earth
Plundering our emotions
From the finish to the start.
Crashing on the rocks of life
Shattering our souls on cliffs of glass
Surfing the waves of chance
Salt tears in our hair
Whirlpools of circumstance
Danger as the winds that blow round the ear...

pOOl
There’s a pool inside
Mirror surface, depth infinite
Soul caves
Each holding a prisoner
Shut tight
Black as night
No moon
No stars
Asleep , waiting,
Nothing will awake the beings
Hidden away from from sunlight
Condemned to stone
Stir not
Fear keeps them at bay
one day
turn away
They will creep out
Grotesque and pale
To be met face to face...

Brother in law
I new when I saw
Who the call was from
She never phones , or very rarely
Sister of 66 years
Big gaps we don’t know
But the precious times
Punctuated by years
Are as if we were children again
Siblings drifted into our own lives
Away from the nest of nurture
I new as soon as I heard her voice
The familiar comfort of childhood stories
eagerly listened, bu...

GrEEn mAN
The green man is at my gate conjuring up like magic those that sleep in the earth in winters dark days.
The larks again have found their voice and soar up in the crisp dawn air , to find favour with a mate so fair
Frantic is the air and ground as hoof and claw alert with hearts beating , eyes wide and nostrils flared sense the forthcoming battles ahead , to ensure their line is k...

End game
I hear my heart beat slow in me
My breathing measured like rolling sea
The swell of mind it washes round
The drift of thought shuts out life’s sound
The wind of life blows through my frame,
I realise now it’s not a game
A one off try to reach the end
And navigate the the unseen bends
But journey is not solitary
Accompanied I’ve been by many
Some have stumbl...

Hope ?
Eyes reveal the inner soul
Of humanity disappearing down a hole
As lost minds stagger in disbelief
Reach out for help , some small relief
Clouded by the fog rolled in
Shutting out the noise and din
Clutching hands of fragile infants
That follow , trusting, of their charge
Their steps that lead them to their future
The wind is cold the ground is hard.

Z s HELL - ter
Take me by the hand ,
lead me like a lamb that follows gleefully in the steps of the Ewe
Teach me your ways, cast me in your spell , steer my through the storm
Show me the stars, calm my heart, free my mind , free my soul
Wrap me in your eyes, breathe me in.
For I need shelter
From apocalypse around
From shuddering ground
I need armour of steel
I need seas to ho...

lOst at the CafE
Empty coffee cup
L’addition
Stuck
Between saucer and cup
Sultry sun
Wicker seat
Accordion beat
Another cigarette
Marking time
Blue smoke
Hangs
Iike a cloak
Marble top table
Room for two
Blue ashtray
Full of stubs
Plane trees
Cool shade
There she is
Cool white
Flowing dress
Knowing yet unknowing
Her eyes caress

Ra-iN.
Counting the raindrops I feel you close to me.
Counting the tears I need to hide away.
I break in waves, on the shores of your emotions
Washed up at your feet like a thousand miles of ocean
Call up from the depths the monsters we know
Let them dance on the decks of the
ships,
that are ghosts of the show.
The show we all act in where we all find our strength wher...

I am the sea, tempestuous
Cold and deep
Deadly and dangerous for those that dare sail on me
Foaming , hidden secrets of rock
To catch those unawares
Unfathomable
Harbinger of death , cold , lost souls
Unpredictable deceptive
Endless.
Unknown
I am the sea,
Calm and warm
All embracing, healing
Azure, clear, shallow
Full of life.
Mother of life, b...

Train draws in lives renewed
Hand through the window open the door
Step down, municipal smell of station
Journeys end for some.
Case first, bag second, travel done.
Whistle blown Slam
Slam Slam
Onward change for others,
Car,bus, taxi,plane
Possibly another train
Facing forward facing back
Hand luggage on the rack.
Passing stations full of faces

The blacksmiths hammer rings down the ages
Forging the steel on the anvil of life
White hot metal the souls of men
Drawn across the black face
Formed across the horn
Bent to conform.
But what about the sparks
Breaking free with each blow
Bow not to the pattern
But dance in the glow
Each briefly shining escaping the heat
In air quickly dying , shootin...

Hope
I wasn’t there
And can’t imagine
The fear the death, the hopeless crowding
The sick the dying the poor the crying
The black abyss that swallowed all
The world aghast the smoke, the pall
Just writing this it makes me sick
At mankind’s filth, at mankind’s tricks.
No more, forever, we must avert
We must be vigilant we must be alert
But slips unseen ...

thE 200,000
Mankind knows nothing
200,000 years of huffing and puffing
Clawing a way up evolutionary ladders
We then slip down the slippery adders
Each invention speeds the time
To our demise I think you’ll find
We think we’re conquering the void
But all we do is produce more noise
The clamours of mankind grow loud
As we spread across the earth in clouds
Like locusts co...

Amen
I’m stuck now between your gaze
And games your beauty with emotions play
You arch your back up to the sun
Sensual moments have begun
A peek of flesh beneath your dress
It’s causing me now undue stress
Your laughter is like alcohol
Coursing through my bodies Well
Beads of sweat appearing now
Control my shakes , I don’t know how
You take me in your open arms

sea GIrL
Gone in a whisper,as summer breeze washes
Your locks ,flowing hair streaming as if the wind is your own.
Untamed by your laughter and smiles,
Tossing your head in animal mane
The world is yours , with hordes at your feet,
Conquering all hearts that lay before you.
Dancing down the sands into the surf,
Sylthen body glistening in the foam,
Rising like the mermaids of le...

close
Navigate the oceans of your love
Crossing the deserts that rain from above
Leading my heart to a life far beyond
Time and space never dreamed of or planned
Floating on wings that unfold as we talk
In delicate whispers that shadow our walk
Our echoes ascend, absorbed by the sun
And return with the truth reborn as we run
Embraced by a feeling that we both belong

Cort
Catch me when I’m falling
Help me when I’m calling
Hold me in your arms
Bring to me the calm
Your mystery sways before me
I stand in ancient glory.
Captured by your gaze
That leads me through the maze
The wordsmiths are at work again
Weaving spell like bullet rain
Soaking me with ignorance
Dowsing me with blackened pigments
Painting me out the sce...

CHasm
I can see you now alone in bed
Sweet dreams I hope , will fill your head
No shadows cast before your mind
But thoughts of words and deeds of kind
To lie with you a dream to me
But sadly that will rarely be
The void that separates is wide
I want you here now by my side
I close my eyes and see you there
In front of me your wide eyes stare
Deep into mine , two...
