Samuel Oldknow poetry special

spoken word Christmas cheer

season greetings to all

uncertain drinkers showed fear

ordered pints dived downstairs

before poets could explain

no forceful approach intended

to take sacred vow

cut wrists give blood

sacrifice mortal human spirit

experience open mic session

give poetry a chance!

Landlord had to whisper

as they fled be...

I'm falling in love

with someone

I am falling in love with

words inspired by love

she worked at Woolworths

I'm falling in love

I am falling in love with

punk band Buzzcocks charted high

I am falling in love with

seventies single plays again

A violent attack

innocent victim struggles

sharp steel blade

strikes without thought

cuts deep inside

senseless barbaric killing

another life lost

hundred thousand whys

angel of knives

sends a message

to those who

carry lethal weapons

stop and think

before street crime

leaves more scars

for more families

one day it

might be your

Mum and Dad

Follow the river

human bloodshed runs

millions of poppies

wave after wave

wasted lives lost

blue flows red

the unknown ocean

dark memories drown

never to return

unless in sorrow.

Private view

steamy full

length mirror

Cold shiver

sensitive bottom

strange reaction

Not alone

ghostly hands

goose bumps

Naughty tingle

slightly moist

soaking sensation

Hot blushes

overwhelming desire

insane craving

Body sweat

feeling horny

wanting more

Fancy finishing

me off

in bath?

Voice calls

Poetry reading surrealism art

coloured images silent thoughts

mirrored painting words reflect

Visitor pink flamingo outfit

begins her exercise workout

moving freely uncertain boundaries

Audience still watching listening

surprised but pleasantly amused

poetic verses delivered applauded

Crowd pleaser departs smiling

perhaps responding unconscious calling

New Mills Festival

uplifting poetic voices

creative energy displayed

inspiration powers rhyme

drifting at first

then they remain.

Eccentric behaviour

causes concern

but ignored

by onlookers

Determined poets

vocal purpose

rising defiant

madness froze

Flipped mind

without impact

meant exhibition

remained intact.

Loving Aunties never moved

in case one day

the door might open

instead time marches on

welcome mat gathers dust

baby cousins enter life

not knowing his smile

the family left behind

still wait,still hope

ten years have passed

since being dropped off

in Manchester city centre

traveling to a hostel

for a few days

disappearing into thin air

no goodbye messa...

Bees are buzzing

circle around hive

City of Manchester

each statue guards

a deadly sting

our anger contained

artistic message sent

throughout the world

peace unites people

against all evil

standing as one

we stay strong.

That's strange

I had

a dream

about you

When awaken

starlight figure

instant heartbeater

eye contact

We exchanged

glances on

the fast

moving train

That's strange

I had

a dream

about you

Who says

dreams don't

come true.

Lie with me

stirring passion demands

intimate joy waits

Emotions burn desire

that ones's body

has difficulty ignoring

Uncontrollable volcano explodes

hot lava flows

cool whispering words

Twin pleasure trips

giving exhausted lovers

a double surprise.

Even when raining outside

you make the sun

shine a radiant love

inside my summer heart

each and every time

two smiles meet up.

Sharp blade cuts I panic

Trying to get past them

The problem solving never wrong

I told you so people.

No one can fool me

said the man

who saw right

through me

as I tried

to make him

look foolish.

When distance

becomes insane

When eyes

don't connect

When I

ask questions

When reply

explains nothing

When reasons

confuse feelings

When cold

winds carry

My love

for you

Far Far

Far away

For When

to happen

Love must

stop running.

Enchanting beauty black magic

crimson fire burning desire

She Devil hell raiser

out of the darkness

beast lies hidden beneath

human female seductive form

I yield my soul

male slave sexual spell

ignoring the warning signs

without shame totally used

door closes weeping constantly

dreams shattered beyond belief

stolen spirit heart possessed

suicide note ashes re...
