Sleep, My Lover
Sleep, dear blessed sleep Let us lie as one, together; Let me sink deep Into the arms of my somnambulistic lover Embracing her sweet rest My fatigued, beseeching head Laid upon her narcoleptic breast. As my consciousness is led By her soft and gentle hand And relinquished to the realm of dreams To...

The Silence Of My Muse
So quiet, my love? Will you not inspire me? Will you not fill me with That rush of fiery Passion that seeds creation, With the insight and empathy That feed my dedication, That are my source of poetry? You remain silent, Serene, distant. No inspiration can be be heard Instead I must listen to the...

Delightful World (Mark 2)
The scent of rainbows in the mist, The feel of bird song from the gloom, The gentle Sun's first morning kiss, Makes an enticement of perfume, The unexpected accidental touch That sends shivers down your spine, The voice you like to hear so much That it's like savouring good wine: A thousand sweet...

Delightful World
OK so this one is bothering me, it just doesn't feel right and I've now poked prodded and tweaked it enough that I can no longer see the poem for the words, so I am breaking with habit and posting a work I don't like. Please feel free to tell me where you think the problem is - your input is always...

This Love
Can you hear my heart? It's beat contains your name Listen closely and you'll hear it start, Finish and begin again: It's an endless repetition Of the name that echoes in my soul: The adoring composition Of a love beyond control. This love has no restrictions And no predetermined road No...

Drums
There's a drum in my head With a terrible sound: A critique of the life I've led, It tries to bring me down Listing everything I've said, everything I've done wrong, The beat keeps going on and on, Everything I've done, everything I've said It booms and echoes in my head. The drum in my head bangs...

It
It's the light in the storm Gentle and warm Promising safety and shelter from harm. It's the flower in town Rising though the barren ground Bringing life and colour when there's no other around. It's the first star at night Beautiful and bright Adorning the heavens with ethereal light. It's the song...

Beauty Shadowed
Beauty amidst the shadows, Radiance at midnight Your face is a shining window Into wonder and light; Luminous and gentle Unaware of your sweet grace, Or of the hours when I've spent all Of my time gazing upon your face And smiling.

Meeting her in Daylight
Dancing in the rain Icy rivers on hot skin Never feeling quite the same As when that music first begins. Singing with the lights out Disembodied in the dark It never mattered what you sing about, Only that the concert start. Painting with thunder, Lightening slashing through the ink It's time to...

Like A Fern
Like a simple fern I quietly grow and share my truth With anyone who wants to learn The lessons of my receding youth. The little pains, the victories The things that make me what I am. In verses and in quick stories I try to show the inner man: The man of laughter And of sorrow Who knows not what...
