VERSE - SHEPARD'S CHURCH
SHEPARD’S CHURCH We wandered down the avenues of leaning stone where whispered prayers floated up to the heavens. Where vanished souls of yesterday stood in heavy silence. Now the empty graveyard speaks in hollow tones, inhabited only by a ghostly wind or the beleaguered cry of little Jenny Wren....

POEM - KNEES
KNEES We need our knees Like honey needs bees They bend us like willow Then ache like billio Knees need feet To travel the streets From the mill to the gristle They come when I whistle Don’t take your knees for granted They’ll get you moving When you feel planted Replacements are costly And will...

POEM - NAIL BAR
NAIL BAR Been to the nail bar What a girley Tailored fingers tingle Now they call me Shirley Preened at the nail bar Talons all in tact For plucking on the old guitar Cleaning up my act This nail bar rocks Ticks all the boxes Hands only for my one trick pony Feels like they stopped the clocks When I...

POEM - NOTHING TO SAY
NOTHING TO SAY Nothing to say I sit in silent days Just the whispering trees A prayer on the breeze Nothing to say As time falls away Washed by the rain But the hours don't complain For some the hand stands still And the hours are no more Cogs cease to turn The heart stops yearning There's nothing...

A CALL FROM THE PAST
A CALL FROM THE PAST Familiar tones across the airways A bridge across the years Over continents, across oceans Half a lifetime, half a second She says we have to meet Maybe for just one last time We were so close, yet so far apart Now I find she's still within my heart

JUST ME
JUST ME I don’t plan it, life just happens I breathe out I breathe in Just inhabit my skin As the walls of my heart grow inexorably thin And my bones get weary In their withering slings I’m me just an I Neath a wandering sky They say I used to have it in spades Bright as a button sharp as a blade...

Poetry - JUST BLOGIT
JUST BLOGIT When you’ve got something on your chest And life puts you to the test Just Blogit When your back’s against the wall And you’re heading for a fall Just Blogit There’s never been a better way To say just what you mean When your hearts falling apart And days come away at the seam Write it...

POEM "BROKEN"
BROKEN Broken is broke When you croak you just croak They say bones will heal In the passage of time And fenders can be mended For a dollar or a dime But heads and hearts Once broken just fall apart Like fractures of the soul Like earthquakes of the soil Like harsh words that kill And splinter your...

SLEEP
SLEEP ON I come on home to cool sheets Close my eyes and slide away Darkness of night invites me I surrender to it’s gentle sway To that foreign land, across the border Where no passports are required to be in order A place to cleanse my crowded mind From life’s cares and the daily grind So sail the...

Song
OLD BLACK CROW Old black crow, he knows my name Calling out to me again He would show me how to fly And just how to live a life They say that only time will tell That old black crow he knows me well Black crow is captain of the sky Casting shadows in my eyes Over woodland over hills Through summer’s...
