The sky sweats; Perspiration drips onto crumbling soil Around the dry skeletons of plants And the rattle of the grass. Spring forgets The weeks of almost fruitless toil Where new growth barely stood a chance Watching the rich clouds pass. Moisture lets The tiny withered shoot uncoil And succumb to...

The Office
I sit surrounded by fear Wishing that I wasn't here, Feeling disrespected They're all disaffected And are taking steps to the rear. I wonder how to help them see That "resentful" is no way to be, Feuds are only ended When hands are extended And it's then that we can all be free. Sign in to see full entry.

Free
I have a butterfly mind That must flit on whimsy's winds, Not pausing for more than a blink Before returning to its dance. I have been unable to find That place where an idea begins, Or the clarity I need to think; There has been little chance To plan how things ought to be And so today has remained...

On Hold
The jangle of an empty tune, Heartless, small souled And inoffensively bland Sets my mind free. I will not be speaking soon So my mind travels until called, Wandering vistas grim or grand Creating scenes that I would see With nothing left for me to do Than adventure in my mind with you.

Sunlight
In the sunshine I recall those eyes That echoed such tender light With glances warm as summer skies, Looks as gentle and as bright, And those smouldering sultry stares, Passionate, exuding heat As sudden as a solar flare. The sunlight somehow feels incomplete Without those eyes to keep it there. Sign in to see full entry.

Shall I Paint?
Shall I paint myself a noble steed, Shining armour and a lance? Shall I sketch you as a damsel in need And draw a scene of soft romance Leading to an eternal bliss? Or would you look at it and laugh? Should I paint things as we truly feel, Take an emotive photograph That tries to show what is real... Sign in to see full entry.

Cat
Silent sneaking, Shadowed slinking Wrecking,rending, Trampling flat; Destruction wreaking, Leaving stinking And offending: Flowers ruined by the cat. Sign in to see full entry.

Words To A Lady
In the moment when the clouds form, When the winds begin to scream and whine And build into a fierce storm Know that it will turn out fine. In the breath before the battle Ahead of the mournful knell, When you hear that final rattle Know that all will be well. You can overcome each trial; You have... Sign in to see full entry.

Weather
Moist breathed Spring lounged to the South West, A sensual slattern simmering with desire Panting for new growth, the inevitable conquest That has everything around her reaching wider and higher. A fresh faced wind wandered from the North East, Clear and cool, not expecting Spring's heat, From... Sign in to see full entry.

The Distracted
He was pensive in paradise, Heaven's charms could not claim The mind or heart or eyes, They could not distract or tame The passions that blazed and burned In the distractions of his face And heaven's distractions were spurned For a memory of an embrace. Oblivious to the surrounding bliss He was lost... Sign in to see full entry.
