Waking

The gentle blanket of tender sleep Is shredded by a raucous beep Screaming "arise, arise awake, Time to get up, for heaven's sake, There is no time to lose!" I hit snooze. Ten minutes on, it screams again, Like a reversing bus in pain, Its anguishes wailing's designed, it seems, To splinter the... Sign in to see full entry.

Clock Beats

The clock ticks: A metronome, a heart beat That measures the hours Until you are in my arms again. The clock ticks, Weighing the moments 'til we meet, Until the time is ours Counting down to that delicious when? My heart ticks, the clock beats Trying to use the empty time To make our happiness...

Putting The Pieces

I'm putting the pieces together To make something unusual for you So intent that I don't wonder whether It's something you'd want me to do, I carefully construct a statue For you to marvel and see With some expectation that you Will recognise you and me. I'm putting the pieces together To make... Sign in to see full entry.

Love Stream

Love is an unending stream, It is a journey, a road We take to places That we have never been Rather than some static hall, Some ideal or dream Where time has slowed And nobody embraces Change or lets growth begin To alter things at all. Love moves and flows Over, under and around Obstacles in its... Sign in to see full entry.

The Forest

Trees burn in the distance, An inferno of bright yellow and red That blazes back at the autumnal sky Without damaging a single tree. Possessing a morbid romance, The forest calls and I am led To watch the trappings of soft summer lie Dead and withered in dell and lee, Spent in one last glorious... Sign in to see full entry.

Shopping

I am a leaf, helpless in a vast river of humanity, Carried unwilling, unable to escape or stop By a single-minded force akin to mass insanity As hordes of bargain hunters surge from shop to shop. I yearn for a tree, for a sight of sea and sky As I am carried by the current from market to mall... Sign in to see full entry.

A Love Song

I was listening to a love song So of course I thought of you And smiled as if the spring was here. For just a moment you weren't gone And all of my dreams were true But as the music stops you disappear As if you had never been Yet my smile remains For a little while: I felt such joy to have seen You...

At The Edge

I stand at the end of my zone And watch discomfort's serpents writhe In the twilight of my discontent Wondering what I shall choose. Cruel frosts set snares for me alone That I must pay a bitter tithe Of hope and heart and good intent And yet manage to not lose Myself in this friendless place, I... Sign in to see full entry.

What A Day

What a morning! What a day For miracles and adventure, A day to escape, to run away From the mundane and find a cure For the Autumn blues. What a day to shyly seek The ardent manse of desire A day to herald love and speak As passion's crier, A day to choose To make me more than I was A day to learn,... Sign in to see full entry.

The Carnival Of Words

Syllables are standing to attention, Ready for their big parade Too many sounds to mention From the silliest to the most staid March to a rhythm in ordered lines Baring imagery and sweet intent, Metaphors and rhymes To tenderly augment This carnival of words. Syllables are standing to attention,... Sign in to see full entry.
