Autumnal Musing

In the water colour mornings of September When April's acrylics seem so long ago, I sit by my muted window and remember That each season's needed if I am to grow. Even though I know the grey is needed I can't help but long for your sunshine And the blooming of a love that has receded When the... Sign in to see full entry.

How the News Services Work

In the jungle there lives a monkey Who can't tell a tiger from a tree And howls his warnings, loud and clear, When there is nothing there to fear, Causing panic unnecessarily. In a flash the other monkeys flee, Running from something they can't see They pass on warnings of dire harm Inspired by the... Sign in to see full entry.

Autumn

A soft breath of Autumn wilts the daisy, Withers the buttercup and the rose And, of green canopies, makes crazy Ceilings of red and bronze where nothing grows And everything curls and fades and dies. The low moan of autumn warns the wild things, The swift and swallow both prepare to migrate And in... Sign in to see full entry.

We'll Walk Together

We'll walk together, she and I, When the ambered sun slips out of sight And shy heavens blush at rakish stars To bathe concrete in a romantic glow, When day's shout gives way to evening's sigh And tenderness replaces might To make the moment absolutely ours, A magic only we can know, Then we'll walk...

Singing In My Sleep

Sometimes I sing in my sleep, A concert of adoring psalms And ballads improvised In the concerts of my dreams Where tenderly I keep You in the soft theatre of my arms. I sing, unrehearsed and unrevised, My most honest, open themes My songs of love, of you and me Ballads of what I dream will be. Sign in to see full entry.

The Boulder

I am the boulder on the shore I stand against time and the sea, Against wind and the scouring sand, Unflinching in my determined stance. I have few doubts and more, My course is set and I am free To contemplate and understand The vagaries of time and tide and chance With nothing more desperate to do... Sign in to see full entry.

Rainbows

I'm chasing rainbows, Trying to reach the fabled end Where all the rewards are, But every time, as I get near It, again, goes Further away. I extend Hand and heart but it stays far Beyond reach and I sometimes fear That as I focus on this unending chase I'll lose its reason in the fury of the chase. Sign in to see full entry.

The Telegraph

I am a telegraph Offering updates Tersely wired To eager ears. Sleep in arrears, I am too rushed and tired To celebrate, To chat and laugh So I send what little messages I can And hope that you will understand. Sign in to see full entry.

Do You Remember?

Do you remember? Do you recall The tender Spring's delicate days When you and I would wander, free From the responsibilities that bind Us to uncherished fate? Do you remember when we would sprawl, Careless in each other's arms and say Anything we feel; when together we Would explore ourselves and... Sign in to see full entry.

Change

As the months pass you change Becoming less and more Than I so wistfully recall But, as you met new days and grew, Have you become someone strange, So different from what you were before That I barely recognise you at all? When I am, again, with you Will I find the woman that is in my heart... Sign in to see full entry.
