Love

Love Minus One.

I never anticipated love was intended to result as it does.
A long multiplication full of complications.
I must have seen it through rose coloured glasses as a child.
Yet then again,maybe not.

Siren

I am a mirage
born into a cradle
of opium dreams.
At night you sit
in your concave room,
basking in the violet
artificial glow

Funny, Regret…

Always around, haunting, teasing.

First Kiss

Without a summer breeze
To be dancing in the droplets
Of Nectar sweet as a honey bee
Subtle light and free

The Loveless

In my room
of books.
Warm radio noise.
Yorkshire tea.

Across the landing.
The bath runs.
She’ll enter it soon,
and the soapsuds will sigh.

From this chair.
October drizzle presses,


The greyer the storm light folds

A soft temperance smile brakes
From the bars of the raging sea;
Where wave on salt corrosive wave
Once purged loves sweetest melody.

But age and faith are truer friends


Icarus

I was a moth with pale wings
patterned with coffee rings,
thinking that one flutter
could make your heart
skip a beat.

Monday Sonnet: Birds

Poe’s raven, from a tree, caws ‘Nevermore,’
While both the swans of Baudelaire and Yeats
Are fighting to be monarchs of the lakes;
Plus, Coleridge’s gull is seen to soar.


 Naked

Naked makes it simple.
In the darkness, you see.

Your love is like a pinnacle

Your love is like a pinnacle
No man could ever climb
But your heart belongs with mine
Flowing deeper all the time;

Deeper than the rivers
Running home to the sea
Deeper than an apple core


Something must be done

Give me a pen and I will write you a poem
A poem of peace and love of life.

Give me a guitar and I will sing you a song
A song sung straight from the caverns of my heart.


Wishful thinking

Smiled
What you did the first time I saw you
But at your friend
Not at me
I wish it was me
Laughed
What you did when I tripped
But at me
Not at your friend
I wish I was someone else


Too long

Long,long,long time
Since I saw you last
Long,long,long time
Since I knew what to think
I'm craving for you
Pining for you.
Long,long,long time
Since my thirst was quenched by your eyes


Then He Remembers

Lost love


To Be Yours

you speak to me as though im yours
yet that is just not true
just for you to open the doors
so i can be with you
yet for us to speak as we do
being friends as we are


Dream Girl

face so beautiful to the eyes
eyes shine like rays of heaven
smile as easing as a sunrise
hair so smooth with every strand

body so peaceful and pure
moving with such grace


That Feeling

happy as a summer's day
feel like this in every way
feelings flowing like a sparkling stream
almost like your in a dream
spirts as high as a moutain's peek
there is nothing else you seek


You

sitting all alone
no one here
filled again
with lots of fear

I think of you
the fear is gone
to be with you
that’s what I long

to see your happy face
smiling at me
I think to myself


Heartbrake

can you feel my heartbreak
that I have right now
can you hear my heartbreak
I don’t know how

heartbreak I have known
always and forever I will
I love you are the words


Brake Up

every dark and lonely night the moon I knew
all I could think about that was you

‘casue when I’d lay awake in my bed all those nights
and thought about all our nasty fights
