Robert
A son I thought I would never have
A son I thought would never be
A son to watch grow and achieve his dreams
A son to be beyond proud of
A son to love unconditionally, through the good times and the difficult times
A son to give advice to when needed, and listen when only a listening ear is needed
A son to believe in when he doesn't believe in himself
A son to show how I see him through my eyes and not through his thoughts
A son the greatest gift of all
A son I thought would never be
A son to watch grow and achieve his dreams
A son to be beyond proud of
A son to love unconditionally, through the good times and the difficult times
A son to give advice to when needed, and listen when only a listening ear is needed
A son to believe in when he doesn't believe in himself
A son to show how I see him through my eyes and not through his thoughts
A son the greatest gift of all

Pulling Teeth
This whole back and forth routine
Is really getting old
Each time I summon your committee
I get persecuted a billion-fold
I’m the poet
You’re the talent
You’re the pen
I’m the valiant
You are the basin
Where my talent is drawn
Over-running with poetry
Dribbling on a canvas from dusk till dawn
Inspiration upholds your wings
Dedication brings out your rings
Many times you dashed to the rescue
If only to be heard
You clothed my closed mind
And fed it until it stirred
You are...

Night terrors
Lets step over the line into the unknown
Lets take that leap of faith
The only way to learn to trust, is to trust
I hear a voice saying 'you can do it'
I wake and reach for the hand of my beloved
I am stood on the edge of that unknown cliff
I feel the hand of my loving my wife
All is well in our world my love, all is now well
Lets take that leap of faith
The only way to learn to trust, is to trust
I hear a voice saying 'you can do it'
I wake and reach for the hand of my beloved
I am stood on the edge of that unknown cliff
I feel the hand of my loving my wife
All is well in our world my love, all is now well

A childhood in Portsmouth
Driving through the streets of Portsmouth
Each stop a new memory of the past
Growing up in a vast expanse of fun to explore and devour
Sea front to cycle along, the greenest grass to run and play
Schools, shops, houses, memories, memories and so much more
Sat on the sea front, looking out at the wild exciting sea
A sea that is so alive
Today we are alive
Today we are living
Memories…

Conflict...
Life is precious, they say
God given, the gift of life, you only have one
Then why oh why are they taking life so freely, so recklessly, so selfishly?
I live one day at a time, thats my choice and not your suggestion
Bombs are dropping, explosives exploding
Fear is fuelling fear, people fleeing with nowhere to flee
Parents unable to give their children the promise of peace and freedom
What a sorry way to live
Tragedy is our closest friend, our closet enemy
Maybe this is the end of all endings
All we have is hope, hope for peace and...

COVID
As if it had gone away
I knew this was never to be
I have a gut feeling that guides me well
it has served me well for many years, without faltering
My guiding light, above and beyond
My gut was right, here comes Covid knocking on the door
This time a bigger, more powerful, deadly demon
Is survival a reality?
Something we can hope for?
Only time will tell, so hold on tight...

The effect of a Gentle Stroke- Taste of Wine
I sat still with the idea to listen
To what life has to bring
while the voice within spoke
About those things
that last like
a stroke
The tenderness within evoked
A fountain of limitless interaction
The inclination of those verbal encounter
Of him and her, intellectual cords,
In oblivious and senseless contractions
bore rumors; the intentions.
Transformed the character into acts of constellation
Engraved scenes written on heaven’s blanket,
The sound of climax and fragrance of Angel’s cloth,
The eyes of...

On The Run
Excuse me, dear reader
Have you seen this perpetrator?
He was last spotted in an alphabet speeder
On his way to your reading applicator
He’s the head of the letter gang
His bodyguards are A-Z
He stole my poem and now must hang
Nobody rips off team Napo and me
It is very urgent this perp is found
I only have 7 hrs left
Till a strike hits the ground
And he gets away with theft
Put yourself in my shoes
You must write one piece a day
In this competition, you will lose
If your poems go astray
So please do what I ask ...

Puzzles In The Rain
I awoke one morning
The rain was pelting
Dogs were yelping
My mood was mourning
Everything felt fictional
The droplets scratched away
at my windows
The wind barked and howled
Like guard dogs chasing a thief
Then, tap, tap, rustle of a leaf
Subsided and growled
Splashes of traffic
Outline the sidewalks like pool boys
Birds of prey pursue their meals like toys
The coffee pot was hot
The contents were ice cold
The rain poured nonstop
Escaped prisoners no longer controlled ...

A day with my love
Time out with my love
Sitting in the car, being next to you
Talking, laughing, just being
Walking through the shops
A passing glance, a smile, a sense of belonging
Being one part of a pair
Part of a perfect pair
Part of a perfect match
The woman I didn't know existed
The woman I thought I would never find
And when I first found her, she was part of another pair
A far from perfect pair, but a pair
So far out of my reach, but so very close to my heart
How could we ever be?
Fate stepped in and the stars aligned

SLUMBER OF THE MOON
Darkness, don't loose your light;
I CANNOT.
Here comes yellow, struggling against the fog.
Time, slow down;
I CANNOT.
The sun is waking up.
Full, am I?
FOOL YOU ARE!
Setting behind the clouds.
I CANNOT.
Here comes yellow, struggling against the fog.
Time, slow down;
I CANNOT.
The sun is waking up.
Full, am I?
FOOL YOU ARE!
Setting behind the clouds.

Unexpected
The arctic motion’s
exposure been uncovered by
kryptonite’s congeniality,
delightful crimson’s leads
banned by solar moon’s infidelity,
As messengers spectate waves of fibbers,
lyrical pattern bestowed upon shadows...
of those,
Horrified by meaning of
Trials,
Mind set’s delicacy
Strained ,
impeccably,
Failed to decipher,
purposes,
As masters plot masterpieces,
Instinctual,
Anticipated meditation
schemes
against elementals,
Contextual,
The motions of arctic
