perfect winters day
We walk to the markets
via the back roads
you hold my hand
winter chilled fingers
entwined with mine
and I lean my head
against your shoulder
wishing I could hold onto
this perfect winter day
warm sun on our faces
cool wind pushing us together
The markets hum with people
and music
we pass artisan market stalls
with wares we can't afford
you wonder how these small businesses
make any money
and don't envy their early morning
winter set ups
I look at them and imagine it's me ...
via the back roads

Nip and Tuck
He was waiting for her
in the apartment,
smart suited enough
to know about property.
The rain hadn't stopped,
Claire burst through the door
as colourful as her language.
Jesus Christ I'm soaked.
This friggin dump better be worth it.
Oh wow, she forgot the rain
forgot her wet clothes.
Its fabulous, can we take it?
I haven't shown you the rest
of the place yet, he laughed.
Reaching for a bottle of champagne
and two glasses, he followed her into the bedroom.
A toast to our meeting place.
Oh you are...
in the apartment,
smart suited enough
to know about property.
The rain hadn't stopped,
Claire burst through the door
as colourful as her language.
Jesus Christ I'm soaked.
This friggin dump better be worth it.
Oh wow, she forgot the rain
forgot her wet clothes.

of the place yet, he laughed.

Oh Stratojet, sweet Stratojet,
How marvelously high you are!
How can your pilots never fret
About being shot down by a star?
It seems they're always shooting by,
At least astronomically speaking,
And so I know I will not fly
As long as they are streaking!
I know statistics tell us that,
Oh, I don't know how much to one,
That planes won't be struck by astro scat
Or lose their feathers in the sun...
Like poor Icarus and all his wax
Whenever happenstance attacks!
But why would I take such a chance
When Earth provides the...

Dark Dreaming
powerless to resist
unable to desist
lines flow bold
on these pages I hold
words of dark dreaming
so innocent seeming
yet written in blood
now trapped in a flood
these my phantasies
dark alchemies
speaking blasphemies
that opens a door
for the next lines of prose
unwillingly composed
the spell now complete
with lines of deceit
the price my soul
has always been the goal
to write in rhythm and rhyme
with these my words
reality blurs
to live my phantasies
and dream...

The Weeping House
I went up with the cello,
steering the instrument around the staircase,
to my bedroom on the first floor.
I had the largest room in the house,
overlooking fields and orchards.
It had a mattress against the far wall in place of a bed,
a writing desk with ink stains and a scratched surface,
a chair with loose legs,
an old-fashioned chest of drawers in the corner.
The curtains matched the carpet in colour.
A shelf that…
No,
I mustn’t remember the grey-white building that had stood secluded off a country lane.

Monophobia
Teddy bears and toys
Paper sack to dull the noise
Feeling like a mannequin
Posed still in the void
In the wilds of scampish ghosts
In the gaze of deepest cold
I'm all alone, all alone
Tick-tick rings the clock
Where am I now-I've forgot
Hissing like a TV screen
Frantic and distraught
In pale streets of lullabies
In tall buildings plagiarized
I'm all alone, all alone
In labyrinths strangely schemed
In the space of fractured dreams
I found you.
Rocking chairs and suits ...
Paper sack to dull the noise
Feeling like a mannequin
Posed still in the void
In the wilds of scampish ghosts
In the gaze of deepest cold
I'm all alone, all alone
Tick-tick rings the clock
Where am I now-I've forgot
Hissing like a TV screen
Frantic and distraught
In pale streets of lullabies
In tall buildings plagiarized
I'm all alone, all alone
In labyrinths strangely schemed
In the space of fractured dreams
I found you.

Dear DUP
I just wanted to say thank you for your amazing support and comments on my work since I joined the DUP
Today I'm going into hospital for a few days and won't be able to post my customary Two poems. I didn't want people to think I'd left and will return soon
Thank you once again and see you all in a few days
Love and light
RON XX

Amazing salvage
The whole episode of the Costa Concordia
Was tragic.
And the captain of that ship was a shame
Good thing he landed in jail.
But fascinating to watch
Was the salvage operation.
A firm took on the project
After so many others said
No thanks.
What a superb tour de force that was.
Was tragic.

But fascinating to watch
