POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Just enjoying life's journey.............
These lives of ours
In these lives of ours
Here we lie again
Just as our first time
Unexpected romp
Passionate affair
Call it what you will
We've become good friends
In these lives of ours
and star-crossed lovers
Wrong time and wrong place
Should have met years past
Often heard, noted
Far from becoming
Routine, habitual
In these lives of ours
Romance has flourished
Spectacularly
Spontaneously
Joined at the hip? No
Busy lives we lead
Partners and children
In these lives of ours ...
Here we lie again
Just as our first time
Unexpected romp
Passionate affair
Call it what you will
We've become good friends
In these lives of ours
and star-crossed lovers
Wrong time and wrong place
Should have met years past
Often heard, noted
Far from becoming
Routine, habitual
In these lives of ours
Romance has flourished
Spectacularly
Spontaneously
Joined at the hip? No
Busy lives we lead
Partners and children
In these lives of ours ...

Temptation
Watching you
Wanting
Talking together
Animatedly
Kissing hungrily
Exploring
Caressing gently
Delicately
Touching bodies
Heavenly
Sliding inside
Deliciously
Riding high
Breathlessly
Faster now
Frenziedly
Orgasm reached
Passionately
Cuddled together
Lovingly
Wanting
Talking together
Animatedly
Kissing hungrily

Lost
When I was a child
You appeared strong
In control
A force of nature
Central to my world
As a young man
Starting out
We became
Disconnected
Separated
The birth of my child
Brought approbation
His progress in life
Polite interest
Not jubilation
Miles apart
Sporadic calls
Fewer visits
Birthday wishes
Christmas cards
Your grandson has
Flown the nest
Grade A student
The best of the best
A military man
You are now older
Frail and alone ...

Night Chill
intense biting cold
leaving me shivering
maniacal winds
rattle the panes
stealing my sleep
I stare over a
white wilderness
a bare and empty
linen landscape
devoid of you
insidious loneliness
creeps uninvited
when you're not here
your head on my shoulder
cradled in my arms
leaving me shivering
maniacal winds
rattle the panes
stealing my sleep
I stare over a
white wilderness
a bare and empty
linen landscape
devoid of you
insidious loneliness
creeps uninvited
when you're not here
your head on my shoulder
cradled in my arms

Dreaming
I dreamt about you
again last night
how you felt
Cradled in my arms
snug and warm
The way you looked
Raven hair cascaded
across my pillow
pale blue eyes
alert and watchful
I dream about you
my senses revived
by our conversations
of art and poetry
lusting and loving
needs satisfying
this time so short
spent together
intense yet fulfilling
both body and soul
again last night
how you felt
Cradled in my arms
snug and warm
The way you looked
Raven hair cascaded
across my pillow
pale blue eyes
alert and watchful
I dream about you

of art and poetry

Good, Bad or Indifferent. Tell me!
Love my writing?
Hate those inks?
So exciting!
That one stinks!
All that tack
Gets you nodding?
Needs feedback
Get commenting!
So don't whine
Some just don't need
Just a line
To sow a seed.
Of some hope
On the right track
Slippery slope
Needs dragging back
Either way
Feed your input
Good, Bad or OK
Helps my output.

Feline
I prowl, unseen, in plain view through the city landscape.
No one even glances in my direction, I am invisible.
I see and hear each sound; everything, anything, but I am focusing
on my next victim. I freeze, catching a scent, then begin
to stalk, carefully, silently gliding imperceptibly closer
to my unwary prey. Indistinguishable from a crowd of other
females, I am a huntress and I am a natural born assassin
I hunt to kill and doing so brings me great pleasure.
Oh! Did I forget to explain? My target, or next meal if you prefer,
is you. You...

Welcome to Deep Underground
Now you've joined Deep Underground
and had a chance to look around
it's time for you to put pen to good use
no prevarication, no lame excuse
So clear your mind of domestic worry
switch the phone off, no need for sorry
make yourself comfy ready to start
face a mirror to focus on your art
Make a plan and put it in ink
write lists of words and find the link
to tell your story or a rhyme
be it ever so modern or older than time
Tragic, funny, sad, observing or erotic
the choice is yours so pick your...

The Kiss
The eyes; it's the eyes that draw me near. Wide open, luminous, cat-like
within a flawless, translucent face. Upturned towards me with pale pink lips
slightly parted with small, neat, white teeth like celestial guardians of a temple.
I pause to drink in a vision of lustrous plumes of hair, porcelain fine cheekbones
with a dainty nose sitting front and centre. I inhale a heady mixture of perfume
and warm, floral scented skin. Our heads touch; we are cheek to cheek, my jaw delicately brushes your silken skin and then you move, placing us nose to nose
implacable,...
