POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I have been writing poetry for about 15 years. Most of my poems express my inner feelings and emotions, and are an intimate baring of my soul, although I write some of a more humourous nature.

Unexpected Joy
The last of the winter light had leached from the sky,
Seven pm on the shortest day of the year;
Hurrying through bustling crowds of late night shoppers,
She goes, homeward bound, worried frown creasing her brow
A stray lock of hair escapes from her woolly hat,
Carrier bag with parcels of scarlet and gold,
Clutched to her chest, last minute presents
For harassed mother, and dad, recently retired,
Time on his hands, and unsure how to fill the time,
Elder brother and his wife, and infant baby,
Sister due to go to uni in the autumn,
Head full of exams...

Separated for a moment
My love and I will never truly be parted in this life
For our love is true, and too secure ever to be shaken
By the caprice of storms and tempests that toss us to and fro.
Even though there will be many more times of pain and sorrow,
Casting a doleful shadow across the landscape of our joy,
The sun will eventually return, with its promise of life,
And delicate shoots of happiness will shyly force their way
Through the dead litter of our former lives, resplendent with love.
But for a short time we have agreed to live separate lives,
Each of us to pursue and...

Love's Sweet Mystery
Eyes dancing bright with the pure fire of inner light,
We meet and combine in our journey to the stars,
In the soft velvety darkness of the long night,
And unite in exquisite sweet togetherness.
Limbs and bodies dancing in intricate patterns,
We ride upon crashing waves of divine rapture,
In the ineffable joy of mutual passion,
And play among the pastures of a bright new world.
Fingers dancing and weaving their entrancing spell,
We make love in exquisite sweet carelessness
In the soft embrace of bodies nightly mated,
And penetrate the...

And play among the pastures of a bright new world.

Harmonies of Love
Dearest heart, have two lovers ever known such wondrous joys
As those with which our marriage bed has been so often blessed,
When words of love and passion in the dark night whispering,
The lonely hours between bedtime and dawn we have beguiled.
As together we rise to heights of pleasure yet unknown.
You body is an instrument upon which I summon
Dark music, new melodies of sweet seductive power,
Binding your flesh to mine with strange and thrilling potency,
Wild exotic harmonies that fill your enraptured mind,
Until every fibre of your soul vibrates in...

My Secret Love
My secret love, companion of my nights,
With her beside me, I forget all cares
For in her arms I know such sweet delights,
And joy profound that she so gladly shares
Her life with mine, two hearts that beat as one,
Forever bound by ties so strong and pure,
True love more constant than the noonday sun,
That 'gainst all odds it will for aye endure.
Whate’er life holds, she is my truest friend,
Through darkest storms, a beacon shining bright,
The steadfast rock on which I can depend.
For my part I would be her shining knight,
Committed to...

Queen of my heart
My dearest one, I love you more than any words can express,
And only when we are together can I be fully whole.
My sad heart aches for you in your distress and unhappiness.
For anything that casts a shadow over your precious soul,
Stealing away all the enjoyment and delight from your life,
Makes me unhappy too, for you are the chief source of my joy,
And I bless that day when you consented to become my wife.
I try with all my might to bring you that peace naught can alloy,
But in my human frailty, I often fail to say the things,
That you most need to hear,...
And only when we are together can I be fully whole.

None other love
There is no other love, my love, that could to you compare,
Such is your beauty beyond price, so delicate and rare.
For you are of women nonpareil, your looks so sweet and fair
That I would gladly give my all, and worldly wealth forswear
To gaze once more upon your face, and stroke your silken hair.
I have travelled far and wide, crossed many a storm tossed sea,
And sojourned long in foreign lands, yet never once did see
A lady with such princely grace as I have found in thee.
And yet most wonderful and strange, oh could it really be
Of all men...

The Coming of Spring

Every night I die a little death
Every night I die a little death in your arms,
A kind death, such welcome ecstasy, joy unbound,
Finding heaven once more, transported by your charms,
Your sweet breasts a pillow for my head, soft and round,
As between your thighs I lose myself in sweet bliss,
Our probing tongues entwined and dancing in delight,
And lips entranced by every passionate kiss,
Each shared breath carrying us closer to the height,
Speaking the shared message of our urgent desire,
More eloquent far than those whispered words of love,
Sweet and tender utterances that light a...

I Remember
Lying here in the inky dark,
In the warm embrace of the night,
My mind moves, and I remember,
Other nights like this, back home, with you.
But I am far away, alone,
Beneath an unfamiliar moon,
And foreign stars, unknown patterns
Shining down on my loneliness.
You begged not to come, and leave you,
Though it was just for a brief space,
Soon to return to your dear side.
It was my job, I said, to go,
One I could not in truth, refuse.
Even your tears could not change that,
However hard it was for me,
Though doubly hard for you, my...

Bewitched & Beguiled
The world revolves my angel, and once more
The time is coming when the days grow short,
When happy thoughts of summer flee away,
And all around is desolate and bare.
Come fly with me to some exotic shore,
Where bathed in golden light, we two can sport,
Dancing naked on the strand all the day,
And through the night mount high into the air.
O cruel lady, tell me what I've done,
What crime that you should treat me so unkind,
Why taunt me with your talk of sun and moon,
And how you danced together through the night.
I watch you from afar, while...
The time is coming when the days grow short,

And through the night mount high into the air.
