POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
As a lover of life and music I found myself jotting down poems and was asked once what kind of poems I write which was always erotic and non-erotic but upon much thought I now just say romantic poems as romance isn't always about chocolate and flowers.

The Hollow
Been near a month I reckon” spoke Mrs. Battersby
Holding her hat as she steered her cart
“Troops are advancing on the front” I heard on the wireless spoke Mr. Harrisburg
The wind let out a distant cry
A paper blew past down the street
Children were heard around the corner
It had been a few days since the air raid siren wailed her banshee scream
Strange thing, no rain but lightening
Moving cloud to cloud like a Jacob's ladder
A far off thunder
A sinister crack
Signs foretold of the Devil
Townsfolk murmured
“Run along...
Holding her hat as she steered her cart
“Troops are advancing on the front” I heard on the wireless spoke Mr. Harrisburg
The wind let out a distant cry
A paper blew past down the street
Children were heard around the corner
It had been a few days since the air raid siren wailed her banshee scream
Strange thing, no rain but lightening
Moving cloud to cloud like a Jacob's ladder
A far off thunder
A sinister crack
Signs foretold of the Devil
Townsfolk murmured
“Run along...

Gone
The chain grows heavy
Emasculated against…
The coming dawn
The coming day
The coming future
An end, a stone that no longer rolls
Stagnant, no ripples, no more
Eyes growing dim
Scared to move
A feeling lost, a touch gone
The dark closes in, around
No pennies for the ferryman
Wrapping the blanket tight
To fight off the cold
The alone
The tears that no longer flow
Emotion no longer in motion
Emotion no longer felt
In these arms
In his thoughts
A life over
Gone
Emasculated against…
The coming dawn
The coming day
The coming future
An end, a stone that no longer rolls
Stagnant, no ripples, no more
Eyes growing dim
Scared to move
A feeling lost, a touch gone
The dark closes in, around
No pennies for the ferryman
Wrapping the blanket tight
To fight off the cold
The alone
The tears that no longer flow
Emotion no longer in motion
Emotion no longer felt
In these arms
In his thoughts
A life over
Gone

When Beautiful Walked Into His Life
Like a dark cloud the sun had broke thru
Grey had become colour
Colours splashed on the canvas
Her eyes were the first he had seen
A vision of beautiful
A vision of a dream
His heart started to smile
Taking a first breath of what seemed like forever
Life had seeped back to his bones
Listening to her voice a beautiful symphony
Enchanted, a slipper had found
Free from the darkness
Free from the alone
The sun always shone now that...
Beautiful had now walked...
Grey had become colour
Colours splashed on the canvas
Her eyes were the first he had seen
A vision of beautiful
A vision of a dream
His heart started to smile
Taking a first breath of what seemed like forever
Life had seeped back to his bones
Listening to her voice a beautiful symphony
Enchanted, a slipper had found
Free from the darkness
Free from the alone
The sun always shone now that...
Beautiful had now walked...

Metropolitan Girl
The nights skyline
The sound of the city, the clubs
People walking, talking
A man on a bicycle goes riding by
Alive, the pulse of the city
Vibrant the heart dances to the rhythm
The aroma of a cosmopolitan city
The neon lights, the neon sounds
She walks, her long brunette hair hanging down
A dark green dress mixes with the white leather of her jacket
The heels of her boots highlight her profile
A feminine beauty, an actress amongst the crowds
The city lights glow for her, around her
A model, a vision of...
The sound of the city, the clubs
People walking, talking
A man on a bicycle goes riding by
Alive, the pulse of the city
Vibrant the heart dances to the rhythm
The aroma of a cosmopolitan city
The neon lights, the neon sounds
She walks, her long brunette hair hanging down
A dark green dress mixes with the white leather of her jacket
The heels of her boots highlight her profile
A feminine beauty, an actress amongst the crowds
The city lights glow for her, around her
A model, a vision of...

Lost To You
Sun tried to break through;
Forever in a twilight daze covered in mist as clouds,
billowed across the grey of the sky
Sails torn from a fierce storm in the gloom of the crests,
of a dark sea
A bell sounded from a distance far removed
Lost, lost, an echo of a beating heart
Memory of your eyes haunt this sleep
Arms wrap 'round to warm from the shivers of the cold...night
A knock at the door of this thick covered fog
This soul reaches for, a happiness that might bring, thru a door
Which will open, to see, your eyes ...
Forever in a twilight daze covered in mist as clouds,
billowed across the grey of the sky
Sails torn from a fierce storm in the gloom of the crests,
of a dark sea
A bell sounded from a distance far removed
Lost, lost, an echo of a beating heart
Memory of your eyes haunt this sleep
Arms wrap 'round to warm from the shivers of the cold...night
A knock at the door of this thick covered fog
This soul reaches for, a happiness that might bring, thru a door
Which will open, to see, your eyes ...

Lady Jane
Lady Jane married young
A man of means but devoid of love
A few years passed she found
Living all alone is not a life
One day as her husband went off to work
She packed a bag and left for America to start a new
A man of means but devoid of love
A few years passed she found
Living all alone is not a life
One day as her husband went off to work
She packed a bag and left for America to start a new

Lost but how?, where?
Waking up
Looking around
Where am I?
Where did I go?
Place looks familiar
Familiar but different somehow
Everyone looks the same
Feeling like strangers somehow
Line is disconnected and no way to call home
Looking around
Where am I?
Where did I go?
Place looks familiar
Familiar but different somehow
Everyone looks the same
Feeling like strangers somehow
Line is disconnected and no way to call home
