Poet Introduction
I don't think I'm qualified to consider myself a poet... I just love words. So many possibilities.

Cattle
Our eyes met as we passed at the gate,
Led was she to the house, and to the field was I, to wait for weeks and months on end.
Taste not her elixir, nor excitement of love verboten, as my heart beat faster under hoof.
And later still, as frost descended, l lay there resting, chilled, amongst the icy blades, no measure of my despair.
I await the house and know she'll not be there. Inane end; an end of light of days.

(She) can keep on walking 'til the day I die
I was a strike, you were a match,
I was just Mike, you were a catch.
I was a plaything, you used me (if just for a while),
I was working class, you were just vile.
I was infatuated, you were overrated,
I dated you - you quietly berated,
I welcomed, your ego overinflated.
I saw the best, you saw a test,
I ate my words, you weren't the best.
I came to your house, you opened the door,
I gave you everything, you expected more.
I was dedicated, you were fabricated,
I Freudian slipped, you decimated.
I...

...
Lead by example, that much was true,
Do as you say, not as you do,
But there's no evidence of what you've done,
Only the shadow of who you've become.
Dwell no more over grief-stricken tears spilt,
Never an ounce of remorse or guilt,
But when all you've got is what you've said and done,
A room full of nothingness - everything's gone.
Divine intervention won't save us now,
If it could be undone, I wouldn't know how,
Your children now grown and grandchildren unknown,
Skin of my teeth as my heart turns to stone.

Damping down
He's waking up,
What's going down?
Still half cut - sorrows drowned.
Cardboard coaster,
He'll make it better,
Soon fit for nothing, make it bitter.
Units later, can take no more,
01:35 - falling through the door,
Laying on the couch,
Vomit on the floor.
Getting up, damping down,
Oblivious to sound, makeshift polythene ground,
Minus cushions on the couch,
Friends disallowed,
Vertical lines etched in my brow.
Woken up, not coming round,
Still half cut - not sorry somehow,
Not a single word...

Already forgotten
His time is now,
Been and gone,
I'll give him that,
It's all he has,
His family (g)one,
Maybe memories remain,
Inaccessible and never reclaimed,
Not his - in time unknown,
Forget me not,
Someone to hold on to,
Somthing to hang on to,
Always afraid,
Mislaid?
Forget me not
Forget who?
In a timely undignified fashion - Who are you?

A chain of events
You stood there confident, wrapped in silk and lace,
My jaw must've dropped as my pulse began to race.
Like fictitious images I'd seen on hard to reach shelves,
Or as the history and worn out keys of my laptop do tell.
Stimulated, and excited I battled with wills,
To simply tear of silken fabric for my own shallow thrills.
Admittedly, I still can't believe my luck,
I was so eager to taste you, to tease you; to fuck.
I always considered myself to have great discipline,
An older me would have simply given in.
So as ticks tocked,...

Just me, naked flesh, flawed and indiscreet,
Desperate to see you, to feel you and hold you close to me,
From the aching I am granted temporary reprieve,
For in 50 minutes your words you said on screen,
Will arrive at The Bails just for me,
Promise of coffee or tea,
Subtle undertones from each other as we teased,
Fantasies of beads wet beneath the sheets,
Distracted from my thoughts of you while the floors I sweep,
As you did to me as you swept me off my feet,
The buzzing of the doorbell precedes a trail of strewn clothes as our bodies finally meet...

Dare to dream
A poem entitled "dare to dream".... for Jenny :)
As I dreamt about your beautiful, deep brown eyes, I suddenly came to realise,
That from the year 2011, I received a precious gift from Heaven,
It's true, darling, when you walked into my world, I felt my heart begin to unfurl,
So I let myself go and gave myself to you, I am delighted that I've finally found a love so true,
You've moved me more than you could ever know, where you've been all my life I do not yet know,
And though I've only known you for a very short while, I carry you around with a constant...

Mine
Threads of silk, strong yet delicate,
Flutter at your will as time stands still and seconds wait,
An angel is missing from Heaven's gate.
Strangers' heads turn in anticipation, faces bright with fascination,
The thought that you're mine gives a wonderful sensation.
Sunlight is merely gray compared with your light,
Reflected against your eyes so beautifully bright.
Against the backdrop of your face my body delights,
As your hair tickles my cheek and I long for the night,
Or for the second I can feel your touch and send me to heights.
Your hair...
Flutter at your will as time stands still and seconds wait,
An angel is missing from Heaven's gate.
Strangers' heads turn in anticipation, faces bright with fascination,
The thought that you're mine gives a wonderful sensation.
Sunlight is merely gray compared with your light,
Reflected against your eyes so beautifully bright.
Against the backdrop of your face my body delights,
As your hair tickles my cheek and I long for the night,
Or for the second I can feel your touch and send me to heights.

Goosebumps
Rubbing, caressing tender flesh, gooses bumping, nipples sucking, lips locking, soaking wet.
Heavy breathing, fingers teasing, nerves quaking, body shaking, member hard - anticipating.
Inhibition waining, love making, outlines made in lights fading.
Into me, inside you, you're on my mind, I'm into you.
Heavy breathing, fingers teasing, nerves quaking, body shaking, member hard - anticipating.
Inhibition waining, love making, outlines made in lights fading.
Into me, inside you, you're on my mind, I'm into you.

A taste of pleasure
Mince pies, your perfect thighs, fingers sliding - not shy.
Beard chafing, time wasting, eagerly tasting, lips parting, tongue darting.
Blood rushing, faces blushing.
Hearts beating, temperature heating.
Gently stroking, carefully probing, birds humming - Jenny's coming.
Beard chafing, time wasting, eagerly tasting, lips parting, tongue darting.

Jen
Jenny you are the very definition of fine
Every second I'm with you is simply divine
Not a thought wasted
Nor a second hastened
You're in my thoughts as I try to remain patient.
My heart is bounding at the thought of your touch
I'm pining for a glimpse of your smile so much
Looking at you makes me fill up with joy
Loving you more as each second goes by
Arrows shot at me by Cupid til now have but missed
Right through my heart did one go when first we kissed.
And now for fun as I reach the end of this game
