POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Just being me, the best i can be
A woman's bad day
As daybreak dawns
Frost upon the lawns
The cold begins to bite
Waking up not a pretty sight
Hair tousled all over the place
She get moving at some pace
Running late once again
Having to hurry to catch her train
Knickers bra and dress
Straighten herself up, what a mess
Foundation, powder and lip gloss
Oh, dropped the nail varnish, now she's cross
A little eye-liner and pencilled brow
This repair job ready right now
Comb raked quickly through her unruly hair
...

Glass Heart
Fragile heart of glass
Easily shattered into shards so sharp
Each one an hour of regret
Cutting deep into veins of hope
Fantasy slowly bleeds
Drop by drop onto vulnerabilities desert
Soaking away without a trace
Easily shattered into shards so sharp
Each one an hour of regret
Cutting deep into veins of hope
Fantasy slowly bleeds
Drop by drop onto vulnerabilities desert
Soaking away without a trace

Can you?
Can you die from a broken heart?
Does the will just ebb away
Floating down the stream of silent tears
Do all the dreams crumble?
Collapsing cliffs undermined by the sea of sorrow
Does time pass interminably?
Each moment stretching until the elastic finally snaps
Does the heart falter?
Becoming comatose
Slowly dying as the soul bleeds away
Can you die of a broken heart?
Does the will just ebb away
Floating down the stream of silent tears
Do all the dreams crumble?
Collapsing cliffs undermined by the sea of sorrow
Does time pass interminably?
Each moment stretching until the elastic finally snaps
Does the heart falter?
Becoming comatose
Slowly dying as the soul bleeds away
Can you die of a broken heart?

Woven in the weft
Woven words
Upon the needle points of the weft
Dreamer’s thoughts
Make sure your dreams of me for a single night
Fantasy will set you free
Free from the logic of reality
All of the logic, layer upon layer stripped away
Dreams unwinding
Only able to see reflections
Reflections in the window
A fantasy of dreams
Strange bizarre people gazing back
Hidden inside a dark forest of sighs
Woven thoughts mingled within the weft
Life has a rhythm
Just working out the...

Sometimes
There are days of reflection
When walking alone feels like the future
Looking back, I see you
Far behind
Even though I stop and wait
You get no closer
I only feel the rain on my face
As I get soaked waiting
When walking alone feels like the future
Looking back, I see you
Far behind
Even though I stop and wait
You get no closer
I only feel the rain on my face
As I get soaked waiting

Desire
Slowly time drags burning within the fire
Collecting as dust along the corridors of my desire
A raging fire inside fiercely burning
Passion rising to fever pitch
Orgasms finest silk
Spun so fine, making a lovers copulation stitch
Collecting as dust along the corridors of my desire
A raging fire inside fiercely burning
Passion rising to fever pitch
Orgasms finest silk
Spun so fine, making a lovers copulation stitch

It's easy to remember every day
Love
Inhaling its heady smell
Lovers in each breath of time
The smile’s easy to remember
The twinkling laughter that sounds like spring
All of the tenderness shown
With each caress
Each passionate kiss
Every caring selfless thought and act
Encapsulated inside the heart and soul
Time
Is without end when love knocks
Agonisingly slow when parted
Passions pool in which to bathe when together
Squeezing every possible second
Every passion
Till exhaustion...

Photographs
Every picture is a moment
Captured only once in time
Frozen in the lens
A memory to savour
Each second revolves
Always looking forwards, never behind
Ever changing
Re-arranging
The sun is never quite in the same place
A new wrinkle on an old man's face
Moving on
Never still
It is the same with everything
Relationships change
Slowly mature
Going deeper
Some breaking
Others enduring till the final moments of time
Captured only once in time
Frozen in the lens
A memory to savour
Each second revolves
Always looking forwards, never behind
Ever changing
Re-arranging
The sun is never quite in the same place
A new wrinkle on an old man's face
Moving on
Never still
It is the same with everything
Relationships change
Slowly mature
Going deeper
Some breaking
Others enduring till the final moments of time

Yesterday,today and tomorrow
Yesterday is still fresh in my memory
Delicious, filling the empty now
Crackling electricity plays upon the lips, pondering
Still sweet tasting with their tender touch
Basking in a lovers warmth
Yet, there is still the niggling ache
The feelings of abandonment
That knows but does not feel your touch
Does not feel the warmth of your body
Yesterday should be today
With today living each day into infinity
Unashamed thoughts of entanglements heated moments
Tripping willingly about the mind
Wrestling in passions embrace
Lovers enjoying a...

Modern tigress
She is the modern tigress
Doing anything that she has to
To protect
House
Feed
Clothe her young
Alone struggling in a lopsided world
A victim
Yet also the predator when needs be greatest
Suffering in silence the humiliations
Offering anything, everything
Working for food
Her body if that’s what it takes
All for her brood
They call her a harlot, yet they don’t understand
They call her trash but they have been lucky
They have no right

Great Pretender
Nature intended
Sometimes love just pretended
Brought on by a wave of optimism
Reflective, the love eye prism

Canyons - 2001
Gazing wistfully upon the naked grandeur
Sagebrush rolling aimlessly across the wilderness
Great canyons filled with the silence of long forgotten trails
Just the place to forget
A place for the past
Burying yesterday’s sins, they are best left behind amongst the brutal memories
Wrapping them in regrets whispered cloak
Forever washing away its gore
Yet this wilderness is inside
The void where the heart used to be
Devoid of love
Even the newness of the millennium produces no spark
Sagebrush rolling aimlessly across the wilderness
Great canyons filled with the silence of long forgotten trails
Just the place to forget
A place for the past
Burying yesterday’s sins, they are best left behind amongst the brutal memories
Wrapping them in regrets whispered cloak
Forever washing away its gore
Yet this wilderness is inside
The void where the heart used to be
Devoid of love
Even the newness of the millennium produces no spark
