Gravy
(I suggest listening to stairway to heaven while reading)
There’s a lady who’s sure all the dinner is cold
And she’s trying to warm up the gravy
Now the gas won’t come through cos the metre is broke
And the fitter can’t get till tomorrow
Ooh ooh and she’s trying to warm up the gravy
There’s a sign on the wall in the gas fitters shop
Saying that he just works for cash dealings
There’s a dog in a box and it’s covered with fleas
That mongrel could do with a good bathing
Ooh it sounds like thunder
Ooh it sounds like thunder
Now...
There’s a lady who’s sure all the dinner is cold

There’s a sign on the wall in the gas fitters shop
Saying that he just works for cash dealings
There’s a dog in a box and it’s covered with fleas

Ooh it sounds like thunder

Behind the door.
Behind the door she's waiting
naked on the bed
behind the door she's wanting
everything she said
can I take this story
to the very end
behind the door she's waiting
the wife of my best friend
naked on the bed
behind the door she's wanting
everything she said
can I take this story
to the very end
behind the door she's waiting
the wife of my best friend

One more chance.
Bracing winds tear through my thin cotton shirt,
As I wait in vain for a glimpse of her.
But I know she won’t be coming today,
Not at half term. She lives far out of town,
That much I do know. But still like a fool
I wait, hoping to see her one more time.
“Teaching isn’t what I hoped it would be.”
She once told me, during one of our brief
Conversations. Has she gone? Gone for good?
The thought of not seeing her again hurts
Inside, like a beaver gnawing at my
Brain. Sweet Ivy I only wish we had
Spoken more, laughed more, dated, just one time....
As I wait in vain for a glimpse of her.
But I know she won’t be coming today,
Not at half term. She lives far out of town,
That much I do know. But still like a fool
I wait, hoping to see her one more time.
“Teaching isn’t what I hoped it would be.”
She once told me, during one of our brief
Conversations. Has she gone? Gone for good?
The thought of not seeing her again hurts
Inside, like a beaver gnawing at my
Brain. Sweet Ivy I only wish we had
Spoken more, laughed more, dated, just one time....

Move on.
The street burned with the red and gold of autumn,
As the sky threatened with dirty dark clouds.
A youth crouched in the wind less doorway,
Sucking slowly on a saliva soaked joint,
Behind a beer can battlement.
A street light shone on his buttercup yellow skin,
Reflecting his drink devastated liver.
Head flicking from side to side,
Watching carefully all passers with suspicious eyes
Like a possessive griffin guarding his pitiful treasure.
The flashing blue light pulled alongside,
Joint flipped and pocketed.
Cosy life pigs with a move...
As the sky threatened with dirty dark clouds.
A youth crouched in the wind less doorway,
Sucking slowly on a saliva soaked joint,
Behind a beer can battlement.
A street light shone on his buttercup yellow skin,
Reflecting his drink devastated liver.
Head flicking from side to side,
Watching carefully all passers with suspicious eyes
Like a possessive griffin guarding his pitiful treasure.
The flashing blue light pulled alongside,
Joint flipped and pocketed.
Cosy life pigs with a move...

The Joke
Withdrawn to long, safe from the world
Stuck in a dream state, hidden from passion
My flag of freedom never been unfurled
Life passes me by in my self built prison
When something strange wakens inside
An ache that turns to pain with out end
Step on the road alone with no guide
So starts a journey in search of a friend
Sparkling blue eyes invites with a grin
Now the game begins, it's time to speak
What can be said, where do you begin
Fear inside when conversation is weak
Keep on trying the banter will flow
Not a...

A Sonnet for my Wife
We've come this far through changing seasons,
We two, side by side if not hand in hand.
Taught our children with logic and reason,
And released them all on the changing land.
Started our life in our early days of youth,
Growing and facing it all together.
Filled our home from the cellar to the roof,
Happy inside no matter the weather.
Welcomed grandchildren as they came along,
cuddling and playing before sending them back.
Teaching them nursery rhymes and songs,
giving them chocolate as a quick snack.
Together we faced the worries...
We two, side by side if not hand in hand.
Taught our children with logic and reason,
And released them all on the changing land.
Started our life in our early days of youth,
Growing and facing it all together.
Filled our home from the cellar to the roof,
Happy inside no matter the weather.
Welcomed grandchildren as they came along,
cuddling and playing before sending them back.
Teaching them nursery rhymes and songs,
giving them chocolate as a quick snack.
Together we faced the worries...

Fox and The Moon
Oh Lady Luna how high you fly
On your silver chariot across the midnight sky
If you where mine all would be right
Together we would bathe in your lovers light
Mr Fox your words are so very kind
Though my cycle is short I think you will find
Caught as I am in this monthly story
For a short time only will you see my glory
Your rise I have seen to full lumination
From then I have loved you, that's with out question
For you I have search all of my life
It's time to leave your chariot, come be my wife
Mr Fox...
On your silver chariot across the midnight sky
If you where mine all would be right
Together we would bathe in your lovers light
Mr Fox your words are so very kind
Though my cycle is short I think you will find
Caught as I am in this monthly story
For a short time only will you see my glory
Your rise I have seen to full lumination
From then I have loved you, that's with out question
For you I have search all of my life
It's time to leave your chariot, come be my wife

The Hub
I am the hub of my universe,
The wheel riding through destiny,
Inflated and buoyed for the journey ahead.
My tread gripping firmly on the arduous road,
The future is mine to defeat.
Through many paths I have travelled,
Many ruts and bumps overcome.
Now my grip is not as firm as it used to be,
My buoyancy has taken a dip,
Still the future is mine to defeat.
Many highways fade far behind me,
My tread now worn, I’m losing my grip.
Deflated but still struggling on,
Destiny has called and I have answered,
The future I’m driving to...
The wheel riding through destiny,
Inflated and buoyed for the journey ahead.
My tread gripping firmly on the arduous road,
The future is mine to defeat.
Through many paths I have travelled,
Many ruts and bumps overcome.
Now my grip is not as firm as it used to be,
My buoyancy has taken a dip,
Still the future is mine to defeat.
Many highways fade far behind me,
My tread now worn, I’m losing my grip.
Deflated but still struggling on,
Destiny has called and I have answered,
The future I’m driving to...

Confused
Incomprehensible manifestations,
Of undecipherable gestures,
Lead to confused ruminations.
Actions reasoned applaudable,
Designed for reciprocal advantage,
Currently emerge condemnable.
Sparkles, perchance lighting,
Erupting from cobalt iris's.
Contentment? Annoyance?
Copulation? Confrontation?
Clarification desperation!
Of undecipherable gestures,
Lead to confused ruminations.
Actions reasoned applaudable,
Designed for reciprocal advantage,
Currently emerge condemnable.
Sparkles, perchance lighting,
Erupting from cobalt iris's.
Contentment? Annoyance?
Copulation? Confrontation?
Clarification desperation!

Made for each other
It came from a single touch
A spark of recognition
A realisation of what was meant
A creation from the gods
A secret only they knew
Destiny guided our paths
From the dark lonely streets
To the bright warmth of the sun
Bringing us together at the right time
The unification of a perfect puzzle
Eye contact came first
Driving the rest of the world away
A silence where no words were needed
Just an overwhelming understanding
The lexicon of love could not compete
Still there is nothing to say
As we lay in each others arms...
A spark of recognition
A realisation of what was meant
A creation from the gods
A secret only they knew
Destiny guided our paths
From the dark lonely streets
To the bright warmth of the sun
Bringing us together at the right time

Eye contact came first
Driving the rest of the world away
A silence where no words were needed
Just an overwhelming understanding

Still there is nothing to say

Her Game.
Isolation my only desire,
A single tree in the desert.
Far from the whispering forest,
Far from the laughter in the breeze,
Far from the pointed mockery.
Warned so many times,
Something I didn’t heed.
Angelic smile just for me,
A goddess there before me,
Naively I stumbled on.
An innocent enters the lair,
A happy smile a simple word,
I knew this can’t be real.
It’s just friendship I told my mind,
But my heart wanted so much more.
The game was played out,
But I didn’t know the rules.
I played my part …the fool....
A single tree in the desert.
Far from the whispering forest,
Far from the laughter in the breeze,
Far from the pointed mockery.
Warned so many times,
Something I didn’t heed.
Angelic smile just for me,
A goddess there before me,
Naively I stumbled on.
An innocent enters the lair,
A happy smile a simple word,
I knew this can’t be real.
It’s just friendship I told my mind,
But my heart wanted so much more.
The game was played out,
But I didn’t know the rules.
I played my part …the fool....

Missing you
I can feel your presence though you're not here,
I spoke to your shadow in the darkness.
I talk with my mind but you can not hear,
I sing love to your audio blindness.
Replay the actions repeat the mess,
Tomorrow has gone yesterday's not here.
Caught unchained in a wishful wilderness,
I can feel your presence though you're not here.
Sunshine rises bringing forward the clown,
The moon shivers in the summer coolness.
The Earth is cover in a blue green sound,
I spoke to your shadow in the darkness.
All of the colours are screaming...
I spoke to your shadow in the darkness.
I talk with my mind but you can not hear,
I sing love to your audio blindness.
Replay the actions repeat the mess,
Tomorrow has gone yesterday's not here.
Caught unchained in a wishful wilderness,
I can feel your presence though you're not here.
Sunshine rises bringing forward the clown,
The moon shivers in the summer coolness.
The Earth is cover in a blue green sound,
I spoke to your shadow in the darkness.
All of the colours are screaming...
