A red, orange, brown fuss
in autumn once more
as fog comes upon us
Halloween ghouls to the door

The trees turning yellows
rains tumult and pour
thunder bellows,
winds blow cold with …

As the clouds bring darkness nearer
and the day draws in
I’ll wait for you as promised
Under the ark of love

Where I’ll set you a tray of your warm tea nectar
On a table – clothed for …

Recession made Christmas harder than ever before
Family’s splitting – money the core
Dad’s leaving to live on the street
So that young hungry mouths are able to eat
That some extra cash mig…

" ‘Tis the season to be jolly," the school’s choir sings
as the town tree splashed with multi coloured light bulbs is lit
Strings of lights sway as they zig-zag the High Street from left to r…

Clouds garland snow capped mountain peak
Icy snow butterflies melt kisses upon my nose
Puffs of warm, moist breath balloons billow out before me,
quickly chilling, disappearing before my eye…

"I said I do today"
Spoken words with heart and mind
Lust and desire made clear
"Boy, how you grind my gears

Perfect pout pink lip-gloss kisses
with proud protruding power jewel centre
Ephemeral Angels

Mornings brilliance
lets the sun spread it’s grin
Slowly warming the beds
awakening the flowers
as they raise their heads
birds chorus dawns delight
melancholic tunes contrite
Nature’s c…

Once, love dreamed of,
I used to write her name
by mine, in hope she’d notice
Over and over, again, again, again.

She’d look with radiant smile
I’d do same
Would pass me by
Repeatedly,…

Love deceives
when it comes to family
It falters
just as Autumn wind hits trees

Leaves fall
just as tears begin to roll
down cheeks
Barriers appear we meet a wall

Words played

Seven years have passed
since first I married him
Whence he succombed his bride
Yet when I told him of babe we’d due
it felt our love just withered up and died

For the man he changed,

In sickness and in health
you vowed to one another,
and now when things are tough
you stand strong for each other.

There’s nothing wrong with taking time
to persue own dreams and goals, …

There he blows
on his way to the gents
Book in hand

for the next half hour

Imagination envisages

reassure her
Hold her close and cuddle her
Treasure her

Go see her,
no matter how far away she lives
Always make an effort
let her know she is worthy
