I quickly hide / As the creatures glide,
This was written when I was in my early 20’s for my then teenage brother David. He challenged me to come up with something on the spot and I wrote it for him. It’s extra special to me now as David passed away when he was 21. Its’ original title was “See the Crescent Moon”.
The bats arrive and are funny and gray We have to reorder the bats
Festive, furious – the Wild Hunt (Wylde Hunt, etc.) was this ill-jammin party ancient poetic German ghosts had on Easter Day to celebrate the syzygy of the planets. This poem asks the question: What if this whole cycle of eating and not-eating interfered with that jammin-ill earth party?
One side lands face up, the world is at its feet. The world is its oyster. The other side lands face first in the dirt. You win, I lose.
This bragging, store-bought hero/ always ends right where I start/ and the morning sun means zero/ to the darkness in his heart.
I’d like to dedicate this one to Clint Eastwood, because I think he would totally get it.
Laying down, our bed / pastures readied, we kissed / that night when thoughts / dashed from two hearts.
One’s first kiss
.I take the time to reflect, it hasn’t been that long, since we first spoke, met. / I breathed you in, like my first toke. some thing in y…

The yellow tail curtails my flight
If the world was made of yellow flowers and the night, what would it taste like?
I knew it was critical that I not act in haste; my mind wandering back to other times, other doors, and I knew this would be my last chance.

And so now the path is always gold — / my heart is your heart / and it beats only for you.
It’s clear to me now that I enjoy writing about roads and journeys. There is just something about them. Written for Michael, the gold in my path.

“I like this poem quite a lot, because of the mood of the poem, this feeling of something hanging in the air, of waiting for something, but not knowing nor caring what it is. I also like the fact that it is based on something very mundane, and yet, when put in verse form, it becomes something very different.”
Although the face did not look as tortured as it had done in recent days, a dormant anguish still etched the features, as if pain was tak…
A young man sits in a hospital as he best friend, a middle-aged woman, spends her last days of life in a blissful state of unconsciousness. There is so much he wants to tell her, but will he ever now get the opportunity?

Good god, as I’m writing this / it just looks more yellow.
Enjoy.
White is for pure a virgin in wait / or a snowman’s coat all covered in flakes.
Something I wrote whilst living in Sweden 12 years ago in 1997. / I worked out many years before that if you write something for the public or Society in general then you should write so that ‘’everybody understands’’ / When only the educated or literally minded people understand what you have written then how is that a good thing unless you are prejudice against certain members of society it doesn’t make sense. / If you were giving a speech to an audience of 10.000 people why would you speak and only use words that only half your audience understands, that would be a waste of breathe and space, / but if you were to talk and use words that were understood by all 10.000 people in your audience then surely you have done a better job in capturing those you are trying to get your message across to. Rudyard Kipling’s ‘’If’’ is a fine example of great literature and poetry it has been voted the greatest poem of all time,everyone understands the wording of ’’If’’ / What makes a great poem is something that people can relate to and understand something that touches you something you won’t forget / great poems you remember because you understand the words and meaning, poetry doesn’t mean anything if the people reading it don’t understand what you have written.
