What can I see when I say I can do and the bird in the tree reminds me of you and the little lake ponders and paddles and pants and the stars in the sky over yonder way land speak to the children who chide in the snow and the sleet turns to […]

Seven seas
I dance to the windswept scent of the flower bed that’s blooming and walk to the sundrenched colour of the bottle-brush in Spring. I run to the overarching weakness of the sunshine fading and lie next to the smell of baby milk that is the stunning bosom, bearing. I sleep to the suppressed reality of […]
Love more than life
Love more than life Tears over rain Laughter stronger than stress – the weaker strain Smile brighter Than eye’s refrain Arms outstretched To face the sun Heart so sore – Creates a shroud What can I do – Who can I hold – Where can I stand To void the cloud When I see the […]
Forever in between
It matters not how hard or harrowThe hindrance that I holdBut how soft and purely suppleThe helping hand I doth extol The caressing care known as compassionOpens the door to graceForever in betweenComparing looks upon the face It matters not how rough the gazeHow tough the buccaneerBelieve him when he tells you;Want for her when […]
The Hand
I stood beside the hand I held And saw it tell a story It spoke of years when time was young And the years in sun and glory It stroked my hair, and with a twist Touched my elbow then my shoulder Romance became companionship As the two of us grew older Sometimes I thought […]

Loss Oh, God, What does it mean? Am I alone Yet near, beside The one I thought I’d have forever – Experiences Shared together Now you’ve left For better scenes Still nothing, no-one Comes between The rose and orchard We grew when The garden bloomed – The scent would spend It’s time in what Became […]
Camellia
He walked amongst the many and came across the one – the one who made him feel like he was walking on a cloud. Wearing Leopard-spotted ‘happy shoes’ she was a slim little thing, five foot six at most, wearing black, skin-tight yoga pants that hugged her legs, and a silky beige shirt hanging out over her […]
Cosmotic
Once again the weekend comes and I share my poetry with you here. Cosmofunnel has been a source of pleasure for me, having reached the heady heights of over 700 viewings on occasion (God knows how). These four poems have been viewed and commented on by fewer people but amongst them is my favourite of […]
the funnel in the cosmo
Well, I’ve come out from under the shade of the tree. Now for Christmas, and my shopping basket is empty. Where to find those presents of value with a tad of gimmickry attached that friends and family will enjoy? Perhaps a book of poetry would do the trick, like Prism – an anthology – hmmm, now […]
