THE GIRL WHO CAME TO STAY
From the shadows she came,
Soft glow of lamp's light touch,
Hitting her body softly,
As coolly and calmly she passes into the room.
This mystery girl,
This lover to be,
Will end my torment,
Breaking my silent lonely struggle.
Tension beaten back by her warming touch,
At last by her hold I am given my longing release.

SUMMER EYES SUN
Summer sun washes eyes with honey like heat.
An island of trees on the horizon,
Dark and bright,
Vibrant with rich tasting colour,
Surrounded by a field of golden untamed grass,
Swamp the passer by.
This wild ocean
Of living gold suffocates and resuscitates.
Drinking deep,
It intoxicates,
And with every breezing breath
You are caught in the ebb and flow,
Carried along with summer eyes.

SECRET GARDENS
In lands established meet,
Lives hard and soft,
Secret beauties slip,
Not known by the mass until recent times,
Colour ignites the mind,
And form the imagination.
Secret gardens,
Gates open a jar,
Let the common touch feel its way,
Explore high and low,
Side to side,
In and out.
Small bites are taken from the apple
And Pandora's box creaks ever wider.

TRANQUIL SUMMER DAZE
Lazy hazy summer daze
Strides as long as a beat,
Through this tranquil summer daze.
A yearlong smile,
Slow motion limbs
Befitting this tranquil summer daze.
Time stood still and close,
The air thick with haze
On this tranquil summer daze.

NOWHERE NEVER LAND MAN
Here I sit,
Eyes everywhere,
Beady wide and round they stare.
They invade my nowhere never land
With their everywhere glare.
Wondrously from some other where
I stumbled upon a deed,
And a need for this deed.
At first it was all cheers,
But then it was all jeers,
Oh well,
Time will tell.

SPIN DRY
Rooms spinning
Can't sleep feeling ill and head's ringing.
Throat's dry
Matted sweat on luke warm skin.
Can't get up,
To tap the water
A million miles away downstairs.
If I move,
I know I'll die,
Have to wait this endless wait,
Try and go under,
So I won't go over.

MOON LIGHT BIGHT
A flood of lunacy peels away from the clouds,
Illuminating a traveller's trek.
The traffic whirls its way home and away.
Beating a tired path
Across liquid stone
Worn tested and sore
From a days breath.
Traffic lights bright
Like light on diamond and ruby stones,
Marking the way
As if whirling starward bound
The snake of metal rubber and flesh.

DIRTY OLD RIVER
Gold and silver cracks upon the watered blood,
Deep and murky,
Cold and wild.
Mirror of its clouded cousin,
Autumn's wintered yellow brown,
Tea stained world.
Dirty Old River
Still pumps into the heart of Blighty,
Strong and mighty.

ONE DAY SUMMER
Sunshine light new worth bite
During this one day summer birth,
Glorious its gleaming brilliance
Its like a diamond struck,
Bathing in a palette so strong velvet soft,
Relieving a caged sense amongst life's grind,
Fresh waters fall without a cloud in the sky.

SPEAKEASY
Easy speak, conversations abound,
8 million minds a person.
Late summer light spread thick to every corner,
Words and sentences spoken aloud
Stuck in this buttered air,
An alphabet soup jumble.
The fates discussed in this open forum
Archaic in its freshness,
No antiquated rules or customs,
Just bare bones and unmasked faces.

TAKING THE TUBE
In the afters of the day,
Driven to the rafters
By daft bastards,
Energy sapped in a wrap of pap,
Nothing left for extras.
A warming glow
From the glass-eyed box;
A billion trillion images
Beamed into your head
Taken from all over.
A fag and a tea
Help to rest in peace
And give a lease of life
Trying to live this strife.

FOR LOVE NOT MONEY
A working day gone but never done,
At dinner times chime empty rumbles grumble
As guttersnipes gripe.
Mother's bumblebee flight around home fires light,
101 things to be done and dusted.
Little shaver's rumbles and grumbles silenced,
Having swallowed down whole,
A slice of humble pies bite
From mothers might, as she tenders her life,
For love not money and stands and delivers.

CEMETERY JUNCTION
Cars parked one on top of the other,
Coloured metal flecks dot this twisted turned necropolis.
In every warped wrenched nook and crook,
Upon this unsanctified ground, dreams and nightmares strewn,
The final resting-place of mans last unfettered freedom.
A testament to this man-made modern machined world,
Mass produced mess.

IS IT IN MY HEAD?
I see it so clearly! Almost to the touch,
But it slips from my grasp
As I draw on with my hands as eyes,
Feeling their way
Across, around and about this child of mind.
Instruments used tame the elements,
But the struggle continues
It's never right, never finished, never ending.

ONCE-OVER
The embrace is the race
Robin reliant blight,
Glancing at others in their place
Can't keep pace
Never had a face just been out of sight,
Never was Mr Right.
I'm looking through too you
No longer two single sided one,
Now a two-sided edge.
Always the confidante,
Always on the window ledge
Looking out
At the embrace,
Never part of the race.
