English I write to allow others to feel what I feel / And to show how I see things / I write to please, and if in doing so, I do? / Then I have done what I set out to do.
More I the fool, for wasting time, for writing verse for writing rhyme I should use my time for those who follow, as did Zeus as did Apollo Like the god of truth and prophecy, I prepare for those that see There is no secret rendezvous, no tryst, or hidden fond adieu Just words set out as I see things, my look on life and all it brings I write of nature how we abuse it, I try to show how we can use it I write of love, its joy and pain, I write of children who cry in vain More I the fool to think that I can show the way to happiness Its in your hands, how things will be, if we succeed if we progress So take this world, its for the young, not for us poets all unsung But if you read what I have writ, more I the fool to think to quit For if one word, one verse, one rhyme, should make you think More I the fool, I waste no time.

More I the fool
I wake to touch the September morning chill The early dew glistens in the mornings hue; it softens the low mist that abounds A fox scurries away after his night of slaughter Whilst mushrooms make their early morning rounds, only to disappear before the dew dries As the day takes over from the dawn Crows proclaim their territory and squabble with the rooks The last murmurs of the morning chorus end its melodious run A field mouse hurries away and awaits to coming of the warming sun This September morn sends a shiver down my spine, its beauty personified by its stillness My breath, fogs the air like a puff of smoke that mingles with the early morning mist Only to lose its authority to the surrounding break of day haze Crunching sounds of each step echos on the frosty grass, leaving a first impression The only clue that I had walked this way before Soon many will follow to hide my trace, as in my life, my achievements are marred by those more worthy of recognition September morn I cry out to you: Be my inspiration, and warm me with your promise of the day ahead Too soon I will bewail your passing, to soon will Mother Nature cast her winter cloak But I know you will return once again to thrill me with your splendour I will awake once more to touch your morning chill

September chill
The deep deep crimson  of my rose hides its sharp protective thorns to guard against the hand that might cut it In its beauty, a tear trickles from deep within to show it has a hidden feeling from the outside you don't see the emotions and fears.

The Rose
The deep deep crimson  of my rose hides its sharp protective thorns to guard against the hand that might cut it. In its beauty, a tear trickles from deep within to show it has a hidden feeling, from the outside you don't see the emotions and fears.

My rose
Dragonfly with wings of Blue, what makes me wonder just like you You hover over a yellow flower, mesmerized by her power I see myself attracted to, the colours of life, just like you Something bright will pull me in, to take my light deep deep within Oh dragonfly Oh dragonfly lets savour life, just you and I

Dragonfly
It was our first kiss, nothing wild or licentious just a touch of moist warm lips Coming together for a fleeting moment then parting In that instant, a thousand wishes flooded in to fill a void It seems I had been longing for, waiting for, wanting for My life balanced and tilted towards a happiness I never dreamed could be We looked into each others eyes not a word spoken I knew in that moment it was the same for her A knowing perceptive smile began to form, as I drew her to me and kissed her once more

The Kiss
The day he died his music kept on playing He lived his life on a plateau of insignificance Moving from one failed love affair to another Each time pledging it would be the last He had only felt true love the one time A helpless impossible love A love which had metamorphosed into another kind of love A love of friendship and compassion And his music played on The music was his heart and soul A kind of music that kindled a fire, within us all Music of words and feelings, open to all. Those that listening to the music, those that allowed it to encompass them Would feel it too And his music will play on

And his music plays on
Women come in many guises its up to you to choose If you want her wild you will have to accept The odd deep scratch or bruise You could pick a hot one, but my friend Be very very aware You see you might get badly burnt And this advice I share I speak from experience because this is one Lesson I have sorely learnt If you play with fire you will, I guarantee get burnt Why not pick a shy one? You just might be surprised She might just be a sly one, and pleasing to the eye To me, I picked a smart one; I like a woman with style She a woman that can be all of these things She’s hot and wild; she’s smart and shy, And she’s very versatile.

Women
I sit at the keyboard and click another key Another line of poetry I click again and write some more Finding lines to explore Reading over what I write How will it sound when I recite? I click again another line Another verse another rhyme Lets take a break lets take a rest Allow my lines to digest Scrambling words in a new combination Seeking out for new Inspiration Fingers hover like a bird As I click again another word One more line for this rhyme Now it’s finished just in time.

Another poem
The perfume of her hair blurred my senses, as I took her in my arms, caressed her hips, just so gently Oh the roundness of her ******* the pure marble white of her skin, the ruby softness of her sweet sweet lips. She turned to face me,and with a hand on my cheek, kissed me once kissed me twice quite passionately I was mesmerized by her beauty and charms I love you my darling she whispered as I carried her off to our bed in my arms. We made love all night long and then in the morning There she lay I gentle kiss her forehead then her eyelids and onto her sweet pretty nose careful not to disturb her, and in the morning I will wake her in the favourite way shes love to be woken. I watch her get dressed and thought to myself how much more could one man be so wonderfully blessed
