I could
so easily fall now
if I believed you would
catch me

I could so easily
I could
I could

but would your arms be beckoning
or waving me



Goodbye.

You never really saw
the funny side
the time I wrote upon my pants
do not open until Christmas day

His hands
will always keep
mine own
from holding yours

I love to wear your arms around my neck
and
your legs around my waist...

I love to wear your open mouth upon my lips
and
your scent all over me...

I love to wear your body close to mine
but most of all
I love to wear the smile you gave me.

You asked me if I'd like a coffee

I replied

I never drank it before bed

and you replied

then drink it afterwards

Your kiss is like coffee...


It's taste drives me crazy

She rammed her fist in hard
between willingly
opened legs

stretching the soft
white flesh
with moist nimble fingers

her husband watched
wide eyed
lips wet
as her breast glistened
from the oil
rubbed gently into the
soft skin

Sharing a smile of heated anticipation
they placed the turkey
in the oven

and began preparing the vegetables

How ironic that silica imprisons silica for all time

Touch me where no other has

deep

within my heart.

Daydreaming
made all the sweeter
by your shoulder
to dream upon
the movement of your chests
rise and fall
rocking me gently
the warmth of your breath and body
soothing the chill
of loneliness from my bones
as your laughter at the tv
lulls me sweeter than any lullaby
I'll rest now
silently listening to the beating
of your heart
my favourite song played always
and alone
for me.

As looks will surely fade

whereas

laughter lasts a lifetime

You have stopped my heart forever with a word


G o o d b y e

Condemn me to the noose
or tie me to the chair
pump me full of killer drugs
and just see if I care

Line me up a firing squad
tell the axeman that it's time
poison me with cyanide
I'd re commit my crime

Acid bath or burning stake
or drowned me till I'm dead
flog me flay me openly
I'll not take back what's said

Rack or iron maiden
stone me from dusk till dawn
crucify my body
Ill still mean all I've sworn

Do your worse to hurt me
stab deep thy sharpened knives
but pray dont just leave me
that's a death
                        I can't
                                   Survive.

There was a man from blighty
of mature age yet spritely
whom quipped and joked
till others choked
upon their laughter mighty

......      .......     ......  ........

There was a man named Martin
that had a central partin
so he wore a hat
and thought that's that
until it started smartin

I am the ****** page
patiently awaiting
your words...


to touch me.

I lie to you

you lie to me

within moments of  silence
Borne of gentle spooning.

No walking on the grass
no batheing in the sun
no kites no dogs no ball games
no daring to have fun

No pictures no video
no painting rural scenes
No kissing and no cuddling
no toddlers and no teens

No picnics no ice cream
no drinks and no smokes
no reading and no learning
no adults or old folks

No music no dancing
no poets or mime
no playwrites or theatre
no honest use of time

No entry no exit
no trying to make light
no I am not joking
now get out of my sight.

Soft

pink

and lightly scented
with
Rose water...




Turkish Delight.

Her autumnal eyes
burn like
beach lit bonfires...

warming my heart
and soul
as wind blown embers
shimmer
there gently,

a wicked twinkle
twinkle
little star
as all thoughts of sleep
tumble
to the sand ...

amidst hearts
etched with playful fingers
that idly
made sweet promises

that I.D.S.T

***** it!!!!  she shouted
as her husband
sweating
and cussing
shoved it in hard
bang it !!! bang it !!!
she moaned
as he gripped her legs
Pull this!!! Push that!!!
she ordered
as her husbands hand
found her bottom
Tap it gently!!!! Force it force it!!!!
she cried wildly
as he fumbled with her drawers
for Gods sake **** it George **** it!!!
as he gripped her wobbling chest
oh leave it ! Your pathetic !!!
and your tools too small
he thought no it's not the holes too big
and looked away

oh....

and the ****** instructions are in Swedish

I'll meet you in the park, yes the usual place
no don't be silly clear skies there's not a trace
oh hold on I see it one ******* cloud
on this day of all days, for crying out loud
ok you bring a brolley and I'll grab one too
I'm not letting the weather keep me from you
what? What about the picnic and the radio
well put it in some Tupperware and.. oh I know
we can improvise the music from the busy street
as we slow dance together to the car horn beat
so no high heels just wellies and a big rain mac
to replace that little number you bought in black
you don't have to worry you'll still look sweet
as we enjoy our us time on that old park seat
so I'll see you there in twenty. Of course I do
I can't say it, no as I'm standing in a queue
ok I'll whisper but I'm not so sure you'll hear
because of my heart beating knowing you're near
Now hurry as I miss you and your sweet embrace
just you and I together in our secret place.

I'm sorry I swear
I'm sorry I'm impatient
and I'm even sorry I'm not perfect

But...

and I mean this sincerely
from my heart


I'm NOT sorry that I met you.

The night sky weeps...

her sorrow known only to the stars
that gather

offering her their comfort
and support

freely offering to cast themselves down
to retrieve her tears

if she will once more
but smile

Make room for me
there by your side
that in your arms
I may abide
and all this night
in sweet embrace
be happy that you
made me space
may your lips
and silent prayer
be things that I
may always share
so make some room
and bid me rest
within thy arms
forever blessed.

You exercise two muscles

not your own

My heart and ....

Her name was Elsie
she came from Chelsea
with a Zimmer walking aid
she would dance when she was paid
clicking teeth and hips
pouting her dry lips
and she would shake her bingo wings
and her saggy ****** rings
the O A P's would cheer
for this geriatric dear
Trying to touch her wrinkled ***
with their free bus pass

At the Darby...     Darby and Joan Club.

I bare my soul and all to her alone
to no one else my true self known
for through trust a bond as grown
between her heart and mine alone

No silver bells nor cockleshells
no ring a ring a Rosie
just honest toil and English soil
to bring to you a posie

I miss you              I miss you

I'm feeling down

Hunger satisfied
as you
laid more
than just the table.

Nightmares
wearing hobnailed boots
kick the **** out of my sweetest dreams
silencing the laughter of my inner child
stomping mouths
full of broken teeth
and screams
pleading eyes once bright
stubbed out
like half smoked cigerttes
and fingers broke
that dared signal for mercy
from the beating met
bodies that danced
now twitch
in final painful throes
as they lie
trampled
beneath onslaught of blows
yet in death
the peace once sought
is found
for insomnia has no hold
on those that sleep
beneath the ground.

Well it's 3am
and I'm taking in the stars
as your heart
still beats...

soft

beneath a winters moon,

I reach out to hold it...

to rest it
gently
in my hands.

I feel the love
and smile

Knowing somewhere close
you do the same

thinking
of me...

two made one
beneath shared skies

exchanging promises

within
each kiss blown.

God had a plan for man
but the angels messed it up
because one was clumsy
and knocked or' Gods coffee cup
they tried to dry it with their wings
but that just made it worse
smuding all the writing
making the Lord God curse
the diagrams were ruined
the commandments down to ten
and the varied forms he'd thought of
reduced to mere men
All night the angels worked on it
trying to put it right
but somehow it looked quite different
in the early dawning light
Thou shall not eat chocolate
nor adorn they nails with paint
no woman would adhere to these
but only find them quaint
Thou shall not drink beer
or liquer made from fruit
nor will you dance on tables
in just your birthday suit
God read them and went crazy
his beard burst into flames
are you all *******
I like to see **** dames
Ive got such plans for rhinos
but the only horn I plan
is the one ive given freely
to each and every man
Now go away and try again
in fact just go away
except for you dear Lucifer
I'd like for you to stay
tell me again that dream you had
no not the bombs and guns
the one about the **** films
where he takes her up the ..

What is it Jesus
can thou not see I'm busy
you've done what to the water
By Me this stuff is fizzy
a nice side line in fizzy wine
that tastes like ripened fig
the Jews are gonna love you
and in Rome you will be big

** hum it's time to turn it in
The sabbath at last here
and Ozzy wakes the neighbours
if he doesn't get his beer
So angels take a final note
I don't want any wars or death
but the only angel listening
was an angel quite stone deaf
so God got no ****** that night
and the **** just went to waste
till Lucufer and Judas came
as got smashed off their face.

My love for you knows no boundaries
nor border guards with hastened shouts
for my heart forged in foundries
from sheer trust and carefree doubts

Let them levy heavy tax and toll
They'll ner' stop me getting through
for I must be where er' thy soul
for my heart longs to fly to you

Speak not of laws and reasoned thought
make no excuse that sounds like fact
for I must find what I've long sought
and on this need I need now act

So let them lower barriers down
and set up here their ****** blockade
I'll always find a way around
for my heart once sent cannot be staid

Prepare for war ye whom would stop me
be sure of this I'll win these fights
for over there lies liberty
and an end to all my lonely nights

So Take up arms increase thy number
imprison rights with red tape bars
but justice wakes from enforced slumber
as moon let's rain her falling stars

No boundaries no Borders hold me
when I can call upon your heart
to meet me where no one can stop thee
where we are one er' when apart.

So come to me and let me know this
that you would too break down their Walls
sign this treaty with thy sweet kiss
and hear my heart when er' it calls

Old fellow old fellow
where for art thou old fellow

I'm in t'shed wi whippet and tin bath
his filthy from his walk on t'crags
you should ha seen him what a laugh
chasing through t'mud a plastic bag


Oh Fred you said it were too wet
to go a walking on t' pit top
your boots are caked in mud I'll bet
oh I bet thy breath sticks high of pop


Quiet woman can you not see
I'm as sober as a judge
so get yer back to makin t'tea
as I wash off me boots of sludge


She is the moan this northern lass
that makes me old heart flutter
but just one more word of disrespect
and I'll head in there and nut her


He is the pain makes me old heart ache
and the one that brings me t'laughter
but I'll **** him soon as look at him
if he don't respect that I'm a grafter


Teas on t'table drippings hot
there's fresh bread in the oven
by heck lass that there's real class
I love yer, yers a good un


So no Romeo nor Juliet
just honest homely folk
whom now the worth of mother earth
and the value of a joke

Let's leave em be in kitchen warm
wi the humblest of fayre
for Yorkshire folk are t'salt of earth
and I know coz I live there.

It's cold outside
theres snow and ice
let's stay indoors
and snuggle, nice
let's light the fire
and cuddle tight
and dream away
this winters night
a blanket shared
is a blanket warm
to curl up close
forget the storm
let Jack Frost sing
let Jack Frost dance
as we alone
share this romance
so until spring
let's hibernate
beneath the sheets
and propagate...



X

With painted nails
she signed her name
across my back...

Scoring two perfect hearts
intertwined
blood red and throbbing
gently...

Her Handcuffs
jingle
like sleigh bells
as Christmas comes early.

There's a fresh breeze blowing
lightly speckled with a fine rain
as I stand face tilted up receiving it's kisses
smiling thinking of you
your soft breath upon my skin
the moistness of your lips against my cheek
my head tilted back
receiving once more your kisses


whilst smiling.

Park swings and polished slides
roundabouts and see-saw rides
country walks and babbling stream
honey pots and tins of cream
Kitchen sink or comfy seat
rain drops on an urban street
poetry and old love songs
wooden spoon and salad tongues
pinny or a pencil skirt
the way you look in my old shirt
the way I nag the way you chide
the nights we've spent sat side by side
beef stew and cake and sweet courgettes
high heeled shoes and sheer fish nets
silence in kisses laughter in eyes
and longing in those long goodbyes

It's a toss up
coffee or kisses
to awaken me


have both...  you say
sharing with me
caffiene painted lips

Tangled limbs copulating
is the only
T.L.C

I'll ever need.

I sit patient beneath a dying sky
watching flames
bleed from a wounded sun
brought down by falling stars...

like crystalline tear drops
poison tipped
they rend violet scars
across the blackened flesh of night...

for midnight comes without compassion
to bury this earth
in unhallowed darkness
amongst the grave stones of long dead planets...

and empty space.

I lay my face against thine own
here captured within the moment
within the gentle indentation...

soft cotton kisses taken
freely and frequently
from pillow puffed lips

as traces of your unique scent remain
to ease your absence

my fingers playfully tease your hair
left as if a love token
amongst the yet warm creases
of your immaterial form

I smile with eyes now wet
yet shed no tears
for sadness alludes me in these moments
of solitary joy

for you are not gone from me
as long as I can hold you close

as I have done so many nights
with hewed hands
that caress with such tendeness
your features

here captured forever in my heart.

You say try not to miss me
and I laugh...

don't tell me tell the wind
tell her
not to whisper your name
repeatedly

remind her not
to tease me with your scent
infusing
flowers with fresh baked bread

beg her not
to touch my skin
nor tease my uncombed hair
so playfully

Please tell her
not to dance around me
laughing so lightly
as to make me smile

as my missing you is like the breeze...

only natural.

Let me into your dreams...

give me the key
to your inner most thoughts,

share with me
your deepest desires

that I may be one with you.

As a child
I loved cherry lips

and still do.

I lay you down and turn around
and softly creep away
I turn once more just to be sure
that all is still ok

Your bottle gripped rubber **** tipped
a glass and half of milk
your tiny eyes and soft warm sighs
and skin as soft as silk

I stand awhile and gently smile
and listen to you snore
my heart my joy my baby boy
each day I love you more

Now sleep my son as day is done
and it has grown so dark
you must be beat with tired feet
from playing in the park

But come day break make no mistake
I'll be here with a hug
so off you go my darling Joe
wrapped up all warm and snug

Let me now
rearrange the stars
forming fresh new constellations
with whispered
promises
and kisses softly blown
upon the solar
winds
taking debris of long dead worlds
and making fresh of them
this thirteenth sign

the heart

that beats in rhythmic pulse
with every breath
you take

let it guide yours always back to mine

let it's heavenly body
reflect thine own

and when other lovers gaze upon it's beauty

let them too feel as happy

as I do now.
