Leave the windows to your soul...

wide open

that I may enter into your dreams
and guard you from
all fear
of night time terrors.

For I would
with but the promise of my kiss

paint rainbows
upon your trembling lips..

awakening
within your heart
a silent secondary beat
to protect thee
and keep me near

within the waking hours.

<3

Cake eaten
and yet I still eye the crumbs

hungrily.

Your tongue forks
with
electricity
moving slowly
across my static body...

charging
my screams
to alternate
between pain and pleasure,
shocked
at my own depravity...

I switch
from my current position
as you place
your knee on my chest
and smile,

I see I've really turned you on.

I wonder what's for tea
I wonder if he/she likes me
I wonder if I passed my exam
I wonder if he/she likes whom I am
I wonder if I should ask them out
I wonder if they'll laugh or shout

I wonder

Peel me like an orange
and
enjoy my exposed flesh

See her shake her *****
as she stirs those pots and pans,
her hips a thing of beauty
as she taps them with her hands.
Her slippers keeping rhythm 
as she shimmies cross the floor,
and she's singing along with em'
as she rocks from 12 till 4.
She's a twisting and a turning
as she raises up the heat,
with the passion she's a cooking
in her crazy tea time beat.
Clapping hands and jiving
as she adds a pinch of spice, 
now her upper bodies writhing 
as she slaps her buttocks twice.
there's hand prints on her bottom 
where the flour left it's trace,
and she shakes em' cause she's got em'
with a smirk upon her face.
Now she's potato mashing
as she did back in her day,
and boy she still looks smashing
as her hips so softly sway.
Now shes Serving up and beckons
for me to pass my plate,
asking if I fancy seconds 
then the meal will have to wait.
Now she's walking to the bedroom
with a two step on her mind,
and I turn up the volume 
and close the door and draw the blind.

You want me to stop loving you...

fine
then here's a knife

cut my heart
from my naked chest.

You want me to stop saying I love you...

fine
take these scissors

cut my tongue
from my open mouth.

You want me not to feel love for you...

fine
take this axe
and chop off my hands.

Happy Now In your ignorance

for love is not in the heart or word
nor is it in touch

love is deeper
way beyond the understanding of you and I

for love once given
can never be taken backnor taken from one

it's the scent
you wear unnoticed upon your skin

the image of a smile
that lifts you when others knock you down

it's the uncertainty and the doubt
made trivial beneath the weight of promises
and kisses

it's here
it's all of me and more

for love lives on
long after you or I my dear

erase me from your life
your photographs and video collection

but
I'll still be playing on your mind

24/7

You tie me to the bed
with knotted sheets each night
as I
toss and turn
dreaming of your hands
caressing me
clawing at my naked flesh
with freshly painted claws
your mouth inches
from mine
teeth bared as you bite
tugging my
bottom lip
between your lacquered lips
tongue tip teasing
the ache in me
as again I awake
perspiring
yet smiling


<3

You stole me heart


then stole away into the night

How can it be
you're just like me
and yet
we've never met

we laugh the same
know films by name
and quote the same sad song

but can't recall
meeting at all
though yet it don't seem wrong

the simple joy
of girl meets boy
and boy it feels so right

sometimes it seems
God answers dreams
as he did for us that night

Let's just walk
she said...

her hand gently
taking mine and leading me
back to yesterday,
just sit and I'll return
your smile
she whispered
her soft lips
brushing gently against
my ear.
She pulled back
pushing
me away
again            and            again
all the time
watching me
from a distance

as yesterday came rushing back
kicking it's legs
and
smiling.

Thou hast only
to bid me come
and I
by the light of a million stars
and fallen wishes
will rise
on borrowed wings
ten thousand
stong
uplifted by the voices of angels
praising once more
in song
the risen sun
and here as one with their morning
I offer my heart
and soul
nay
my very breath
my life to you
if you will but bid me come.

They say...

you should rub stiff muscles

to aid
relaxation.

If you really (.     ) me

then please tell me so.

Harry hedgehog in the hedgerow
saw a tasty treat
Harry hedgehog in the hedgerow
thought the taste so sweet
Harry hedgehog in the hedgerow
licked his sticky lips
Harry hedgehog in the hedgerow
spitting out the pips
Harry hedgehog in the hedgerow
looked around for more
Harry hedgehog in the hedgerow
ate an apple core
Harry hedgehog in the hedgerow
rolled into a ball
Harry hedgehog in the hedgerow
loved the fruits of fall

I'll never sleep with you

for why would I....


Why would I care to sleep
when I can spend
these quiet moments

alone
with you

gazing upon your night time beauty.

For in the moonlight
I have seen you
as no other
man can dare to claim

for here
you are more than daytime woman
more than mother lover friend
here
you are the carefree breeze
flowing softly over fields of lavender
where bare feet dance
and a young girl turns cartwheels
laughing at rain clouds

here you are the promise of summer
and the beauty of autumn
where hands weave daisies
and a young girl explodes in crimson and gold
laughing at falling leaves

Here you are the essence of memories
that paint or' the now with then
where lips first tasted kisses
and a young girl led me toward the future
laughing at my first blush

here you bear lines etched with poetry
and eyes that tell the many stories
of love of life the ups and downs we've shared
as our young boys now run and jump and play
laughing as you again turn cartwheels

and young mens heads.

The shadows of doubt
dance precariously
around the edge
of reason
with open arms
they taunt me
to trust
them
and jump
head first into
the darkness
that surrounds them
only to find
reflected in their souless eyes
mine own
filled with tears
that hold my dreams
captive
prisoners of my own
fears
unable to move to think
I wake
once more
to watch the shadows dance
as daylight breaks
and sanity is lost amongst
the scatter cushions
of my sleepless
mind

I rest beside you
reading poetry
written
upon your lips
puncuated
by every
gentle movement
of your eyes
each whispered breath
a private recital
that moves my heart
to tears
your beauty is both
the beginning
and the end
causing me to tenderly
comment
with
a solitary kiss.

In foreign fields
a marker stands
to honour sons
from other lands
it's painted red
and green and black
to ner' forget
the ones held back
in Flanders fields
the poppy blooms
to give respect
to honoured tombs
fathers sons
and brothers too
laid down their lives
for me and you

I die each night
when sunset
steals my heart away.

I spotted a mole in my garden

God I hope it's benign

You're here beside me
sleeping softly

and yet

my heart is aching
your absence.

You want to hurt me

it's easy...

Just say goodbye

.
***.                 ***
Your last love letter

gave my heart

a paper cut.
***
X

Last night I suffered 90% burns


**** your lips are hot.

My heads swimming

pity the rest of me can not.

There must be a Heaven
as ive already seen Hell.

Nip and tuck

                          and liposuck

makes natural fake

                          BIG mistake!

Hold me...

not in your arms
but forever

in your heart.

** <3 **

I'm more Picasso
than micheal Angelo,

More the scream
than Shakespeares dream.

I'm more soda pop and candy bar,
than French champagne and caviar.

More British  mini,
than Lamborghini.

More dandelion than red red rose,
more off the peg than designer clothes.

I'm more quiet nights in,
than goin clubbin.

More keeping it real,
than faking the deal.

So if you want more, but less is just fine,
then baby I'm yours as long as you're mine.

Moving a little closer
sharing a moments grace,
of warmth against your body
and the beauty of your face.

Tick tock
**** that clock
stupid face why do you mock...

empty seconds
wasted hours
vases full
of wilted flowers

Pointed fingers
judging me
as grasping hands
won't set me free

Pendulum
without the pit
counts me a fool
with surreal wit

wooden case
unlined with silk
the stench of death
and soured milk

funeral dirge
in hourly toll
breaks my heart
destroys my soul

In a(na)log
I pen farewell
and spend my time
alone in hell

If it gets any colder
I'm getting in the freezer for a warm
and cuddling up
to the fish fingers

You tore my heart out
swearing
it's for the best

you took your teardrops
and bathed
my open wounded chest

you then told me baby
it's time
you got some rest

you placed your love
within me
beneath my aching breast

and healed the scars
of others
where your fingers pressed

now I give  freely
what was
stolen by the rest

Hold it safe
treat it gentle
like a welcome guest

it beats now in music
in poetry
and in jest

for life gave me lemons
but you
gave me zest

Treat me like a child

and I will never stray

kisses and cuddles

and time aside for play

If she could speak
what stories would she tell you...

would she speak of all the times
she's been my shoulder
to cry upon
wiping tears from
puffy eyes

would she whisper soft your name
as I have
a thousand times
while squeezing her tight

would she recall the times
she's comforted me
when madness racked my mind
or gently nursed me
dabbing my fevered brow
when illness confined me to my bed

would she speak of all the times
she lay with me
supporting me
through long lonely
insomnia fueled nights

would she laugh
when she jokes about
all the times she's covered my embarrassment
or ran with me
naked
through unlit rooms

and would she promise you
one thing...

that you can share my dreams.

My heart doth stall and falter so
when er' my love thou hath to go
and yet my pain I never show

for fear that I should hurt thee.

For thine Hazel eyes and Chestnut hair
and snow drop skin so white, so fair
doth at my heart and soul so tear

when er' thou don't believe me.


My mind doth wander so unhinged
and lips once cool now embers singed
that on your kisses quaffed and binged

so often and so freely

For  bitter cup pressed here to lips
as time once more from fingers slips
and or' my words my poor tongue trips
trying hard to tell thee

to tell you

to tell you what

to stay to never leave
to just for once me words believe
to see I seek not to deceive


But only here to love you

Humpty Dumpty what a numpty
thought that he could fly
with paper wings attached with strings
he leapt into the sky

Jack and Jill stood on the hill
and watched him with delight
as up he flew their laughter grew
at such a wondrous sight

The fiddler cat said fancy that
as with her love did spoon
and watched awhile with pleasured smile
the cow jump or' the moon

The blind mice three they didnt see
and neither did they care
for he'll come down and break his crown
like ev'ry fool that dare

Miss Muffet thought it's all for nought
though eggs will one day fly
the spider spoke well then the yolk
will be on that poor guy

The clock struck one the night was gone
the paper wings caught fire
poached or fried Briar Rabbit cried
of both I'll never tire

Thing one thing two yes you and you
don't stand there get a net
and bring green ham oh Sam I am
for breakfast now is set

So read and learn before you burn
the wings your heart hath bore you
for this the end my learned friend
as I wouldn't want to bore you

Doctor Doctor I've got an ache
have you a pill that I could take,
to cease this beating in my chest
to give me peace to let me rest.

It doesn't hurt no not as such,
it's just I long to feel her touch.
to taste her lips to smell her skin,
can you not see the state I'm in.

She is my drug my cigarette,
my alcohol my need to bet.
The air I breath the food I eat,
the very ground beneath my feet.

The first the last my ev'ry thought,
the web of dreams in which I'm caught.
The scent I love after a storm,
the way her kisses keep me warm.

On second thoughts doctor forget,
I ever came we ever met.
For it would seem she gives me pain,
because her love drives me insane.

So let me ache for you ... Alone,
and let my need of you be known.
My summer love my Autumn tryst
just know one thing... you're always missed.

If this were a film
I'd be nothing more than an extra...

condemned
to wind up
alone
on the cutting room floor,

denied
from ever
speaking the words
I spent
weeks
building up the confidence to say
to you

face to face

cut to a close up of rain
running slowly
down a window pane

as you walk away from camera
never knowing

these
were my tears.

He smashed the box
to the ground

dancing wildly
  upon the grave'n image

scoffing at their
promises

and

copyrighted lies.

My heart like the bridge troll
hides
trampled
beneath the feet
of those
whom take their love for granted
laughing openly
in the warmth of sunlight
never dreaming
there will be nights
when the darkness is within and without
my heart
like the bridge troll will stay hidden
awaiting not
a faery tale ending
but only a taste of what so often
took it's toll on me
claiming
payment in full
leaving me empty without worth

for once upon a time
I too knew
love

In a little cafe I know
I sit
alone
imagining you here
our hands
touching lightly
as we
subconsciously stir our drinks
Others passing by
look and smile
muttering
first date
so cute
and such a lovely couple
we smile
almost laughing

but not to be
as I drink alone
my bitterness
held with a china heart
my hands hold
tightly

maybe one day
you'll see me there
and ask
is this seat taken
and we will
touch hands so tentatively
and laugh
at passers by
while carving hearts with spoons
within the froth
of latte warm and sweet
upon the lips

as any
yet
untasted kiss.

Poets
are the true masters
of signing their inner thoughts

With jagged nib
I slit my wrists
and tensed my arm
and squeezed my fist

spilling the life
we could not share
upon the page
headed - despair

in reddened ink
for all to see
that without you
there is no me

My words are smudged
my work misread
the meaning now
like me lies dead

My coffin dear is leather bound
with foreword left to chance
Titled - The Fool Who Had A Heart
But Knew Not Sweet Romance

Soft White bread
and margarine
creamy cheese
lay inbeteeen
brown sauce or red
or maybe Mayo
add an onion
pickled slow
squash it down
and cut with rev'rence
all washed down
with drink of pref'rence

Don't look at me
I'm drunk tee hee
as ***** fills my veins
it was a blast
found peace at last
an end to all my pains
potato wine
sweet friend of mine
thy kiss promises sleep
so raise a toast
from coast to coast
to the vine they buried deep

Skinny dipping in translucent pools...

as soft
milk white silken foam
laps at naked
limbs

mouth short of breath
makes no attempt
to break free
as lips
salt stained
crack
beneath the pressure


of your kiss.


Arms grasping at life
as legs
entangled by living bonds
drag me down
down
deeper into your sweet embrace

faining death
exhausted
I surface reborn of your love
of your body

once more I gaze into your eyes

skinny dipping in translucent pools

and smile.
