In the light of the fire
We stood so silent there
We turned embraced each other
And our love we did declare

Her kiss so sweet i tasted
So sweet and so divine
Let loose the fires of passion
She would alone be mine

Time it did not matter
We were lost in love's embrace
As we lay under the heaven's
The moonlight glistened on her face

She looked just like a goddess
Her beauty captured in moon rays
Just a beautiful sweet memory
To last me all my days .
I wrote this poem in 1998 and it was published in a book called ' A CELEBRATION OF POETRY '.

Frankenstein's monster lay upon the bench
Made up from dead bodies , he gave off quite a stench !!
When the lightening caught him , it gave him such a jolt !
It came right down the lightening rod
And struck him on his.....bolt !!
ooh .. erm .. lol ...and as we move swiftly on !

In view i swam an ocean ..
To spend my life upon the land
As i knelt under the heavens
And placed a kiss on god's right hand
I heard a voice that came from nowhere
From out the dark ..a light so true
We live our lives within a circle
As something old becomes anew
From our past , create a future
Be quick for future is our past
In our sorrow, time drags slowly
In our interest time moves fast
A voice once raised in anger
Became a whisper then a.. sigh
When we are sad , we long for happiness
In happiness ..we cry
We live in question for an answer
Of things we say and things we do
And from our sanity comes madness
In madness sanity shows through !
And there was me... thinking of thoughts !

Two baby spiders , crawling on the wall
One said to the other " How fast can you crawl "?
' I've no idea ' said the other..' Do you want to see' ?
'I'll start off at the corner .. and you can count for me  !
" GO " the baby spider said, and sets off at a rate !
He's halfway to the other side ..the counting's up to eight
Just then disaster strikes him , as he trips over a bump !
His legs fly out from under him , he slides upon his **** !
" OUCH " the baby said , as he got up feeling sore
And decided not to carry on .. in case there were some more !!
I remember writing this lying in bed , it was one of those nights when i was just too tired to sleep..lol : )

Here comes Dracula flying through the night
Looking for a tasty neck on which to have a bite
He's out there in the darkness he wants a drink of blood
But if he flies in my room he'll lose his teeth for good
One bat to another i'll play baseball with his head
So don't bother me count Dracula
Same goes for all the living dead !!
I wrote this after  watching an old Bela Lugosi movie, with its cardboard bats being dangled on wire ..lol

?
Her love it knows no boundaries
I buy for her a cat
My darling keeps a basking shark
In her woolly hat

How many sticklebacks
Are beat up by the frogs ?
My dearest keeps her worn out stones
Underneath her logs

Her touch is like ...a million tons
of rubble from the moon
To charm a thousand dragonflies
Like buckshot as they swoon

I walked across the ocean
To breed her for a while
Out in the Antarctic
Zebra's  que-ing..for a mile !!

My darling sweetlips Octopus
Oh come and marry me ?
But dog said " I FORBID IT " !!
So i'll have to wait and see

Or shack up with a Tortoise
Whose name is Ethel bytheweight
I think i have... should go now
Cos ...she always makes me late !!

I set adrift my chocolate log
on seas of peas and cream
laughing as my head fell off
I dreamt...the strangest dream
A beautiful poem of love to lock up in a special padded room ..whilst wearing one of those lovely backwards jackets with the tie down straps !!

If i don't see you .. i know i wont cry
The days may seem long .. but i know i'll get by
And if i don't kiss you.. a tear i won't shed
But i know i'll dream of it..as i lie in my bed

If i don't hold you .. i won't fall apart
I'll get back the pieces .. you stole from my heart

You told me you..loved me.. you just loved yourself
Was i just a book ..you put back on the shelf ?

love is a book..  written over again
And every new chapter can be .. pleasure or pain
A story that comes from .. a feeling inside
A journey thats travelled with a blindfolded guide

Now my story's over ..as another begins
Love is sometimes a game.. that the heart never wins
I loved you .. i lost you..you threw me away
Now i hope as i wait to find real love someday.
This is an updated version of a poem that i wrote a few years back  which was published in a book called ' between a laugh and a tear ' , i've added a new verse and re-written the last verse .
