The Close Of Day
Tis the end of day
And the sun has begun to set
I mourn this dream
In verse I pen a wreath
To bid farewell
Soon the night shall call
In darkness I dwell
For no man can sustain alone
A love who’s heart
Has none to call upon
And none can wait forever
For hope to fulfil a dream
So it is laid to rest
That only a kiss could save
Before the close of day

End Scene Of A Movie
The credits rolled
A register of names
Now consigned to memory
The final moments
Passed into history
All in the end scene of a movie
Leaving me wondering
Have I been moved at all
What token of thought
Or feeling have I touched
Have I learnt anything
Or will I care to remember
Its over, its been done
Now the credits roll
Names to a soundtrack
Playing out

Lovers In Arms
Passion explores
New avenues of the soul
Bringing with it fire
Burning lips kiss
Hot breath embracing
Each sensual touch
Lovers in arms
Moving in the night
A dance of desire
A serenade of passion
Eyes hold firm
Another’s longing gaze
Teeth bite against lips
A faint taste of blood
A racing heart
Telling its own tale
Where lovers in arms
Lay in the night

Moving On Alone
A heartbreak lingers
Amid each stifled step
A shuffle of the feet
And a heavy sigh
The night seems endless
And the world bigger
This is a different kind
Of loneliness
It hurts and draws tears
Feels like no other
Pain known before
Something has ended
A time has come
To move on
And move on alone
A heavy hardship
For a broken heart
Lingers in a stifled step

What The Day May Bring
Let us see what the day brings
and hope we have the strength of mind
to guide our decisions well
let our hearts be pure in thought
and watch over those we love
let challenges be overcome
that we may smile at days end
with those we hold closest
let us celebrate life this day
as we stand together
let us see what the day brings
unafraid and ready for anything

A Morning Poem
I greet the morning air
with half sleep filled eyes
the damp of morning dew
taken in with each breath
slowly light breaks through
waking me fully into the day
thoughts stir I remain unmoved
greeting the morning air
I look to the streets ahead
to the journey I must make
I say a quiet prayer
to the spirit of the poets
heart, mind and soul
let this day not fall

A morning poem for the muse
A morning poem for the muse
~
Every morning I wake
I picture you beautiful
Like the rising sun
You bring light to my life
A new beginning to my soul
If I forget to say it
Always let it be known
You are beautiful
Kind of heart and nature
A loving friend
A soul companion
What more could I ask
Than all that you are
I picture you each morning
To see you beautiful

The Love Of A Good Woman
What would a man not give
For the love of a good woman
Someone to share the days
Whether they are good or bad
The support and encouragement
Of someone close to the heart
Someone who just, understands
And is there when needed
There is an age old saying
Behind every great man exists
The love of a good woman
What would a good man not give
For that to ring true

A prayer for her
A prayer for her
~
Watch over her
with a kind devotion
give her love
and listen to her
help her to smile
and keep her safe
watch over her
with a tender care
hold her hand
when she needs
wipe away her tears
and be kind
she is beautiful
in so many ways
a perfect soul
in a imperfect world
I ask for nothing
in my own name

Words on paper
Words on paper
~
Just words on paper
Where a story is told
An emotion revealed
Or a love laid to rest
Where a dream begins
An ambition is spoken
Perhaps a whim of fancy
Takes charge of the pen
To write what is written
Letters forming words
Shapley and beautiful
Expressions of a soul
Or a mind at play
There across the page
Words on paper
Written to have their say
