You
You took your heart and then your dreams
and through your smile passed them on.
With your first touches you shared yourself
and gave me an awareness to build upon.
When your eyes look deeply into mine,
my heart ascends to dizzy heights.
The spiritual emanates from the physical
creating paradisiacal delights.

Only Trying To Help
My toothbrush appeared bent this morning,
I could tell it didn’t look well.
So I picked it up to straighten it,
but for some reason it gave out a yell.
I asked my brush what was the trouble
and he said he preferred to be bent,
and please don’t try to straighten me again
my shape was intentionally meant.

Die
Are there times when your spirit goes missing
and you don't know what to do?
Do you get a feeling of anxiety and loneliness
and a grey cloud hangs over you?
Are there times when your spirit goes missing
and you don't know where it's gone?
You're smiling as though you have no worries,
what will you do when it has gone?

The Third Eye
My mother had a third eye in her forehead,
but it was an eye that I couldn’t see.
She told fortunes to anyone who asked her
from the tea leaves of drained cup of tea.
The people thought my mum was marvellous
because what she said always came true,
but unfortunately she no longer reads tea leaves,
because tea bags leave no residue.

The Quest for Ecstasy
Fingers touch and entwine
until they separate and wander.
Tongues touch and taste
whilst fingers delve then linger.
A desire for much more
whilst touching excites.
The closeness of the caress
causes passions to further ignite.
Tongues combine with fingers
in the quest for ecstasy.
The taste of what was promised
brings forth pure rhapsody.

All I See Is You
When I close my eyes
all I see is you,
you’re on my mind
the whole night through.
I wish something else
would take your place,
but all I see is you
and your smiling face.
I can’t understand
after all this time
why your still here
in my mind.
I know we’re finished
and you moved on,
but memories remain
and you haven’t gone.

Yesterday Blues
Oh for the yesterdays, filled with sincerities,
togetherness, love, and future harmony.
Shouts of laughter were unashamedly loud,
today there’s silence beneath a shroud.
Yesterday once promised endless tomorrows
full of opportunities with no regrets or sorrows.
Tomorrows promises have now vanished from sight
along with my reason, hope, and fight.

As A Lad
Copper Knob or Ginger Nut
meant I’d got red hair,
and that’s what I was called
by everyone everywhere.
They also used this rhyme
with no concern or care.
And as a lad, their sense of humour
I really didn’t share.
‘Ginger Nut fell in the cut
and frightened all the fishes.
A whale came up
and swallowed him up,
and that was the end of Ginger Nut!

A Lazy Afternoon
Beneath a blue summer’s sky
I lay in a thick carpet of grass
looking at the wispy clouds,
as they slowly drifted pass.
I became lost in that moment
and was absorbed by the day.
A warm breeze kissed my body,
which took me further away.
I was floating in the heavens
whilst birds sang their song.
This was a vision of paradise,
as sure as the day was long.

Tut and Sigh
Your ice-cold eyes and plastic kisses
display your contempt for me.
I don’t know why I tolerate you,
you’re such a misery.
Your continual moans and groans
bring deafness to bear.
The Medusa I would rather face
despite her stony stare.
Enough’s enough, time has run out,
I’m off to watch paint dry.
This is far better than seeing you
and hearing your tut and sigh.
