Down the years I have mused about my life, my friends, and other things in general,
What follows is that meandering musing,
some of it real, some not, but all of it heartfelt
this is set out in a kind of chronological order, or as close to it as doesn't matter
Welcome to the musing of a man growing old as disgracefully as possible :-)

Art is ARt is ART,
And
as such it will be confrontational to someone,
And
will at some point in its existence,
Piss
someone off every minute of the day

Interview with CLiPiCs
The Art of Darkness
When
you offer up your heart and soul
And
pour yourself into a relationship
Only
to have it spat back into your face
And
your heart ripped out and trampled under foot
Right
before your own eyes
And
when you attempt any kind of damage limitation
To be
laughed at almost hysterically
Leaving
you to hide in a dark corner
With
the tears streaming down your face
Feeling
every raw nerve being scraped again and again
And
yet you go on hoping for better
Optimistically
hoping for sunrise
When
in reality there is only the night and darkness
The
darkness of her nasty mouth and wicked laugh
In it
all there is one glimmer of light,
The
children you made are beautiful and bright
And
young as they are they can see the truth
As you
retreat further you feel it stir
Deep
inside it fights back
Your
spirit, that wonderful human thing
It’s
still there unbroken, just a little bent
So you
escape into your art
And
pour into it your heart
But
art has a dark side too
And it
can bite you opening up the wounds
Making
you raw once again
Facing
the darkness from within your light
And so
yet again you retreat into the night
Pulling the legs off ants
The
trouble with small minded, self-centred bigots, is the inability to see the
truth of the wider universe, the one that doesn’t revolve around their pathetic
little selves
To be
so afraid of the reality of the world that they have to hide behind the so
called “power” of their bitter words and twisted minds
to
live a life in constant fear of the unknown, fear of other cultures, sexual
preferences, hell even poetry is scary for the small minded as they don’t
understand it, so it must be feared and hated, just like the blacks are hated,
the gays are hated, and the “towel heads” are hated, and anyone with a
different point of view are hated
The
inability to understand that others see the world in a much more beautiful
light and can see the truth in other people’s feelings and views
The
world is full of beautiful people, all willing to share and enjoy others views,
cultures and generosity of soul
what
terrible shallow lives to lead, that the beauty of other minds has to be
shackled for them to enjoy their feeble little selves, how great a victory, to
trap such beautiful souls merely to satisfy their own selfish needs, to feel
pride in watching one more shining beacon of beauty extinguished, leaving the
world darker, bringing it ever closer to their dark little twisted minds
It
just reminds me of the nasty little spoilt child pulling the legs off an ant
for the fun of it
For
all the sweet souls trapped in a prison of hatred and fear
Written
for a female friend who survived twenty five years of this kind of marriage
Helpless
I sit
and watch as the sadness seeps into the face before me
Watching
with growing desperation as the face slowly crumples like tissue
Feel
the aching in my heart as the eyes start to redden
Seeing
the tears well up in the sockets until with a sob they overflow
Spilling
out onto the cheeks leaving streaks in the dirt
As
they course down the face of utter despair
Washing
over the quivering lips from which escapes yet more sobbing
Falling
like raindrops from the chin to splash upon the floor
My
hearts aches and breaks
And I
want to reach out and cuddle and comfort the tortured soul before me
Helplessly
I find I can offer no solace
I turn
my back with a heavy heart
And
walk away from the mirror
I
Loved You
I
loved you
You
were sweet
You
were fun
You
were hot
You
pulled the world from under my feet
You
might as well have used a gun
On
my life’s landscape you became a blot
I
loved you
When
I saw you my heart would race
You
made me shiver and shake
You
made dark skies brighten
Now
I can’t look in your face
Now
my heart is one big ache
Now
you make my throat tighten
I
loved you
I
thought you were the best
The
fun we had in our bed
I
was so happy you were my wife
You
ripped my heart from my chest
Now
I just wish you outta my head
Just
get the fuck outta my life
I
loved you
Now
I don’t even like you
Bookending
I
feel that I have bared the darker moments of my life of late, and it is time to
redress the balance a little, I am in truth, like most, a complex creature
capable of deep dark moments and thoughts, I am also, as some here will
testify, a cheeky little sod !
But
there is another side of me too, the side of me that sees beauty in many
things, from my children, to a cloud in the sky
So
as a kind of Bookend to I Loved You
Definitely
a dark image for the emotions it has stirred not just in myself but in all the
people who have read it, to Helpless the darkest moment of all, when you
realise there is nothing to do except ride out the storm of your mind and
emotions
the
good thing that comes from these darker moments is the reawakening of the
truths of how wonderful life can be, the emotions these moments bring to the
fore are real, and the desire to share them is too,
Bookending
Wrapped
in your arms and listening to your breathing
Lying
on your sweet breasts feeling them move under my head as you breathe
With
my arm across your belly and my hand curled around your hip
I can
feel your breath in my hair as you talk
I will
wallow in the wonderful moment of being with you
Feeling
each other just being there
Listening
to your voice in your chest and in my ears
Running
my hand gently across your stomach and tracing every sweet contour
Moving
it lower and just brushing the edges of your hair
Sliding
my hand gently into the sweet little crease between groin and thigh
And
still the aroma of our lovemaking fills the air
Feeling
the warmth of you on my fingers the tenderness of your touch
Kissing
you gently where my head rests on your chest
Feeling
your warm breasts give as my head turns to let me kiss your sweet soft skin
Your
leg on mine touching all the way along our bodies
Oh
dear god to feel you on every inch of me
To
feel your warmth
Your
love
Oh
dear god to feel you on every inch of me
To
feel your soft skin on my face
On my
lips
On my
tongue
Your
warmth and tenderness and caring and sweetness
I want
you now, to be safe where you belong in my arms,
In my
bed curled up warm and comfortable
With
my hands on you stroking and caressing your tired body
And
relaxing you into peace and calm
Where
you and I can love each other without hurry
Knowing
that when we are done we can begin again
With
our deep seated desire for each other
Just a
touch here,
A
caress there
A
breathy kiss here
A
whispered I love you against your skin
Even
though tired, making love in such a gentle way with each other
Just
to be joined
Just
to be as one
Just
to share each other
To
surrender wholeheartedly to the joy of being in each other’s arms
To
give it all up
No
more walls
No
more barriers to hide behind
To be
completely free and open
To let
you deep inside of me to where the real “I” is
To let
you wrap the real “I” in your love and nurture it
To
reach deep inside of you and feel your heart beating in my grasp
To
hold your fragile heart in my hands and cradle it
With
such tenderness and care like a new-born
To
keep it safe from harm and let it grow again
To
hold it tenderly and wash it clean with my tears of love and joy
Wash
away all of the taints placed upon it before me
To
mend the broken areas
To
feel it beating stronger with every touch of my love
To
feel it begin to warm in response to my touch
Feeling
the warmth radiate from within
And
bathe in the glorious waves of love pouring from it
To
bask in the glow of you and your love
To let
my tears flow because they don’t belong here anymore
Washing
away all of the previous hurt we’ve had to endure
To lie
washed up on the sunkissed shore of loves sweet paradise

First Kisses
Four passionate kisses . . .
The first kiss .
Would
be right on the top of your head,
As you
fall into my arms in an airport arrivals hall
Full
of the tenderness and love I feel for you
The second kiss . .
Would
be the most passionate full on the lips exploration of your mouth and soul
“First
kiss” you ever had in your whole life,
One
that would stay with you till the day you die
As you
feel all of my love pour into your soul
The third kiss . . .
Would
be on the inside of my own fingertips,
Which
I would then take and place against your heart
To
feel it beating against my kiss
The fourth kiss . . . .
Would
be against the inside of the hotel room door
My
lips caressing yours with my body pressed against you
So you
feel the kiss everywhere our bodies meet
Your
heart and mine synchronize
Beating
to the same rhythms
Sending
our love coursing through our veins
As our
souls mesh unfettered,
And
our love is released
Unburdened
by responsibility
Four passionate kisses . . . For the Romantics X X
A Friend in need
Or so
you plead
As my
money you bleed
Friends
like you
Are
what make me blue
As you
write another IOU
Not
another penny for you
A
friend in need
Is a
friend indeed
Or so
you plead
A
friend like you I don’t need
Breathe
In Out
In OUT
You
suck the oxygen from my life
IN
OUT
Dear
god . . . control, don’t lash out
IN
OUT
Your
nasty tongue, whips across my soul again
IN
OUT
Hate
filled words, causing me pain
IN
OUT
You
attack me yet again, and I stand here bewildered
IN
OUT
Why
do you do this, what drives you to be so mean?
IN
OUT
You
ask, I do, not good enough for you
Breathe
dammitt
IN
OUT
Where
is all the air, why are you so unfair
IN
OUT
I
turn my back, and walk away
IN
OUT
Followed
by yet more bile, more vitriol, so vile
IN
OUT
Gently
I close the door, and walk away once more
IN
OUT
My
stomach in a knot, and my heart in my boots
IN
OUT
Down
to the river, and stare into the water
IN
OUT
Thoughts
unbidden come to mind, who would care what they find
IN
OUT
The
river just goes on and ignores me, flowing gently past on its way to the sea
IN
OUT
The
ducks come to see, does he have bread for me ?
IN
OUT
I
stare unseeing at first, but their beauty starts to penetrate
IN
OUT
Their
trust in me not to harm, I raise my head and look about
IN
out
I
take in the view, and see the beauty all around
IN
out
The
sun is shining, and the birds sing
IN
out
And
once again my battered heart takes wing
Raw
and bare
To
discover there is no care
You
fall to the floor
Unable
to take more
Betrayed
and broken
The
love was only token
And
with a friend
It
feels like the end
We all
make mistakes
And
our hearts break
But
your friends feel your pain
And
rally to make you well again
You
are treasured for your soul
And we
want you to be whole
Your
friends are here for you
From a
heart that is true
For
a friend betrayed
The Sneer in Your Eyes
The
sneer in your eyes
Exposing
all the lies
Feeling
you watching me and waiting to pounce
Looking
at the empty bottle, wishing for an ounce
The
twisted things you say
You
think they'll make me stay
When
all they do is drive me further away
You
play the injured one
And I
think of the things you've done
Many
years ago, it should have ended
And
like a fool, you I defended
All
the rows and the anger
The
violence and the danger
Who
the fuck is you stranger?
But
now, heaven knows
I
stood and I took the blows
All
the years of drunkenness and deception,
Not
there for the birth, but oh yeah, for the conception
Where
were you when the lights went out?
In a
bar with my money, being the big gadabout
And
the phone didn't work, all I could do was shout
I am
done with your lies and your bullshit
No
longer will I stand here and be hit
It’s
over now, I'm done with you
Shaking
you off, like a dose of the flu
It’s
time for me to move on with my life
Time
to stop being your chattel, your wife
And
time to put an end to all the strife
Never
was this about our family
Never
did you even consider me
Told
me the kids made you proud
And
yet at them you rail so loud
You
spend all your life in a violent rage
Keeping
us trapped, with your words, in a verbal cage
But
all you have done is to make me brave
Now
this bird will fly free
Flying
away as the real me
Leaving
you to reflect
On
your lack of respect
Go
away with your tail between your legs
No
longer will I listen to your begs
Leaving
you with your life of dregs
Written
for a female friend who survived twenty five years of this kind of marriage
She Watches Over Me
Retreat
The
lash of your tongue
Cuts
into my soul
Deep,
sharp and long
Leaving
a gaping hole
I weep
as I bleed
Watch
my spirit leak
In
your eyes your need
To
make me weak
You
think you can win
You
think I am beat
Twisting
the knife of sin
Your
ire burns with fierce heat
You
scream like a fishwife
Not
caring who hears
You
try to destroy my life
And
laugh at my tears
My
wounds will heal
No
matter how you contrive
While
your spirit congeals
I know
I will survive
Through
slittted eyes
I
watch as you sneer
And
you spit more lies
You
can’t harm me in here
Here
in the warm and the dark
You
rave and you rant and howl
Here I
kindle and tend to the spark
Fanning
the flames of my soul
I lie
curled in a foetal ball
Your
wordstorm batters my ears
But
you can’t touch me at all
Because
in here I have no fears
Your
words fall from you lips, dripping with bile
And
spatter the floor at my side
Everything
you scream, vicious and vile
But in
here from you I can hide
I know
you want to destroy me
I know
I will fight back fiercely
I know
you will be the one lonely
I know
one day I will be free
You
think you have won out
You
think I am beat
But
this is not a rout
Just a
tactical retreat
One Day
A
wistful feeling
My
battered heart
Still
prepared to love
One
day, I whisper
Love
will come my way
I have
the time
To sit
and wait
Meanwhile
I sit
by the window
And
patiently pray
For
One Day
Lying
Lying
here propped on one elbow
Looking
down at your sleeping form
I
watch your eyes moving beneath your eyelids
What
do you see?
Do you
see the emotion in my face as we kiss?
Do you
see how my heart aches when I look at you?
Do you
see the changes you have made to me?
Do you
see how my smile reaches my eyes?
Pulling
the covers down
I gaze
upon your beauty
The
swell of your breasts
The
curve of your stomach
Entranced
I watch as you breathe
The
gentle rise and fall of your chest
Your
hair splayed upon the pillow
Your
lips curved in a small crinkle threatening a smile
Dare I
now push my luck . . . and the covers?
Uncovering
you completely
Looking
in wonder at your shape
You
give this awesome sight to me freely
And
allow me the freedom to live
I
watch as your stomach falls into the same rhythm as your chest
And
with a start I realise
My own
breathing has met the same rhythm
It
occurs that our lives have intertwined so much
That
we now breathe the same air
Not in
a physical sense any more
But in
an emotional sense
We
share so much
Every
little touch
Every
little sight
Every
little breath
I lean
on my elbow and gaze at your beauty
I
smile as I remember the last few hours
Just
how you feel in my arms
The
smell of your skin
Tired
from our exertions you fell asleep in my arms
Open
and giving you showed me your charms
My
heart aches for you to wake
Lying
here propped on one elbow
I lie
and wait
Patiently
Enjoying
the sight of you
Waiting
for you
In Your Arms
All of
this pain will one day become a verbal landslide and I will cry
And
when I am done I know I will be drained completely
So
tired that I know I would fall asleep in your arms
But
with a much lighter soul
Sleeping
with a crinkle smile
Waiting
for my body, soul and mind to recover
To
wake up to a brand new day
And a
spring in my step
The
crinkle turned into a beaming smile
Leaving
all the hurt behind
My
heart soaring into the future
My
chest no longer tight
Taking
deep breaths of the oxygen starved from my life
Rejuvenated
and alive again
The Smile on My Face
It
started with such hope and tears of joy
Now
it is my heart that weeps every day
Your
smile twisted into a sneer and a snarl
The
strident tones of anger that spill forth
The
smile on my face is fixed to fool you
You
can’t see the tears behind the facade
A
molehill becomes another Everest to climb
And
once again my heart sinks into my boots
Pulled
this way and that by emotions
How
can a heart so broken, be so full of love
The
smile on my face is fixed to fool you
You
can’t see the tears behind the facade
Hope
does spring eternal in the human heart
But
the miles from hurt to balm are many
My
soul and spirit wonder at the task ahead
And
look at what has gone before
The
smile on my face is fixed to fool you
You
can’t see the tears behind the facade
The
pic fresh from the printer blurs into total incomprehension
As
once again my eyes fill and then spill, leaving stains on the paper
The
little lips pressed to my face with such unconditional love
Rip
holes through my spirit and tear me apart with emotions
The
smile on my face is fixed to fool you
You
can’t see the tears behind the facade
To
be surrounded by all this beauty
And
to know that it came from spite
The
sun is shining bright in a blue sky
But
my blue heart is dark as night
The
smile on my face is fixed to fool you
You
can’t see the tears behind the facade
I
have a box, a special box with a special key
It
held my heart once before, and will do again
I
keep the key safe, around my neck, on a chain, just long enough
To
let it rest it’s warmth against the battered pump that is my heart
The
smile on my face is fixed to fool you
You
can’t see the tears behind the facade
The
day will come when I can reach for the key again
But
for now, I shall shut the box, and lock it safe from harm
With
a sigh I turn the key, the box blurs as my eyes yet again fill
And
then spill, leaving stains on the box, the key is slippery now
The
smile on my face is fixed to fool you
You
can’t see the tears behind the facade
With
weariness I reach up over my head
And
slip the chain into place, clasped at the back
I
know not how long, it will stay there unused
But
my heart knocks against my ribs, just to remind me
The
smile on my face is fixed to fool you
You
can’t see the tears behind the façade
You say You’re Fat
You
say you have stretch marks
I say
your kids are great
You
say you have lines on your face
I say
you have character and grace
You
say your bum is too big
I say
it fits in my hands
You
say you need the gym to get into shape
I say
your shape is just fine for me to love
You
say you’re far too fat
I say
it just means there are more of you to love
You
say you’re old
I say
you’re younger than me
You
say you have wrinkles
I say
I love the way your smile crinkles
You
say you’re no longer attractive
I say
let me judge that
You
say everything’s heading south
I say
I love the shape of your mouth
You
list 50 things wrong with you
I list
50 that are right with you
You
say how can you love me
I say
because you are you
You
say all of the above and more
I say
just get yourself through that bedroom door
You
say you’re skin is a mess
I say
it doesn’t make me love you less
You
say you want my opinion
I say
this is the truth about you
You
say your life is over and through
I say
you are beautiful and I see the real you
You
say you are insecure
I say
I’m not so sure
You
say do you still love me after all this time
I say
nothing and wrap you gently in my arms
You
say should I let my hair go grey
I say
I love your look anyway
You
say I’m feeling unhappy
I say
you always make me smile
You
say am I getting fat in the middle
I say
you still fit into my embrace
You
say that you are getting old
I say
I can still see the inner gold
You
say you think I need glasses
I say
I don’t need glasses to see your beauty
You
say you are no longer pretty
The
pieces lie scattered and shattered across the floor before me
If
this was a mirror, it would be seven years bad luck
I have
endured so many more years that that
I held
the whole in my hands and tenderly caressed the shape
Seeing
the wonders again that I thought were lost to me
Feeling
deep inside the warmth that it can bring
The
touch and the feel against my skin and in my heart so dear
I
swear there were times when I could feel it so near
I know
there were times when I felt the touch
How
did this come to be in my life right now, when I needed it most
Helping
me in my hour of need, and laying the ghost
But it
was a two way street and I gave what I took
I
stare forlornly at the shattered pieces scattered across the floor
And
wonder if I have the heart to go for more
Yet, I
know the answer to that question
The
strength I got from the closeness and tenderness and truth
Has
bolstered me, for now, and I know, beyond
These
pieces are not broken
Just
like a jigsaw, the picture can be made complete once more
But
where did I put the lid with the image on it
I
shall just have to use my memories
And oh
what memories they are, how close we became, and we went so far
The
words and the caring for each other mean so much
And I
know now that me, the darkness cannot reclaim
The
pieces lie scattered and shattered across the floor before me
As I
watch you take flight and into the sky you soar
The
tears on my face run down and into my smile
I can
taste the salt in them, but it is not bitter on my lips
And
even though it means you are no longer mine
The
words of the song are so true in every way
The
pieces lie scattered and shattered across the floor before me
But my
memory is good and I am a patient man
I open
the drawer and reach for the glue
Cast Adrift
Cast
adrift on the raging sea
No
sail to catch the wind and push me
A
broken rudder offers no guidance
The
night comes down like a dark blanket
Smothering
my senses and blotting out the stars
And
with it comes the cold, for the heat has left the day
The
waves crash over me and soak me with their salt
Sometimes,
I can see their approach and prepare
But
prepared or not I am still swamped and cold
And
there are the sneaky ones that come from nowhere
Smacking
me hard and thrusting me to the deck
Knocking
the breath from my lungs and leaving me gasping
No
matter how hard I try, no matter which way I look
The
constant battering gives me no respite
Exhausting
my fragile body and blinded senses
There
is no land that I can see, so safe landfall
There
is no welcoming beach with sweet soft sand
Out
here I know not how long the night will last
Drowned
by the waves, and battered by the winds
The
roller coaster ride seems to have no let up for me
My
ship is lost somewhere out there in the night
Alone
in this dark and violent maelstrom
Tossed
this way and that
I
close my eyes, and the tears come
The
salt tastes better than the bitter sea
But
that is little comfort to me now
I rail
at the violent sea and sky
My
voice is lost upon the wind
Screamed
from my mouth
Carried
away to die unheard in the void
I hope
and pray for this storm to end
For
this madness to relent
I fear
I may be hoping in vain
Words upon a screen
Just
words upon a screen I know
Typed
today and tomorrow gone
Watching
as my emotions leaking from my soul
Will
it ever stop, or will I breathe no more for it to end
The
wounds are deeper than ever before, cutting through me
Twisting
and thrusting to my very core
Just
words upon a screen I know
Typed
today and tomorrow gone
Fleeting
moments in time grasped eagerly
Enjoyed
too much, or maybe not enough
Could
it be that was all we ever had
I
believed in so much more
Just
words upon a screen I know
Typed
today and tomorrow gone
Then
why this pain, this incredible hurt
Tearing
at my chest and ripping out my heart
Once
it swelled with uncontrolled joy
It now
lies shrivelled in despair
Just
words upon a screen I know
Typed
today and tomorrow gone
The
anger and the rage rise like bile in my throat
Something
needs to be hit and right bloody now
But I
know that is futile and wastes my fragile spirit
The
spirit I will need to recover from this torment
Just
words upon a screen I know
Typed
today and tomorrow gone
I
reach out to touch you as I did before
But
you’re not there, as you weren’t then
My
hand lies empty, as does my heart
Bereft
of hope, shrivelling with every beat
Just
words upon a screen I know
Typed
today and tomorrow gone
Once
the world was bright and full of wonder
Now
the darkness just closes in surrounding me
Threatening
to envelope me once more
I hate
that place as much as this pain
Just
words upon a screen I know
Typed
today and tomorrow gone
Where
do these tears come from, I have cried so many
The
well should be empty by now
How can
I go on producing yet even more ?
My
soul is like a desert, arid and lifeless
Just
words upon a screen I know
Typed
today and tomorrow gone
Xmas Tears
Eyes
sparkling with delight at the bright colours
Twinkling
Christmas lights reflected in them
Beaming
smiles looking up with joy
Faces
poking out from scattered wrappings
Squeals
of excitement as every new gift is revealed
Unabashed
pleasure at what Santa has brought
The
joys of being a child at Xmas
And
all the magic it seems to be
Oh to
be so innocent again
Never
to have to hide the pain
If
heartbreak was only physical
A band
aid would help
Detached
from such unbridled joys
Seeing
it all and yet, not
Tears
running down the inside
Unseen
on this day, but they are there
Tears
of loss of pain
For
those not here
And
yet the pain can be dispelled
A hug,
and a kiss thank you from a child
A
happy little face pressed against yours
Sweet
innocent little kisses of gratitude
And
everything else pales into insignificance
The
moment passes and the colours brighten again
A
child’s joy banishing the grey
So
easily washing the pain away
Changing
the reason for the tears
Thank
(insert deity here) for the children
Torn to shreds
Right
about now, that is how I feel
My
world lies in tatters at my feet
To Sleep
To lay
my head on the pillow in peace
To
sleep with no fear of what the night may hold
To let
my eyes close with no tears
Seeping
through my lashes making my face cold
To
sleep and know I will dream
And
not wake screaming from the fears
To not
have to fear stretching out across the bed
To be
able to reach out and touch a soft and receptive soul
To
sleep and feel the true rest
To wake
and feel that I am blessed
To
open my eyes and see others shining back at me
Full
of love and warmth and care
To
know when I wake the love in my heart
Will
be reflected and be yours to share
To
sleep, never to wake again
Would
that free me from this pain?
Thoughts
of suicide in my head
Would
I really be better off dead?
Oh yes,
my own pain would be at an end
But
what of the agony for you my friend
How
much sorrow would I sow?
I’d
not be here to know
So to
sleep I now go again
Knowing
tomorrow brings yet more pain
But my
heart is strong, I feel it beating in my chest
I’ll
open my eyes once more, and try again to do my best
To
sleep and wake refreshed
That’s
what I will do
I try to be me
My
soul is empty and my heart aches
Hiding
behind my usual facade no longer works
It
never does when frivolity is forced
Each
smile, each joke, just accents the pain
The
mess that I feel, the uselessness I fear
This
feeling of despair and failure
Tears
at every part of me
The
loves that have departed from my heart
Then
and now, rip into my very being
Making
me question my every move
Making
me wonder at life’s cruelties
Each
time a little joy shines its light
I
question, will it last, is it real
When
will happiness once again I feel
Will I
ever be free of this agony?
How
long does this have to go on?
And
how much more can one heart take
Each
turn I consider leads to another dead end
Why
has the sunshine departed from me?
Once,
life was so full for me
Now,
only fear and uncertainty
I sit
in the dark and wonder why
Here
it comes again, another time to cry
They
say there is a light at the end of the tunnel
Why
then, do I feel like I’m in a funnel?
My
life spiralling down into nothing
What
will I become, what will I leave behind?
All I
have is my art and my words
Some
legacy that, some gift for the world !
My
inner strength ebbs away like the tide
The
determination left like flotsam on the sand
My
friends wonder where I went
On self-destruction
I seem hell bent
And
yet I force a smile, a funny gag
But
deep inside I know I am the joke
My Son, we are Friends
Seventeen years
you were in my head
And
the same again and more in my life
All
those years of longing and wishing
All
those years of nurture and care
For
nought, without a thought
You
stab me in the back
All
the times I covered for you
All
the times I took the blame
And
now with a word or two
You
plant me squarely in the frame
Protect
yourself with silence and lies
And
stand aside with a grin on your face
You
watch as I crumble under your words
Every
syllable a dagger through my heart
You
continue on as though nothing has changed
As my
heart disintegrates into dust
My
only reason for all the pain I have endured
And
you sit there, to my pain anew, inured
The
pain I never ever thought I’d feel
You
crushed me under your heel
As I
sit here writing this with my face awash with tears
You
lie in your bed not caring of the hurt you caused
I know
that with a little time and reflection
You
may understand the sadness in my eyes
And I
know your soul is truly good
You
will see and make amends
And I
will take you in my arms
And
say, “My son, we are friends”
It Ain’t a Sin
It ain't a sin to make a fire with a log
nor to sit with a glass of wine upon a rug
to want you in my arms
to sit and gaze at your charms
It ain't a sin to drink in your every curve
to feel your beauty in my every nerve
your body caressed with my eyes
our wanting has no time for lies
to touch your skin with my fingers
to kiss you and let my lips linger
to want your hands upon my skin
to want and desire you pulling me right in
to watch as your nipples crinkle and stiffen
because I kiss and breathe gently on them
to watch as your face flushes with desire
and to know that the heat is not just from the fire
feeling the temperature as it starts to rise
and see the desire burning in your eyes
for the fire within rekindled X X X

Heartstrings
Dedicated to my
homeland
when it's all over and done
take what's left and with care
cast it to the sea to carry me
let it drift with the wind outward
to look back at a homecoming view
with a happy heart it will come to rest
settling gently in the place it all began

SweetLips
You
said you wouldn't
I
never thought we would
But
that moment of hesitation
Wiped
away by the gentle brush
Of lip
on lip, mouth on mouth
Moving
toward acceptance apace
The
warmth of your sweet embrace
Our
arms enfolding us both
As we
abandoned all pretence
To
give in to the inevitable
To
feel you pressed against me
In
response to my kisses
Watching
your half closed eyes
As the
emotions take us
Too
long for either of us it's been
You
called me sweetlips
Told
me I kissed so tender
You
brought that out in me
The
passion tempered with care
That
moment we both took the dare

Cherished Freedom
Allowed
to let go, relax and just "Be" in the moment, no need to
"Be" aware
Safe
enough to fall asleep without bad dreams,
Wrapped
in arms that cherish and hold, not restrain,
To
wake up and hear another’s breath without fear
To
allow a head to rest against your heart, no worries of it being crushed
There’s a gap in my arms where you belong
There’s a voice missing from my song
There is something about a dress
Me, you don't need to impress
You say you want to go on a date
For that I wouldn’t dare to be late
You say you are concerned about your weight
Nothing compared to the years I had to wait
All the years spent missing you
When I could have been kissing you
You make me Cry
You make me cry
I think of you and the tears threaten
To spill down my face and cascade to the floor
I see your face in my mind
And my chest heaves unable to absorb air
Shuddering with the effort just to breathe
I see your smile
The lovely little crinkle as it forms
And know that the world will be alight when it does
I see the way you walk
And my legs fold beneath me
No strength to hold me upright
I see the shape of you
Silhouetted in the doorway
I know every inch of your stunning beauty
I hear your voice
So soft and gentle in my ears
But through the tears I am unable to smile
I read the words
Imprinted on my brain
The tears, like rain, start to flow
I see your joy
The succour it provides, so small
And know I have no place in it
I see all this
And yet my love burns undimmed
Fly free my love and soar into the skies
17/05/2011
Right Now
Right now you are making me want
to grab you and smother you with kisses
I will be soft and gentle and let you feel the tenderness within me
I will allow you to slow down and
gather your thoughts and feelings
Of course I can't keep my hands
out of this, and I stroke your hair
Feeling it glide through my
fingers and watching it cascade onto your shoulders
Those shoulders with your hair on them are inviting
my caress
This leads to me getting close to your face, and
smelling your perfume
Your shampoo gazing into your eyes as the distance
closes
You
do know that I love the way you use your mouth
the sideways talk and the smile dancing across your face
I look at you and want to be in your embrace
and kiss your sweet soft lips North and South
the sideways talk and the smile dancing across your face
I look at you and want to be in your embrace
and kiss your sweet soft lips North and South
A multitude of many armed metal monsters
Marching across many miles of moor and marshland
Falling Deeper
I can't get you outta my head
At night alone in my bed
I see you asleep and calm
Your tousled hair cascades across the pillow
Like waves upon a shore it moves with you
The perfume of our love lingers in the air
Your face now so peaceful
Just a short while ago
So animated with desire
We rode along the currents of our passion
Until we both are too spent for more
Sprawling across the bed in sated fatigue
Sheets crumpled and cast aside bedraggled
Clothes scattered in a trail from the front door
Where this moment started with a kiss hello
Then a deep and tender kiss of honest love
Leading to a handful of butt dragged
Up close and personal in a growing desire
Hands in hair and reaching inside clothes
Feeling the parts that are desperate for a touch
Your nipples stiffening with my touch and desire
Hardening in your greedy grasp
Hands down jeans and feeling heat
Lace knickers drawn to one side
And then down your legs, with the aroma of you
Filling my nose and driving me to dive right in
Tasting your desire on my tongue as you pull me in
Your wetness spreading on my face
Too late for niceties now I lay you down
There in the hall, there on the floor
Raising my head long enough to lose my shirt
And even more exciting long enough for you to grab
Pulling me back in to your open and willing embrace
Your hands in my hair, pulling me up to
kiss my wet face
We stagger towards the bed losing the
last of clothes along the way
I watch as your sweet butt moves in
front of me
Enticing me to follow, increasing the
heat I feel
Watching you as I harden like never
before
Noting the delight in your eyes as you
see
The power you hold over me with your
beauty
Fills my chest to bursting point, so
hard to breathe
My joy at being with you makes my eyes
overflow
To have reached this point in life for
us both
Was destined, of that I am so sure, so
certain
You know it too I can see it in your
eyes
As once more we fall into each other’s
passion
Your warmth enveloping me with wet
desire
Driving deep inside and feeling you
close tight on me
Falling Deeper into your embrace
I know how sweet your kisses are
And give them all back to you
Watching the excitement in your eyes as
I drive you to the brink
Feeling the tremors and quivering of
your passions deep inside
Exploding on me as your eyes snap open
wide to see my smile
You see my joy at your pleasure in my
eyes
My heart aches with the beauty of this
moment
As you reach up to kiss me with warm
wet sweetlips
Everything I do, comes back to you . .
.
I know how sweet your kisses are . . .
Falling Deeper . . .
Smitten
Oh my days I am smitten
You fit me like a glove, or a mitten
You make me all soft and fluffy, like a kitten
Oh my days
I am smitten
When
you can still hear someone's voice when they're not there
That's
not a fling
When
their perfume lingers in your nostrils on a windy day
That’s
not a fling
When
you can still feel their hand in yours as you walk the street alone
That’s
not a fling
When
you can still taste their lips on yours after you brush your teeth
That’s
not a fling
When
just the thought of them makes your heart sing
That’s
not a fling
When
the hours spent apart seem like years
That’s
not a fling
When
the first thought in your head as you wake is them
That’s
not a fling
When
the last thought in your head as you drift off to sleep is them
That’s
not a fling
When
there is a trail of scattered clothes across the floor and loud screams coming
from the Kitchen table amid a mess of uneaten and forgotten food with upended
chairs littering the floor because of the need to get naked and down to the
business of having rampant sex right bloody now
THAT'S
a Fling
Why
Unbidden the tears fall from my
eyes
No rhyme no damn reason at all
What triggered this sudden despair?
I am not sad, I am not broken
hearted
So why can I not control this
flow
There are no dark thoughts in
my head
Whirling through my brain
I do not miss the love of my
life
For she is not gone
Why then do I feel this way and
cry?
I know
you will break my heart
I know
you won't mean to hurt
I know
it will wreck me for years to come
I know
the pain will not recede
I know
the walls will go up again
I know
I will cry yet more tears
I know
once more I will watch as love walks away from me and
I know
that I will yet again learn to cope
All day rattling around in my brain
And rolling around in my mouth
Dancing across my lips
Feeling it shape itself on my tongue
The lingering taste of you
Awakening my senses with a bang
I am so glad I asked you
It has its own melody
And all day has been singing its song
It reminds me of West Side Story
And the song about meeting
So now I know your name
Flustered
Flustered,
a cross between Flattered and Lusted
I
realise now you were just flattered
And
Lust played its part on you too
It
wasn't just my face your sweetlips touched
You
reached deep inside and awoke my heart
For me
I predicted how this would end
My
heart battered again, yet this time prepared
There
never was going to be room in your heart for me
So
many doors locked tight, so many things in the way
I have
no regrets and walk away upright and calm
No
wailing and gnashing of teeth for me
Yes I
hurt for I love you deeply
And no
matter how brief the flight
I
spread my wings and soared with joy
And
you did too, I saw it in your eyes
But I
saw the doubts there too flickering
Like
someone hiding in the Shadows
And so
it slowly fades into nothing
Leaving
behind our original friendship
We
will smile and hug when we meet
And no
one will ever guess at the hurt
You
never fell like me
You
were just flattered
And
lust played its part too
But
like a candle it burned down
It’s
easier this way, no huge row
No big
showdown or recriminations
No
long drawn out weeping and crying
Just
let it drift gently away
I told
you I would walk away
But
you will always make me smile
When I
see you my breath will still hitch
But
I'll keep that inside, away from you
See
you next week my friend (I love you)
Under the Desert Stars
The
stars above us floating
Reminding
us how small we are
Letting
us know how big we are
You
and I, the size of the planet
I'd
love to see the light in your eyes
As our
lips touch and the passion flows
I want
to be the man who you trust enough to kiss
I want
you to want me and not be scared of my touch
My
hands caressing your neck
And
following the curve of your shoulder
Running
my hands through your hair
Feeling
the silky strands on my fingers
Under
the desert stars cuddling close and warm
On a
blanket you and I to feel you this way
Circling
your waist with my arms to draw into my embrace
Feeling
your arms around me holding me tight with desire
To
look into your eyes and see your want in them
And I
want to stroke that gorgeous butt
Running
my hands over the sweet curves
Making
me want you more than I already do
I want
to feel your breath on my skin
And
smell the aroma of your hair
I want
to make love with you
Under
the desert stars
To lie
on a blanket with you
Warm
inside from sharing our desire
Safe
in the knowledge that is real
No
need for fear no need to run and hide
As the
sun descends into night
The
warmth of the day replaced
By the
warmth of our love
Wrapped
together under the desert stars
Couplets
We Come To Love Not By Finding
the Perfect Person,
But by learning To See an
Imperfect Person Perfectly
Nobody
looks good in the light of a Chandelier
But
you break this rule my beautiful dear
Your
body / face is the flame that sets my soul on fire
Day after Week, after Month,
after Year
Is there Life Before Death ?
Veni,
vidi, visa - I came, I saw, I shopped!
Cafe olé .... Spanish coffee
How can I tell you
How much I'll miss you
If you won't go away
Ponderings
If you
were a sea I'd swim you,
If you
were a bridge I'd cross you,
If you
were a whistle I'd . . . never mind.
The old man's head raised in
gentle supplication
Set to catch the dying embers
of the day
The last light bathing his face
with gold
Giving hope for tomorrows
coming dawn
My hands caressing your neck
Not squeezing your throat
Running my fingers through your hair
Not grabbing it to pull you around
Walking
hand in hand that night
Never
had it felt so right
Your
fingers curled through mine
I
thought we had crossed a line
Our
breath a mist on the cold night air
Your
lips brushing mine with a touch so fair
Stopped
beneath a tree your arms enfolding me
The
joy of your caress setting my heart free
Hair
Why do I feel empty and lost
We never started
We stumbled and stuttered
So why does it hurt
The anticipation, the
excitement
Futile I know
But you cut right through me
Into my soul
Every day the expectation of
your message
Not meant to be
Deflated and disappointed me
But you are more
Your life is meant to be safe
And oh so normal
I never meant to harm you
Nor would I
You are deep in my soul
And my heart
And there you will stay
Forevermore
You Remind Me
You remind me that there is a man in here
You are making me warm inside again
And driving out the bitter cold winds
The maelstroms of bile and hate
That have swept across my soul
Being driven aside and pushed away
Letting the light and warmth back in
To
wake up looking into your eyes
The
scent of us in the air
The
warmth of us
No
need for sheets
The
feel of your skin on mine
I can
feel you in my soul
Curled
up safe in there
My
emotion like blankets
Wrapped
you like a babe in arms
To wake up and see your eyes
Looking back at me knowing
That the night before had been one of beautiful lovemaking
To make love with you is truly awesome
To know every beautiful inch of your body
To kiss every beautiful inch of your body
To watch your eyes widen with desire
To feel you accept me and draw me in
To share our desires and wants
To feel that tired that can only come from the
letting go
To wallow in the beauty of us
To enjoy the depth of feeling we share
Oft I wondered
Oft
wondered if you thought of me
The
special bond we shared
The
instant connection, so strong
The
amazing chemistry
Your
smile stayed with me through the years
The
sparkle in your eyes when we kissed
The
way your lips would curl into a grin
And
then that sweet tinkling giggle in my ears
The
tingle down my spine when you were near
The
way you fit so perfectly in my arms
The
charge in the air between us, sparking
And
all the missing you down the years
Always
hiding my desire, so sad but true
Not
being able to say what I felt, you weren't mine to have
To
step away and hold it all back
I had
to watch someone else kiss you
And
then from the blue, the years just fell away
You
came to me once more, with that smile
From
nought to rekindle in a moment, just a click
Special
then, and special now, I hope you're back to stay
I know
the miles between us are a bind
And I
know that you are you, and I am me
Our
lives so different now, so far apart
But
seeing your smile again, I don't mind
The
friendship we had
Always
so good
The
lifting of our hearts
Once
again makes me glad
I'm
just glad you're (virtually) here again
And
sporadic though it may be
To
chat and see your sweet face my love
I
always did, and I always will X X
Shut
Up
I despise you for this
Never in all of my life
Have I wished someone dead
Now you are taking the piss
You’ve never been a wife
You’ve just fucked with my head
To make me sink so low
Drag me down to the gutter
Your level, not mine, you evil witch
Dirty lowdown blow by blow
Smiling like your mouth won't melt butter
I'm really fucking done with your evil you bitch
Your pretence to the world of being so sweet
How you care for your kids with a heart of gold
Your cutesy little, little giggle and smile
Your death right now would be a treat
Stuck deep in the ground and going cold
Over broken glass for that, I'd walk a mile
Newsflash, shock, horror, this isn't your year
All of your shit cast around is coming back
Hypocrite, when opposed, I hear you cry
I shall kick back and smile at your fear
You play the saint, but trust, your future now is
black
All that’s left is to run and hide,
or better yet shut the fuck up and die
A big balcony with a sunset view,
Music drifting up from a bar somewhere below,
Wine and nibbles from room service,
Sprawled naked on a chaise longue,
As the sun finally disappears into the sea
So do me deep inside your sweet embracing warmth,
You sucking me deeper in
The look in your eyes one of pure wanton desire,
Your fingers digging into my skin as you pull me closer,
Our mouths meet and lips open
To allow the penetration of tongues matching the
penetration below
Despite the pain they give
They are everything
You lose your own
And give everything
To make their future
It’s been so long
I can't remember when
To wake and feel your butt pressed to me
Soft against the hard morning gift
I reach out and touch
You don't pull away
Nor spit vile words
You pressed closer
I nuzzled into your neck
And reached down to caress
Your legs gently parted
The softness of you was in my hand
The hardness of me was pressing into you
I felt you open to accept me
And felt that sweetness of
Being enveloped by wet warmth
I looked into your eyes and you said . . .
can I hear that boy . . . . Does he have football
today ?
I
Can't Wait
I can't wait
To see you
Expectation
Frustration
I know you're sweet
I want to taste
To See
To Touch
To Savour
Every inch
Show me
Let me
Appreciate
Your beauty
How I want to be there with you right now
Kissing your gorgeous face
Holding you in my arms watching you play
Watching the way your breasts move
In rhythm with your hand
Seeing your eyes glisten with the desire
Hearing your breath quicken
My hardness pressed against your side
You can feel the effect you are having on me
Leaking onto your skin
Your legs splayed wide allowing you to reach
And allowing me to watch I kiss you again
As your fingers slide inside once more
Your breathing increases as does mine
In synch we both approach your moment
Together locked in this dance of love
You stiffen and gasp a sharp intake of breath, the
warning
You arch up off the bed and into my arms
I hold you tight in love's sweet embrace
Your eyes flicker open and shut
A moan escapes your mouth just as I kiss your lips
I inhale your moan and share your pleasure
At rest you open your eyes
As tears of pure emotion fall from mine
Landing on your face and running into your mouth
You taste my feelings for you
Looking
I
keep looking at you
So
sweet, so beautiful
So
desirably delicious
So
deliciously desirable
So
Beautiful So sweet
I
keep looking at you
I can still see the
you,
From back then,
But I can also see now,
What I should have seen
then
For it wasn't disguised
very well,
It was always just
beneath the surface,
Like a goldfish in a
murky pool,
You catch a glimpse now
and again
Through the water,
But when the pool has
been cleaned
I see you're not a
goldfish,
You’re a piranha
I love you
I love how your lips move when you talk
I love how you move when you walk
I love how you care so much for me
I love how beautiful you are
I love how your eyes shine
I love how you turn me on
I love how you laugh
I love how you smile
I love you to bits
I love you too
I love you
Sagging
My
spirits were sagging,
Hiding
behind the smile
You
stopped the decline
With
your wonderful soul
You
raise me back up
Make
me alive again
Restored
my self-belief
Ramnaugh
This bear of a man with a chuckle like an
earthquake was my Grandfather in law
He was a pleasure to be around, always a kind word,
and a gentle smile for the kids
The world is a sadder place without him, but it’s a
better place for him being in it
Motel

They both made mistakes
They both knew this
They both wanted each other
They both had to be careful
He was fed up being belittled
He found her so attractive
He saw so much love in her
He needed that love in his life
She had spent so long a drudge
She was flattered beyond belief
She felt so good from his attentions
She started to soar like a bird
They crossed the world for each other
They took that huge risk
They knew it would only be the once
They went Five star and sod the price
He could not believe his eyes
He felt that he was finally blessed
He felt her touch on his skin
He could feel her in his heart
She said, for them nothing but the best
She said no to Motel 6, The Hampton
She said they deserved for their tryst
She said let's get a Porsche
They spent the night in bliss
They enjoyed the drinks in the Jazz bar, and
They loved the swankery of the room
They knew it was just this once
He drank in her beauty with his eyes
He watched as she crossed the room
He held her in his arms so tight
He knew he'd never forget this night
She knew the finery she wore worked
She felt his eyes on her, and his arms
She had waited so long for this moment
She knew how fleeting this was
They made love with each other all night
They lay there sated and tired
They were so right together right now
They went their separate ways next morning
I
can still taste your mouth
You opened the door and our eyes met
It had been so long since last we looked
But the time melted away as you came into my arms
Your hands on my back drawing me in to kiss
My hands in your hair feeling its silkiness
Your skin so soft beneath my fingertips
Pulling back to look into each other’s eyes
The sparkle of joy twinkling in both sets
This is right, this is where we belong
Sitting here calm and comfortable with you
Watching you move as you crossed the room
So sweet and lithe, I had almost forgotten your
grace
Your backward glance and the grin on your face
You knew what I was thinking my breath Hitched
Is it just me or is getting warmer in here
How can just sitting chatting be so hot
It can't be so long ever again
I knew I missed you, but how much
Was such a surprise, the warmth of you
It killed me when I had to leave
I can still taste your mouth
I can still smell your perfume
I can still feel you in my arms
I can hardly wait for the next time
Hello
I say hello to you every day
But you no longer reply
That breaks my fragile heart
And I just sit and cry
I say hello to you every day
And talk about the fools we were
How sadly now it's gone away
The memories now all become a blur
I say hello to you every day
And talk about so many things
I tell you what I'm doing now
And open up with all my feelings
I say hello to you every day
With almost a nonchalance
But my breath hitches and stutters
As yet again there's no response
I say hello to you every day
With an aching deep in my heart
Knowing no answer will come
So long it's been this way, now we're apart
I say hello to you every day
But there’s no reply, all I hear is Myself
With these trembling old hands
I replace your Urn upon the shelf
Flower
You are like a fragile flower
to me
I will never pluck you from the
ground
Nor remove even one petal
I will always treat you with
kindness and tender care
So that I can enjoy your beauty
for years to come
Anchored
Like a
ship at sea,
Sheltering
from a storm,
Hiding
in the lee of the island of calm,
Anchored
here awaiting
The
furious tempest's abating
Impaled
I want
to impale you on my hardness
I want
to cuddle you
I want
to sit and chat with you
I want
to share your day over a glass of wine
I want
to be enveloped in you
I want
to reach out and touch you gently
I want
to share sweet moments with you
I want
to hold you in my arms
I want
to spend time with you
I want
to walk along the seashore with you
I want
to make sweet gentle love with you
Whispered I love
you's
A
gentle stroke of your neck,
A kiss
on your head as I pass by
Reaching
up your skirt
To
stroke the sweet curve
Of
your butt meeting your leg
Running
my fingers
Up the
inside
Of
your gorgeous thighs
Resting
my head on your breasts
Whispered
I love you's
Against
your heart
And
revelling in your warmth
The
thought of your tender touch
On my
skin
Makes
me want to drink you
Right
in
In you
Smelling
you
Touching
you
Feeling
you
Devouring
you
Tasting
you
Penetrating
you
In you
With
you
Ribs
Just
to hold you tight
To
smell your hair
To
feel your warmth
To
feel your heartbeat
Against
my ribs
Pedestal
You
shall not be castigated for your association with me,
But
held upon a pedestal to receive the adulations and
Adoration
you so richly deserve
Coda
Be
still, crazy drum solo of heartbeat
Distraction
And I
would venture gently through
The
openness invitation enough
The
acceptance of this moment
From
us both, means so much
I
drink in every nuance of your face
I am
in awe of your desire for me
Dream
of a gentle breath so light
Whispering
down your neck tonight
Dream
of a tender kiss upon skin
And
then a gentle breath
Blowing
softly across your Nipple
Watch
as it crinkles at the touch
Of my
breath and deep love
Feel
it connecting to your heart
And
soul, increasing the emotion
Feel
as I move up toward your face
And
gently upon your lips, mine I place
Honey
I would be all up on you kissing
Every
beautiful inch of your sweet body
And
stroking you gently feeling
Your
soft skin under my fingertips
Tracing
every contour of you
Exploring
all the hills and valleys
Tenderly
making you come alive in my hands and
Driving
you to distraction
With
every caress of my desire for you
Private Space
Your
hair cascading down over my face,
Creating
our very own private space,
Surrounded
by you,
All I
can see is that beautiful face
Above
me, filling my vision
I feel
you shift
And
your breasts come into focus,
The
sweet weight of them resting
On, my
face, accepting them
Their
feel, as they move slowly
Further
up, until my mouth
Can
taste and savour them,
The
stiffness of your nipples
Between
my teeth,
The pressure
from them
As you
succumb to the pleasure
My
tongue applies to you,
Again
I feel you shift
The
warmth coming from you,
No!
The HEAT coming from you
Moves
slowly up my belly,
As
your breasts depart my mouth,
I
watch them gently swaying
As you
move further up,
The
heat is sliding over my chest,
My own
nipples like bullets,
My
anticipation skyrockets,
So
hot, right now, on me,
And
then your sweet aroma
Enters
my nose, you drive me wild
And
then . . . . . almost there you pause .
. . .
I am
filled with nothing but you,
Your
most intimate secret
Is my
entire world,
Nothing
else matters, nor moves,
Time
stands still, Silence reigns,
Even
my breathing has stopped
As
yours has too, Poised on the brink,
This
is the moment, do or die
The
connection will be complete,
This
one act of desire, of tenderness
Between
one spirit,
Residing
within two bodies
Is
encompassed in this one moment,
The
most gentle and accepting
Act of
passion and love . - - - - - - - - - -
T.B.C
Begin the Dance
Stroking
your hair in your sleep,
Watching
you at rest,
Peaceful
easy breaths,
The
rise and fall of your chest
Catches
my eye and I notice
We
have fallen into a matching rhythm
Breathing
together almost as one
Remembering
your tender kisses
And
the way you touched me
Smelling
the lovely of you
As I
lay here with you in my arms
Feeling
the warmth of your skin
On
mine the soft silkiness of you
Making
me want you again
Wanting
to feel you enfolding me
In
your beautiful warm embrace
The
memory stirs me again
But
you look so serene
I
can't disturb you now nor soon
I
return to watching you at rest
And
fold myself back into the spoon
Patiently
I lie here now so calm, at peace
Sleep
on my beautiful Woman
I will
be here when you wake
I will
be waiting to feel you stir
To begin
the dance again
If you fell
If you
fell I would take your hand, and kiss away the tears
Hold
you in my arms so tenderly and rid you of the fears
Pick
you up and help you back on your feet
Hold
you tight till you were good again my sweet
Why am I sitting
here?
Nervous
as a kitten
My
heart in my throat
I keep
checking for replies
Expectantly
waiting
Wanting
to see your words
Wanting
to see your face
To
chat and laugh again
So
much fun and games
The
range and depth
Appealing
to my soul
Why am
I sitting here?
Because
I want you
Parental Guidance
Fuck Me
I want
you to scream "Fuck me" and mean it,
I want
you to shake and shudder as I make love WITH you
I want
you to beg me to never stop
I want
to watch as your eyes widen as you come and then
Screw
shut with the explosion deep inside you
And
then I will come
Pushing
so deep and hard into your soaking wet pussy
Filling
you up with all that hot cum
My
cock twitching and throbbing as I pump you full of my desire
My
balls slammed tight against your butt
And
then to just stay there
Our
very own personal cocktail
Slowly
slipping out and over my balls
The
sweet smell of our loving in the air
Arms
embracing legs tangled eyes locked emotions meshed
That's
how I want you
First date.
Call and Response piece,
The first line is the prospective
date the
second is the dater’s response
The first date is coming and
what should I wear?
That day
is coming and what should I wear
Should I leave it curly or
straighten my hair?
Should
I tie it back or leave it loose or dye my hair ?
What about footwear, I know you
wear crocs,
I
wonder about heels, hers not mine, should I wear silver crocs
Should I bowl up in mine with a
pair of red socks?
What
if she turns up in 18 lace hole Docs ?
I'll make sure my hands are
soft to the touch,
Will
her skin be warm and soft when I reach out and touch
My makeup, how much is too
little, how little too much?
Moisturiser,
and wrinkle cream, Bloody hell to do so much
What should I say after
"Hello, how are you?"
How do
I respond when she says Hello how are you
Where shall we go? What shall
we do?
Which
answer, what now, kiss, smile what do I do
First impressions are important
or so they say,
First
impressions matter, wear pink ? Will she think I'm gay
But we've been close for ages,
since the very first day.
Nah my
beautiful babe knows me better than that I'd say
When you look in my eyes I hope
you like what you see.....
When I
look in her eyes I just know I will like what I see
I know what I'll do......
I hope
she doesn't act or try too hard
I'll just be me!!
I hope
she's just her, then I can be me X X
Sneak
Sneak
up on you from behind
Cup
your boobs in my hands
Your
butt pushed back on me
My
breath on your neck
As I
bend down to plant a kiss
On the
back of your ear
To
hold you so tight and dear
No
need for sex in this moment
But a
need for each other
And
the contact cementing that need
The
emotional bond so strong
Darkness from
night
Just a
few words
My
whole day
Becomes
much brighter
My
mood sails into the sky,
My
heart swells
I know
my life has got better
You
came to me so right
Took
the darkness from the night
Put a
smile on my face
Call Me
We
spoke all night
The
sun rose on us
Subjects
ranged
So far
and wide
And
stayed so
So
close to home
We
told our fears
Our
future hopes
And
our dreams
It
seems to us
They
are the same
The
words flowed
And
never ran out
And
still in the end
We had
yet more
More
to say and do
We
spoke all night
The
sun rose on us
You’re You
You’re
you
That’s
all you do
All
you
Need
to do
No
longer blue
I've
got you
Who
woulda knew
Words,
just a few
All
you need to do
And my
heart flew
My old
life Adieu
Another
life anew
Bliss
to look to
Oh my
what new
Delights
to view
Our
feelings so true
You’re
you
That’s
all you do
All
you
Need
to do
Groined
Groined
It's
like being joined at the hip
But
way more fun
Smile
That's
why we make each other smile so much
That's
why we will be an awesome pair
That's
why we are not the common touch
That's
why our outlook now is so fair
Classless as Fuck
No
matter how I try, the hurt just comes
again
I set
you free with no recriminations at all
You
had my blessing to move on and be happy
Even
though it was not needed, I gave it you
I
asked for so little from you in return
Just
some respect for my life, my feelings,
My
emotions now so raw since I died
You
care not a jot for my health
Don't
push it in my face I said
Keep
it at a distance I asked
I
don't need to know what happens
Just
go on and live your life
You
and he have no place in my day to day
And I
asked for you to keep it that way
It’s
enough that I know it is there
It’s
enough to know that you no longer care
But OH
no not you, only one thought in your head
You
care so little if I live or if I'm dead
Classless
as fuck and careless of others too
You
sit in his car outside our house so lovey dovey you two
He’s
bringing your ticket
Or
that's what you said
Kissing
and snogging in plain view
Sat
there his hands on your head
The
smug grins when he calls
The
smug grins as you leave
The
smug grins on the phone
Wallpaper
so big and so bold
So
fucking pompous that you know it all
The
truth is it's like talking to a brick wall
Your
mistakes and foul lies that led us to this place
But
that you won't admit to for fear of losing face
And
now it's just bitterness and bile
Every
day and all the while
You
sneer and you snarl and not just at me
You
snap and growl at our kids too,
Innocent
though they be
All
that is in your mind now
Is the
next call, the next date
Get
dressed quick don't be late
You
are classless as fuck you cow
You
say you're such a good Mum
I say
you're actually a bum
Yeah
you cook and you clean
I can
do that too without the big scene
All
and sundry around you, you belittle
Even
the ones you call your friends
All
nice and sugar sweet to their face
But
behind their backs such a twist,
Your
words and language a disgrace
Constantly
attacking me for every little thing
Picking
on this, nagging on that,
Yelling
for those, screaming for them
Nothing
is ever right for you
But
who is the bandula one
Dodgy
this, sneaky that
Cheapo
those, Free some of them
Saving
ten quid on this
Costing
forty on that
You
can't see that pulling every stunt
Doesn’t
mean that you are clever
I
tried to teach you from forever
It
just makes you a cheapskate cunt
Vilified
by you all of our married life
No
matter how I tried
No
matter what I did
You
just never wanted me,
You
never were a wife
Everything
revolves around you
Does
it this way, do it that will you
It
doesn't matter what we do
Nothing’s
ever good enough for you
It's
over and done now for good
You
made this mess, this bed
Lie in
it, like you lied to it
I've
seen through you now
And
others are seeing the light
The
dawn of your unmasking
Is
just beyond the horizon
I
can't wait for the sunrise
The
bright revealing light
With
its own harshness
Exposing
all of your lies
And
leaving you open and bare
Where
will you run to this time
I know
who it will be you seek
But even
he will discover the truth
As you
let your mask slip with familiarity
When
your house of cards
Lands
squarely on your head
Do not
expect me to pick them up
Don’t
expect me to shuffle
So
cute and pretty with a fab smile
A body
to die for so trim and fit
But
here's one thing you need to know
Ugly
inside just means you are UGLY
Inside I cry
Inside
I cry and cuddle up to my pain
Inside
I cry and huddle hiding again
Inside
I cry and puddle my tears into the drain
Standstill
The
air in my chest stops
No
breath can be taken
You
stand naked before me
My
world crashes to a standstill
How
beautiful you are
My
head swims in a maelstrom
A
symphony fills my ears
My
world crashes to a standstill
Tears
blur my vision
Joyful,
grateful, stunned
No
sadness in them
My
world crashes to a standstill
Drinking
in the "youness''
Every
little piece of you
Enveloped
by your aura
My
world crashes to a standstill
You
reach for me
Enfold
me in your arms
The
warmth of your embrace
My world
crashes to a standstill
Touched
by your skin
The
contact goes deep
Into
my very soul
My
world crashes to a standstill
Lost
in your vibrance
In
glorious emotions
So
exquisitely wondrous
My
world crashes to a standstill
Your
lips brushing mine
Melding
our being
Tasting
so divine
My
world crashes to a standstill
Your
lips parting gently
Accepting
me so urgently
Surrounding
me warmly
My
world crashes to a standstill
Addendum:
You think of me as just a clown
I make you laugh, and wipe away your frown
The smile is painted on my face
You hadn't guessed in case
You think of me as just a clown
But inside I watch my heart drown
The loser has to
fall
Not
about the money, or that's what you said
So how
come every fight and all the hateful spite
Comes
from a place where money is concerned
You
must think I'm dumb as you climb into his car
His
big flash yellow supercar
And
his huge Mo'bay Crib
His
wife with nothing left
And
his cutting off of his kids
So now
you're gonna get what you want
But
pay attention to how he came to you
So
ready to ditch his own kids and wife
Ready
to tear apart each and every little life
Even
your accusations of uselessness
Comparing
me to him, Mr Perfect, Pah !
So
easy to forget what was done for you
One
tiny drip from his pool of wealth
Just
enough to keep you hooked
To
make you belittle me some more
You
grin as you drive the knife right in
Seeing
the hurt and pain in my eyes
And
all for his "Prize" the "Playground"
For
that's how he refers to you, your body
Can
you understand you aren't a person to him
Just a
toy to be played with until it's broken
And
then cast aside and left all alone
Like
Ale and his kids without a home
No
access to the "Crib" so proudly 'tubed
No
access to their father, just ignored
Left
with their mother to pick up the pieces
As he
sports across the world, you in his wake
You
fall for all of his bluster and his lies
Yet
you did not see right before your eyes
The
man who tried to fix it all, to make it right
No,
for me all you had was vitriol and spit
River
Sitting
on the grass, on your cute ass
Watching
the river flow
In the
sunsets glow
Letting
the red wine flow
Little
dots of lights reflected glow
Chit
and chat, going with the flow
City
lights in your eyes aglow
Conversation
going fast, then slow
Sitting
on the grass, on your cute ass
Sitting
in the dark, and watching the river flow
Screen Kisses
I really don't know how I feel
I know I'm bonkers about you
I know you're gorgeous enough
To make me have to clean
The kisses off my screen
I know you are in my head non
stop
I know you are in my heart
But I feel disconnected !
I know that will go away when
you are in my arms again X X X
Jelly
Sooooo cute you are in your underwear
I wanna run my fingers through your hair
Stroke my hands across your belly
Make your legs turn into jelly
Unbidden
Unbidden
your face floats before mine
Unbidden
memories of holding you tight
Unbidden
thoughts of kissing you
Unbidden
the taste of your mouth on mine
Unbidden
the feel of you in my arms
Unbidden
images of you in your underwear
Unbidden
the trousers get tight
Unbidden
thoughts of tomorrow night
Unbidden
restlessness and anticipation
Mudlarks
We could be mudlarks you said ! !
!
Let’s look for buried treasure Yay !
Down by the river Thames
As it flows toward the sea
Let’s look for buried treasure Yay !
Down by the river Thames
As it flows toward the sea
Boots slipping and sliding
The mud sucking at our feet
You turn up your sweet face
That elfin grin so vibrant and
alive
A smile dancing on your lips
I’ve found it ! I yell at you
Where, you laugh back at me
It’s looking right back at me babe
Where, you laugh back at me
It’s looking right back at me babe
Its right there my love, shining
in your eyes
They !
They weren't there, and didn't
feel the lightning ball in my arms
They weren't there, they didn't
feel the flow
They weren't there, to watch the
back and forth
They weren't there, with the
electricity in the air
They weren't there, to feel the
chemistry
They weren't there, when it
rained and we smiled
They weren't there, when we said
goodbye with heavy hearts
And they better not be there when we make love !
Written for all the people who
have the gall to tell others how to live their lives
What if I came knocking?
What if I
came knocking on your funny bone one night?
Would you
get the gag and laugh along
Or be all
put out and hide behind your affrontery
Would the
smile slide right off your face?
Taking
your mask with it and revealing your nasty side
What if it
festered away inside you for days?
Till you
took it public and not behind that door
Vrooooom
You say you don't like me
I have news for you bitch
I don't wake up every day for
you
Your life revolves around
belittling me
Mine revolves around staying
alive
And making our kids as happy as
I can
But when you want to go sport
with your man
That’s fine, off you go jump in
his car, vrooooom
You whinge and whine whenever I
do anything
Any little thing to make life
happier for me
Any little thing to make life
happier for our kids
You and he decide last minute
stuff to do
And it's a rush to put on your
finery for him
I'm lucky to get an hours
warning of your absence
But when you want to go sport
with your man
That’s fine, off you go jump in
his car, vrooooom
And even when I am just taking
a few hours out
You can't stand for it to be
happening, can you?
Nu Uh you have to find some way
to complain
You get on the phone to yell at
me for whatever
You threaten to lock me out of
the house
Or you give me endless grief
for days at a time
But when you want to go sport
with your man
That’s fine, off you go jump in
his car, vrooooom
Mutual Smiles
I adore you
You are so sweet
I adore you
You are so sweet
I couldn't help
But look at you
All the way home
In your car
Watching you
drive
Seeing you smile
Such a tiny
smile
Playing across
your lips
And feeling mine
too
Breaking out
with yours
The calm inside
So peaceful and
soft
The ease with us
Side by Side
The feeling
mutual
You
say I am in your thoughts
As you are in mine
We are so good for each other
Of that I am sure
The joy we share in life
Is spilling over into our art
When it is seen and looked at later
Others will be able to chart us
As we journey on together
From the dark places of the past
And soaring upward and forward
Heading for the light
To feel it shining on our faces
Our smiles reflecting the glow
It’s all about you
It's
all about you sweetie
I'm
just a soppy old git
Where
you are concerned
I
could sit quietly for hours
Sit
calmly just looking at You
So
content to just be with you
To be
in the same space as you
I have
been in my situation for so long
I feel
like I can't "read" things at times,
And
just setting out on this journey together
I am
insecure about my inability to "read"
It
scares me in case I get it wrong
You
have become so important to me
I
would be devastated if I get it wrong
You
have kick-started my soul
And
got the spark going again
You
make me warm inside
I know
it isn't just the excitement of someone new,
Nor an
escape from my situation, nor lust,
It's
the whole real package with you,
"Being"
with you is so wonderful,
Talking,
silent, touching, not touching,
Everything
just makes me . . . Me,
Real
and alive again, I was withering
But
you made the sap rise again (Keep it clean)
You
make me alive and bring the light
It's
been so long for my soul to be dark
I have
been subjected to such constant crap
That
now I even question myself,
But
you are changing that
And
bringing me back to life in the process
The self-doubt
and self-mistrust receding
Now my
heart is beating again coz of you,
Now my
heart is beating again for you
So
unbelievably grateful you're in my life
For Frederick Le Poidevin, my
Paternal Grandfather,
one of the few to return from . .
The Great War,
“The war to end all wars"
Today
I feel so raw
I hate
any fucking war
100
years ago today
So
many men died
Left
in the mud
In a
field far from home
Loved
ones not there
Not
able to mourn
Alone
and afraid
Bleeding
and cold
Never
to grow old
Struck
down in their prime
So
many never to return
What
thoughts in their heads
The
whistle blows
And
over the top
They
rushed en masse
Into
the teeth of hell
Barbed
wire tearing flesh
Bombs
ripping them apart
Bullets
screaming through the air
Thudding
into men
Shredding
organ and bone
Strewn
on the ground in pieces
Like
offal on a slaughterhouse floor
No
longer human
Just
gobbets of meat
Lying
on the sodden ground
So few
came home
And
those that did
Would
never forget
The
sights and smells
The
noise, the terror
The
nightmares remained
With
them all their lives
For
those men back home
The war
never ended
Replayed
in their heads
Unbidden
the horrors
Recalled
without warning
Breaking
their souls
Countless
times again
And
again down the years
Unable

Just
another Father
A woman
renewing her driver's license at the DMV was asked by the clerk to state her
occupation.
She hesitated,
uncertain how to classify herself.
"What I
mean is," explained the clerk, "do you have a job, or are you just a
...?"
"Of
course I have a job," snapped the woman. "I'm a mother."
"We don't
list 'Mother' as an occupation ... 'Housewife' covers it," said the clerk
emphatically.
I
forgot all about her story until one day I found myself in the same situation,
years later, at our local police station.
The
clerk was obviously a career woman, poised, efficient, and possessing a
high-sounding title like, "official interrogator" or "town
registrar."
"What
is your occupation?" she probed.
What
made me say it, I do not know. ... The words simply popped out.
"I'm
a research associate in the field of child development and human
relations."
The
clerk paused, pen frozen in mid-air, and looked up as though she had not heard
right.
I
repeated the title slowly, emphasizing the most significant words. Then I
stared with wonder as my pronouncement was written in bold, black ink on the
official questionnaire!
"Might
I ask," said the clerk with new interest, "just what you do in your
field?"
Coolly,
without any trace of fluster in my voice, I heard myself reply,
"I
have a continuing program of research, in the laboratory and in the field. I'm
working for my master's, and already have four credits. Of course, the job is
one of the most demanding in the humanities, and I often work 14 hours a day.
But the job is more challenging than most run-of-the-mill careers and the rewards
are much more satisfactory than just money."
There
was an increasing note of respect in the woman's voice as she completed the
form, stood up, and personally ushered me to the door.
When I
got home, buoyed up by my auspicious new career, I was greeted by my lab
assistants: ages 10, 7, and 3. Upstairs, I could hear our new experimental
model, 6 months old, in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal
pattern.
I felt
I had triumphed over bureaucracy!
And I
had gone on the official record as someone more distinguished and indispensable
to mankind than "just another Father."
(I can’t claim
this for my own; I did however alter it subtly to reflect my own situation)

of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling’s deaths
at the hands of US police
officers
and the atrocious and blatant racism
exhibited in both cases)
Epitaph
Look
at him, stupid man
All
pink hair and inflatable hammer
Playing
with kids in the street
And at
his age too, daft old git
Look
at him, stupid man
All
loud clothes and water balloons
Chasing
up and down the road
Making
the kids laugh as they run
Look
at him, stupid man
In his
superman cape and a light sabre
Falling
on the ground as the kids defeat him
Laughing
like loons until they cry
Look
at him, stupid man
All
pink hair and loud clothes
Surrounded
by laughing kids
Surrounded
by love and laughter
Look
at him, stupid man
Sitting
there at the end of the day
All
the kids home in bed now it's dark
All
alone now his playmates are gone
Look
at him, stupid man
With a
smile on his lips
And
warmth in his heart
Waiting
for tomorrow to start
Look
at him, stupid man
Now
it's all over and he is gone
Just a
pine box now with flowers all over
Behind
the hearse, a queue of mourners
Look
at him, stupid man
At the
front of the church
Packed
to the rafters
All
those children sad faced
Look
at him, stupid man
How
the years have flown
Those
children now grown
Telling
children of their own
Look at
him, stupid man
Because,
that's what they said
But
look at the memories he left
And
the smiles on the faces
Look
at him, stupid man
Multi
coloured head
Buried
in the graveyard
Ran
himself until he was dead
Look
at him, stupid man
All
pink hair and inflatable hammer
All
loud clothes and water balloons
We
miss him, and all of his fun
Wonderful
Night
My
thoughts often turn to you, sometimes . . . .
Not so
much naughty as so sweet and lovely
Remembering
the taste of you on my lips
The
beautiful image of your nakedness
Lying
back so relaxed on the bed
Such a
wondrous sight
Looking
forward now
To yet
one more
Wonderful
night
Here
Snap,
Snarl
Snap,
Snarl and Snipe, it never ends, does it
You're
just a fucking whinger, every little fucking thing
Chewed
on like a dog with a fucking bone until there's no marrow left
Until
it's so chewed it snaps in half and lies on the ground rotting away
All
you can do is worry the fuck out of it, Always, Always, Always,
Gnawing
away at the bone until there's nothing of use left
Shovel
You can't see through your lies
All the constant false attacks
Just make things worse
But oh no not in your eyes
You are justified in your lies
You have no love for those near
You only love material gains
Money and yet more money
Big Flashy cars to show off in
Big flashy crib overlooking the
sea
You have no love in your soul
You care for none but you
Your lies are digging you a
hole
And I will happily stand here
And hand you the fucking shovel
Waves
Every single beautiful
Sweep and curve and line,
The way your hair cascades
Across your body in waves
You
are my "Someone nice"
When I
look at you Babe
What
is it that I see lying there?
There
lies a beautiful body
Wrapped
around a huge heart
Beating
life into a wonderful soul
Battered
down the years by life
You
lay there so gloriously sweet
Unaware
of your own impact on me
I sit
here gazing at you in wonder
How
can I have been so lucky?
I too
was battered over the years
And
now here we are lying together
Friends
have told us so many times
You
really do deserve someone nice
You
need someone nice in your life
You
are my “Someone nice”
I hope
I am that for you my sweet
Weeping
I sat there yesterday morning
for five minutes,
You knew I was looking at you I
could feel it
Yet you didn't know I was
weeping with emotion
I was so happy and calm and
filled right to the brim
That it had to spill over and
run down my face
And then I lay down against you
again
I used the pillow to mop my
tears
Not through shame that you
would see
But coz I knew it would hurt
you to see me cry
Those tears are my love for you
spilling from me
Unable to be contained by my
already full heart
You are everything to me now
and forever
Someone to love you
Let someone love you as you are
As flawed as you might think you are
As unattractive as you might think you are
As unaccomplished as you think you are
Let someone love you just as you are
Let someone love you, including every scar
All of that past pain is a part of who you are
And please honey, let that someone be me
(Paraphrased from Sandra King's Piece)
"Let someone love you, just as you are
As flawed as you might be
As unaccomplished as you might think you are
Let someone love you just as you are
And let that someone be you"
At
Peace
I have
never been so at peace when lying next to someone
I
wanted to spend all day looking at you and drinking you in
And I
wanted to spend the day just feeling your skin on mine
I
wanted to spend the day making love with you so gently
And so
passionately, I wanted to be inside of you so much
And I
wanted to hold you with your head on my chest so calm
Scars
The scars of a previous life
show through
They are just what makes you
Smile
That smile that starts in your
boots
It just works its magic all the
way up
Until it breaks out all over
your face
To shine like a beacon in the
darkness
Of what was my so miserable
life
Skype
To sit and chat and see
Is the only way I want to be
Thunder and Lightning
So much fun to see and hear
Your eyes lighting up so bright
With every flash and clap
That was so special today
In almost every way
Important
You are important to me
Time alone with you is important to me
Seeing you smile is important to me
Feeling your heart beating is important to me
Knowing you are safe is important to me
Hearing you laugh is important to me
Listening to you speak is important to me
Making love with you is important to me
Knowing you is important to me
Homeward
Journeys
Sadly
not to our home
But to
go our separate ways
Knowing
it will be some time
Before
you are in my arms again
No
matter how bright the day
At
this time it loses its shine
The
sheen goes ever so flat
The
uncertainty is so painful
My
heart sinks down into my boots
Forcing
a smile onto my face
Coz I
can do it and I'm good at that
Saying
goodbye for now my love
With
such a cheery tone
When
all I want is to curl into a ball
And
let my sadness wash over me
I turn
my back and walk away from you
Not
daring to glance backwards
Hoping
you don't watch either
But
then . . . . .
Lilies
and Landmines
Lilies
and Landmines
Today,
which will it be
It's
not your fault, my son
Life
threw you a curveball
Inside
you are so kind and true
But
your condition messes with you
Your
anger isn't real at all
It's
literally all in your head
Your
lack of understanding
Doesn't
mean you don't know
Your
lack of emotional control
Doesn't
make you bad or nasty
I know
you are still in there
My
sweet natured little boy
What
must it be like for you
Trapped
in the prison of your mind
If
there was a way out of there
I'd
lead you along that path
Take
your hand and set you free
Even
if it meant killing me
So
often you show your soul
And
again often you retreat
Deep
inside your head
Deep
into that epileptic hole
For
therein lies your problem
Unique
to each and every one
No one
knows better than you and I
How
often do the Lilies turn
Into
massive landmines exploding
With
damage scattered far and wide
Shrapnel
and the fallout everywhere
Covering
everyone you hold so dear
And so
today a new day dawns
Lilies
and Landmines on the horizon
Today,
again I ask, which will it be
It's
not your fault, I wish you were free
Knickers
The
next time we make love with each other
I am
swapping my boxers with your knickers
On
weekends like this where we are so far apart
To
wear each others underwear brings us close
Just
feeling the textures on our skins so intimate
Some
say that it's weird and freaky and kinky
But
for me and you it is the closeness we miss
Nothing
sexual intended, nor needed for us
This
is just the best we can do at such a distance
Thinking
of each other in this way, so sweet
Even
with the miles keeping us apart
Every
movement brings you to mind
Eyes
I want to look into your eyes again
To see myself reflected in there
I want to hold you in my arms
To feel the reflection of your "embrace"
I want to touch your sweet soft skin
To feel the tenderness within
Sometimes
The
prettiest smiles are hiding the nastiest of hearts
The prettiest
eyes are windows into the darkest of souls
The
sweetest of actions are hiding the meanest of intents
The
sweetest of faces hides the ugliest of characters
Response
I woke up thinking of you I fall asleep doing the same
I woke up thinking of you I fall asleep doing the same
I love talking with you Sharing our thoughts is so cool
Listening to you Watching you talk
I just want to hold you I want to be held by you
To love you with all my heart As I do too my love
I want to inspire you You are my muse
I've waited a long time to find you I’ve been here so long waiting to be
found
I will give you strength love and laughter Your love and laughter is my strength
We will be together To
be together is my goal
I will wait for as long as it takes I hope it’s not too long now
The Left hand half written
by Tina Hay, Sculptress,
The other half is of course
my response J
Twin
Snuggled in nice and close
Feeling the heat from your skin
The scent of you in my nose
Knowing that you're my twin
Morning
Woke up with you in my head
Lying there dozing all aloner
Stretched out in my warm bed
With such a huge boner
Morning Part Two
Unlike yesterday morning
Sun shining through the blind
Gently awaking and yawning
With naught but you on my mind
Today on my own and hollow
Wishing to be once again with you
Basking in our oh so warm glow
Knowing that this love is our due
And now sat here so wide awake
Memories of our morn and night
So much more of that I can take
Because now at last, we know it's right
Our time, so little of it spent together
Is so valuable, precious and priceless
But our two souls connected by a tether
Our love, now cemented and boundless
Now we both know what's at stake
And how much harm we can undo
From now on the love we can make
Is gonna be long-lasting and true
Flaws
Honey you think so little of yourself
But just for once you should believe
You look in the mirror and see flaws
Whilst I look at the same image of you
I see the cellulite you bemoan so much
But to me it is just a part of the you I love
The wrinkles you peer at so often wishing them
gone
Show the life you've had and the character of
you
The bum you claim is no longer firm
Still has the power to draw my gaze
Your boobs heading south you complain
I care not a jot for your concerns
You are you, and a beautiful you, you are
Every time we talk, or hold each other tight
I am so blown away by my good fortune
You came into my life and lifted me up again
Now you say you are getting old and soft
I cannot argue that point with you at all
But what I can tell you from my soul
Is that you are my muse, my love, my heart
You see, when I look at you, I see the reality
I see the flaws you are so quick to lament
But I see beyond this and see your life
I see also your inner beauty and soul
You are quite something and so damn cute
So talented and caring and loving and sweet
And you see me too, big belly, funny feet
Tell me what you see, when you look at me
I see the wrinkles of my own around my eyes
My belly now no longer fits in my favourite
jeans
My skin no longer as elastic as it once was
But my love tell me what you see looking at me
Then remember that I see these things too
The way you look at me with love in your eyes
Seeing beyond the physical mess and damage
I know you see me ! The real me inside
When I was a lithe young man so proud and brave
Standing naked in the bathroom like an Adonis
Performing my morning rituals of wash and shave
I still see glimpses of that young man in the
reflection
I am looking in your mirror now
Looking at you in the glass.
I see glimpses too of you
The girl you were back then
But you know what makes me smile now
Standing here with you in my embrace
Seeing the character in your face
Seeing the life in you, shining out at me
Seeing and feeling the you, you've become
Both of us battle-scarred by our pasts
And yet now, here we stand, side by side
When I tell people I'm with you, it's with
pride
I am such a lucky man, damn near dead
Physically and emotionally, battered and
bruised
Worn down by years of life's pitfalls and traps
You came to my rescue, to my aid
Bandages made from love
Poultices of tenderness
Salves of emotions
All of this you give to me
You don't hesitate to offer up your heart
I gladly accept your love so freely given
Reborn anew, strength returns, as does my smile
Come into my arms my love, I'll wrap you up in
care
Life without you now, a terrifying prospect
For you and I are meant to be, loving so free
Supporting each other from here on
Getting more wrinkles together, but now
It's our life together being written in the
lines
You and me, and my big belly, and your bits
Heading south and catching up (Down) with mine
When we are old and our tale is told, in
wrinkles
Those things we now view with distaste
Will be the things that write our script
Telling the world of our pains and joys
Leaving behind for others a love story
One to be told often and with care
Your kids and mine relating our bliss
Our sunset years held up as example
Never give up on love it will find you
Mumbled between your tits
Lying with my head
On your chest
Little kisses placed
Upon your breasts
And then I speak
Murmuring softly
Breath gently wafts
Across your skin
You can't hear
But you can feel
Five little words
I love you to bits
Trying to encompass
A million words
In one sentence
Means the world
So much emotion
How can I tell you
What you are to me
I've told you some
But not enough
How do I explain
So cold for years
And now so warm
Deceit
Give me the truth
Some respect
A little loyalty
And consideration
Alien as that is to you
All your fancy talk
Will not hide your deceit
Already the veil starts to slip
You sneer at your friends
Your lies they start to see
So careful or so you think
The truth begins to show
One by one they see through
Into your sordid little world
The exposure of your lies
When the light shines upon you
All your bullshit will be laid bare
Your sad attempts at being normal
Failure all the way, every damn day
And now your wall begins to fall
Sneering your way through life
Never truly tried to be a wife
Just something to be endured
A means to an end, nothing more
And now money rules and it's bye
Trust me you won't be missed
Your anger and insane rants
Your attempts to twist the facts
Seen through by the kids you lie to
It's just a matter of time now . . .
Ball
Lightning
That rarest of phenomena
Careered into my arms
And sparked a new lease of
Life for me became so much
Better than before, but I didn't
Know it would be so brief so
Short a time to be spent alive
And feeling like a man again
Vibrant and Sparkling like a
Diamond in the skies above
The twinkling will live on in
My heart and head, treasured
For years to come, lifting me up
When I am down, and every time
There's a thunderstorm and rain
With lightning flashing across the
Sky lighting up the world so bright
Much as that ball did for me, then
You will again come unbidden to
Mind and make me smile at the
Memories of confusion at the
Station and the grass and your ass
And red wine and twinkling of
Lights reflected in the water
The rain that didn't dampen our
Spirits as we ran for cover and
Laughed at the sky
I would not abandon you
I awoke to drift up from the
depths of my sleep
I could feel you in my arms,
holding you close to me
Feeling your body against mine,
My emotions for you exquisitely
painful,
I surfaced further from my
slumber
I felt the need to kiss you,
I lowered my face
To kiss the top of your head
As I did so I thought,
Damn pillows taste funny !
I am aching to spend time with
you
Hammocks or not, I don't mind
Although the look of that bed
Behind your behind
Could be such a playground
And a haven from the world
Fun and laughter between those
sheets
And salvation from the BS of
our past
Safe and warm us two together
in there
Just we full of love and kisses
and care
Leaving the nastiness out of
there
Awaken with a smile
I want you to wake up with a smile on your
lips,
It's Sunday Morning and you can lie in bed
My arms around you holding you close and safe
Feeling your sleepy warmth so comforting
The scent of your hair
The scent of your skin
Fills the air in the room
Fills my soul with calm
To wake up entwined every day
You a permanent fixture in my head
You a permanent fixture in my bed
You a permanent fixture in my arms
To wake up and feel this way
Would be an absolute bliss
Eyes opening to a gentle kiss
Tasting your sweet lips on mine
Front
and Centre
You are in my thoughts non-stop now
Before I did think of you now and again
With fondness and ruefully coz you were gone
But now, with nothing in the way
I am able to let my thoughts run free
Even more so lately your words and actions
So much trust and sharing and caring
Between us both, from you to me and back
So now, you are front and centre
And have been all day, from waking
Through Sunday Dinner, and a Footie match
And beyond for days more and more
There you are in my mind, on my mind
No complaints from me on this though
My vision is filled with your face so cute
My 44 year old child that brings me such Joy
Easy
It's easy enough to not care
But once you know
What is happening
That's when you discover
Just how much
You do care !
Worst
fucking day of my life
The deepest pain I have ever felt
Was when I denied my own feelings
For the sake of making others happy
Buried deep in me that pain gnawed
At my very soul till I felt dead inside
And all for what ? I will tell you for what
To be kicked in the teeth That's fucking what
Whilst they are so comfortable and happy
I am dying inside, withering on the vine
Yet they go on with a smile on their faces
Oblivious to the damage they have inflicted
Now taken from me, leaving me bereft
All of my hard work and love so lavished
Only to be lied to / about, to be suspected
Facing so many accusing stares and angry looks
Now all the lies told over and over again
Every time a new audience was met
So believable with his cheeky grin
And that killer ability to turn it on at a whim
Sitting there looking at me knowing what he has done
Knowing how deep is my agony and despair
So now I have to face fuck knows how long
I have to endure days, weeks, maybe even months
Without him as the "Caring" Services take over
All three times before when they have been involved
They have damn near killed him, falling into traffic
Supposed 24/7 "Waking" care that was in fact sleep
Disturbing him in the night putting him more at risk
Allowing him to Spend his money on fripperies
Instead of trying to teach him how to budget and survive
And now his runaway mouth has done it again
But it's not just me, His mother too and the girls
All now being investigated by the "Caring" Services
Ten Year Old Amy facing a quizzing at her school
The same for Chantelle, pubescent 12 year old
With all the mood swings that that entails for a girl
And there he sits safely tucked up in his hospital bed
With a new and captive audience with every shift change
More of his fantasy life played out for willing ears
Way too ready to run to the "Caring" Services with tales
His head filled with dreams of his own flat and freedom
Not acknowledging how carefree he already is in his own home
Tales of being starved and penniless, with no clothes to wear
So hateful and hurtful, to have raised this boy with such love
And this is how he repays us, his parents, his true carers
:-(
Dance
This tango
We dance to
The rhythm
And beat
That makes us
Move together
Even though
We can't touch
It touches us
Reaching deep
Inside us
So that the
Primal metronome
Keeps us in time
Cradle
I want
to cradle your battered heart
In my
arms up close and next to mine
Washing
away the grief and hurt
With
my tears that fall for your pain
I want
to make you whole again
To
Rise up and be beautiful
Once
more to stun the world
To
shine so brightly like before
You
make my spirits soar
Your
face so alive and bright
Your
hair so vibrant and mobile
My
heart swells within my chest
You
truly, in my life, are the best
Many
times before I have been duped
But
with you I know there's no tricks
Every
single thing is for real
You
have made me feel
Where
before I was cold
Now
the world is glowing gold
Between
you and me
I am
so much older
I am
scared of your view
What
will I think of you
What
will you think of me
Will
you see me as the hunk
You
remember from all
Those
years ago so young
Or do
you sit there and long
For
that lithe and supple man
Scared
that the reality will fail
Hopeful
that our love will prevail
To
know that you care so wonderful
To see
that look in your eyes
The
way you looked at me today
Restored
my soul and belief
Missing
Missing you more each time we
say goodnight
A physical ache inside of me so
strong
This tells me what we have is
good and right
Each time we part I hope it
won't be for long
The desire to cup your sweet
face in my hands
To feel the heat of your body
as I draw you close
Emotions running loose like deserts
drifting sands
And in the soft dark night my
heart rhythm now flows
My breath hitches in my chest a
stutter in the beat
Every night as I grow weary and
start to drift away
I can feel you just out of
reach so tempting and sweet
My wanting so urgent, my desire
for you to stay
My words so inadequate to
express my truth
How deep my feelings have been
made to run
Returning my battered emotions
to their youth
How could I imagine this when
it had just begun
Never did I think I'd get to
feel this way again
To spend my days in such
anticipation of a call
I envisaged my days dragging on
so full of pain
Finally a woman enough to hold
me in such thrall
Royalty
You are a Queen ... so strong, you don't really
need a King to reign
But if there's a King that can love you as much as
you love,
Then that's The King that truly deserves your love
The past is yesterday, and your life needs to move
on
You deserve so much more than a man who doesn't
love you
I hope you will listen to the secret your heart
has been telling you
That loving this King, your King, is a beautiful
path in your life
For you now to see how far you can love
And how much you deserve to be loved
Your King, this King, has been tired too,
Of waiting for you to come, to appear in his life
Somewhere along your future path of Destiny
I love you, and feel that I deserve you ...
I will not bring you to the point of despair
I am better, and I belong to you
All this time, I've just been waiting to be found
And you too ... and you too .... just waiting to
be found
Pain
It
hurts so much
To
love this way
To be
consumed
By
your emotions
Each
and every
Day
begins with
You in
my head
Filling
every nook
It
hurts so much
Wanting
to touch
Reaching
out with
My
hand to hold
But
you aren't
There,
nowhere to
Be
found, it's like
Swallowed
by ground
The World goes away
You show the world your tough
side
Never letting anyone else see
But I went beyond to find the
real you
Now I know you’re softer in
there
I have seen your beautiful soul
And my heart is full of love
and desire
When you take me in your arms
There is just you, and the
world goes away
Your embrace makes me soar
Your smile is my sunshine
The twinkle in your eyes
When you look into mine
To wake up every day knowing
I can see your face next to mine
Your lips on mine so gentle and
soft
There is just you, and the
world goes away
Gagging for it
It’s been so long
Too damn long
It feels so wrong
This pain inside
I need it now
A Cuddle
Shapes
You
are woman shaped honey
Sweeping
vistas of curvy womanhood
Drawing
my eyes to your beauty
Making
me desire your every inch
If I
was in your bed right now
I'd
make sure you felt real good
Long
before I even got started
I'd
spend hours between your legs
Face
first and glued there
And then
hold you tight in my arms as you cum
Hold
you till the passions subside
Hold
you till the warmth seeps away
Hold
you as you look into my eyes
Hold
you tight in my arms
Portugal
The next step
We take little steps every day
Today you discovered a bigger
step
I feel that every day
And every hour of every day
And every minute of every hour
of every day
I know there is no easy
solution
But until we do something we
will be left in limbo
Wondering what might be
Or just throwing it all away
Without ever scratching the
surface
Of what we can be together
I believe we would be
formidable
An unstoppable force of nature
Do NOT stand in our way
Portugal is where we find
"Us"
Neutral ground for you
Almost for me
Surrounded by people
Who will accept you
For being you
No judgements made
People who will accept you
Because you are with me
Friends with Charlie
People who will love you for
YOU
As they get to know you
Just as I have
Vrooom
But
when you want to go sport with your man
That’s
fine, off you go jump in his car, vrooooom
You
whinge and whine whenever I do anything
Any
little thing to make life happier for me
Any
little thing to make life happier for our kids
You
and he decide last minute stuff to do
And
it's a rush to put on your finery for him
I'm
lucky to get an hours warning of your absence
But
when you want to go sport with your man
That’s
fine, off you go jump in his car, vrooooom
And
even when I am just taking a few hours out
You
can't stand for it to be happening, can you
Nu Uh
you have to find some way to complain
You
get on the phone to yell at me for whatever
You
threaten to lock me out of the house
Or you
give me endless grief for days at a time
But
when you want to go sport with your man
That’s
fine, off you go jump in his car, vrooooom
I
love you
I love
how your lips move when you talk
I love
how you move when you walk
I love
how you care so much for me
I love
how beautiful you are
I love
how your eyes shine
I love
how you turn me on
I love
how you laugh
I love
how you smile
I love
you to bits
I love
you
Sagging
My
spirits were sagging,
Hiding
behind the smile
You
stopped the decline
With
your wonderful soul
You
raise me back up
Make
me alive again
Restored
my self-belief
But
that's not it
I can
still see the you, from back then,
But I
can also see now what I should have seen then
For it
wasn't disguised very well,
It was
always just beneath the surface,
Like a
goldfish in a murky pool,
You
catch a glimpse now and again
Through
the water,
But
when the pool has been cleaned
I see
you're not a goldfish,
You’re
a piranha
SLAM !
I want you naked and spread on a bed
Legs wide so I can see you properly
I want to see the glistening of your juices on
your lips
Making me hard look at me honey
Rock hard cock in hand slowly stroking
Looking at your beautiful pussy
The head all swollen with desire
Reach down for me honey
Play, dip, spread
You drive me crazy
Slowly I lean over you, Kiss you gently on the
mouth
Rest my cock gently against your pussy
Push slowly and gently just the head enters you
and I stop
You’re clawing at my ass
Desperate to drag me deeper into you
Nails digging into my skin
Still I resist
Your eyes are on fire you whimper and moan
I SLAM my cock hard and deep inside you all of it
buried
Balls slammed against your butt
Your eyes wide open with the shock
The pleasurable surprise of being full
And then I draw out again till I am almost gone
Smiling down at you
I do it again
Slamming into you
Seeing your smile
We both start to laugh
The joy of being so free
So erotic
So Sexy
I kiss your sweet mouth with laughter and drive my
cock deeper than before
Exploding deep inside you
Filling your pussy with my hot cum
Hold me tight, tell me it's right
Begin
the Dance
Stroking
your hair in your sleep
Watching
you at rest
Peaceful
easy breaths
The
rise and fall of your chest
Catches
my eye and I notice
We
have fallen into a matching rhythm
Breathing
together almost as one
Remembering
your tender kisses
And
the way you touched me
Smelling
the lovely of you
As I
lay here with you in my arms
Feeling
the warmth of your skin
On
mine the soft silkiness of you
Making
me want you again
Wanting
to feel you enfolding me
In
your beautiful warm embrace
The
memory stirs me again
But
you look so serene
I
can't disturb you now nor soon
I
return to watching you at rest
And
fold myself back into the spoon
Patiently
I lie here now so calm, at peace
Sleep
on my beautiful Sweetness
I will
be here when you wake
I will
be waiting to feel you stir
To
begin the dance again
Cascades
Your hair cascading down over
my face
Creating our very own private
space
Surrounded by you
All I can see is that beautiful
face
Above me filling my vision
I feel you shift
And your boobs come into focus
The sweet weight of them
resting on me
My face accepting them
Their feel as they move slowly
Further up until my mouth
Can taste and savour them
The stiffness of your nipples
Between my teeth
The pressure from them
As you succumb to the pleasure
My tongue applies to you
Again I feel you shift
The warmth coming from you
No! The HEAT coming from you
Moves slowly up my belly
As your breasts depart my mouth
I watch them gently swaying
As you move further up
The heat is sliding over my
chest
My own nipples like bullets
My anticipation skyrockets
So hot right now on me
And then your sweet aroma
Enters my nose you drive me
wild
And then . . . . . almost there you pause . . . .
I am filled with nothing but
you
Your most intimate secret
Is my entire world
Nothing else matters nor moves
Time stands still, Silence
reigns
Even my breathing has stopped
As yours has too poised on the
brink
This is the moment, do or die
The connection will be complete
This one act of desire
Of tenderness
Between one spirit
Residing within two bodies
Is encompassed in this one
moment
The most gentle and accepting
Act of passion and love . - - -
- - - - - - - T.B.C
P.S
P.S. last night you overpowered me when we
finished talking
I stayed up a while longer to consider what was
said
Your picture set as my Desktop Wallpaper
Your gorgeous face staring back at me
Those deep and welcoming eyes, so blue
The swoop and swerve of your bare shoulder
Down into the swell of your breast . . .
I failed to resist the male urge, I, was
incredibly hard
Harder than I have been for a very long time
I told you (your pic) how much I want you
I told you that I wanted to give you sweet orgasms
I want to make the gentlest (and passionate too)
love with you
To kiss your lovely face, shower kisses all over
you
To just be in that pic with you I stared into your
eyes
And spoke to you telling you things as yet unsaid
I spoke of desire and passion, and yes, love too
I spoke of your beauty and the sweetness of your
body
All the time you looked back at me from my screen
You knew what was happening and you seemed to
smile
The effect you have on me plain for you to see
I asked if I was wrong or right
You said "so sweetly right my darling"
I asked, with my heart beating crazy rhythms
What you would want of me at this moment
And your answer
"Come for me honey"
Made me need you more
Like a good man I complied
Mentally undressing each other
Kiss
I want
you so bad
I need
you so bad
I love
you so good
Kiss
you so good
Kiss
you till your
Ears
burn off
Checking
Why am
I sitting here
Nervous
as a kitten
My
heart in my throat
I keep
checking for replies
Expectantly
waiting
Wanting
to see your words
Wanting
to see your face
To
chat and laugh again
So
much fun and games
The
range and depth
Appealing
to my soul
Why am
I sitting here
Joy
You
make me laugh when I don't even want to smile,
You
drop bombs on me that make me cry,
Not in
a bad way, but with empathy,
Every
time I see your face you take my breath away,
I love
how you laugh so freely and with gusto,
And
the gaps between joke and laughter,
As it
seeps in and registers,
I love
those little pauses,
I love
how our conversations are disjointed
And
just run with the butterflies in our heads
As
they flit from thought to thought,
I hate
how we don't stay on topic,
Especially
when I want to say something,
But
you are already off somewhere else,
I love
how you stop and apologise
For
going off elsewhere,
I love
your Bluey Green eyes,
Even
as they refuse to stay open
And
you need to sleep,
I love
your beautiful long hair,
In
fact if there's something I don't love about you,
I have
yet to find it !
A
Minor Mishap doesn't have to become a Mountainous Misadventure
Breathe (Part 2)
My chest heaves and
All the air leaves the
Room, silence descends
As I sit there gazing in
Awe at the beautiful face
In front of me eyes closed
In repose, black & white
So peaceful, angelic and
Still, with a shuddering
Breath my lungs refill and
The room returns to view
Noises that had disappeared
Return and I feel my heartbeat
Once again, as I drink in every
Last feature of your beautiful
Face I wonder at how I got
Here to this place and time
My life was over and done
Destined to see out my days
With no touch or solace of
A loving soul to care for me
Nor I for her whoever or
Wherever she may be
But then you appeared
Back in my life and you
Made me smile again
Even though you weren't
Mine I was glad to see you
Once again, and then the
Madness came and tore
Your life apart, hurting
Not just you, but also me
I wanted, no, needed to
Make you whole again
To make that sweet face
Sparkle with JOY once more
The
other half of me
I have
been "In Love" before
Or so
I thought back then
But
you and the Joy you bring
Made
me rethink my past
So
that now with you
I know
what it really means

Prick
Invade
Once again you invade my dreams
Your soft hair cascades across my stomach
You lie there gently touching me
Feeling me come alive to your touch
And once again
I come awake hard
My dream inspired
By your songs
And you
A mix of pure love and desire
More and more this experience
Surprises me with its intensity
I discover things I never knew I could feel
You are like a bright light
Shining on my love
Exposing the truth of it
Taking me places in my heart
Never before to have been seen
Absorb
I want
you to rest your head on my chest
When
you need to cry and let it out
I want
my skin to absorb your tears and pain
Let my
heart accept your worries and fears
Heartbeat
Hold you close
Let you hear
That heartbeat
It's just for you
For by Four
For Four months now
I've held your hand
Calmed you down
Wiped your tears
Listened to it all
Every fucking rant
Each and every pain
Tears falling like rain
Made you laugh out loud
When you didn't want to smile
Caressed your battered ego
Assuaged all your fears
Told you I love you
Hugged you tight
Held you close
Heard all your moans
All the ups and downs
Been there without fail
Day or night, ALL night
And now I see at last
The days you don't call
The days you don't message
The days with no contact
The days when I don't exist
I know you have a life
As do I with my kids
I know you have been hurt
As have I for so long now
But I'm there for you
I don't hide behind
My life doesn't intrude
You my love, I include
We were set to heal
Each other’s battered
Hearts and minds and souls
Bandages of Love and care
At least that what I thought
But when the big one happens
You feel down coz this isn't right
You have to get a job and fight
Your art has to step aside
Just for a short while
So you can make money
You go into a spin again
And there I am once more
Words of praise and love
Accepting what must now happen
Little time for us together
I know this and deal
But on the biggest day
Where are you now ?
Nowhere to be seen or heard
I know it's not easy
It’s not for me too
But I wanted to be there
For you on this day
Deafened by the silence
Blinded by the dark
Sleepless with worry
Dragged down by care
I don't want to disturb you
I know there's a lot to do
I wait patiently by the phone
Only to spend my night alone
Not even a message
Nor a quick call
"I don't wanna talk now"
That would settle my nerves
But it seems to me
That it's all one way
Until it suits you
And then it just hurts
Cuts deep into my soul
I've offered up my heart
Like the daft old cunt I am
Bare and open wide
Never felt this way before
So willing to bare my soul
Spread wide for you to enter
Unafraid of loving you
Stripped right back
To the very bones
Everything laid out
Just for you to take
And take you have
With so little in return
Making myself believe
Ends up in make believe
Allowed myself to care
Once more I give it all
And once more the pain
That's all I get in return
Not again, no more
I truly found love
This time deep inside
And now tossed aside
This time I thought
It was for real, so true
Never had I felt this way
The depth of my love
So scared every moment
So blissfully happy every day
So afraid of it going wrong
So wary of your pain
And yet here it is again
A hole in my heart so big
All of my love drains out
Leaving me empty inside
So I retreat once more
No more pain for me
Safe back here again
Behind the wall of loneliness
Here I'll stay now
Alone in the dark
In here it doesn't hurt
In here I can heal
Start
Where
to start
Joy in
my Heart
I so
love you
You
know I do
But
you're far away
On
this special day
This
day hurts like fuck
To
have such bad luck
Our
lives will mesh
And
touch our flesh
The
world will go away
No longer
will it be grey
And on
that beautiful day
All
our pains will be allayed
You
and I are meant to be
Finally
our hearts will fly free
Souls
soaring into the blue
Free
to heal and begin anew
I want to give to you
I want to give to you my pain
So you can feel the things I do
So you can feel the things YOU do
The shit things you do to me Bitch
I want you to dig deep inside me
See the agony you inflict on me
All the bile you spit and spray
Eating away at my soul like acid
Just one day let you see with my eyes
So you can see how much I fear you
Stand in my place in front of you
Feel how you make me feel so small
See the world I do through my fears
Maybe then you will finally understand
Really understand what it is you do
Feel the sharp salty sting of my tears
Feel the way they course down my face
Leaving tracks filthy with your hate
As the pain overflows from my eyes
No matter how I try to stop them
I'd like to see through your eyes one day
Just to see the way you hate me so much
I'd turn my back on you that day too
And then you would discover how it hurts
I would raise my voice to you so loud
Let you feel that spite pouring from you
Look into those hate filled eyes as I screech
Feel your ears close up under the assault
Then you can feel my pain, feel my tears
Taste my tears and scream deep inside
The feeling of barbed wire as a tightrope
And all the colours of life taken from you
Discover my fears, caused by you
The glee in your eyes shining so bright
As you drive in yet another dagger
Twisting it deep as you thrust it in
Ripping into my poor battered heart yet again
Only then will you even begin to understand
Why I am the way I am, you made this, YOU
Didn't like what you had, so you changed it
Now you hate what I've become, what you made
Despising me so much every minute of every day
Hating that I bent to your will, did your bidding
Why you hate so much what you manufactured
You make no sense to anyone but yourself
I used to say I missed you when you were gone
I used to say don't leave me here alone again
But now, that's changed, your hate did that
I used to hide my pain and tears from you
But the day I died and saw your disgust
You looked at me across the ambulance
Like something smelly stuck to your shoe
You thought I was not awake or aware
Sad for you to understand, I was there
Inside of the collapsed weakened body
Seeing and hearing all around me
That look of disgust, the nasty Comments
I heard and saw it all as I lay there dying
How you must have been so disappointed
When I came back from the dead, alive again
That day changed my life for me, no longer meek
In the face of your disdain, I stand now taller
No longer afraid of what you can do to me
I lived without you before, and will do so again
I always thought it was weak of me to cry
But then I learnt that it saved my sanity
And that smile I know use for defence
Drives you mad with yet more hatred
I no longer care about your vicious ways
I know you think I now hate you, you're wrong
I never do, and never did hate you, you're wrong
You will never understand the how or why I care
The smallest of things matter so much
They are the things that make the day
So much difference to life comes from them
A smile, a touch, a hug, a word of care
The small things make all the difference
But you can't see for they are insignificant
To your great grandiose plan for yourself
No one and nothing allowed to obstruct
But now you need to finally understand
Your bullshit and twisted fucked up lies
No longer are believed by me or others
And so you will need a readjustment !
But that will not sit well with you will it
Coz of course you are so omnipotent
Deluded and out of touch with reality
Your "Alternative Facts" backing you up
Backing you into a corner in truth
And as your world grows ever smaller
With your "friends" leaving in droves
Will it dawn on you ? will you understand
Sadly I don't believe you will ever get it
But please feel free to tell me if any of it
Ever does get through, and maybe lead to
Regrets, far too late and useless as they may be
When you do realise that your lies and bile
Have torn apart what you had, so much better
Than you could have ever dreamt of as a child
Swinging on the gate in the ghetto with dreams
Floating around in your head of the White guy
From London coming to sweep you off your feet
Going to love you and treat you right, that needs
You to treat him right so he will stay sweeping
Instead the sweeping got done with a switch broom
Sweep it under the carpet so he doesn't see the crime
Sweep it around the corner so he can't find the crime
Sweeping out all the good and replacing it with hate
I hope you're happy now, for you have succeeded
No more love left here, beaten down and out
No matter how much effort went into salvaging
You put more into lies and destruction and hate
But now it's not just getting away from you
Now it's so much more that you can't understand
Battered and bruised from all of your assaults
Guess what ? this heart still knows how to love
Yes, believe that, LOVE can still reside in here
And it doesn't just reside, it positively dances
Lives and breathes, Flourishes under a gentle
Nurturing touch, that's all it took to rekindle
So now you sit there in your house of cards
Riches piled high around you, or so you think
All the true treasures in your life leaking away
Leaving you to sit there on your plastic throne
Sitting pompously astride your oh so high horse
Gazing down upon the peasants at your feet
Will it sink slowly in as you realise you're alone
Clutching your twisted hatred to your cold breast
I hope it does at last get through your arrogance
Reaching beneath your thick crocodile like skin
At long last you start to really feel emotions
And realise at long last that you did this, you
THEN . . . I WILL, leave you . . . . all alone
Butterfly of Love
So fragile as it flits from flower to flower
Skittish in the air and buffeted by breeze
It lands but briefly on barren stems
But where there is nectar and nurture
That is where it stays for sustenance
The flower opens accepting the butterfly
Both taking nourishment from the welcome
When given so carefree, so gratifyingly
But like the torture wheel breaking
Wings fall to the ground in tiny pieces
Destroyed in seconds so carelessly
The delicate butterfly of love so broken
Love, when strong, can conquer everything
Even trivial stupidity and inane harsh words
The butterfly lies there injured, hurt & crumpled
Love can, and will, with care, be repaired in time
Words spoken foolishly, need to be chosen
Now with care, tenderness and true affection
Must these words that fall from the mouth
For without love and care, hearts will lie bare
Empty and destroyed in moments of insanity
So easy to wound, so hard to retract and mend
Only fools and drunks disregard these truths
Left to reflect and repent the idiocy of their words
Gladness
I'm glad that I wasted all those hours
Wasted for me but not it appears for you
All that time invested in what I believed
Would lead to the love of my lifetime
Turned out to be no more than healing
Your busted spirit and stroking your ego
And now with the first opportunity to arise
You grab it with both hands, grateful for it
The chance now to end this fiasco and be free
Accepting of all the words of comfort and care
Healing you to allow your own faith to return
And then left with the problem of how to end
Your unthinking selfishness provided the answer
Never did you guess that that picture would hurt
But it did, and my innocent request for courtesy
Rejected and ignored with the accusation of drama
Saved you the agony of trying to find the way out
There it was right in front of you, such good fortune
My pain and hurt, you could use it to your advantage
Accuse me of being a drama queen and then ignore
No matter what was now said, nor how bared was my soul
There was your escape, pick and choose the bits you need
And then attack me on those points only, Et Voila ! success
Pretend your innocent and I'm the aggressor, that works
Apologies and explanations now completely pointless
You got what you wanted, allowing you to walk away
Head held high as yet again you are allowed to be the victim
Your own version of the world playing out perfectly once more
Fits all your personal agendas now, you can be free and happy
Your own reality perfectly arranged again, you at the centre
The star of your own show basking in the adulation of your fans
Glowing in the lights of your magnificent stage starring you
The poor downtrodden victim princess so beautifully damaged
Admired and loved by all your groupies around the internet
And in the shadows as I always was for so many real stars
Standing in the wings again, assuring that the show goes on
Your Loss
Your accepting
Your ire
Your anger
Your martyrdom
Your victimisation
Your selfishness
Your drama
Your agenda
Your innocence
Your reality
Your Loss
Small Minds
Small places and towns where we grow
Breed Small minds, don't you know
Making big accusations, unfounded
Peeing on wall in town unwarranted
A big troop of Monkeys in a camp
And the Priests wife ! Such a tramp
Having an orgy with you, towns ugliest
But for one oh so small point, the funniest
This fantasy can be believed like a proud boast
The rumour spread like butter on warm toast
Till you can no longer go outside without ridicule
People stare at the madman / woman, oh so cruel
Fucking Monkeys and the wife of the Priest
Whilst peeing against a wall like a kind of beast
No small feat this, considering everything fact
The physical limitations involved in this act
No matter what kind of shameless tramp
Is married to the Priest dressed like a vamp
But here's the kicker to this oh so fantastic tale
To put an end to all that gnashing and that wail
Stop believing crap and thinking like a clown
There are no fucking monkeys in this town !
Inspired by a joke between my friend Monica Sorensen and I

And in
particular this piece,
“A Thousand
Kisses Deep “
"You came to me this
morning
And you handled me like meat
You’d have to be a man to know
How good that feels, how sweet
My mirror twin, my next of kin
I’d know you in my sleep
And who but you would take me
in
A thousand kisses deep
I loved you when you opened
Like a lily to the heat
You see, I’m just another
snowman
Standing in the rain and sleet
Who loved you with his frozen
love
His second hand physique
With all he is, and all he was
A thousand kisses deep
I know you had to lie to me
I know you had to cheat
To pose all hot and high
Behind the veils of sheer
deceit
Our perfect porn aristocrat
So elegant and cheap
I’m old but I’m still into that
A thousand kisses deep
I’m good at love, I’m good at
hate
It’s in between I freeze
Been working out but, it’s too
late
(It’s been too late for years)
But you look good, you really
do
They love you on the street
If you were here I’d, kneel for
you
A thousand kisses deep
The autumn moved across your
skin
Got something in my eye
A light that doesn’t need to
live
And doesn’t need to die
A riddle in the book of love
Obscure and obsolete
Till witnessed here in time and
blood
A thousand kisses deep
But I’m still working with the
wine
Still dancing cheek to cheek
The band is playing Auld Lang
Syne
But the heart will not retreat
I ran with Diz, I sang with Ray
I never had their sweep
But once or twice they let me
play
A thousand kisses deep
I loved you when you opened
Like a lily to the heat
You see, I’m just another
snowman
Standing in the rain and sleet
Who loved you with his frozen
love
His second hand physique
With all he is, and all he was
A thousand kisses deep
But, you don’t need to hear me
now
And every word I speak
It counts against me anyhow
A thousand kisses deep"
Leonard
Cohen
Interview
with CLiPiCs
I was
born in Guernsey in the Channel Islands, the only part of the UK to be occupied
by the Germans during WWII, as a child I was able to explore the ruins of many
of the fortifications left behind, and also able to speak the odd word of
German, like “Verboten” LOL, actually it wasn’t too funny for a lot of the
generation above me, my Father included, and some close relatives who suffered
the horrors of war.
I left
in my teens to go off to and see the world, well at least the UK to start with, I gigged as a DJ with a difference, covered in makeup and dressed in GlamRags :-) I washed dishes in restaurants, worked market stalls etc, anything that would put food in my belly and then I ended up working in the music business as a “roadie” progressing on to become
a Tour Manager, which I spent a lot of years doing, mostly fun, the occasional
blip but thankfully not too many, and strangely considering my heritage, one of
the places I came to love was Germany, I will return one day with a camera and
go to some of the wonderful places I drove past for all those years , when I
finally stopped rocking the world I got the chance to slow down and indulge my
long time hobby of photography and in doing so I discovered the joys of PS at
the start of 2008 and the rest as they say is a pile of dodgy manipulations,
you thought I was going to say history Dincha ?
Q.
What do you do when you hit a creative block?
A: If
editing and I get a block, shut the image, turn off the computer and do
something entirely different, Movie, a walk along the canal, go for a pint,
anything that will empty the image from my mind, usually when I come back to
it, I see it anew, and either go where I originally intended, or start all over
again, hoping that I don’t hit another block LOL, photography, the same thing
really, put the camera down and walk away from it, ditto with writing, although
that usually tends to just tumble out of me, very few pieces get edited.
Q.
What gets you in a creative mood?
A:
Nothing and everything, sometimes, it just flows, other times something as
random as watching the water run down the plughole, clockwise where I am !
Q.
From what, do you receive the most inspiration?
A: The
“Rose”, women are amazing and as varied as the “Rose” which is why my quest is
to try to “Understand the Rose” although I doubt if I ever will, and it isn’t
just about understanding what makes a woman, or women tick (like there’s an
answer to that LOL) but trying to understand their beauty, be they Slender or
Ample, Short or Tall, whatever, there isn’t a woman on the planet who isn’t
beautiful in some way, be it inner or outer beauty, all women possess a beauty
that somehow men don’t, trying to get to the bottom of that is driving me
insane, not that I have far to go to get there ! the insanity that is, not a
woman’s bottom, er I think I’ll shut up now…
Q.
What was your initial inspiration that got you started in your art/photography?
A:
Both of my parents had an eye for the more beautiful things in life, Art,
Scenery, in particular in my house, Music, my Father was a Violinist and my
house was always full of music, my Mother was a dancer, and loved Ballet, and
my three siblings were all musical, the music ranged from the Classics through
to the then current chart hits, which as a child included the Beatles and the
Rolling Stones, as I grew up I discovered “Rock” as it was known, no silly
subcategories back then, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and the like,
all of which opened my ears and eyes too, to the wonders of the arts, one of
the most amazing things that caught my eye from all of this was an album cover
Disraeli Gears by Cream at the age of 12, who could fail to be impressed by
that !
Q.
When did you start?
A:
Aged about five I guess painting the top of shoe boxes with twee little cottage
scenes with roses around the door, Roses !
Q. How
long have you been shooting?
A: All of my life, well since I could hold a
camera properly really, bit hard to take photos while still in the cot :-)
about five again, on a family trip to northern France, to Mont St. Michel an
absolutely stunning place, and my father bought me a two bob plastic camera, I
think I did the film in before we were across the causeway :-) Mont St, Michel
has stayed with me to this day, and is another place I would like to return to
Q.
What are your goals?
A:
Happiness for myself and my children, and to have someone remember me when I am
gone, a couple of decent sales wouldn’t go amiss along the way !
Q. How
has your work changed in the last 12 months?
A: Oh
boy what a question, hopefully my PS Skills have been honed a bit, my eye has
been able to see more than before, but a large part of my photography has been
photojournalism of late, which I am really enjoying, plus I took a course at a
college, had a great tutor and even at my age I learnt a whole load of new
things, so I guess you can teach an old dog a new trick J
Q. How
would you like your work to develop in over the next 12 months?
A: More
Sales, Money, Money . . . er . . . I am
hoping for an exhibition this year, A distinct possibility in a 200 year old
building YAY, and I have a Gallery on a river, well actually it’s a café with
some of my photos on the wall, but gallery sounds better and arty and swank . .
. ah who am I trying to kid
Q. Who
do you admire the most in the world of photography / art?
A: Art
it has to be Mauritz Escher without a doubt, I fell in love with his vision,
and his ability to twist perspective, I am also a big fan of Constable, and
have actually had the most amazing experience with one of his paintings in the
Royal Academy, I was working with Fascinating Aida and in the process of
setting up the lights for the show was asked to be careful with the placement
as I was very close to an original Constable, The Leaping Horse ! ! ! I was using steps to adjust the lights and
was able to turn and actually touch the painting ! after checking I wasn’t
being watched of course !
Photography;
no one photographer through the years has really stuck in my mind, but there
are some astonishing photogs on the net, not gonna start with the naming thing,
I might lose friends LOL
Q. And
what do you admire about their work?
A:
Escher’s ability to twist perspective and his grasp of maths which I am crap
at, and Constable’s obvious affinity with his subject matter, to be that
attuned must be an amazing thing
Q.
What do think are your weak points?
A: I
have quite a few, one of which is sometimes impatience, and not learning to
bloody well leave it till tomorrow when I have time to finish my work properly,
although I do hold back on posting until I am as happy as any artist can be
with a work
Q. At
what stage, will you be giving up your day job?
A: A
few years ago LOL, I retired from the Rock ‘N’ Roll world and have since
rediscovered my love for all things nature and art, although it never went away
it did spend a long time buried under the stresses of being on the road and
spreadsheets, deadlines, and bloody musicians Tee Hee
Q. Do
you do much editing?
A: Way
too much sometimes, others not at all, the image will dictate to me what it
needs to get it to something like what I saw in my head, it is very rare for me
to set up a shoot and then edit to a prescribed idea, and actually do just
that, I do work to an idea, but as I said the image will dictate the finished
article
Q. Do
you have any strange habits while you are working?
A Only
one habit which isn’t strange when editing, but may be a bit disconcerting if
shooting, I love to be naked, I hate clothing, REALLY hate it, and only wear it
if I REALLY have to, oh dear, now all those people online will have this image
of me sitting there naked, not pretty
Q.
What ‘certain things’ set the mood for you to go shooting or editing?
A:
crap, how to answer that, so many things will spark an idea for a shot or an
image, a TV advert for peas once sparked an idea for a take on “Envy” which is
gathering dust in my “Ideas” notebook, anger can sometimes drive me to work,
and the result is usually the total opposite of anger, Sepia Moonlight was
originally conceived in a fit of absolute rage, following the kicking the shit
out of the filing cabinet I tried to find the point at which I was comfortable
with her again, I think I managed it, I know it returned me emotionally to a
much more stable place
Q.
What is your all time favourite movie?
A:
Easy Peasy, The Dark Crystal never been sucked so completely into a movie as
with that one, and my favourite line ? the scene where the Gelflings are being
pursued by the Skeksis, and they come to a cliff edge, the female, Kira, grabs
Jen, the male Gelfling and jumps, as they fall she suddenly spreads her wings
and they float gently to the ground, when they have landed Jen looks at her and
says “You’ve got wings?” Kira’s reply, delivered in a really offhand way as
though it’s blindingly obvious, “Of course, I’m a girl” ROFL
Q.
Your favourite band?
A:
Start at “A” and go to “Z”, pick any along the way, usually even a crap band
will have at least one decent song in their repertoire, if you had asked
favourite type of music, that is an easy answer, just the one type, good !
Q.
Your favourite food?
A:
Pork Chop and Chips (Fries) dunno why but nothing else quite hits the spot like
this, I will eat almost anything else, apart from Ackee, saltfish or Liver, and
I will always give anything a try, even it makes me feel yuck, gotta suck it
and see, maybe I should slogan a Tee with that ! Eating out, I will usually go
eastern, Thai or Indian, sometimes I go Nando’s nuts, (Piri Piri Chicken) but I
usually pay for that with a sore belly the day after, worth it though
Q.
Have you received formal training?
A: No,
I have followed Tutorials, although not to the letter usually, as I get an idea
halfway through and set off on my own, and that goes with photography too,
apart from that one course which was more fun that it should have been.
Q.
What areas in your art/photography are no go zones?
A:
There are “no go” zones ? art is a provocative form so there shouldn’t be any,
what may be off limits for some can be used to make them re-evaluate their
thinking
Q.
What eccentricities if any do you have?
A:
Chocolate, nakedness and Absolut Vodka while working, but I guess my real eccentricity
is that I can see humour in absolutely anything, I may be blindingly angry or
deeply saddened by something and yet something will reach out and grab me by
the funny bone, including being caught suppressing laughter at a funeral
because I was waiting for the coffin to pop open and the departed to yell
Gotcha !
Q.
What is your favourite subject to work with?
A:
That has to be the “Rose” followed by Nature, Landscapes
Q. Why
do you do this???
A: Why
are you asking me such difficult questions, there I was cruising through this
interview thinking Pah what an easy gig this is and then BAMM ! why, because I
have to find some way of exorcising the raging beast within, giving and opening
up my heart to someone only for it to be trampled in the dirt, making me
cynical and cold hearted, because of the paucity of true affection and real
love that I have experienced, with art I can allow my inner eye to view the
world, rather than the jaundiced and cynical outer one, were it not for my art
and the ability it gives me to switch the world off, I would either be insane
or in a prison cell, I am driven by the desire to understand my quest, I strive
to find an artistic representation of the stability and calm that only true
love can bring, and because I suffer terribly from withdrawals if I don’t work
on something, and like, Right Now! OK
Q.
What gives you the biggest buzz?
A:
Sticking my fingers in a light socket, Oh sorry, actually the biggest “Art”
buzz so far was seeing a piece of mine “Angel of the Sunset” published in
Photoshop Creative magazine, Having “Night Lea” a shot taken at Lea Bridge on
the cover of a novel (Heartless by Casey Kelleher) that and actually feeling
the oils on “The leaping Horse”
Q.
What is the most difficult part about what you do?
A:
Making Photoshop do the things I can see in my head, I still haven’t found all
the options, tricks and shortcuts, finding the peace and quiet that is
sometimes necessary to accomplish something really finicky, learning that this
is the point where the image is finished, and knowing that if I continue to
mess with it, it will be a mess !
Right
then, now that’s over, it’s your round !
Love
