MY HISTORY IS ONE OF SADNESS

 

My history is one of sadness

Lonely and loveless

No memories of joy to comfort

Only the emptiness

Of a life spent alone

Like Robinson Crusoe

On his desert island

I sit surround by the ocean

Inhospitable and deep

In my life the ocean is the world

The blue water

Its inhabitants

Washing up to my shore

But always washing away again

Tantalising and teasing

But I cannot embrace the waves

I must remain alone

On my desert island

Looking out to sea

ABOVE A MOONLIT MEADOW

 

Above a moonlit meadow

The stars begin to shine

As I plight my troth in earnest

And hope to make you mine

IT’S POSSESSED

 

My Sky Box is on the blink

It’s possessed, I'm in no doubt

It records all the programs I don't like

And plays them back when I’m out

EQUINE DEMOCRACY

 

They were voting in the House

On a Bill that had Parliament split

It was to give horses the right to vote

In the end the neighs had it

THE POET DIPS HIS QUILL

 

The poet dips his quill

In the inkwell of the muse

The resulting flowing words

Are the fruit of thought

Gathered on the page

In a Poetic harvest

IN THE WELL OF THOUGHTS

 

In the well of thoughts

The wordsmith dips his cup

In search of inspiration

And drinks deep the draught

But when the spark is struck

The muse was present

At the moment of conception

WHERE IS THE KISS

 

Where is the kiss?

I have craved

A kiss on ruby lips

Of brazen red

Where are those lips?

I have desired

Lips like soft petals

Slight parted

Where is that mouth?

That bears the lips

That holds the kiss

That I desire

Is it kissing another?
