‘DESIRE’

A white heat flash as he cycles past
He does so every day at around this time

I wish he were mine

‘JUST A KISS’

If that’s just a kiss
Then I’m the queen
If that’s just a hug
Then I’m in a dream
If this is just sex,
Then I’m green,
And I’m not green,
I’m in love with you

Just a kiss from your cherry red lips
Just a sultry smile, keeps me going a while
Just your body against mine, makes everything fine –
And it’s always fine when I’m with you

I hope our love keeps death at bay,
Just a kiss, has all this to say

‘IN BED’

A curved shadow in the darkness
Next to me, touching me
Warm and comforting me

I never want to leave this darkness
This magnificent darkness that
Lights up my soul

‘THE FIRST TIME’

It was the first time
The time I had dreamed about
It was funny, it was silly
So very magical. It was the making of me
The day I became a man at last
The first time, the greatest time

It all started one Saturday
Her unsure, uncertain of what she was doing
And me who wouldn’t say boo to a mouse

We sat and started kissing
Every kiss an expression of our love
We kissed for an age
I think we got a little carried away

Things progressed
We tried to undress each other
Tearing at each others clothes
Waiting to see what lay beneath
The undiscovered continent

Events duly progressed
The dirty deed was done
We both smiled and loved
Loved for the first time

We got up and went for a walk
Everyone staring at this startling couple in love
This strange boy sitting in heaven
This radiant girl

It was the first time
It was the best time

‘UNION IN THE SNOW’

Covered in snow your face glows
Covered in snow your arms clutch to mine
Covered in snow, splashing and playing on
A white icing cake, covered in snow

I’ve seen your face but rarely as ace as this
‘Valentines Day’ kneeling in the icing
‘Will You Marry Me?’

Splashing tears upon a cheek
Melting the snow even if it takes all week
I kneel in the icing dying to kiss you
Hold you and marry you
Covered in snow, in sunshine
In rain and wind, in everything

‘HOLLOW’

A dark and grey night followed me
As we decided to go out and I
Became every word you said

I am built on straw,
Nothing substantial,
So I needed you
I fought dehydration, but brought the
Desert with me, but you said you
Wanted a drink so it rained

You said you wanted a tan,
Cloud gave way to sunshine
And you browned

You said I should be cheerful
So I was, and night
Became day

I am built on straw, without
You I’d be blown
Away

‘NO ONE LIKE HER’

A girl called George
I dropped my jaws
I stopped feeling poor
And went out the door

I searched high and low
But found no one like her

I cried
Trod in the snow
Crisp and cool
Salt and vinegar flavour
Out of favour
Georgeless

'DEIDRE'S CAT'

I’m getting hungry
My fur is all mangled
The dog tried to strangle me

I’m getting hungry
I hope Deirdre gets home soon
‘Moonbeams’ she’ll say
‘Moonbeams’

She’ll pick me up and wrap me against her bosom
And I’ll be all warm and cosy

She’ll uncoil my hair and she’ll feed me

God is called Deirdre

‘CONCEALED ENTRANCE’

She gets off the train
Her hair coils in the wind
She softly sings to accompany the wind
In it’s sweet melody

She carries no luggage
Just a smile
Teasing all the men who glance at her
With hunger barely concealed

The wet paving stones capture the rain
The wind blows the water into her face
She tips her head down and hurries along
Singing her song

Her spirits are high
Dispite the blood dripping down
Her trouser leg
Weakening her strides

The wind blows softly against her face
She sings to accompany it’s twisting
And beautiful countnance
It reigns with the wind
Her angelic voice
The paving stones capturing the water
Blood dripping down her legs

‘SAD SWEET DREAMER’

Oh sad sweet dreamer, don’t dream
Get into the real world
Get some sun onto your lily-white features
And do some physical exercise,
A sport perhaps

Your problem is you spend too much time indoors
Sad sweet dreamer replies, ‘Up Yours!’
