A Passing Thought If all words could be heard, You’d hear mine, Tickling your ears And making you laugh. If all thoughts could be seen, You’d see mine, Waving hello When you walked through the door. If all emotions could be felt, You’d feel mine, Smiling for you And giving you […]
If the Shoe Fits – The Word-Wizard
– Ideally to be read in a Scots accent – If the Shoe Fits – The Word-Wizard Five fingers do you have; five toes to Your feet. With one foot you may Stand and rave. With one hand You may greet. A nose upon your withered face; A brow as proud as day; And eyes […]

Flesh and Faith Of saints and marching men, The law-abiding tomes, And subscribers of faith. Flesh be blessed, And faith be atoned.

A Hot Cup of Cocoa Anyone?
A Hot Cup of Cocoa Anyone? There goes the CLACKETY, CLACKETY, CLACK Of the cocoa spoon. Chocolate flavoured false comfort In a mug. Just enough for everybody While they sit and watch The rest of the evening Film. Not for me, no. I’m both too old and yet Too young for that level Of self-denial. […]
The Face of Truth

Synaptic charges ricochet from earth to sky through […]
Siranham
You have my full attention. The river of knowledge runs Wide and deep. Words mingle In amongst the fishes; scaling Depths that know no shiver Of doubt nor remorse. Winged Syllables fill the air with resonant Compulsion; to breathe forth Lamenting changes in the blossoms Of the trees. Cranes digest nouns; And phrases are borne […]

The Overseer – Part One
The Overseer – Part One In this twilight hour I am listening to the chimes of time, Ringing out the ascension of all faiths. As a contemplation of each minute Brings us closer to home. A quieting presence Tames my senses And I am no longer at peace, Neither at mercy to my […]
Mother Nature – (IntPoWriMo – Day 27)
Mother Nature I say goodbye to my beliefs That bring about such tides of grief, That wrack my heart with sorrow’s word, As though a child had not been heard. I lay to rest that child of mine, To let it dream of things divine, While I remain on this fine earth, Until the time […]
