in measured breaths
I do begin
to think upon thy face
yet upon these thoughts
my breaths, once calm
take on a quicker pace
as does my heart
with passion’s meter
begin its wanton race
to capture yours
and my desires
in passions interlaced
reworked
SHAME ALL OF THE POETS
shame all of the poets
for their art dares condemn
that which we are sold as truth
by more moral men
imprison verse contentious
that move against the creed
deny their revolution
and the questions that they breed
censor and damn the artists
who strive to realise
the beauty that is hidden
from more blinded eyes
sacrifice the poets
on the altars of your lies
but beware, in doing so
their words you’ll sanctify.
Shadows
in the half shadows
only with whispers of light
are your secrets told
Intent
that I may undo you with simply a word
with phrases said softly, intentions unheard
that I may impart each wish and each need
with only a whisper planting the seed.
that I may undress you with but a glance
looks traded between us in visual dance
that for those few moments the knowledge is clear
a pact pure between us, a promise sincere
Exposed To You
exposed to you in naked lines
I draw from worlds I’ve not made real
save for the cosmos of my rhymes
a universe of verse revealed
read each word on tender lips
that they find life beyond this mind
the ink-stains on my fingertips
made flesh and blood for you to find
let each sound roll upon your tongue
in syllables an imagined kiss
for from these words desire is wrung
in hoped release, unscripted bliss.
She Lives In Dreams
she lives in dreams
which dare not be remembered
and she haunts desires
yet to be realised,
of her oft imagined sighs
I am left bewitched
as she lays bare in fantasies
which my senses tantalise.
Deft in Breath (part one)
from the chastity of day released
night’s first kiss falls on my brow
it’s shadowed passioned touch unceasing
with boldness that the dark allows
and in that pitched imagination
my blood is raised to meet the dreams
that build upon the blind sensations
deft in breath of touch redeemed.
The Broken Poem : 2017 (reissued)
today I found a poem
and placed it in a book
I hope it’s there tomorrow
I’ll be sure to take a look
It had a broken stanza
and had torn its second verse
which is why I rescued it
to prevent it getting worse
so hopefully by placing it
with others in my book
it’ll one day rhyme again
with a little bit of luck
