myself
that she

too good

true
so

having 
to cover
my ears
to keep
out

the sound
of the bells

At our first date, 
I saw her as the only comforter
To my soul that's craving for true love
& then undressed my mind & soul & heart 
to bath in her anointed river of love 

My heart squinted into hers

A Milk Maid on McDonald's Farm
Incited a sense of alarm
Her grip on an udder
Made all the men shudder
And that was just part of her charm!

Spandex thighs
Spiralized my eyes
Hyper flex her wonders
Set my helix spinning

Genetic refrain
DNA slain phonetic
Double down Maxwell magnetic
Electric blues make life too hectic

Two alarm scribe
Workout overtime perfection
Repetition fired sugar glider
Run your ladder up beside her...Read More

The planet is in pain,
She's crying every day,
Have we all just gone insane,
For Our cruelty she cannot sway,

The trees creak with alarm,
As their bodies we still borrow, 
All we bring is harm,
And a doom upon tomorrow,

Will the whispers in the...Read More

Early sun rising rainbows dance on my wall
I wake up I am late
Early spring late train again

Late home hunger pains
Early dinner a takeaway
Late bedtime too much telly

Early morning feeling tired
Late again turn the alarm off
Early train oh no I missed...Read More

Excercise prevailed best so she had applied,
"Oh goodness, only by an ounce," she cried,
Being in alarm, peered down and wondered,
She now weighed an ounce o'er six hundred.

V-ery fine and sound sleep
A-llows your head to rest; 
N-ever mind the alarm, 
E-ventide does its best.
S-ound sleep's melody
S-ings life's lullaby; 
A-n infant is lulled to slumber neath the sky.

J-ust go to sound sleep, 
A-s the night is falling; 
N-either...Read More

I was nursing a Metamusel Cocktail to keep me on the go,

When I fell asleep in my Lazy-Boy 'round nine o'clock or so.

'Round midnight my clock chimes 'wakened me with a start,

And stumbling over the cat in the dark, to...Read More

We are the children of time 
That big round clock 
Arms like arrows 
Not a minute to be wasted 
In this precious cycle 
Of ambition 
We succeed 
While hearts bleed
Yet we go on and on. 
Growing up isn't tough 
Mature...Read More

She was angry with the daughter!
Lost her temper with the father!
Nearly to death, kicked the cat!
Called her only son “a little prat”!

Family was surprised by her mood,
They have never seen her this rude,
She was always so placid and calm,
Her behaviour...Read More

C-all someone in your corner, 
Y-ou shall have the support; 
N-o reason to worry about, 
T-riumph won't come up short.
H-ave someone in your corner, 
I-nvite the needed aid; 
A-ugust twenty-ninth Tuesday, fret will finally fade.

P-ray for someone in your corner;...Read More

Look-see into the Telly,
let that buy Idol Eye soil your soul
Go to sleep,
and fall deep
into the Cyclops’ belly
Allow the remote 
to take rip van winkle plug control
A lower case hypnotic beam
will put your credit card

         New Year's Dreams



My dreams are simple, my wants
are few.
My vast, passionate dream is to 
forevermore, persist in the love 
I have, aglow, in my heart for you.

That love is my alarm...Read More

Close my eyes
And so it begins
All the swirling thoughts
Beginnings; no ends

Threads unraveling
Solutions tangling
Unfinished questions
Answers Dangling

An itch in my brain
That longs to be scratched
A plan or a scheme
That needs to be hatched

(Alarm chimes)

KISSING LIPS

It all began as a simple hello.  Her lips gently brushed my cheek.  Our eyes met and I softly kissed her.  The warmth of her body so close to mine led to a parting of the...Read More

This Christmas Eve an Angel
Felt the sorrow of the Lord.
Who wept for the many Children
sentenced to perish by the sword.
What alarm and consternation
Could sweep their lives away?
By those who think a Child's extirpation
Would not lead their souls astray.

As Doctors and...Read More

in time to

M-orn seventeenth February
A-ims to meet the light; 
R-ising sun Friday keeps
Y-ou away from the night.

A-fter the Thursday twilight, 
R-ed beacon begins to rise; 
D-arkness has turned 
I-nto warm and bright skies.
L-et the alarm wake her up, 
L-et the dawn see...Read More

I’m not supposed to see nothing else for me, 
than what has been handed down.
The family farm with the morning alarm,
near a derelict rundown town.
To be working there for the annual fair,
that comes ‘round once a year -
Curse what I’ve...Read More

Patience is a virtue 
and a necessity
Sometimes one must
pull up a chair, sit and wait
Patience is key! 

Take. Your. Time.
Let no one pressure you
into meeting an unrealistic
deadline. Do your own thing, 
at your own speed

Running late because...
you forgot to set...Read More

Both feet on the floor, 
Its’ 6am and once again I’m rushing out my door. 
Dressed in a hurry, , showered and shaved,
My mind is cloudy, its’ still in a haze.
I rub the crust from the corners of my eyes...Read More

it's a mistake
i say as my
brain tries
to wake
me

aided by an
added alarm
though with
a charming
melody

this only keeps
me choosing
and pressing
me to press
snooze

which i do
over and over
and over again
beginning again and 
again my melodic alarm

soon only looping
never ending as
is forever be
ginning and
becoming

turning into
a kind...Read More

The battle line is drawn.
Beyond the mystery of your power, 
You've laid us down.
In your bid to get in here you promised to build a tower.

On your shoulder do we rest
Till you daily lay us to rest.
We will end the...Read More
