Premium Member And Then I Kissed Him - Collaboration With Tim Smith
Hot date
Can’t wait

We're at
My flat

Cute eyes
Nice thighs

Admit
She’s fit

So sweet
Must eat

We dine
Sublime

First Kiss
Sheer bliss

Soft peck
On neck

Tongue's twirl
Toes curl

First base
Hearts race

Undressed
Bare breast

Blimey
She’s ‘HE’

No joy
Ladyboy

Fussy
Pussy

Night ends
As friends

Now And Then

My heart still thinks about you – Now and Then --
My arms still want to hold you – Now and Then –
And, even though I know you’re gone,
Your mem’ry just keeps hanging on
And I still think about you – Now and Then.

My friends...

Premium Member And Then I Opened That Door- For Comp
(For Competition 'And then I opened THAT door', sponsor- John Lawless)


My relationship had broken down, when love ran out of gas
so down life's dark and lonely road I dragged my sorry ass.
Could have done with company on such a painful walk
my passenger I'd left behind,...

Premium Member And Then Are Times
When Love comes pounding on a drum,
      it comes on strong and fast and hard
                until two hearts in synch beat passion's song.

Sometimes love comes...

Premium Member And Then He Cried
His love was ever present but quiet…still in it they found relief…so it only stands to reason he’d be quiet in his grief.

There are no rules for dealing with death…which is why, after his wife died,…despite his heart being broken…despite his sorrow…despite all this…he never...

And Then a Flaming Pterodactyl Ate My Homework
It was our third-grade field trip to the Dinosaur Exhibit
We would be touring all the lands that dinosaurs inhibit
I remember the teacher saying “keep your hands inside your pockets”
Then she paired me with the meanest kid, his name was Tommy Rockets
“I dare you to take...

And Then
And Then…

My work finished
     I glanced back at the clock
Ah… The Witching Hour
     Hung heavy on the next tock
My thoughts raced back
     To childhood days

Premium Member Now and Then
Is this the world that was so young
and fresh and fair but yesterday?
From leafy bows the robin sung
Is this the world that was so young?
Wild bees upon the clover swung
And grove and field with bloom were gay
Is this the world that was so young
and fresh...

Premium Member Great Wall of China and Then Some
Block by block it starts to rise, Great Wall of China begins,
A barrier to stem the horde, marauding Mongolians,
Must be bigger and better, than ever attempted before,
Also should be breathtaking, far into the clouds will soar. 

Where on earth do we start, going be thousands...

Every Now and Then I Come To You
Every now and then

I come to you

 A climbing jasmine

through the window

of your heart

a perfumed smile 

'neath cashmere sheets

a sweetened scent

in waking thoughts

an empty porch

with swinging dreams

Every now and then

I come to you

a hush-hushed whisper

on a  restless night

a drop of sunshine

on winter lips

a tender...

A Mile and Then Some
Five thousand two hundred 
eighty feet 
between our first hello
and last goodbye 
Love seems to sprint 
the way light flickers 
from a firefly's particulars.
Marathon matrimony 
Run one race
with me 
let's see how far
momentum takes us.
Tired, panting,
gripping asphalt 
with our fingers 
just to get a foothold 
on a finish line 
we can see.
It ain't always...

And Then That Door-Contest
Oh I thank heavens they're all gone now 
My perfect holiday dinner, yet somehow
I managed to shut my mouth ever tight
When all hell broke loose Christmas night!

"This turkey is tough," I heard them all say 
It's important I smile in a ladylike way
"Oh and did...

Now and Then
Now and Then
I’m writing you in cursive script
Despite computer minded folk
And cell phones where you always spoke 
You’re looking at a clock instead
All other sites are just as dead
But with my plume I let you know
So you can feel the silken flow
My passion with my...

Never...O.K. Maybe One More Time...And Then Never
No it's not anything you may be thinking of
it's in fact a very unknown thing because
you see I have a friend Nick 
and he felt a little sick
and he grew tired of organized crime
so I tried to break him out of his mind
to set him...
