Best Barrie Poems

Each year as Christmas rolls around, as I buckle under the pressure and stress of shopping for gifts for people that already  have everything, I find myself remembering that Christmas of 1954.

Dad had joined the army that year and we  moved from the...

“The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.”
- J.M. Barrie, The Little White Bird

Robins, wrens, sparrows,
quivering, yet silent, still
on limbs and branches, boughs,
heavy with rustling leaves,
their feathers brilliantly flaunted,
in cloaks...

"To die would be an awfully big adventure!" - J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan



Death
A grand
Adventure
God's gift to make
Each breath so precious
Life's sweet echo
Warm and dark
Like the
Womb.

Most of have heard or read the Adventures of Peter Pan
A boy who never grew up and lived in Never Never Land
The rewritten story goes that Tinkerbell is in love with Pete
but in the original shadowed tale, Tink liked her whiskey, neat

Emblazoned on a metalic field
   Leeds coat of arms displays an azore shield.
   Upon a sable chief, this deep black bar,
   Three mullets argent, silver stars.
   On a chain of or, beneath the chief,
   Hangs...

"Shrouded" 

found in the humanity
not in the divinity
many pilates 
wash their hands
of this

long enough
for the clouds 
to descend 
then rise 
fly away 

criminal as charged
electric in the body
the mind already risen
the observer now crucified
takes notes

passionately 
shrouded in the crowd
lux vitae let loose
through holes in the...

Spring is swinging blossoms blow, kissing waving.
   Larks now rising flutter by, sweetly singing.
   Flowers swaying dancing to natures embrace,
   Gracefully sashays.

Written by the hands,
  Of James Matthew Barrie.
Came a remarkable play,
  Of four kids and a fairy.

Of a boy named Peter,
  Who took Wendy by the hand.
Leading her and her brothers,
  To the magic of Neverland.

With childish innocence,
  Written in...

It's all change at Crewe
Rollermakers flattened while riding Crewe's roller-coaster 
The tea factory now shipping booze to the nation 
chester barrie  gone from cutting suits and is now selling flowers 
British rail once built the engines and his now a train garage.
Rolls Royce a...

Words hurt like fire burning inside your body 
Spitting out ashes through your eyes 
Water is building up inside my lungs 
Drowning in reality 
Being with you hurts 
Around you it aches 
I bruise easily 
Your words are like knives
stabbing 
Ripping out my guts 
Sorrow...

~ for J.M. Barrie ~


I’ll wait …

you know I will -
I’ll wait for you … here …
but not a single instant longer than forever
I’ll ply the puffy sky for the
breath of you
(for that world would be the death of you)
pixie dust trailing like fine ribbons
satin...

“It’s very good to meet you,
You look younger than expected,
But guess that’s always likely,
When your status is protected?”
“Yes it’s good to meet you,
Of course I seem just a pup,
I’m bound to look a youngster,
Cos I never will grow up!”
“I heard that you can fly as...
