The Wailing Guitar

Dying leaves escape their own tree’s shade
We’re in a draught, spare me your tears

The land is levelled by green bo......

All That Remains Of Yesterdays Wishes
...Old flame memories, and game show repeats,
viewed through tobacco, it's smoke fills the room,
loneliness, only, stays glued to defeat,
blue-bottles, can't help, but choke on the gloom.

Dreams l......

The Warsaw Uprising
...What is freedom?
The brief period of anarchy between the last tyranny and the next?
Are we free if we cannot see the cage?
Or feel the chains?

Pride
...PRIDE

I went in search of pride
When  I found her; she was so proud of herself
She prided herself about like a peacock
I told her the humble truth of life
Pride, you need to get down from your......

Hoar Frost
...HOAR     FROST



Multi-fingered trees drowned in the mist
Mist like the cold hand of death coming to Ramses
Last night’s mist  -  purifying spirit
Enveloping all in the frost

Tall and majestic, reaching the sky,

The Rehearsal
...Today I stopped waiting. 
I had promised distance.
I never break promises,
but this time,
it was survival.

The day fell,  
and the night came,  
shrouding me in shadows,  
where silence echoed,

calling friends, only a few replied.

Beside the running water
Falling down the hill
I met a young man , handsome and good looking
Yet, frazzled and bored 
Sitting all day long 
Beside  the running water

Young man, why......
