Write here, right now. Write now, right here!
Capture the moment while it's near 
and seize the day. You now know how: 
write now, right here; write here, right now. 

The rhyme is tight. The time is right 
to write some rhyme this time of night...

You stake a claim to a broken heart..
But, in this script, YOU have played that part.
 
The illusion of reality is what you're willing to pay.
Consumed with another, has lead your heart astray.
 
Your vile of poison, has quelled my love and my trust..
All because,...

You fell for a punchline
when someone’s telling a joke.
You spoke to an undercover cop
trying to buy some coke.
You like repeating quotes,
spoken words,
You wish you wrote…

You see when a poet speaks
words are spoken.
You listen with your heart,
and your nose is open.
Right this minute preforming my pro’s

On purpose there may be a presumption
About poems and must make an assumption
From me which will be waiting for you and you
Wanting to inspire by reading of mine a few.

On words ours might become a precarious play
Regarding what each poem will try and...

A PLAY ON WORDS – LIVE

The power failed on Thursday night.
I was left completely in the dark..
So I rang an ELECTRICIAN
To see WATT he could do
His response wasn’t very POSITIVE;
Because of the CURRENT crisis, he said
He’d decided he would go to EARTH
And stay OHM in...

Thoughts of death.
Life roulette.

Play with fire.
With ones desire.

Beyond the norm.
Not to conform.

Quiet, Talk.
Quick-witted, jabberwock.

Past, present.
future judgement.

Chained domain.
Free reign.

Love to hate.
Soul checkmate....

Play On Words
I can strive to do my best.
I do not regret life.
I care for my own and others
Never shall I forget those I love
I shall forgive
Never

Let us view the other side

I fail at everything I do
I hate my life as it is
I don't care for anyone
I...

Rudolf and the Play On Words
Rudolf was in his Tundra cave with his wife
He poked out his nose and said, its raining outside
She said, are you sure it is rain, it looks like snow from here 
Certainly he said, Rudolf the Red knows rain dear 
I have a very soaking...

A man in French is ” homme”;
drop the “h” and add a “p”
“homme” becomes a “pomme”, 
an apple. And if I’m not mistaken
isn’t that how the first “homme” 
got to know “la pomme fatale”?...

The book keeper
mops the slush pile,
dusts paragraphs,
adding a vase of clarity
on the table of contents,
creates settings
for the ghost writer
to slow down
run-on sentences,
mends torn sheets -
Oh, tearsheets…
Anyway,
in the end
wraps a nice soft cover
around everything....

Music Is Life
With you’re feet in the air, and you’re head on the ground, vibration like a heartbeat, is an amazing sound, it keeps you stable, it keeps you pure, it makes you realise, there’s so much more, get lost in music, lost in words, reality of...

A long piece of string
is shorter when knotted.
Memories entwined, enraptured 
are captured, confined 
to remind in locket.
Held dangling over the heart,
on string tied behind 
the neck, knotted
