Dancing a tango two feet off the sod
Thanks to a poet from Brighton
So many people now give me a nod
With lots of them reading my  writin'
I'm higher than ever and rising each day
Not thinking It may be a deal
I just keep on writing in...

I remember a comic book 
Wheich said "Welcome to Sorrow's End)
     I belive it was Marvels's "lfquest"
Everybody who has a heart 
  Wants an end to sorrow 
The lands of Middle - Earth are filled with dangers 
and the world...

She's looking for the answers that noone seems to find.
As the gears in her head begin to twist and grind.
With all the things she sees how does she still feel blind?

Slowly sliding into the darkness.
Making yourself disappear seems like complete bliss.
What do you do when...

The greatest performance of my life.  
Howard’s proud piece de resistance award  on Poetry Nook for my magnum opus “Rush Amid The Rapids” in their daily member section.
After endless hours of toil, tribulation, energy sapping endeavour and quite a few rejection slips of...

Autumn

She shakes her auburn hair
And Summer's loss is Winter's gain
The heartbreak moment
Here again.

A beauty tempting to the eyes
Her backdrop; painted vivid, scarlet skies
She breezes in like dancing Ginger 
On reddened carpet, the silent seasonal swinger.

Whispering her intention to all who will listen
On slippery ground her...

The world is full of poets 
Even those who don't write are poetry in their own way 
Poetry is the stuff of life itself 
The world of verse is continually growing 
As more people put pen
   to paper 
all around the glove 
People...

After holding a series of mind-numbing jobs
I was craving escape from the track-riding mobs,
And it came to me, then, what I needed to do;
It was look for a way to begin life anew.
Now, I gotta get published, or else!

Well, I'm no dilettante like the rest...

The writer left it there 
He left if for the sharp minds
 Hided it to the beggers 
Sealed with the chains of wisdom
 Those wet behind ears are astonished
 They are taken aback about a useless book
 They see no greatness from the book

Published Poet 

I wrote a poem 24 years ago,
I have forgotten it now,
but I was paid twenty quids
and my plan was to frame it
for anyone doubt 
I was truly a poet, 
My wife was sarcastic of this
paltry sum she didn’t get it
I had joined the...

It's where we are tested
It's where we endure.
No longer feint hearted, 
compliant,
demure.

The storm is the place
where we rise and we fall.
The salty wind whips
at our destiny call.

Growls of thunder drown out
our own cries of despair;
And the darkest oppression
seems unjust and unfair.

Through the howling and chaos...

Reflections on the important things in my legacy, history, and values appear with me were always reading books since I was 5 or six years old sitting in the dim light of my mom's house in a corner in love with the dictionary comparing words...

As Newton found an apple
As Einstein used his mind
In Leonardo's genius
So art and science combined

When Chaplin tugged at heartstrings
Or Mandela called for peace
A common theme unites them
Such that hope would never cease

Teresa shows compassion
Or Rosa Parks stays put
An inner door is opened
That may never now...

The river brings hope
It washes away.
It's banks are the place
Where the quiet people stay.

It's life is eternal.
It twists, winds and shifts.
In torrents it falls. 
In vapour it lifts.

As I sit and I listen..
A new song I hear.
Watch surface light glisten 
Feel anxieties clear.

I bathe and...

Unfiltered Unfettered 
We choose how we see
Ourselves in the mirror
Of eternity 

Don't let the world shape
Who we need you to be
Inside you..a hero
Busting out, to be free 

The click of the shutter.
A dangerous game.
No life is defined
By a boundary or frame.. 

When the people ahead
Flick...
