majestically erupting into a star filled night   
nor do I love you like the pearl painted swan
gliding effortlessly across a pristine pond

Fear not for I do most certainly love you -

But my love is more...

A year ago, the Russian state launched an unprovoked attack
Seizing land from Ukraine but they've bravely fighting back 
If Russia can't have it, they operate a policy of scorched earth
And turn many towns and villages into mounds of rubble and dirt. 

Russia then weaponised their...

Dear Carolyn:
Another letter from another tour
In this place in the sand they call Helmand
This will be my last, for you can be sure
To never look back on these Afghan lands

What, Where, Who

If I where asked the what, where, who
That drives me to write poetry
I’d say that if I only knew
I’d leave right now this misery

But I’m afraid I’m not the sort
To answer in straight fashion
I have to offer my retort
With words of heartfelt passion

For...

Take a moment of your time
And listen to your heart’s insight
Think about what you should write
Will it be personal or fictional?

Should your poem begin with a rhyme
Or should free verse be your style?
I doubt you’ll discover the best the first time
But you can be sure...

(enjoy the puns) 

I happen to be a busy bee
always racing with time
since time how it flies for busy bees
Ah wish I could just lasso it
like a cowboy does his horse

I...

to a purple land, a paradise realm

Insane

Defiantly I admonish you to just leave me alone,
Stop following me incessantly like a rowdy foe.
How forcefully must I tell, you've lost your soul,
Your sinister ways to love me I do not condone.

You shadow my presence everywhere I go
Blatantly invading every peaceful place I know.
Lurking...

Here I go again, laying my head, on the line, how droll
As I rummage around for any last bits of my sorry soul

With the now vacant space my thoughts can roam free
But, no one is listening, so with silence, I cannot agree

Are not my thoughts...

As the time flies ever so fast,
You and I know our friendship will last
As the sun announces the arrival of dawn,
The clock of precious existence is forced to tick on
When the stars gently twinkle in the sky,
Lighting up our canvas of unremitting life, 
The earth...

There's only one thing in life of which you can be sure
and that is that death will come knocking at your door.
It might not be for a very long time
but your fate is just as certain as mine.
So live your life like there's no tomorrow,
do...

WHENEVER I’M NEXT TO YOU (DUET)

She sings:	 
Whenever I’m next to you, 
I feel a little shy
But, when you kiss my lips, 
I feel like I can fly

He sings: 
Whenever I’m next to you, 
a fire burns deep inside
My mind tells me let it go,...

The Chance to Love You All Over Again

A romance so intense was a gift I received, once so consuming and hard to believe

my trust in you always is the...
