The Spirits of Culloden
The Spirits of Culloden. 
This is like a pilgrimage, a try tae come every year,
Gather at the cairn, meet old friends, wipe away a tear.
Standin on that moor, that once with blood was sodden,
Paying respects...

Was I being punished for something I did or some type of display?

Inferiority Is Complex
She had a masters degree,
from Trinity Cambridge,
was brokering deals in the city,
with overheard talk re. financial leverage. 
Whilst I’d a diploma

A photographic memory, 
from heart she could recite, 
the Shakespeare plays and

Mae West's Room

Every hierarchy exists
dependent upon those below to support it.
Can it be any different with the gods,
when some are greater and some are less?

We all are gods and isn’t that the point
in Orwell’s book,...

The Naked Ramblers Society
Wobbly bits , Hairy bits and dangly bits galore
So if you're feeling squeamish
Draw your curtains and lock the door
For today is the day in Yorkshire 
When the naked ramblers go on tour.

They will walk beside...

One big boom reverberates, 
we shelter 'neath the railway bridge, 
the swirling wind ensures we get a soaking anyway. 
The Croal is roaring well above the watermark, 
the nature lover in me hopes the smaller...

Cities
The big debate : “What is a city ?” –
A town created by a charter
And often with cathedral church
But sometimes with an ancient abbey.

St David's, Pembroke is the smallest,
Just twelve hundred citizens
And London is by...

Simon Lawson
Simon used to take part in motocross,
Before his bike stalled once mid-air,
When he was training on his farm land,
Which left him paralysed waist down.

He was born in 1982 on the 7th June,
And having fought back...

Premium Member King of All He Sees - A Royal Digression
1066
Sad day on Senlac Hill.
King Harald takes an arrow 
Through his royal eye.
And that Norman bastard,
Duke William, steals his crown.
Though it’s embroidery, 
Not tapestry, tells the tale,
He finds himself the king of all he sees.

and where we are, often determines, who we are. 
Too many don’t acknowledge God’s greatness,
and therefore can’t discern the...

So much love my heart contains,
Baby, you're as beautiful as the summer rain.

It's been so long since we spoke last,
It's ended before it's begun, it's already past.

Though you were never mine, you cause me so...
