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

Light Is Here To Stay

I am an ember in the night 
Something dark but seems right 
I am moss upon the tree
Someone soft, beautiful, but inside me 
There’s both dark and light 
Sometimes one will take my sight 

When the darkness takes over 
I am rolling like a boulder 
Courageous, dangerous, everything upon my shoulder 
I let it go

Book Keeper

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.

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 – 
a rite of writing, lacking light. 
The time is

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 INSULATION.
Though he still got LIGHT exercise daily
With a SHORT CIRCUIT

Forget Me Knot

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

A Play On Words

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
the metaphor went over your head,
look there is goes.
Giving you the

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 life, sounds obscured, fall for lyrics, fall for rifts, sentences

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 nose
And if you ever asked me
I could even tell you

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 say
Wanting to display down to last detail

Play On Words

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 continue to walk down this path of lust.
