I remember ... yes I do, A fleeting memory of me and you. I was small ... maybe three or four, Laying across your lap, staring down to the floor. You'd scratch my back, for what felt like hours on end; You'd try to get up, but I'd say a…

Now I love my long boots, That's for sure; There's something so classically sexy, Of a leather that's pure. But recently I... Fell in love with some shoes; I can't actually afford them, As they're Jimmy Choo's. I admire them... Just like…
I think I have a drinking problem No not alcohol but tea Sometimes I put the cup to my mouth I miss and it pours all over me. I brew up in the morning Full fat to get me on my way Then another as soon as I get to work Its how I start my …
As I drive into the frozen abyss, I leave the world that I know is mine; I enter a land in subtle soft focus, Another place, another forgotten time. Gnarled, frozen fingers, Reach out from the side of the road; The devils dipped eyes slow…
You leave me and my friends sitting in the produce aisle, For most of the calendar year; But then December comes along and you go all Delia, Think you can cook my lovely green sphere. Try hard as you might, you always get it wrong, Eithe…
He stepped silently out of the shadows like a spectre, his face ashen in the cold moonlight, the wind lifting the tails of his suit jacket and playing with strands of his thick, chestnut hair. "So, it's come to this," he said, focusing on…

I've escaped for the afternoon, The in laws are driving me mad; They sit and watch hours of TV, It's anti social and bad. Father in law is old school, A women's place is by the sink; Hasn't budged from the sofa since he got here, Except t…
Daggers of beauty?

Standing in the wistful wind and eager RAIN, The sweet mix of JAZZ and blues playing in my ears; I close my smokey eyes, and DREAM of that NIGHT, And wipe away a mascaraed tear. I think of your eyes, so sapphire, so deep; The WINDOW to yo…

Is grief just intense love that has no home; No longer a vessel to reciprocate? Lingering in the solemn air; A part of mourning we have to tolerate. But if it is love, which no longer has a place to dwell; We should welcome it with open a…
With every voluptuous vowel. Making love with wanton words Moist mouth parted Playful tongue on teeth. Erotic enunciation arouses a hidden heat A foreplay of words A teasing tête à tête. Every breathless sound over your body, stimulates …
Every year on Christmas Eve, I climb to the top of my hill; I feel at one with Mother Nature, And a single tear I'll spill. It's tradition now; I don't climb up there alone. There's my little family, close friends, And the two dogs with t…
Sometimes all it takes is a smile to bring hope; lighten up the day, while others mope. Passers by with their eyes towards the ground; They should turn their frowns upside down. Frowns are contagious, so many grumps about; They fade my s…

I don't NEED anything for Christmas, but I have been good; Although I did pinch my sons chocolates one night, because I could. But what I would like, apart from world peace and all that; Is to be you, Father Christmas, all white of beard, …

A million baby snowmen, float gently to the ground; So innocent and magical, they make not a single sound. Each one so perfect, and individual in the light; Roll them all together, to make the most wonderful winter delight. Add a hat and…
How did you get there, way up high; Floating through the air, in the concrete sky? Hold on tight, and don't let go. What's your story, maybe we'll never know? Perhaps you were at a fair when your balloons took flight; Ribboned pigtails sw…
