Poet Introduction
Hi I am a lover of writing and i like to share my work I hope you enjoy reading it
Another Dimension
Limited perception
the cause of religions deception.
Standing within an ornate chateau
that's positioned on a discular plateau.
Gasping on violet tarnished air
fly with the silver coated crows
even though
your not physically there .
Domed and conical moulded towns
where evocative sorcerers live
wearing ruby and emerald encrusted gowns.
Dominant irregular pillars
of adjacent,
jagged rock
peer between and watch
the ancient sorcerers flock
they dance beneath an inane
stagnant clock .
Huge suspended

Beneath These Crazy Stars
Do you ever wonder who you are
what is your quest here
and why you fear
going too far .
I have always longed to know
that when we go
will we fly
through a deep ruby sky
that glows .
I wonder can I
will I ,ever discover who I am
you begin in dependancy
reliability ,your infancy
enclosed by blankets of warmth
and safe surety .
Progressions of life
you learn expressions
you ripen
you find the sharp edge of lifes knife
you expire you leave ,
the globe of leaping fire .
who are we all
what are we doing here...
what is your quest here
and why you fear
going too far .

On My Way
Please listen to your mind
which reads between my lines .
Read my thoughts as I dream
each one could come true
each one I truly mean .
I will attain some day
believe me when I say
Iam on my way
even if its posthimous
you will observe
the deserved day.
I can't help who I am
I don't take advantage
and I do give a damn.
Join me within my fantasies about touring
the world
places and famous faces on boats
I paint on seas of emerald swirls .
A fleeting grasp of you in my wallet
its good enough to eat , but I know I can't...

Images Of Saturn
Sitting at ten pence shaped tables
bodies in infra red
all around me
I peer through fenetres
paved in glass
out into the blustery skies
I watch a rainbow smoulder
through the summer air
prismatic is the holder
of the golden sunshine yesteryear
solar picks a colour
of her auburn cola hair
Images of saturn
arise to my eyes
god how I wish
I was back there .

A Cross And A Book
A final goodnight in the rain
an eternal waving
from a fading train .
A goodbye platform
one last kiss
the traces trail through the mist.
A fair well meeting
of eternal burning tears
a stairwell greeting
of yearning years.
A thunderous growl
it climbed with might
on the ground the sirens screamed a howl
deafening the night
blinding tridents of death came down
a plane lost on radar
was never found.
Yet another life
got took
and the wife
got a cross and a book.
an eternal waving
from a fading train .
A goodbye platform
one last kiss
the traces trail through the mist.
A fair well meeting
of eternal burning tears
a stairwell greeting
of yearning years.
A thunderous growl

on the ground the sirens screamed a howl
deafening the night
blinding tridents of death came down
a plane lost on radar
was never found.
Yet another life
got took
and the wife

A Large Chasm
Out here in the void
the infinity has been adorned by deceased gems .
The earth is missing from its place
obliterated into outer space
behind there is a gap no trace .
Where are the bombing advocates now .
It didn't do them or anyone else any good
are they flying towards another galaxy
impaled on the end of a scud .
There was certainly no kudos for this one
as they depressed the button on that final bomb .
Itinerant comets zig zag past
leaving trails of energy
as they lick jupiters mass .
There is a large chasm now
I hope they don't...

Ten Year Old Face
The croquet loop shaped building ,
is lying on its side .
Opposite stands the rusted metal diamonds ,
that form an infant abused fence .
The night is staunch ,
black mist has inherited the moons glistening .
The gentle ,
but temperimental ,
ballad like ,
whistling wind ,
fills you with an incredulous haunting ,
the beaten tarmac all pourous and grim ,
very daunting .
The artificial light emitting pole ,
stands over the playground ,
impaling years of emotion on it .
As it casts its feeble light ,
over the spar chipped yard ,...

Once Enchanted
A jack russel sits yawning ,
on lead pencil shaded mornings .
Street feet doomed,
in every wrong tripped up step ,
they ever assumed .
For sale signs ,
forgotten has been ,
gravel clad,
railway lines .
Remaining public houses ,
where competition priced pints are swallowed ,
in the million liquid ounzes .
Above the sound of beer being pulled ,
you can hear the sound of humming skulls .
Antiquated church spires ,
illegal screaming car tyres,
drunken brawls ,
and police infested telephone wires .
Strange people ,
falling...

A final blink of indigo
Ancient clouds crash together ,
as gone pilots whistle their sounds ,
through the old stormy weather .
Ghosts of Lancasters from long ago ,
climb the heavens of indigo.
Old captains flew over towns,
of burning church spires ,
cold and wrapped in leather gowns ,
at the controls of spitfires,
Planes fell from the sky ,
a final blink,
from a gunners eye ,
Buried in Norwegian ice ,
stuck in a graveyard sky ,
rest in peace ,
good luck ,
goodbye .

iced emotions
Lying in a frozen pit of tears ,
images of the past materialise ,
spectres is all that appears .
Apparitions of iced emotions that ,
are lost ,
buried deep within your ,
imaginations apathetic frost .
Searching desperately for the fragments ,
of a prior life ,
you know you can't find ,
trying to dig out rotting corpses ,
from your impoverished mind.
Trying to thaw out frozen feelings ,
trying to claw back water to the land ,
back to the harsh windy, wet kneeling
upon the shores of bitter , broken
desperate sands
when you just...

Holding on
Desperately holding on to something,
in the last hour ,
you dont know ,
it let you go ,
it already had a hold of you ,
before you knew ,
gone before you could cower .
Youve slipped away,
on the appointed day ,
nobody escapes the stairwell tower.
Life the compulsory addiction ,
post existence the impossible prediction .
Running away from the spiritual crew ,
you dont know that before you were born ,
it already had you .
We are reaching for a life with no pain ,
maybe we can on another plain.

Solar systems apart
We all strive to stay alive ,
people work hard to survive,
were all bees in the hive .
Some get nowhere ,
one shirt to wear ,
no bus fare,
their penurious,
with only stories to share ,
ready to tell you destitution it waits to ensnare.
Then theres people who do nothing,
they seem to have all of everything .
They infuriate ,
as they castigate,
those who didnt recieve things on a gold rimmed plate.
Platinum spoons ,
cornise adorned ,
hardwood floored ,
ballrooms.
Ornate spindled stairs,
crimson studded ,
velvet rose...
