she was tough
(as they come)
in a coat
of pain
she was harder
than diamonds
left out
in the rain
and she smiled
qualified
at how life
slipped away
and she wallowed
in strength
tíl her
final day
no one
knew her
her fame
was too great
so she built
a blood moat
that circled
her fate
sexy as hell
cold
as a stream
her talent
too vast
to thrive
in a team
so let it
all out
you might
as well
the back door
to heaven
is the entry
to hell
so sleep
little bird
but soar
like prayer
and I'll tell
the world
that once
you were here

Evermore(for Michael)
September's not a friend of mine,
In,fact it is a foe.
So many far off places, shoulder's shrugged,
And can only lamely lament,
that I simply, cold not go.
The days seemed to be,
a constant managerie. With, no place,
Safe enough to land,
Thus The struggle within doubts and mire.
For the two go hand in hand,,
And so I spent the summer, love.
Wrapped, cocooned, in your warm embrace,,
The sunlight, dancing, majestically, and,
Quite slowly, tracing new lines on my face..
Summer's always been my special love, ,
But, alas. August, is not anymore..
Perhaps, next year, I'll come sauntering up your walk.
Fall mums and leaves, crunching, neath my feet..
And leave a note upon your door.
Your's, for Evermore.

In the small half-light
where shadows fall
I saw you walking
ever tall
ever unsure
whether to come home
from the fields
where you do roam
Why do you wait
incessantly
to fix a date
where we will see
your presence here
is what we miss
so lonely times
I can dismiss

I sit transfixed
as thought it flies
to see warmth twice
inside her eyes
some bound for town
some bound for death
a carraige full
of moving breath
a look of hue
intercepting night
and all else there
is prop and light
mechanics aside
a rhythm in train
I see her eyes
on the window pane
and doubt and grief
run far away
as we share
the transit of a day
for even Yeats
or Neruda's verse
would paint her well
but paint her worse
some hearts
will always poets be
I smell her skin
and know.. not me
not me.

You're hands are rough
Like a mountain Pitt
They surcomb to evolution
Must we not forget
The troubled times
Theve being around a lot
Mulucking through the dirt
On the old farm.plain
Tillaging through the dirt
They are all.hard and wrinkled due to passing time
But your hands tells a story
Of glorious times
Gone by
Your hand take up your pipe
With a little shake
No more will they work
On the little tillage farm
You.pet your dog
For all the work done
And take up your pipe
To puff and blow
No more will you worry
About the past times gone.
The End

It has always been a desire, an unfulfilled will
Making love in the rain, by the sea
I remember how it was today, such an autumn day
You and me, on that beach at night, on a one-way trip
Just the two of us, the sea, the moon
I wish you were mine and you wanted me to be yours
No stars to count, the overcast moon
I lay you on the sand, I launched myself the discovery
I gently touched your face, kissed your neck
You shivered, I felt like a boy and a boy
I didn't need light, I didn't need to see you
Just with the touch, I felt your body tremble
Shivering wasn't from cold, it was from deep desire
And I absorbed by your body, the world could end !!!
With my hands between your thighs, I kissed you fervently
I wanted to take you that night, very slowly
Explore every inch of your body, indulge me in your beauty
I never wanted anyone like that, I was sure of that
The clouds covered the moon, the little rain was falling
And I between your breasts, I was discovering you
The rain wetted our bodies, it didn't stop us
Our desire didn't cool, in the rain we would love
The rain that fell, the sea that bathed us, your salty body.
Unique, delicious flavor, sacred moment.
Two bodies that joined the rain, souls that satiated
Promises that were fulfilled, wishes that were fulfilled
Moist moans, torrid wills, madness of youth
Common feelings enjoyed to the full
And it was that night, wet but hot
That I kept the memory of the two of us in my mind.

it took forever to my find my forever
a metaphorical mooring by sea
it was a tougher search to find her
and if you’d ask her I’m sure she’d agree
the beach is a natural kilometre
I trusted the distance by guile
we planned our dream house together
I knew that she’d furnish in style
at 5am each morning
as the dew makes kings of the grass
I’m stretching and preparing to enter
a sea that’s the colour of glass
the gulls sing high pitched and often
plunging and rising again
a fox is eating my flip flops
and discovers they’re more than size 10
I sit on the rocks when I’m done in
and chase my breath till I see
a cup of hot steaming coffee
improbably right next to me

would you say it's o.k.
If I fooled you in all aspects of everyway.
Made you vote for me... represent you... even cared for you...
Would it matter if I chattered some truth in my youth.
Probably not.
I wish it was funny.

When that moment comes, before sleep invades your space,
Just for an instant, you can dictate tomorrow in this place,
The star of this show will be someone you know,
Where you can go, where you reside with nothing to hide,
Tomorrow can be your show, so, what you dictate my friend,
To yourself,
Is how it will be and how it will end!

I feel a burden in my life
Having no one in my life
It's too hard to wake up
Seeing no one by my side
Request for a lady to come
Into my life to be on my side
I will feel satisfied to have
A loving wife may be from
Long distance but generous and kind
I will take care of her
As she takes
care of mine
She will live in my heart
I will live in her heart
She will never feel bad
As I will be her husband
Never she regret
To be by my side-by-side
Love is forever when it is from both side
