The colour of a face, The darkness of a place, Staring from behind, I am the one you find, I crash to the ground, and pray, You take my breath away, It’s me today, him tomorrow, You do not stop and have no sorrow, Let the men and women march, Down the avenue, under the […]
Eagle Of The Sky
The eagle of the sky, Asks the question why, To death, from birth, We don’t love the earth. Lost in the realm of fortitude, We miss the magnitude Of the Earth’s illness, Of our own madness. Run, rabbit, run, Not from the eagle, but from the sun. Global warming, The Heavens’ warning, It is not […]
The Departed
Forever in my heart and mind, You wander across the crystal lake, Happiness, you will find, Peace, you will make. I might be without you, You might have lost me, But time will see us through, And one day we will see, As everlasting entanglements of love, Continue to haunt us from above, Two souls […]
Nine Plus One Is Ten
I’m writing along, Singing this song, All night long. Number two, Tie up your shoe, Laces, We’re going places, With a puppet’s string, Just the thing. Three, four, Close the door, The puppet might escape, Sellotape, His box, And don’t forget your socks. Five, six, A box of tricks, At sixes and sevens, Up in […]
The Chrysalis
Looking into the future, I am frightened of the past, A fragile chrysalis, a butterfly that will not last, And yet you are stronger than the strongest girl, More beautiful than the largest pearl, Upon my shoulder, you search my soul, You fill me with fear I cannot control, And as you travel across the […]
Under The Bridge
Under the bridge I lie, Sounds of footsteps on cobblestones, City of Lights where love went by, A broken soul, fractured bones. I boarded the moonlit train, You said nothing I did not hear, The carriage moved, I felt the pain, Your absence awoke my fear. I jumped onto the golden rail, Searched for you […]

Facebook – 50 Shades Of Grey (Disintegrating) Matter
I don’t want to judge millions of people who absolutely swear by Facebook. I’m not even arguing with those who get a kick out of insulting others they don’t even know. I suppose it’s my fault – I mistook a boy for a girl, and then criticised him because he posted a video saying that […]
Don’t Fire Dominic Cummings Until He Tells You To
Chief advisor to Boris Johnson, Dominic Cummings, is in a spot of trouble, and only he can advise himself how to act. He is a top advisor, after all. The UK’s Brexit guru and pandemic scientific expert has been spotted visiting his parents, not once, but twice, during lockdown. Now, who’s been a naughty boy […]
Great Sphinx Of Giza
Sandstone eyes shine into the distance, A sphinx bemuses the crystal sky, And as I share with him, this instance, I wonder what he does, and why. Far on the horizon, he casts a shadow, Only he knows what futures hold, Transfixed through time’s eternal bow, He sees the sun unfold. Long, long ago, He […]

And What Was I Doing When I Was Fifteen?
It’s a legitimate question that I must ask myself before I reprimand my rebel son for the umpteenth time. What was I like, when I was fifteen? I reflect on this conundrum as soon as my son finished his dinner – in under ten minutes – half-hanging from the table chair, and having cursed the […]
