I have been writing poetry since 1982 aged 11 and have had one published out of the 300 i have written (lack of money preventing publicasion)i have included a selection of my favourite poems on this page for your viewing.
_____________________________________________ ANGELS ON MY MIND: I was young, the road called my name, freedom beconed to me come play my game. I was torn between all of my dreams,I needed something that was out of my reach. I couldn't give anymore than I had, so I live without you please don't be sad. As I take to the highway leaving my angels behind, riding the northwinds with angels on my mind. I was lost, I was searching the endless road looking for someone, I didn't know, I was cold I was standing in the pouring rain, guess i was just running away from the pain. So I broke from the highway leaving the rain behind, I feel the northwinds and angels still on my mind. I searched hard and found my destiny, one day I swear you will be proud of me, and I know deep in my heart that I will love you though we are apart, and sometimes running thrpugh my head, thoughts of you and words i should have said. I've broken from the highwayleaving my fears behind,found anew direction with angels still on my mind. Angels on my mind, laughter in the sun in so little time, angels on my mind, every day we are apart I find, angels on my mind. _____________________________________________ THE ROSE: I turn not from the moonlight in her eyes yet lay to rest the wilting roses of my heart each silken petal that fell from my eyes I lay to rest with days we are apart. _____________________________________________ UNTITLED: See a blank piece of paper then I search my heart, the pain rushes into the ink, then the words I feel tear me apart as I write down waht I think. Through each heartfelt stroke with my pen, I reveal my inner pain,with my heart held out there I stand as the tears fall like rain. Soon all the things I want to say are there plain to see, will the person they are for realise they are their words from me. _____________________________________________ UNDER THE SUN: There are so many roads I must travel down, a song to be sung in every town, dreams to be caught a life to be bought an angel an a heaven I have found. There is a tiem and a place for everyone, a song for love, a song for fun, there are tunes to be played plans to be made an angel and a heaven here under the sun. _____________________________________________ THE FIRE OF LOVE:(prose) Touch my hand feel the heat, the fire that burns deep within my soul yearning to be free from that eternal prison. Though my body and mind wish to love until the fire burning in my soul has broken these chains I can not love, I can make love yet can not give love until it is given to me. _____________________________________________ STANDING PROUD: I've been living my life in yesterday and I have been branded a fool, but I've taken all those games they play and broken every rule I`ve taken everything they have thrown at me and I've been kicked to the ground, I'm standing tall now that Iam free they will see me standing proud. I've fooled around on the darkside maybe broken one or two hearts, travelled around, hitching a ride always ending where i start. _____________________________________________ SHORT AND SWEET: I sat and watched you sleeping so peacefuly felt the way ypou breathed so gracefully then I kissed your cheek and sighed so happy you are here by my side I knew that I loved you so and swore I would love you more than you would ever know. _____________________________________________ SECOND CLASS FACES: In the dead of the night I stand alone a stranger on another lonely road, the ghostly ffaces never change this road still looks the same The college bred demons hunt me down crawling through my soul without a sound I'm running further from the light deeper into the depth of night Still those second clas faces with heir first class status kick me to the ground they can't keep me there this I swear I will always be standing proud They tell us what we should do and say does it make a differenve anyway?, I'll never listen to their first class lies I will stand and watch those demons die They are all living by what they are told, work all your life die when you are old, I know that Iam different one day they will see nolonger will people ask who is he? _____________________________________________ SHOOT OUT: The sun whent down over El Paso town, two men stood in the street hands at heir sides ready to die this is where the two men meet Then a childs light screamed in the night ``don't shoot daddy!`` she cried As the man turned around he was shot to the ground in her arms her daddy died As the floor turned red her daddy was dead he had made his final stand nd as she looked around at the blood on the ground she feltthe gun in her hand. _____________________________________________ NATIVE PAIN: See the red man face his fears see the white man sheds no tears see their freedom ripped from their hands see them fall like grains of sand see their dreams shattered.broken see their land taken, stolen see them hide their childrena nd wives see the whiteman taking their lives. _____________________________________________ LOVE STILL GROWS: In the night the pain grows stronger In the dark the hours become longer In my eyes the love still grows In the dreamland the roads are wider though unforseen they become straighter and in my heart the love still grows Inmy hands the tenderness lingers In the touch was sweet surrender and in my soul the love still grows _____________________________________________ LIKE A DREAM: Like the sunset over the sea like the flower to the honey bee I will be here until the end of time writing my love for you in every line like the pain to a poet or the love in a sonnet I will be the driving rain if you will be my path to fame Like a dream in the dead of night Like an owls moonlit flight I will be there for you to hold keeping you warm when the nights are cold Like the notes to a perfect tune Like the sun to a perfect june the most perfect art I have ever seen the most perfect place I have ever been. _____________________________________________ LAND OF SUCCESS: Celtic dreams ona baron shore banshee screams from behind closed doors celtic myth of the woman in white cover your ears as she takes flight upon this land music strives into eachsmall child husbands and wives this island was once called sweet tenderness since the banshee has flown it is the land of success. _____________________________________________ |
