This short poem was written a few months ago and is a celebration of life.
OUR WORLD
So the world is there, she said,
The world we share is there,
The nectar from the honey bee,
The dreaming . . .

LOVING
Beneath the burnished glow of starshine
Where nightmares breathe and grow
I shivered as shadows swamped me
And drowned where their rivers flow
But you were there to save me,
And succour . . .

I wrote the following verses for my wife Dorothy before she became my wife. Although we're both well stricken in years we've only been married for six months. I suppose all the best things have . . .

FOR DOROTHY
(In Herculaneum we saw and marvelled at a display cabinet that held a coil of 2,000 year old rope that had somehow survived the massive destruction caused by the eruption . . .

NOT MUCH TO SAY
There isn’t much to say to you
That isn’t from the heart,
Of this and that and daisy chains
And never, ever part,
And . . .

This is the first poem I posted on-line, on a different site, and I thought it might deserve a second outing here. Just because something's a couple of years old doesn't mean it's worthless!! . . .

A BROKEN NIGHT
I felt her breath on my neck
In the sodden night
When a shadow mischievously touched
Her hair with light.
She sighed and rolled her head
Darkened and free
Taking the warmth . . .

My wife and I have been away for a week in our caravan, enjoying the Lincolnshire (UK) countryside, and with us we took a couple of bottles of home made wine, one of which had its origins in . . .

THOUGHTS AT NIGHT MY LOVE
There's absolutely no way I want to be apart from you, Not now in the breathing day, Not for a heartbeat moment So beware brother death, take care Not to come this way . . .

THE TRUTH
"It was like a dream," she said, "The way you held my hand, The way you looked into my eyes - I'll never understand..."
He shook his head and smiled at her, She felt her insides squirm, . . .

EQUALITY
When he died, the rich man in his bed,
When his heart gave way and he fell silent,
They came, the men in white and scowls,
And didn't care that he was ancient;
The dead have . . .

Whilst trawling through some of my earlier poems I came upon this little one, entitled "The kiss", which is self-explanatory.
THE KISS

We stood . . .

WRITTEN ON A COLD DAY
I felt her mind with mine,
Its contours and its shade,
I held her thoughts with mine,
Whilst deep inside afraid
If I touched her love with mine,
My hopes would be betrayed. . . .

It's a year since I posted this little haiku-inspired poem on another site. Dorothy is now (but wasn't then) my wife and, to be soppy for a moment, means everything to me. Therefore, a year . . .

SO I GUESS WE'RE ONE, MY LOVE
There's a rumour in the rooftops
Down Chingleberry way,
A whisper from the rodents,
A murmur on the day,
A tiny bit of wisdom,
A nugget square and true, . . .

The photograph is of my wife Dorothy and was taken in August 2008 against the background of the ancient town of Pompeii. We had become man and wife a couple of weeks before I wrote the poem in November . . .
