NIGHT FOREST DREAMING
Dewdrops like diamonds
Hanging from thorns,
A shadowed figure
Quietly mourns;
Moonbeams like fingers
Sliding to Earth
And she lifts one arm,
With no hint of mirth . . .

THE SUNSET
There was an ocean in the autumn sky,
I'm sure it must have been wet:
It glowed like red water but was swirling on high,
Combating the trail of a jet.

A KIND OF NIGHT
It was a gentle sort of night,
A hooting owl and such,
The kind of time we cuddled
And I kissed you far too much,

A FANTASY
The elf of the wild woods and the gnome of the day
Called to the children to "Come out to play"
And they threw down their books and the things in their hands
And went out . . .

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 . . .

The great thing about poetry and verse is it can cover absolutely any subject under the sun, and this is a tribute to those gases that sometimes erupt from us during our sleep when we're least wanting . . .

DARKNESS
He felt the night, he did,
The texture of its skin,
The shadows of each heartbeat,
The love that . . .

HER CLOTHES
When the sun rose high
Over this ball of dirt
And beamed from the sky
She wore a skirt.
Like the sun she . . .

In the darkness of a dream world, In the black inside her . . .

T HE SHADOW
When she screamed
Like a shit-scared owl
At midnight
And he still came at her, . . .

NIGHT FEARS
When I hold her in the night
As the old fears burst
Like sparks of hated light
Unwanted and cursed
I pray for her to rest:
I lightly kiss her breast
And pray for her to rest.

THE LONG BLACK NIGHT
In the dusky night,
Jewelled cobwebs shining wet
Guiding me along:
I walked surrounded
By black splinters of raindrops,
Waiting to get home.
But home wasn't there, . . .

Make of this as you will. A few weeks ago for reasons I have completely forgotten I had a sleepless night and got up in the early hours and for no good reason wrote these lines. I'd like to point . . .

This poem was written in October 2007 in response to all the talk of Hallowe'en and mystery and magic that dominated places like this during that month.

This is a reworking of a little tale I wrote a couple of years ago. It isn't particularly deep or meaningful but a sad little tale of death and years of mourning.

Most of the stories that I share with you have some kind of significance beyond themselves, but I don't think this has!

THE TREES
we were the very devils that misted night
in old September when the witches flew
their way through skies bereft of light,
and magic touched the world with blue...
we chased their fairy . . .

THE SAVAGE MAN
More beast than man,
more red in tooth and claw
than white in love
or green in years . . .
