You are as The silver moonlight Which with its grace Dances on the surface of this lake. You, who penetrates my depths And ripples into my being Causing waves to quake. I will be your shelter, In my open arms I will be your rest. I will be as the caves of old, Within me you may find peace From the raging tempest of the world. You may shutter your e…

In smoky halls where shadows dance,There strides a man with flair and stance.With saxophone in hand, he's seen,Shane Ritchie, the jazz machine. His fingers glide on keys so fine,A melody born from his mind's design.Each note he plays, a tale untold,In his jazz world, he's bold and bold. His voice, a velvet, smooth and low,Sings of love lost and nig…

In childhood's realm, young Barrymore did dwell,A world apart, where trials and hardships swelled.No tender hands to guide him on life's path,Alone he wandered, facing nature's wrath. With naught but strength and grit as his allies,He forged ahead beneath the open skies.No sheltered haven, no familial care,Yet in his heart, a fire burned, aware. Th…

Your face did not rot like the others—the co-pilot, for example, I saw him yesterday. His face is corn- mush: his wife and daughter, the poor ignorant people, stare as if he will compose soon. He was more wronged than Job. But your face did not rot like the others—it grew dark, and hard like ebony; the features progressed in their distinction. If I…

Love me, use me, Never let me go. Quench this unbearable thirst, this fire in my soul. ... Use me, hate me, ravage me, destroy me, As long as in the end you promise to hold me in your arms and love me. ... Grab my neck and pull my hair only keens and moans will be gotten from there. ... Stroke me like a harp, pluck me like a live wire string. Tight…

I took my life and threw it on the skip, Reckoning the next-door neighbours wouldn’t mind If my life hitched a lift to the council tip With their dry rot and rubble. What you find With skips is – the whole community joins in. Old mattresses appear, doors kind of drift Along with all that won’t fit in the bin And what the bin-men can’t be fished to …

An old man going a lone highway, Came, at the evening cold and gray, To a chasm vast and deep and wide. Through which was flowing a sullen tide The old man crossed in the twilight dim, The sullen stream had no fear for him; But he turned when safe on the other side And built a bridge to span the tide. “Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near, “You are…

Love never goes away, Not if it’s really true,…

Something there is that doesn't love a wall, That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it, And spills the upper boulders in the sun; And makes gaps even two can pass abreast. The work of hunters is another thing: I have come after them and made repair Where they have left not one stone on a stone, But they would have the rabbit out of hiding, To ple…

The most important thing we've learned, So far as children are concerned, Is never, NEVER, NEVER let Them near your television set - Or better still, just don't install The idiotic thing at all.

In a dim corner of my room for longer than my fancy thinks A beautiful and silent Sphinx has watched me through the shifting gloom. Inviolate and immobile she does not rise she does not stir For silver moons are naught to her and naught to her the suns that reel. Red follows grey across the air, the waves of moonlight ebb and flow But with the Dawn…

My change: a nickel caked with finger grime; two nicked quarters not long for this life, worth more for keeping dead eyes shut than bus fare; a dime, shining in sunshine like a new dime; grubby pennies, one stamped the year of my birth, no brighter than I from 40 years of wear. What purses, piggy banks, and window sills have these coins known, thei…
