New set of poems soon...

At the side of this blog, I have added a couple of links to Lulu Publishing where you can buy my poems in booklet or pdf form. I am working on a new set of poems under the title 'Rain Tomorrow'.

So far the running order is as follows:

While Away in Wordchester

I think what I would like to see

Is poetry recited under trees

And in the dark gloom of a shady crypt

A reworking of a Gothic script

Upon the lawns where prams roll

A tall tale or two while we stroll

And by the cannons a dramatic pause

To spark a volley of applause

I'd let my mind wander free

In a citadel full of poesy

Mind games

In hidden lanes

To trip you up

And spells on knolls

Wishing ink wells

And wooden walls

A train of thought

To bridge the gap

Between fantasy

And prose's precise map

Engineered to fit the bill

While perched on a favourite windowsill

A bird's eye view to another town

And all along and down

These streets

I'd let my mind wander free

In a citadel full of poesy

But most of all, what I'd like to see

Is poetry recited under trees

Ocean View

I was thunderstruck from the start

You were a hammer blow to my heart

You went and caught me off my guard

In a storm of emotion

You came rolling in

And I can't remember

Why or even when

But it was always

Wild like the wind

With you

It was always

Wild like the winter wind

The road is twisting round an ocean view

We've got the moonlight bathing us in blue

I see no future for us but I wanted too

I wanted wild like the wind with you

I was thunderstruck from the start

You were a hammer blow to my heart

You went and caught me off my guard

In a storm of emotion

You came rolling in

And I can't remember

Why or even when

But it was always

Wild like the wind

With you

It was always

Wild like the winter wind

The wheels are skidding cross an icy road

The metal grinding as sparks brightly glow

A river of our blood is drowning me

And my love is falling to a violent sea

My last words ever are a silent scream

I wanted wild like the wind with you

I was thunderstruck from the start

You were a hammer blow to my heart

You went and caught me off my guard

In a storm of emotion

You came rolling in

And I can't remember

Why or even when

But it was always

Wild like the wind

With you

It was always

Wild like the winter wind
