A Caged Pearl
She ponders her world over the rim, of another mug of coffee,
not wishing time away, as there are places she needs to be.
Yet in her head she is spinning, her thoughts are all in a whirl,
oh to many distractions, yet her smile glints like a caged pearl.
Each day is so very different, no two can be the same it is said,
if only she could make her choices, and just quell this busy head.
bkewl.
Starbucks
Young people chatter, in a corner, all coffee shops are good for this,
some are talking, but some just listen, others plan, some reminisce.
Cups are empty, table cluttered empty plates, still they chatter on,
the room is buzzing, a sudden silence, I look up to find them gone.
Times gone by, we all have been there, groups of friends all around,
but this passes, new directions, can't retrace that hallowed ground.
Can't go back, so are memories fading, never is the same somehow,
a coffee shop, all filled with chatter, brings so much back to me now.
bkewl.
Sleeping
An angel came into my life and rested sleeping on my arm,
I wanted to wake her, but I might cause her some alarm.
So I just sat and watched, her lips trembling in her sleep,
I wonder of what angels dreamt, so that they might weep.
bkewl.
Paper
A piece of paper cuts my hand, like razor sharp light,
as if from nowhere red spots, appear upon the white.
It is the innocent things it seems, can hurt so easily,
a plain piece paper is not a weapon of choice you see.
I turn for consolation, as always I'm alone in this place,
even the clock is silent, it's blinking eight's in my face.
So know one sees me bleed or ever shares my pain,
I'm now wary of the paper, as it may yet attack again.
bkewl.
Found You
I found your name here upon my lips,
did you place it there as I as was sleeping,
I try to catch it with my fingertips.
I found your smile in my head today,
into my thoughts you are slowly creeping,
carefully, I don't want it to go away.
Your voice was in my ear whispering,
words that are only said between lovers,
I cannot hear others, as I am listening.
My dreams place you here in my bed,
as we roll beneath the tortured covers,
each feeling spoken, with words unsaid.
Your shadow cuts my path and I turn,
did you slip away so fast that i missed you,
to see you there in silhouette, I yearn.
I found you there in my heart today,
it was a nice surprise, but oh what to do,
I only know that its there to stay.
Found your name here upon my lips,
I called it out loud, but you are far away,
cupped my mouth with my fingertips.
I am sure you heard me in your head,
stopped what your doing, looked my way,
so called, I love you, the words I said.
bkewl.
Another year.
Full moon bright,
in darkest night,
stars hidden by her veil.
So lost in time,
sweeps benign,
her aspect always pale.
Her face smiles,
she so beguiles,
I see her nightly trail.
Soon the dawn,
begins the morn,
so another day begun.
Morning mist,
land now kissed,
is melting in the sun.
A year has past,
they trip so fast,
but best is yet to come.
bkewl.
Make it so
I wander and roam, seem never to have a place, a home, where I should go,
having lived in many house, but never stayed long enough to make it so.
Loves in my life have passed me by, when my attention failed to keep hold,
I have missed many things, my past, like my future has been bought and sold.
Seek and you shall find they say, but when is it time to stop in my track,
when will I know I am at my end, when is it time to be turning back.
They view is different from where I stand, at high place no one should go,
shall I turn, head back down the path or take a leap of faith and make it so.
Still am I, a rare thing for me not moving just swaying as in the breeze,
on the cusp of all things, so the chaos theory brings me to my knees.
Then I feel your hand, warm placed in my cold palm, there it takes a hold,
I know I am safe here, my life's begun, so my story can now be fully told.
bkewl.
Misty Morning
See a mist in the valley and the sun through the trees,
see the mist of morning, swirl upon the steely breeze.
Feel a warmth of this a new day, as if to pass on by,
it’s that feeling of nature, that makes you want to cry.
bkewl.
Champagne smile
A champagne smile is what you have,
like an unopened bottle, quite and still,
but at that point of sheer exhilaration,
you will pop your cork, contents to spill.
Your lips when pouting makes me sad,
but when the smile, they then devastate,
turn my easy humour, into pure ardour,
and for that moment, it is hard to wait.
Then just as my flame is kindled well,
so that my senses are burning bright,
that's when you blow a teasing kiss,
so bid me then, your fond good night.
bkewl.
Stand by me
You don’t understand my actions, or understand my reasons why,
I cannot hold with your reactions, they only serve to make me cry.
I don't want to see my feelings analysed, for my only need is to be,
take me as I am, don’t stand aside, be a friend and stand by me.
bkewl.
The Unicorn
The noise like distant thunder, is the only sound,
of its unshod hooves, as they cover open ground.
Mane of liquid fire, head down running in the night,
its golden spiral horn, glistens in veiled moonlight.
Upon its back a maiden, gripping with her thighs,
her face wreathed in smiles, as onward she flys.
Princess of the Unicorn, naked on its back to ride,
at one with its motion, her beauty you cannot hide.
Across the open plains, until they rest at first light,
a land of Algolagnia, her domain to reign each night.
So if on the moors, you hear a distant thunder roll,
look for the Unicorn and the pleasures of the soul.
bkewl.
S y n d r o m e.
About the town, we see it all,
that the hard rain, is going to fall
so to land upon the innocents below,
as death will fall, like flakes of snow
you cannot hide, beneath its shroud
be aware of that mushroom cloud,
take heed, take fright
that flash of light.
People walk
girls do talk
children run
to have fun
boys stand
it’s planned.
People meet
girls sweet
children jeer
boys cheer
boys shout
what about.
People stop
girls to stop
children wait
boys to state
it’s happening.
People aggressive
girls suppressive
children surprised
and boys realised
what's happening in their world.

Dawn
The sky was dark just then, but now a glimmer do I see,
that tiny point of light, that will set the night time free.
Let it scuttle to its bed, let the day bring forth its light,
to see another lovely dawn, is to see the end of the night.
bkewl.
Winters night
The lighthouse beam silently sweeps the beach,
then I see you there, close, but still out of reach.
Another sweep and you are gone from my sight,
suddenly swept off, into a this dark winters night,
I see your silhouette amongst a crowd, or a face,
but when I look again, its just a clear open space.
Then your shadow, it falls in my empty room, I trip,
I feel your fingers in my empty hand, but no grip.
I await the dawn, with intrepidation in my heart,
we are now almost together, but always apart.
I feel your spirit holds me, like an angels wings,
I’m caressed by your dreams and my heart sings.
Eyes awake, wet and I weep alone at first light,
as I feel so much closer to you, during the night.
The lighthouse washes the shoreline, in a sweep,
caress the sand as I caressed you, again I weep.
bkewl.
Near me
My eyes are open,
but I cannot see,
I know your there,
in front of me.
I just reach out to
touch your face.
but my hands in
an empty space.
Touch me tell me
that your near,
it’s your absence
that I really fear.
Please speak to me
in words so clear,
tell me that you’ll
always be near.
bkewl.
Beaches
I walked along the beach today, my feet washed by the tide,
the morning sun was bright, but a cold wind its heat did hide.
I know I should be somewhere else, but I had to see the sea,
now back home with shells and rocks, my life, so much debris.
bkewl.
‘Shh’ Don’t speak.
You don’t have to talk,
I don’t have to listen,
but looking at your cheek,
I see a teardrop glisten.
You try to turn away,
for I don’t understand,
I try to help you now,
reaching for your hand.
You know we’re not alone,
that doesn’t matter now,
I’ve got to stand away,
but I really don’t know how.
Lets pray for intervention,
something to break the light,
or we will still be here,
when day turns into night.
Or would that be all right.
bkewl.
All at Sea
Is life uncharted waters,
there do we drift or sail away.
Where there is no rhyme or reason,
starry nights then each new day.
Do the currents push us one way,
where hearts don't want to go.
Are the clouds merely observers,
do they tell all that they know.
While there is love in my heart,
there is hope in my dreams.
Everything is broken here,
nothing quite what it seems.
So reaching for a full new sail,
with rudder to steer my heart.
I try to choose direction,
we are to long and far apart.
So wish me luck my fellows,
I call to the gulls circling above.
Send my words upon your wings,
I am bound for the one I love.
Though my journey may be long,
the route a path yet unknown.
I shall persevere to find her,
so I can make my love my own.
bkewl.
Don’t Cry
I see your pretty face, but I see the tears in your eyes,
I’ve never seen you cry before, this is such a surprise.
Did my touch upset you, though filled with tenderness,
did I do something wrong, do you not want my caress.
Why do you look at me, am I asking the wrong question,
is my interpretation wrong, can I make a one suggestion.
You could stop crying now and cease all this commotion,
I realise their not tears of pain, but are tears of emotion.
They’re just your expression of a love you hold for me,
I share that love deep inside, so then lovers we can be.
I have loved you from the first day, each day a little more,
so dry those lovely eyes, kiss me, and don’t cry anymore.
bkewl.
Coffee shop
Its chatter, chatter
a noise all around
chairs cups clatter
ear piercing sound.
Some they shout
some don't stop
waitress breezy
her shoes clip clop.
Then the whisper
they're over there
someone famous
just as if we care.
Finally tea iss here
the English cup
cant wait to drink
it's to hot to sup.
Something nice
arrives no behest
strawberry prize
not my request.
More tea I call
oh what a to-do
if I drink it all
I'll need the loo.
Getting the bill
an uphill task
stood at the till
you have to ask.
bkewl.
Lost dreams
Love is like all those lost dreams,
when awake not all is as it seems.
Something is always out of sight,
to reappear in the darkest night.
To find the one that you love true,
is to hold that lost dream with you.
During the waking hours of day,
the dream remains, here to stay.
My loves dream is with me now,
though apart, together somehow.
Time will out, we will be as one,
our dream is here, yet not begun.
bkewl.
Hate
I feel that hate inside you
and how you like my pain,
I now know just what to do,
you'll never hurt me again.
My mind will deny you exist,
I wipe you from my memory,
your overtures I can resist,
so then you will truly see.
Your image I'll not recognise,
I will erase it from me now,
blind to you within my eyes,
no reflection or even shadow.
Satan's man, you have no soul,
beneath contempt are thee,
I sign the cross as I am whole,
your behind me now, I'm free.
bkewl.
~ The Voice ~
The night time falls
There's a chill in the air
The full moon is so bright
Yet a mist surrounds everywhere
Slowly I am walking
The long and winding path
Terror sounding all of me
But somehow I don't really care
For I have been summoned
By a voice in the night
I don't know where I'm going
But I know this is right.
I reach a dark castle
It's looks dark, empty and cold
I place my hand on the door
Will I ever leave from here?
The voice is so strong now
Enter? That I must
What lies behind this door?
That my soul has come to trust.
The door now opens
The room invites me in
A stranger awaits me
He speaks, that voice?
It's him that's beckoned me
It's his voiced that I have heard
But what does he want with me?
I have not a thing to share.
He has a surprise
What could it be?
He wants eternity with me
Oh how can this be?
With the gaze of his eyes
My soul is transfixed
He can give me eternity
With one magical kiss
Take me I'm yours
My life to you I give
I only ask you love me
And together we shall remain.
His arms now embrace me
Gazing deep in his eyes
He gives me one last kiss
Then drains the blood from my soul
Now we are one
Two of the same
An eternity of the night
Together we will always remain.

The Rose
A Bud of deepest black
Small and hidden away
Not dancing for the sunlight
Her brightest day was grey
But the bud caught a prying eye
He saw the beauty within
He knew with love and tender care
There was a beautiful rose within
Slowly would she blossom,
He would numbed all her fears,
Unfolding her petals one by one
His prize possesion she was to become
He showered her with love
He called her his babes
No more she was a small black bud
A beautiful black rose she became
People had seen his magic touch
Now they were intregued
Always pulling him from his rose
In the end they were to succeed
The black rose they had posioned
They withered her down in time,
The petals slowly dropped all over,
The black rose lay on the ground
But the roots they had stayed firm
And the small black bud arose
Again she hides from prying eyes
She don't want to blossom again

Writing
It only takes a small distraction,
then I am lost in place and time,
then almost without my inaction,
I drift in a world of my own rhyme.
Leaking like some broken pipe,
my words splash upon the page,
sometimes good sometimes tripe,
a cross between a fool and sage.
Perhaps my concentrations lacking,
to often I see my attentions caught,
even now my minds back tracking,
lost within a new fresh thought.
Can I just concentrate my mind,
finish of what is now here before,
looking now my eyes see blind,
other visions bring fresh allure.
Life is an ever changing cycle,
people and places pass me by,
always to witness a fresh debacle,
births and deaths both make me cry.
Words are all I have to cling to,
ever present within my head,
like a friend they are always true,
always constant but rarely read.
Let them now be my witness,
to yet another day passing time,
all has changed but my interest,
so life passes me by like my rhyme.

Time to leave ------- Dedicated to Durenda Kay Gorham
The sun will set for me one day and I shall no longer see,
a day shall dawn, when I am gone, who will remember me.
Springs and summers will all pass, winter, autumns too,
let them pass before me now, I may not see them through.
Please don't be sad for me, though tears will surely come,
think of me smiling, happy, who never left things undone.
Life may not have been so kind, more things left to do,
think me outside a door, that I have just passed through.
Let every day be my smile, each moon my sleeping face,
let all stars reflect my dreams, for this lovely human race.
Remember me each passing day, but your life must go on,
let my departure be with love, like the ending of a song.
Let me be that tune that stays, humming in your mind,
a warm thing, a lovely thing, who has left you all behind.
I shall then live on forever, within memories you recall,
in your voices I speak and through your eyes I see you all.

Anarchist
Coffee shop, Harvey Nicks, Leeds, Saturday morning, my eyes are like a camera trying to catch the people around me.
A lady nearby peruses the menu, her hand dips into the open neck of her shirt, playing with a pendant yet unseen.
The chain is long, it dips lower and lower, such a long chain, it could affect a mans appetites, let it swing free.
My coffee is forgotten and cold, I am lost in my imagination, my mind it is hanging where only a chain has been.
Her order taken, she sits talking to her companion, I am not there, her hand still dips, my mind still trips over.
I see another unsettled night ahead, I am under control during the day but I just sleep like an anarchist.
Thrashing about until the bedding is fully disarranged, only then to sleep I just lay there without a cover.
I could never work in a shoe shop, to much leaning and gleaning, such views could shorten a mans interest.

Love ?
I’ve been thinking about love,
and I have made a decision.
I’ve looked deep into my heart,
and I have found no provision.
For one who treats me with such verbal derision,
whose tenderness to me is like a sexual collision.
When your there, you don’t care,
then if I’m away, you start to play,
I can see you have feelings for me.
We’re no good for each other,
we would be better off apart.
Togetherness has surely ended,
did it even get chance to start.
There is just no communication,
it’s like an empty sailing chart.
Where to go we’ve no direction,
so lets tear ourselves apart.
When your there, I’m so very aware,
not so blind, to what's on your mind,
your not for me, just waiting to be free.
I know someday, I’ll return to find you gone,
and I know deep inside, my life will carry on.
You’re not mine anymore, if you ever were you at all.
bkewl.
Washed Down
It has been some time since life had felt this good,
I thought all was lost and that I now understood.
So don’t let the sun be washed down by the rain,
lose itself in tears, or swept down an open drain.
Tell me when you look in a mirror what do you see,
do you see a sweet smiling face looking now at me.
Or is ther a differant reflection there I do not get,
filled with tears of joy, thoughts of times better yet.
bkewl.
Summer
Don’t give me your pity,
I don’t want your sympathy.
I don’t need your advice,
it’s just not good for me.
All I need is your love,
to keep me going on.
All I need is your love,
to help my day along.
But you’ve made it very clear.
you don’t want my company.
Don’t give me your excuses,
I’ve heard them all before.
Don’t try to analyse me,
the writings on the wall.
If you can’t love me now,
then leave me alone.
All I want is to share a life,
I didn’t want to own.
Discussion now is wasting time,
I’ll just hang up the phone.
So summers nearly over,
winter will be bleak this year.
It lasted just a few months,
but it barely seems a year.
Since meeting in the park,
we merged so easily.
We just talked in the sun,
I carved initials in a tree.
So summers nearly over,
but you're no longer hear.
bkewl.
Promises & Lies
You gave me promises and lies,
neither was your true intention,
seeing tears in your sweet eyes,
or are they just your invention.
Is there any truth in your words,
or is it just intended to surprise,
can reality be so very absurd,
I so need your promises and lies.
bkewl.
Life is just a dance of death!!!
Life has no beginning,
there is no happy ending,
it is all just a musical,
we are singing or dancing.
The words of the songs,
is all that we can believe,
the dance is just that,
a dance of death we weave.
When your music stops,
you lay there were you fall,
trampled underfoot,
as if you're never there at all.
The others still dance,
so keep singing on and on,
no one saw you fall,
even noticed you were gone.
bkewl.
It has to be
Have you gone and left me, my life is so alone,
I want you close to me, there when I get home.
No tears for me to wipe, just kisses on my lips,
something to cling on to, love at my fingertips.
I cant live without knowing, you love me and care,
my life was filled with sadness, without you there.
You are my sun, breaking through stormy clouds,
made me think things, I thought was not allowed.
Dreams of a happiness, that nearly made me cry,
without you being there, I feel I could almost die.
So until the day comes, you are there close to me,
then my love I struggle on, that's how it has to be.

The dreamer
The dreamer walks without legs and sees without his eyes,
his mind it wanders where no man should go and never pries.
He takes his experience bird like, always moving, never still,
storing all of it inside his head and only recalling it at will.
He dreams the dreams of many dead, sometimes those alive,
he starts the dreams in our children, before they even arrive,
and still he dreams alone.

What would you do?
Well did young Romeo do it right, climbing up walls, into the night,
to find his love on a balcony, what would you do, to set love free.
Swim an ocean deep and blue, just to find out that a love is true,
walk naked on coals, oh so hot, to find out if its true love or not.
I would ask you none of this, you'll know my love from one true kiss,
a kiss that warms a loving heart, ensures that love will not depart.
bkewl.
Lost my memory
Walk the streets by the hundred, through every large town,
someone stop me, if you know me, oh write my name down,
I am aimless, like a clown.
Give me some sort of history, from which I can then start,
fill in my background, it’s hidden, but lies deep in my heart
and from which I won’t part.
So I'm out of place, out of my time, nothing seems to be mine.
I try putting these words down, to make my life try to rhyme,
all I have is plenty of time.
Look close, at me, don’t avoid my eyes, it’s recognition I need,
if your building up the right image, then someone may heed,
please then I might be freed.
bkewl.
Don’t go without me
Take me to another land
to a place I’ve never been.
I’ll travel as your luggage,
through land so far unseen.
Treat me as your servant,
I’ll slave for you each day.
I would never answer back,
or from your side would stray.
Silent as the dead I’d be,
creep around on my tiptoe.
I would not breath until you said,
or step upon your shadow.
Please don’t go without me,
oh I’ll really pout if you do.
Don’t you see I am begging,
will you miss me, I’ll miss you....
bkewl.
Sunset
I sit and watch the sunset, it’s ember rays dying in the west,
painting the clouds, I'm watching the dust motes come to rest.
It’s at moments just like these I feel at peace and in rhyme,
every thing in its place and so each clock is at it’s right time.
Then emotions start to boil over then a tear I’m holding back,
so my life is not quite level, is there a something that I lack.
There is a deeper yearning, I can hear it echoing in my soul,
until I find my direction, then my life will never be quite whole.

Angel
Face of an Angel
voice like a dream
laugh like a rainbow
who’s end is never seen.
Moves like a whisper
stops like sunlight
never quite in reach
but never out of sight.
Can I catch a moonbeam
tie it to a star
climb up a sunbeam
because that’s were you are.
Angel...........................

Take me
Take me to your leader,
take me to your home,
take me to any place,
where we can be alone.
Take me to your heart,
the place I want to be,
take me anyway you want,
take me, take me, take me.

Bad Day, Bad Week, Bad Feelings.
My days are filled with ignorance,
desires that remain so undone.
I feel I have no longer influence,
of the direction in which to run.
However hard I work, I’m unfulfilled,
my words fall, it’s like raining stones.
Just wasting my breath, now so stilled,
I should just stick to designing homes.
No one wants my tender moments now,
my words of comfort, or words of desire.
Oh am I shouting at the deaf somehow,
perhaps my words should go into the fire.
My solitude and somnolence erodes me,
so surrounded by unsympathetic ears.
Tell me what is now to become of me,
I feel that it all may soon end in tears.
bkewl.
Blinded by the sun
I was blinded by the sun the first time that we met,
you a just a slender body, that I see in silhouette.
You want to linger though you seem out of reach,
me I’m just another body, sat here on the beach.
You stay to chat a while, the while then lingers on,
when we look about us, everyone has now gone.
We continue with our talking as the stars appear,
we speak more freely, there is no one here to hear.
Finally we decide to leave, this sand and the sea,
then you take my hand, it seems quite naturally.
So we walk off together and together we remain,
tides may come and go, days and nights the same.
A chance meeting placed us in each others path,
was chance or was it fate, of this we often laugh.
Held like two soul mates so lost before somehow,
once blinded by the sun, its love that blinds me now.

Summer
Swaying grass in fields abound,
nowhere seen, the open ground.
See poppies in all their glory sway,
truly this must be a summers day.
The canopies of tall green trees,
also move in such a gentle breeze.
Skies are clear, so blue and bright,
so far away is the star filled night.
Summer for me is a childhood past,
days then that would forever last.
Now too short they’re fleet and fly,
we just let them slip so pass us by.
I must hold summer, in my heart,
like my true love, never be apart.
bkewl.
Wet
Walking in the rain
and I’m wet again
hats pulled down
to hide my frown
the glasses steam
to a misty dream
of a sunny day
oh so far away
from driving rain
I’m so wet again
bkewl.
Leaving in the rain
You thought I was sleeping,
but my ears were awake.
I heard you make your call,
and I new it, my mistake,
that I always seem to make.
I thought it was forever,
not only for the one night.
I heard the door close softly,
saw the car pull out of sight,
I watched it pull into the night.
I stood at the window watching,
raindrops on the window pane.
I new at that moment, we would
never ever to meet again,
you were leaving in the rain.
We met so easily, we seemed
to suit each other very well.
You said that we were perfect
partners, anyone could tell,
for your lines, like a fool I fell.
Oh I listened so very gladly, for
it was all I wanted then to hear.
When it seemed the time was right,
so then I’d tried to hold you near,
kept firm, so to keep you here.
I stand at the window watching,
raindrops on the window pane.
Thinking of those few moments,
I will never see them back again,
and of you leaving in the rain.
Should I ever see you walking,
on the arm of another man.
I would have to turn, walk away,
just leave as soon as I can,
back to where it began.
Or I might tell him the truth,
behind your devious ways,
I’d tell him of a blissful night,
that’s followed by empty days,
that this one never stays.
How I stand at windows watching,
raindrops on the window pane.
Trying to hold onto those moments,
am my dreaming my life in vain,
of you ever returning with the rain.

You
Misty shadows of the early dawn,
you see me shiver see me yawn.
Early rising from my warm bed,
always gives me a sleepy head.
Starting out in a misty gloom,
like walking in a half lit room.
Sun is rising to lift off the grey,
a glowing orb that brings the day.
Sunlight now is breaking through,
then my thoughts they turn to you.

What are dreams
What is a dream,
a wish for life lost,
thoughts suppressed,
but at what cost.
Would you change,
a life that’s secure,
for a slippery dream,
of which your unsure.
Maybe that dream,
is a cry from the heart,
when will it begin,
just how will it start.
I’d take your mind,
where its never been,
I’ll you show the sights,
those eyes never seen.
Would you trust me,
not to leave you cold,
step into the darkness,
just my hand to hold.
I’ll be your tomorrow,
if you’ll be my today,
you will be mine always
by your side I would stay.
Then we could travel,
this green sceptred isle,
I’d make your heart sing,
so you’ll always smile.

Inhibitions
Were you always so very careful,
or your mind someone made to teach,
no skinny dipping under the stars,
dried by driftwood fires on the beach.
On your balcony in a bathrobe,
wrapped around your body tight,
never letting go to those urges,
sleep with the light on every night.
Go dancing naked in the moonlight,
the grass wet beneath your toes,
and make love under the open sky,
let your lovers arms be your clothes.
Find the freedom of your dreams,
your mind and body set them free,
shed those inhibitions soon my love,
for then I will surely come to thee.

Kisses
Someone else's kisses are resting on my lips,
the memory of her body is within my fingertips.
I must walk away, for its time to go home,
though I'll have company there, I'm always alone.
I want to see you, now and everyday,
stay with you and never go away.
don't want to leave you all alone,
though it's time for me to go home.
My life is empty now, when were apart,
can't you feel my truth within your heart.
I need you whispering in my ears,
I need your hand to wipe away my tears.
There must be some easy way out of all this,
but to me there's no answer, just another kiss.
I want to touch you every day
and be near you come what may.
I see the sunshine in your smiling eyes,
I warm myself only on the warmth it supplies.
Don't leave me or make me go away
and by your side I will forever stay.

The walled city
One night you crept into my sleep,
at first just weeping to one side.
Then in my dreams you did creep,
your loneliness you could not hide.
You begged for me to come to you,
all my sleeping thoughts now your own.
To escape, what else was there to do,
so I started out into a land unknown.
It took days to reach the walled city,
I camped beneath its walls that night.
Dreams filled with your words of pity,
awoke me to greet the morning light.
Looking up the at ramparts so endless,
the gates were sealed, the city alone.
No one can enter the this holy of holies,
how could I breach these walls of stone.
I looked up, then your face I could find,
mouth moving, my ears could not hear.
Then the words appeared in my mind,
'take faith in my love and do not fear'.
If I’d had wings I would fly like a dove,
I would then attain your loving heart.
Until then I will wait for you my love,
beneath your walls, I will not depart.
These gates cannot be closed forever,
at last we'll meet and be lovers at last.
Until then we will have dream together,
our time will out and our future is vast.

Back when (inspired by two other poets)
When I was only five years old, the world was three feet high,
I rode my bike across the hills just to try and reach the sky.
They say you can never go back, to re-find your childhood way,
that was then and this a now, the two worlds can't overlay.
But I go to visit, walking valleys, I ran with other boys and dogs
stepped over streams I used to jump and try to damn with logs.
I find the tree that I once climbed, with treasures there to hide,
in hollow shapes beneath the boughs, the secret place reside.
The tree seems smaller now, or taller am I to reach up so high,
I feel inside the hidden hollows for a hidden treasures to deny.
Low I have found a treasure hidden there, pulling out a rusty tin,
so resting its lid from its base, I find an old folded note within.
Though faded grey, the paper thin, the ink is still bright blue,
in my own bad handwriting just three words 'I remember you'.

Falling falling
I’m falling falling
there's no contact.
I hear you calling
but I can't react.
My mind is reeling
in empty space.
I sense no feeling
just see your face.
Oh help me, hold me
and drag me near.
Help set me free
this irrational fear.
I feel I am dying
with my mind intact.
Don't stop trying
I'll make contact.
Listen out forever
deep down inside.
I'll never be very
far from your side.
I will be your Gaurdian Angel.

The Beach
She steps out so delicately, along the shore,
her footprints there, want to tell me more,
where she is going, where she has been,
who did she speak to, what has she seen.
Sun kissed shoulders, beyond the hat brim,
the silk of her dress, softly caresses her skin,
she knows I am watching, eyes drawn there,
from pale foot soles, to her escaping hat hair.
Enthralled by her movements, almost feline,
nothing angular, her body so supple, supine,
then my vision is lost, as she steps out of site,
my sunshine has gone, it will be forever night.
But wait, she returns, towards me approached,
I stumble for words, as they catch in my throat,
then a smile, recognition, have we met before,
a face not forgotten, but grown up some more.
A childhood sweetheart, but now a woman I see,
smiling, talking, of memories, how we used to be,
then time to depart, leans, a kiss there to place,
then see the true beauty, hidden deep in her face.
bkewl.
Stranger
I will cry my tears for you,
if this will ease your sorrow.
Let me share your hurting
and look towards tomorrow.
Let my words make you smile,
they might even make to weep.
But if they brighten up your day
or bring comfort as you sleep.
Then its worth a little risk,
to improve your state of mind.
I’m to far away to hurt you
and you know that love is blind.
You’r living in an ivory tower,
that my body cannot breach.
You could ignore my scribbles
and remain quite out of reach.
You can call out all the shots,
on your terms, or not at all.
I will try to catch your tears,
if you decide to let them fall.
We can never be as one,
we both have lives of our own.
Let this stranger be a friend,
then at least your not alone.

Mouse
Time on, so she finally falls asleep,
probably with mouse still in her hand.
In her dreams my words might creep,
but she just doesn’t yet understand.
That her mouse is wired to her PC,
and our PC’s are now tied together.
So in a vague way, she’s holding me,
we could be holding hands forever.
bkewl.
No more good-byes
I wish there were no more good-byes,
no more departures, no more sad eyes.
But my time is just not mine to spare,
so it’s nice to think that you might care.
My words might echo inside your head,
not set aside on a shelf to be unread.
Think of me as I work through the night,
trying to put some wrong things right.
A fruitless task, but it still has to be done,
no more quick chats, no more verbal fun.
In a short while I may be a bit more free,
whether by then you'll still remember me.

Far to go till Friday...
At such a very early age you quest a life just begun,
to dream a dream of days to be, of years yet to come.
To breath in the ones future air, as it is yet unfound,
to seek life's meaning both above and below ground.
To yearn for future fears and tribulations as yet unsaid
and to always seek consolation, within ones own head.
Don’t mistake your life for dreams, life is more exciting,
I cannot describe the future within the words I’m writing.
Your future is an adventure, only it will take a lifetime,
your dreams are soon over and lost within a night time.
Grasp your future and make it your own task, for me,
let life be a wild wind, filled only with your own destiny.

Waiting Time.
Time to sit, just time to stop, I’m in another coffee shop.
People all around the loop, some alone, others a group.
The ones alone, some are sad, others, their timings bad.
Coffee cold, eye on door, didn’t notice coat, slipped to floor.
Sudden flurries, a friend arrive, no not waited, eyes all alive.
Now time for me to slip away, a parking meter limits my day.
bkewl.
Going
I will move on,
I may have gone,
from your lives,
I have not gone from you and your life.
You’ll see more of me,
just wait and see,
when the time arrives,
I'll return into your lives and into your life.
I will not be far away,
to call any day,
and visit well known dives,
and reminisce about my life my loves my work.
bkewl.
Sleeping
I think when you're asleep, you'd look like a child,
you at rest, but in your dreams the mind it's wild.
Who wipes your tears, when in dreams you weep,
when those black thoughts, start on you to creep.
Who caresses your brow, so to whisper them away,
does someone hold you tight, till the break of day.
If I could be that person, I'd lay roses at your feet,
to be your protector, would make my life complete.

What's in a name
Am I the fool you fell for, where you the fool to fall,
were we both fools together, or not foolish after all.
When I first met your eyes, my legs began to melt,
and much to my surprise, you new exactly how I felt.
Symptoms were much the same, as later we discussed,
I didn't even know your name, but in our hearts we trust.
Will we now be fools forever, lost in each other charms,
always held close together, by more than loving arms.

Weatherman
The sky's are grey and overcast,
weather man say’s it won't last,
forever.
Just like I said about you and me,
I said that I would set you free,
whenever.
Weathermen sometimes get it wrong,
I thought we would not last this long,
however.
The sun breaks through, a hazy day,
but things are dull while your away,
wherever.
I hope you come back to talk real soon,
just don't think I could stand this gloom,
forever.

It's been a long time
It's been a long time, since we were together,
since we drifted apart,
but it seems like forever,
since you broke my heart.
But now your back, you say that your so sorry,
you want to be my friend,
you say I’m not to worry,
saying my heart will mend.
Why did you go, was someone else there,
because he say he loved you,
when now you say you care,
so did you say that to him to.
I know your a liar and say what you need to,
the truth is so plain to see,
I can see right through you,
oh so don’t try to lie to me.
I loved you so deeply, you left me all the same,
there was no love from you,
you think it's one big game,
I don’t know what can I do.
I hold you close, so close, I'd forgive you anything,
so close, my heart starts to pound,
so close, you make my life sing,
so close, my feet lift off the ground.
It's been a long time, since we were both together,
since when you went away
and so it seems like forever,
but you say this time you'll stay.

Eloped
He gently touched her cheek,
his fingers trembled slightly.
On his shoulder she's asleep,
so he does it oh so lightly.
He stretches very slowly,
he's trying not to wake her,
but the movement clips her dream
so slowly she will now stir.
Elopers on this, a bus ride,
down into the that so big city,
I hope it all works out,
to finish in tears, would be a pity.

Angels
Are you the angel on my shoulder, the angel at my knee,
are you the one voice, who tells me that my mind is free.
Do whisper in my ear, all those secrets that I cannot say,

One day I may catch you, gently by your wings so bright,
then you will tell me your secrets, until the morning light.

Time passes
(inspired by something past, written, read, heard or said by or to me)
Cats lay down and sleeping,
full moon sees me weeping.
Don't even care if the sun don't shine,
even the clouds won’t know the right time,when you'll be mine
you will be mine at the right time.
I look out on sea and skies,
sit and watch the sun rise.
Waves caress the empty beach,
stop, listen, then turn and run, they know your gone far from reach,
all they hear are gulls that screech.
Footprints no more to see,
why has death robbed me.
My mind is like a cobweb frieze,
my tears glisten there like dewdrops, they twinkle in the breeze,
times wind erodes my memory.
If I could see you once more,
sweetly stroll upon the shore.
Let the sea be once more your friend,
fill your footprints, hear your laugh, so chase running, it to send,
with me to where time is without end.
People pass me by, unseen,
I am lost, a place in between.
We will be together, no mistake,
but too cheat time, make it sooner, would be to big a risk to take,
but we will sing and dance at my wake.

Fleeting
A passing car called out a greeting,
I saw a face if only fleeting,
could it be you,
let it be you.
Sudden tears sting me I am blind,
through this veil I try to find,
the number plate,
but it won’t wait.
Now I find that I’m out of control,
I’ve fallen into a lovesick hole,
without you near,
I need you here.

Who do you love
Well it's not the ones that you miss,
not even the ones that you will kiss.
It’s not the ones that you talk to,
or even ones that will talk to you.
It’s not the ones who want to chat,
nor the ones that your smiling at.
Not even ones that share a night,
or make promises by candle light.
It's only the one that's true to you,
someone you want to wake up too.

Rainbow
Let me be your rainbow, of colours in every hue,
let me shine on your cheek, enjoy the lovely view.
Touch your dreams with its light, soften every day,
collect these sad feelings to them push far away.
If I could be your rainbow, a story would unfold,
I would be so close, you would be a crock of gold.
Never miss a rainbow, as it cuts those rainy skies,
let it look upon you and reflect in those soft eyes.
Remember rainbows are an emblem for all good,
placed upon the earth to protect us all from flood.
Like a gaurdian angel, let this rainbow touch you,
you will know the best course, the right thing to do.

On the beach
A couple walking along the beach,
their hands are never out of reach,
as lovers always so alone,
within crowds they roam.
Their world is all summer bright,
each day followed by star filled night,
they're always at home,
they are never alone.
Kicking sand for a moment parted,
instant hands back where they started,
they continue on to roam,
waves crashing to foam.
Odd words and looks are all they convey,
passing between them what words can't say,
a world all of their own,
lovers are never alone.

Stolen moments
The day was so hot, the sky was bright,
she dropped the blinds, to cut the light.
A perfume spot, placed upon each breast,
so naked she lay, upon her bed to rest.
Though it was still early, not even noon,
I said I would be there, that afternoon.
I'm always late, clock said, just gone four,
so we lay like spoons, in a cutlery drawer.
I lay behind, enfolding her, as like a womb,
feeling safe, glowing, I smell her perfume.
Whispered, I love you's and replies I know,
I'm kissing her neck, my feelings to show.
I think she is crying, is that a sob I hear,
but saying nothing, I just pull her near.
Slowly I make love to her, a steady gait,
time is against us, as always we're late.
I must leave soon, I can't stay the night,
I’d love to hold her, till the morning light.
So rare to be together, more often apart,
we both hold a place, in each others heart.

Footprints in the sand
I walked out today, out along the deserted beach,
resting in my solitude, knowing I was out of reach.
My loneliness was about me, a feeling I could taste,
was my life so meaningless, my existence a waste.
Did I miss an opportunity, did I take the wrong turn,
no friends about me and know ones respect to earn.
Finally I reach the spot, a place I feel that is my own,
a place I can be myself, just to sit here and cry alone.
Today my heart is heavy, the sea birds calling to me,
their calls chirrup like laughter, can't they let me be.
Bare feet push into sand, beside a rock on which I sit,
take pebble to throw out to sea, but stop, I look at it.
This is not a stone, I had rarely seen the like before,
the amber, almost clear, I look deep inside it's core.
There a tropical fly, trapped within this presentment,
then I sense a similarity with my own predicament.
My temporary distraction just lays there in my hand,
only then I see the footprints, so clearly in the sand.
Someone else has visited here, this my special place,
a violation of my sanctuary, is this my fall from grace.
Then I realise, the footprints just walk out into the sea,
is this then my way out, the only true way to be free.

Aura
So in your darkest hour,
there is always a light.
Inward you have a glow,
to light the darkest night.
Your aura is so apparent,

Don’t hide your life force,
let it take its rightful place.
Let it enhance your image,
let it light your lovely face.

Reading .........(lost in the pages of a book)
Sitting in an armchair leafing through the pages of a book,
the images appear in my mind, where no one can ever look.
Lost in every word, as if a woven tapestry stitched so fine,
each chapter leads me deeper, between each written line.
Finally I finish, it's world draws to an end with that last word,
the universe could have ended and this may sound absurd.
I am oblivious to my surroundings, do deep engrossed am I,
that I wouldn't even notice it, the loss would just pass me by.
Back to reality with its greyness so depressing at its finish,
it's a haunting memory it lingers, before starting to diminish.
I turn my face the world, that on my attention is so pressing,
to find it so empty, my god I forgot life can be so depressing.
Tomorrow the sun may shine, then life might not look so bad,
but perhaps the best times, are the times I have already had.

Wednesdays Child
My life is just like a mirror, reflecting what's going on around.
When alone my face is empty, broken by the voiceless sound.
I always try to keep in company, or solemn silence will prevail.
Try to keep my flagging spirits, from curling up and going stale.
Maybe because I’m a wednesday’s child, that I’m filled with woe.
Oh I wish to be a thursday’s child, then I could have so far to go.

Lullaby
I'll sing you a lullaby, but my voice was made for blues,

but I cannot be any nearer, than words upon your screen,
I am like an unfound friend, but with an ocean in between.

Pearls
So is your life so filled with oysters,
do you sometimes get pearls there.
Do you keep them for rainy days,
or do these pearls you also share.
Oh I would share my pearls with you,
though they’re few and far between.
My life's an open book to one and all,
but it seems it's pages rarely seen.
So I share with you my life in words,
you'll find me hiding between each line.
Like the lost kingdoms of king arthur,
I offer my pearls, the're all that's mine.

This is me
Where is my future,
what direction do I take.
Have I lost all control,
will I make a bad mistake.
Is it fate that pushes,
ones life so far in front.
Will I catch the tigers tail,
or just enjoy the hunt.
I cease to worry anymore,
my life is not my own.
I’ll just ride the wild wind
and let my body groan.
Take each day as I find it,
make the most of what I see.
Laugh at my little problems,
so this is life and this is me.

Peaches
A blonde has a softer skin, so tender like a peach,
If I could only touch you, your so far out of reach.

we must be PC lovers, please don’t break my heart.

For You (inspired by Amos Oz's words)
Your sleeping body is like a city, so beautiful and pure,
where I want to wander and to try and find the door.
Your fingers are the streets, your palm a city square,
so I would let my kisses and caresses linger there.
Then up boulevards of your arms, up to shoulder hill,
where I place tender caress, but my lips are never still.
Then I find myself at the crossroads of your throat,
where am I next to turn, no directions there to note.
I let my lips graze your lips, closed eyelids and your nose,
then I spy, a long way off, ten pink and standing toes.
The landscape between, hills to hollows and valleys deep,
where caresses could linger long and happily fall a sleep.
Just as I start then to move your lips they whisper "No"
"You are not aloud to wander, a route you do not know"
So dear lovely lady, please do tell, where do I start,
please draw for me a map to the doorway of your heart.

Listen to the wind
Empty streets, look so bare,
feel the wind, tug at my hair.
The trees they sing a melody,
but no one listens, only me.
I hear sadness, in it's air song,
all I want to do is to sing along.
Sway in the motion, of the beat,
trees in the wind, on its retreat.
House dark, when late at night,
all look sad, in dawns grey light.
Meanwhile the wind whistles free,
no one listens, there is only me.
Now the sun is up, rising high,
it's chased away the starry sky.
The moon too, goes off to hide,
but this wind will always chide.
Even in summer, it breezes along,
the trees sing a whispering song.
Whispering that the wind is free,
but no one listens, well only me.

Words
I really like to make you smile, this I always try to do, but my words contain my life and all of them are true.
So some may make you sad or even make you blue, but words are only words with my feelings peeping through.
So if my words become a burdon, please tell me, tell me do, I shall slip in to the night so as not to trouble you.
I know I can be a pain, to pushy, through and through, so before I become a pest please tell me what to do.
That my words are not a problem, I'm not offending you, I can send you more, for I have more than just a few.

Visiting Old Haunts
I these wander the streets of an old familiar city,
chasing down memories and faces from the past,
everything’s changed, for the worse thats the pity
I am fascinated, but I know that this won’t last.
See a half forgotten face among a crowd of people,
but I know in reality, it’s no one I could know at all,
I look across the sky, from the clock, to the steeple,
but my memories like ghosts, make a teardrop fall.
see a place,
see a person,
see a building,
drab and cold.
Another time,
another version,
all so dirty,
and so old.

Call your name,

Stargazer
I am a star gazer, I stand here looking in the night,
looking into galaxies, bathing in their distant light.
Seeking my direction, from this the heavenly sky,
fleeting life, like a comet, flashed before my eye.
Movement in the heavens, looking to hard do I see,
was that a shooting star or was it just my destiny.
Can I trust my judgement, there’s water in my eyes,
standing weeping in the night, looking up into skies.
The moon is rising now, just to spoil my starry view,
only a half moon, but its reflected light burns through
A baleful face so sad and it’s looking down onto me,
like a soft veil, it draws across stars that I could see.
The precursor to the sun, yet to breach in the east,
I stand looking upward, at what is always out of reach.
Time for bed, now it’s morning, so back to front am I,
living my life in darkness, that sunlight hurts my eye.
In the great galaxies of life, are we really here at all,
living this topsy turvy life, in a world oh so very small.
We share the same seas, but no shore do we share,
would you change a thing, I wonder would you dare.

Alone
I set out most days, the ground it is misty,
I turn to speak, but there’s no lips to kiss me.
She used to stand there, waiting to greet me,
but when I return, there’s no one to meet me.
No one seems to notice, a man on his own,
I sit alone in a house, that used to be home.
My world it is shattered, my life is all undone,
my feelings are empty, now that I’m all alone.

Time immortal
Time immortal, days gone past, the world revolves ever on.
Life is so short, but true loves last, even after life has gone.
If mankind could just endure, the pain of life's own reward.
To see a love that's so pure, to hurt is pain to be endured.
Hold fast that thing easily lost, it keeps the hearts desire.
Release the rest, but at a cost, if one loses that loving fire.
To pursue then your dreams, to find ones own soul mate.
Life is not simple as it seems, but life's long enough to wait.

Stranger
I will cry my tears for you,
if this will ease your sorrow.
Let me share your hurting

Let my words make you smile,

But if they brighten up your day
or bring comfort as you sleep.
Then its worth a little risk,
to improve your state of mind.
I’m to far away to hurt you

You’re living in an ivory tower,

You could ignore my scribbles

You can call out all the shots,

Death
Fear is a word that I thought I’d forgotten,
also death is a word I rarely seem to say.
Peace is a thought that comes to me often,
but nothing keeps the tears from falling away.
See how long does a baby keep crying,
a mere distraction can bring them around.
But life it can change while your just not looking,
it takes a shock to put your feet back on the ground.

Where time stands still
Do you have a special place, where you feel at peace,
a place where your emotions allow that great release.
My place is on a beach, looking across the rocks to sea,
this is where my mind goes to, when it’s off drifting free.
The place were the sea meets sky, an undefined thin line,
where nothing is substantial, a lost horizon without time.
Where time stands still and clouds scud to rest at night,
the sun to bath, before coming fresh with morning light.
Full moon turns it to a silver space, that reflects no light,
but creates a mercury foam, like diamonds in the night.
Where time is standing still, oh to be in that lost space,
to witness a changing world, without being in the race.
We all have lost horizons, things that might have been,
things we regret and sights we wish we had not seen.
Moving ever forward, dreaming dreams that may not be,
so mine slips away again and is there looking out to sea.

A Moment in time (11th September 2001)
A moment in time, when all stood still, by mans corrupted will.
A moment in time, so many too die, stood to shocked to cry.
A moment in time, no one will forget, how two ideologies met.
A moment in time, all life was unreal and so freedom met evil.
A moment in time, that will never be lost, but at such a cost.
A moment in time, sights so obscene, should never have been.
In truth of those killed, I did not know any,
but a single life lost, is one life too many.
bkewl.
