Weight watching


weight watchers beware theres a giant on the stair
every pound is loaded in the footsteps
of the great hulking beast
chewing the cud of a mars bar feast.

They said the scales never lie
mine just rocket by
past the eighteenth stone
where's my girlish figure gone

So its celery for tea
And a rabbits diet for me
Until the stones turn into pounds
And my thighs dont make those sounds

Silence

Silence


The earth stands still
sound looses all meaning
and the drum beats no more
trees fall in the forrest
bee haunted free to rest
the bones of the sky fall
and you my friend drink coke
Eat Macs and wear Primark
Until the Earth stands still

Easter

sunlight draws fingers over the green
painting rainbows in puddles
kissing the dewy grass
Easter chick and bunnies jump
on cards and chocolate wishes
hot cross spices to be toasted
dripping in dairy goodness
And a new born babe
smiles in the wicker basket.

The Mirror






The Mirror
Tears fell and settled in the heart of you
shining jewels from the blue above
I walked in your dew drank the air
And wondered your fairy shore
Excalibre sleeps in the mists of your mirror
Calm until the days of hunger
As trumpets call and they awake
To heed the sound of England marching.

My Moth

fireflies twinkle in the evening air
drawn to the beauty of you my moth
savouring the honey suckle deep
nectar delicious in the musk of petals

glide comforting in moments
the flutter of delicate wing
a brush of the cheek tantalises
tongue and lips touch tender

The caress a breath of perfumed air
sensation cooling in the evening heat
then in crescendo the moth is gone
and left wanting the honeyed tresses.

Thursday afternoon

Coffee cup in hand
T.v. remote on the table top
filling in a questionaire
How is your quality of life?

Stroke the cat
dunk biscuits in the coffee
lay your answers one by one
a modern day equivalent of counting blessings.

turn over the channel
complete a competition
answers by phone cost a quid
soon I be thousands richer!

Then my quality of life will be better
Then I'll get that new car
the new house and rich partner
stroke the cat and stir the coffee

Today is Thursday and the walls look tired
A lick of paint would improve my quality of life
some ham in my sandwich and a bed for my cat.
There's a gunman loose on the Estate

Stay indoors is the police advise
its on the T. V. news
And I type sip my coffee and wait
What would improve my quality of life?
