The bitter man has long since left
his homeland and his hope
But drags the bitter stench of hate
as surely as a gallows’s rope
...
When young it’s fun to plant a kick
between the legs of foes and friends
When older it may make you sick
unleashing pain that never ends.
...
Let me take you on a journey
to a land where I once played
Where nature sculpted landscapes
so bizarre, they seemed man-made
...
When you take the Sym from Sympathetic?
That “Friend in need” enigma called today
to woman and to man in different guise.
...
Each morning brought new nuances
undressing the day before's garb.
An ever-changing channel through
the stories yet to be told.
...
Believing in a dream is not a crime
if deep within you recognise the fact
that every dream will ebb and flow with time.
Their worth expands but can also contract.
...
The twenty-fifth of January
A day when aw Scots smile
...
The driftwood of dreams
Ebbs and flows
Spins in waltz time
Sinks and surfaces
...
The dread of live interment
had plagued his thoughts for years
His will, laid out the strictest plans
which helped allay his fears.
...
The soil temperature
Falls like a lady’s tissue
But scarcely noticed
...
