The sunlight shimmers on the sea.
Its light reflects from white wave crests
The waves which roll in endlessly
engaged upon their ceaseless quest.
...

Keeping Faith.

I am benighted and afraid.
Darkness descended rapidly.
...

Beneath the moon alone I dance
to music only I can hear
Though other folk may look askance
and turn away to hide their fear.
...

In days of yore long, long before
the spoken word took written form.
The Bards, the guardians of the lore.
In Great Men’s halls they would perform.

Que Sera Sera.2009

With passing time the stoutest walls
will slowly crumble into dust
...

Thou art the mistress of my heart
I like it not when we’re apart.
I glory in thy company.
Without thee then my life would be
...

Sometimes I sit, sometimes I think.
At times I can combine the two.
Time passes by quick as a wink
As I nostalgically review.
...

Although I write mainly for me.
I choose to share my poetry.
With other poets on the net.
The only thing that I regret.
...

Now you are gone I realise.
An empty bed expands in size
Though when I look it seems to me
To be the size it used to be.
...

I slept and in my dreaming wept
for promises I made: Unkept
The promises I did not keep
return to haunt me in my sleep.
