Kevin Wyndham Heard Poems

They’re selling up moon plots
Each one by the acre
Bought one for my sweetheart
But still couldn’t take her
...

If Heaven fell
The Earth a cinder
I'd seek your smile
Where e'er I'd wander
...

Wherein doth lie despair
Thus to raise it's hoary head
All happiness happily to despoil?
Betwixt hallow'd contentment
...

In Paradise 'ere 'twas lost,
There walked in chains unbound
A love that fell to Earth,
Love lost that once was found;
...

Fair Summer's breath doth rise anew
And blithely by her balm bestows
Upon the multitude and few
From tangled thorn to bloody rose
...

When sorrow's flight
Doth fancy flee
Think not on sorrow
But think on me
...

The 'Now' is an instant
Untethered in time
A speck without substance
A ghost on a line
...

The circuits lie cold
The battery dead,
Machine can’t convey
All the thoughts in my head;
...

Beneath how many skies
Have I lain here with thee
In times long forsaken
By our history?
...
