Mervyn Graham Poems
If yesterday is but a memory
And tomorrow is but a dream
That makes today our reality
But things are never what they seem
...
The world gasped as it witnessed
That evil act of terror and destruction
All eyes wide in horror and disbelief
Our minds racing, hearts feeling your pain
...
Love's Call
When love calls you.. follow
Even when her ways are hard.. open
...
Our time together was so special
Our time has been so cool
From different walks of life
With contrasting paths to tread
...
I remember an angel
She cried in my sleep one night
Her Voice was all broken
Her spirit was in flight
...
In fields of gold, where winds doth blow,
Stands a scarecrow, with head held low.
His frame of straw, his eyes of glass,
Guarding crops as seasons pass.
...
If yesterday fades like whispers lost in time's tide,
And tomorrow dances in dreams, where hopes abide,
Then today, this our fleeting moment, is our guide,
We within its grasp, illusions often hide.
...
In Tayport's tender embrace,
Where waves hug the rugged shore,
Lies a secret held by time's grace,
A child unnamed, forevermore.
...
In the heart of concrete jungles, where chaos reigns supreme,
There's a spirit that thrives on rebellion, it's more than just a dream.
It's the pulse of the outcasts, the voice of the unheard,
A symphony of defiance, in every spoken word.
...
In a land of giggles, far away,
Where laughter blooms both night and day,
There lived a cat who loved to dance,
With fancy moves and flair, by chance.
...
On Scotland's streets of the 60's, tales spun,
With hopscotch, peevers, under the sun.
Marbles clacked, elastic bands flew,
Childhood dreams in the morning dew.
...
In shadows deep, where whispers sigh,
Beneath the cloak of velvet sky,
There lies a tale of silent death,
The day you breathed your final breath.
...
In the valleys deep, where shadows dwell,
Where echoes of despair seem to swell,
There lies a truth, stark and still,
Rock bottom teaches what no peak ever will.
...
In the land of whimsy, where laughter's spun,
Lies the World Armpit Farting Championship, begun.
A stage of hues, with lights aglow,
An audience awaits, their excitement to show.
...
In shadows deep, where whispers sigh,
Beneath the cloak of velvet sky,
There lies a tale of silent death,
The day you breathed your final breath.
...
My hurt, my pain, my suffering
All brought to the fore
Fears, so long hidden from view
Tears, once so long dried up
...
Envy, that green-eyed monster, does he dwell,
In every shadowed corner, every lighted swell.
His fingers grasp at treasures not his own,
His heart aching for the seeds others have sown.
...
I once played the piano but gave up at an early age
I wanted to write my own songs and play on a stage
I played the accordion but couldn't squeeze out a song
I've strummed a guitar but never got anyone to hum along
...
In the spotlight's glow, old Charlie stood tall,
With laughter echoing throughout the hall.
With his jest, a tale that sparked delight,
Each chuckle roaring into the night.

The Best Poem Of Mervyn Graham
The First Kiss
Warning... it's contains just a little 'adult' content.
The kiss had almost a tentative feel
As if the gossamer wings of a butterfly
Silently had just brushed past
Nothing stirred
Except for the small flames
That licked at them both
Fanned only by their own sighs
Whispers within her saying, can I do this
The small delicate hairs on the back of her neck
Stood like soldiers, tickling but not uncomfortable
The stubble of his unshaven face was felt beneath her fingers, sensitive, alive
So long she had waited for this,
At times the longing was almost unbearable.
Compelled to return to the present,
She wanted to memorize every detail.
The very slight fragrance of his cologne
the silky texture of his hair
the 'outdoorsy' scent of his skin.
She pressed against his body
What she thought long dormant
Once again stirred to life
She concentrated once again on the things
She wished never to forget.
As his arms enveloped her
She offered no resistance
Pulled closer into his embrace
Tentatively, the tip of his tongue found hers
For one-second she felt alarm
But, quickly it was extinguished
Replaced with total surrender
Oblivious to all around her
Drawn into the sanctuary of his arms
Through a deep fog she recognized
The power in his muscles
As sinews started to show
His arms pulled her ever yet closer
The hardness of his body catapulted her deep
Deep into an engulfing inferno
Which she wished never to escape
Leaning into him
She sank ever lower
Into the flames
That licked at her body
Forgotten was the uncertainty
The shyness
In their place
Remained unbridled passion
Lower she sank into his kiss
Her tongue reaching for his
Doing battle
But yet giving
Her arms entwined about his neck
Her breath coming in shorter gasps
Lips upon lips
His hands traveled slowly down her back
With a soft moan
Placing his hands upon her rump
He drew her against him
She felt his hardness
His manhood
Pressed against her belly
she wanted him
Now
Lost in the wetness of his tongue
And the sweetness of his lips
Unconsciously
She returned his fervour
A melting pot of emotions
Played one against the other
Her nipples hardened
Under her silk gown
Her womanhood
Now throbbing with wanton lust
His mouth seared hers
Time eluding as their bodies fused
They breathed as one entity,
Both receiving, both giving.
Deeper into the spiral of love they dove.
Both knew, that never again, would they experience
'That First Kiss'
