Shaun William Hayes Poems

I stand
The light breeze teasing my head
The sun kissing my lips in hot passion
The sky so blue I want to swim in it
...

The Sun rose slowly over the Downs
Deceiving the early risers with its promise of warmth.
The half-light gave a spectral air
As the first blue blooded aristocrats
...

The scene is white
Nothing but purity
Add to this a few stout conifers
Still green?
...

Sometimes when I am alone and quiet
I get a kind of feeling,
Like the taste of a half remembered dream
That fades away when focused on,
...

I stand before the Oak
And become the forest

I step into the fire
...

I am a man
My head is full of dreams
...

It is the morning
And the reality is cold and unfeeling
...

Not ready yet to whisper my regret

Still yet a while to see your smile
...

The sensations, overwhelming
Our fuses, overloaded
We shut down in each other's arms
Crying and laughing, holding close and warm
...

Dare we teach
.... Our kids to be thinkers
and honour their thoughts
even when they don't comply
...
