Thomas Golding Poems

How light the space when you're all near
A flight of swans across an evening sky
Who wheel and turn with grace before descent
To mirrored lakes for lovers to admire.
...

THE FASHION SHOW

To conclude our show we leave you with a dream
For every woman, place and time
...

I see her face in strangers as they pass
A silhouette, a turn of hand
Momentarily a pause confusing time
Whilst hope is captured yet again
...

LOVE POEM 2

I saw your portrait in the pool
Where autumn blossoms float
...

IN PRAISE OF MODERN WOMEN

“There is truth in wine, ” claimed the Romans
Those ancient imbibers should have known better
...

She curls on the couch
Tears stain the cushion
streak down her cheeks
Wide open window
...

Images of dew shaken down by wind
Marvel of engineering line and brace
The builder crouches to defend
As my form looms gigantic
...

Mirror mirror on the wall
Who is least fit of all?
Watch that muscle straining by
Chasing rainbows in the sky
...

How unsightly by day
Those old telephone lines
Back in the nineteen forties
Erratic moirés of copper
...

If I sing aloud in the world
Will my song be heard?
To the tone deaf all songs are flat;
If I never raise my voice
...
