I visited mum today 
as I do almost every day

She greeted me with open arms

And then says

‘I didn’t think you’d come ...
I thought you had fallen out with me’

Yet  
Yesterday everything was fine
and it was fine the day before
and the day before that

‘oh it...

Nobody knows what goes on behind this hotel door
‘Mr Smith’ isn’t with his wife of that I’m pretty sure!
He’s with his mistress Sue, they are having an affair
But he is a cheating love rat and he doesn’t really care

A barrage of fists is flying at...

I fell in love with you the second you were born
With light brown hair and sapphire blue eyes
I thought you were perfect!
Over time it became evident that there was a problem 
Test after test showed that you had profound autism
You didn’t reach your milestones like...

The poem must begin with .. And the cemetery was then continue with your poem

And the cemetery was shrouded in a veil of early morning mist
which rose eerily from the grey granite and marble graves.
Desperately searching I crept silently from gravestone to gravestone.
My breath came...

You stare at me with vacant eyes
It’s like living with a stranger
Tears and tantrums we both despise
Where is the man I once loved?

Locked inside your own little world
Sometimes a piece of music makes you smile
But every day I know I’m losing you
I’m losing you bit...

Tears fall; they cannot mask my pain
Grief embedded so deep in my heart.
My stillborn babe, in death he’ll remain
Our whole world has just fallen apart.

For nine months you were a part of me
Time passed by, I could feel you grow.
Your tiny fingers and toes I...

Hey guys you thought it was fun to joy ride
Steal a car and go wild
Racing through the streets
Faster and faster 
You were heading for disaster
Your passenger can be heard shouting on his mobile to another friend
SLOW DOWN! SLOW DOWN!
But the driver laughs
The police are chasing
Blue...

I guess you never meant to cause such pain,
but my world stopped turning on that dark night.
You lost control of your car in the rain -
the mangled wreckage was a dreadful sight,
and my two teenage sons were killed outright.
When the policemen arrived at my door
I...

time stops to slip in ebony night,
emotive clock freezes
eternal pathos in congealed instants, 
silhouetted in the shadow of past, 
smears the strata of darkness,
designed to disguise perception lattice

First pub
Then club

Drinks wine
Feels fine

Cheap drinks
She thinks

Short skirts
She flirts

All night
Drinks spiked

Goes back
His flat

Her fate
Date rape

Off guard
Hit hard

Black eyes
Bruised thighs

Looks frail
Skin pale

White face
Sad case

She’s found
On ground

Night plight!

It’s breaking my heart, but I must let go;
I’ll miss you by my side my loyal friend.
At the vet’s surgery my tears did flow, 
you were wagging your tail until the end.
I’ll lay you to rest in the lush meadow,   
safe in the...

Anacreontic Verse

I’m feeling so blue.
My tears fall
drip, drip, drip.
Eyes bright red
as the deluge flows
unceasingly.
My broken heart aches
and cannot be fixed …
such intense pain
so deep inside.
Why did you leave me
all alone,
expecting me
to soldier on
without you?
I don’t need 
a photograph 
to see your face
as it is printed
indelibly
in...

Placing a red rose on her grave;
tears welled up in his huge brown eyes.
Daddy told him he must be brave - 
mummy is watching from the skies.

He hopes his mummy can see him 
placing a red rose on her grave.
Losing his mummy was so grim,
her...
