Candle flame doth gently sway
Conjures the demon usually kept at bay
Lover’s felo de se shines bright as the moon
She knows the timing is far too soon

Shriek of hungry vixens surround
She runs to him on frozen ground
Barefoot beneath does not chill
the hunt to have the desired kill

He pulls heavy curtains tight
Blocks out the descending night
She claws ...

Late arrival into meeting room
You look for me amongst
faces you command, commandeer.
I lower my eyes to defend
against the bulleted frontline thoughts
daring an agenda of fantasy.

Sitting opposite; each others target.
Our kindred spirits embrace
only once throughout the hour.
Quick chatter accompanies slow exits;
You need “a word”, and blend me into
a corporate gr...

Keep each other captive
Set each other free
Give all there is to offer
Take all there is to see
Make each other happy
Bring each other pain
Give all that is crazy
Take all that is sane

Torture, tease
Starve, nourish
Resist, desire
Hurt, cherish

No time
Forever

On the floor
Arms held tight
A dangerous edge
In your passionate eye

Are you smart?
Are you sexy?
Are you mine?

My brow furrows
A hesitant smile
I’m uncomfortable
Say yes and comply

or misplaced fingers on qwerty keyboard?

Or does Z mean sleep tight?

Alas I can never sleep as tight

as when I finally hold you in my arms

and wake to sunshine even in a perilous Pennine Autumn.

UNTITLED

Love is an illusion fuelled by hope

Hope is an illusion fuelled by love

The sky is full of ghosts each cloud

A spirit forever trapped in the blue.

The waves carry you and I to meet
 
each creeps a little closer to my feet
 
I retreat, stung by approaching tide
 
I turn my back and try to hide
 
Hopelessly pulled back, my mind
 
succumbs to salty kisses entwined
 
Turn again with depth and force
 
of emotion from tempestuous source
 
Thrown up, smashed and broken
 
an inevitable part of loves token
