Biography
Rhymes, usually with sound+music. I do not pretend that this is posh poetry (or at least the sort of stuff that will appeal to poetry-people). I prefer rhymes... All audio files are on www.RhymesPlus.com

Celebrity: We met through a fleeting sideways glance; You never spoke my name Or dwelt on that accident of chance – As if strangers we would remain. A hurried look, shyness prevailed, Your face defined for me to see In future years of dreams concealed. Our future writ in memory. Your smile excites; my heart it thrills As it has through all these years; Makes me your slave, as love instills A yearning that still adheres. I watch for hours your every move And track your telephone, I stand on guard when you’ve Gone inside, and stay there all alone. Your guardian angel I have become To protect you from all ill, I’ll save you from life’s dirty scum Who might disturb your peace and still. This thankless task is a gift from me To the one that I adore; Your fame gives you celebrity And I want you more and more. One night I shall open your front door Or raise your window pane – Your home to see and to explore Your personal domain. To watch you sleep would be my reward For these years of loyal love, Perhaps to touch, to press forward – You’d have nothing to be fearful of. Just let me be part of your glamorous life. I am determined now That if I can’t have you for my wife Then none can I allow. You must be mine – my sacred prize That none can take away, I’ll haunt you to hell and back Until you bid me stay. There is no escape from my true love I’ll stalk for evermore I’m the creep you can’t shake off It’s what God made me for.

People who write traditional rhyming poetry always feel they have to apologise for it. I apologise all the time. Someone once told me reading my longer narrative poems was like reading a Rupert Bear book, though I think it was meant as a compliment! Don't apologise. Rhyme adds to the flow and requires a particular writing skill. I like your poetry.
