Oh for a Son!

     Oh for a Son!

By the strength of Odin

It may be yet saved,

Fierce and wild have been

The battles I have faced.

But I’m still calling,

Waiting on a child,

The courage of a warrior,

And the wisdom of a sage.

Tell me oh mysterious time,

When will this gift,

Finally be mine,

And shall I know divine?

How are the cards

Stacked against my favour?

Is it the reward of

Disgraces of my past,

Or is it really more,

I failed another that you’d asked?

Oh mighty universal intention,

When will I discover,

The use of your invention?

Aching breast, heavy in woe,

Struggling to live at peace,

With what I’ll never know.

Have I not been tested,

Past the breaking point?

Could I not be allowed,

A son I could anoint?

Sins of the father,

Paid still by the son,

Was not my honour worthy

Enough to act upon?

Pain is in my waiting,

The bane of all mankind,

Wondering of what is real,

And what is still to find.

Legacy to what is good,

Pure and right and true,

Bless me father once again,

This seed would err bless you.

Hope on men be wasted,

If glory filled my soul,

The heir to my good fortune,

Should carry on this role.

Filling earth with peace and love,

And sharing loving kindness,

A son who shone the light of love,

Could rid this world of blindness…!

Eternal Sunshine

  Eternal Sunshine

Turn the spotlight on me,

Fierce are the voices,

The sacred little murmurings

Of my fear, or are they

Madness?

Who in their right mind, can

Know who I really am?

The product of my imaginings,

Or the wilful acts of betrayal,

Of the hatefulness from within.

Constant are the voices here,

Doubting if I’ve ever heard,

Had I ever been alive,

And will my spotless mind

On tranquilisers or amphetamines

Come to help me escape

Or survive!

Scope for clues of love,

Tired eyes weep and blink,

Somebody dropped in the drink,

Hidden again beneath the sink.

Can we see this sunrise,

Do we travel with open eyes?

Are you wind or vapour still,

For could this day be prized?

Amen I accept the cruelty,

My life affects the novelty,

Drowned in comfort on the sea,

Did you manage to eliminate me?

What games are played with

Malice and fortuitous glances,

Did we fall and settle dances,

Could the law be felt undone,

Where all I wanted more

Was to run and run..

Brightness scorched across

My face, subtle at first,

A lasting degrading trace,

Held on rods of purest gold,

Lost beneath the days gone cold.

Love in envy brought the wine,

Sad and happy you’d been mine,

Once upon a restless time,

We held the cup of winning rhyme.

Drunk is messed and without limit,

I had seen there’s no more in it,

You took steps to blow my mind,

And dust and rust is all I’d find.

Red the blood to save my soul,

Green has routed from this hole,

Death now closes, a worthy goal,

For all is new that fills my bowl.

The Squeeze

    The Squeeze

Tender young and supple muscle,

Writhing in and out of sight,

Holding you would be amazing,

Intimacy would be so right.

Fallen to the will of flesh,

Being held is what I’m craving,

Someone warm and lithe and restless,

Perfect heat for our misbehaving.

Here is wanting for the apple,

To stroke nirvana is what I race,

Unbuttoning straining of kept fabrics,

Would keep this smile upon my face.

Beauty wove its’ kind of magic,

To feed my eyes and searching hands,

You have proved a rare temptation,

One that enjoying you, understands…

In Her Shoes

     In Her Shoes

Soft starlight sandalled feet,

So fair and exquisitely lovely,

Is this angel who blew my way,

And here my love desires to say.

Such elfin and spritely lines,

Emanating from everything she does,

For she is precious like desire,

And oft’ to cause my heart to fire.

Sarah is the child of grace,

Full and buoyant oozing life,

Bringing freshness and love to this place,
And a rapturous smile upon my face.
