This world can be kind of heavy, Sweet,Torment at the corner of every street,Lies, diseases, crime that squeezes every single drop,Of energy from your body till you could drop. Helping people’s a noble quest,But sooner or later you have to … Continue reading Amy and Ivory
In the darkness, Night-time’s cloaked disguise, I can recognise you by the whites of your eyes, Just the whites of your eyes, And your porcelain smile, And the chains at your hip, Set me silver awhile. Chain baby, midnight child,As … Continue reading Chain Baby
My Guardian Angel is very small,No bigger than my thumb,She flies around on wings of lace,And sings the songs of old,She sings,The songs I still recall. Although she may not always be there,She’s always close at hand,Beyond my reach, within … Continue reading My Guardian Angel 2021
The Man in the Moon said; “What a to-do,There’s space in my living room for two, In my kitchen, three or four,And in my lounge for several more, Eight folks around my table could dine,And on my loo sits number … Continue reading The Man in the Moon’s House
I don’t often feel the need to explain my poetry, but this is an exception. This is not so much a poem about John Lennon as a poem about people’s tendency to push their own political and ethical agendas through … Continue reading Don’t Put Words in my Mouth
My home is narrow but stretches far,Beyond the reach of my black eye,Through mountain pass and clovered vale,The jewelled traveller am I. The night sky is my silvern blanket,A waterfall my cooling shower,A million steps recount my lifetime,As wooden wheels … Continue reading Gypsy
Softer sheen of light shot through,Volcanic red and silver blue,Allure of sweet and perfumed skin,Move over move, the games begin. Gentle floating, tingling friction,Lost in passion’s proud depiction,With warm moisture small anointing,Towards a petalled pillow pointing. Random silken strands that … Continue reading Joined at the Lip
My Baby shakes and shivers like a jelly do, She dance the Mashed Potato and the Boogaloo, She’s flunkin’ outta school but well-a bless my soul, She tops the classes when it comes to rock ‘n’roll, You could think to … Continue reading Rock ‘N’ Roll Dynamite!
Hummingbird flits from tree to tree, Sipping nectar like honey bee, Her nature calls, Smiles where she falls, My senses ring, Hummingbird sing. Shining feathers, like velvet lace, Move along there, it’s no disgrace, Eyes like black beads, Obeying her … Continue reading Hummingbird
Drift among the bulrushes, Each sweet and scented flower, Lace wings that blur into life, cascading, Miniature dewdrop shower. Tiny body, matchstick arms, The unknown minutiae stroke and feel, Falling hair like spun gold cobweb, A thing of nature, quite unreal. Alight upon a flower’s petal, Walk a path along its stem, Little men and tiny ladies, In worlds invisible to them. So, fly away into the sunrise, Summer’s here, the meadows sing, Lighter than air, as fleet as fancy, Simple disappearing thing. (c) Paul Ferry 2005 Continue reading Lighter Than Air
