Pure Chocolate


Every flavour has been flavoured before
until i see a Mars bar hovering at my door
Dammit!
I'm losing it...
then i wonder, just whose is it?
I'm Cocoa Curious
but not to know her name
is not to play her game
'cos caramel's the same
once you get to the centre
no!
this is "do NOT enter"
& that's not what i'm after

I'm chasing her laughter
down the rabbit hole
onto yellow brick road
falling into a candy-coated fairy tale
where Princess meets The Toad
but just then, without warning,
my delirium slips-

...pure chocolate's melted into
Miriam's lips...


To Be Continued... The Toad

Baby Bruce

Look at my Goddess
doing her duty
with the grace and beauty
of a WonderWoman

just a little more, baby
give me just a little more

even with a crown or a cape
she couldn't be more superhuman
if love is faith
then she's my Holy Qu'ran

we're almost here, baby
baby almost here
baby's so so near

Look at her shut her eyes
to fire that one last shot
that's right, baby,
give us all you've got
my Beautiful Baby
you're such a Queen

then she gives me the first miracle
i've ever seen-

Look at his sparkling un-used eyes
dont laugh at daddy
dont laugh when he cries
My Son
but also My Moon and My Earth
your birth is now the sum of my worth
within your tiny, magical hands
is every dream i ever aspired to be as a man

Thank you, My Angel
My Warrior Woman
this is where the heavens meet
my heart is now complete


In Honour of our new baby boy, Bruce III.... God watch over you little man... Heavens know i will.... Love Uncle Rich.

Doing Time


I'm a soldier in my own mind

a True Soldier, that means no crying

...but i committed no crime

feel i was loved on borrowed time...

Hurt Yourself


You woke up with my back to you
felt you grow colder
nudged my left shoulder
simulating the one trick you could do
"...this is not about him..."
you whispered
as you drew me in
But i was dreaming of the sky
of the angels who sang of shame
yet you would not call out his name
rocking me to this unrehearsed rhythm
Up and down, front then left
"...end me now.... love is theft..."
it was clear you were still with him
one soul tear was how it had begun
yet a sea of soles couldn't induce me to cry
for while you wrought vengeance upon the sun
I-
my heart was exclusive to the sky.
