Nightmare
A tantalizing sight amongst the dream of days
an almost imperceptible image as the sunlight plays.
I reach out but find reality wanting
I falter and hesitate to seem assenting
to dark and lustful thoughts arriving
from the murky fog of magical mountain pathways.
The likeness takes on a sensual presentation
Should I flee this fast approaching demon
Dark and heavy beside the tomb
over-powering dazzling lights in the gloom.
Crazy! This fast approaching portent of doom
creates no response just absolute resignation.
Extricate yourself from desperate endangerment
the path you choose should enable you to circumvent
this hopeless and insane inaction,
initiate a swift reaction
you need affirmative distraction.
Or else prepare yourself for lasting torment.

About Me
About me
I am a retired engineer/scientist but have had a life-long dalliance with writing. In my early teens I was writingmy own songs/lyrics and this developed into a love of poetry and poetic verse which I became quite serious about just a few years ago. I write a blog on which Ihave been posting my writing. I know I have lots more to learn about writing poetry.
I am married with two grown boys, unfortunately no grandchildren and non on the horizon. This leaves my wife and I fairly free to indulge a love of travelling. Many weekends in the year we can be found visiting parts of the UK.
I also consider myself an artist and love to photograph some of the places we visit. These interests of course all have their own blogs which I like to keep up todate.
Location: Solihull, UK, GBR
Favorite Poets
I need to think about this ...
Although I read quite a lot
I have never been attracted to one particular poet. I do know that I am a fairly traditional type; however I have been trying to extend myself lately.
