The very word itself is inspiring; it conjures up in my mind a world of infinite wonders that I can only marvel at.  Wonders that my head remind me that nature does not revolve around me, but around a vast universe of possibility.  For whether I acknowledge it or not, Mother Nature and all her diverse energies will continue to exist long after I have evaporated into the sand of earthly time.  She will continue to vibrate at her own frequency ever evolving and enhancing her beauty until she metamorphosis into the star she is meant to be.

The poems and writings on this site and within my books are purposely simple and are meant as building blocks to deeper thoughts (yours not mine).  They are reminders of things that in time have been overlooked or forgotten.

Please accept these little ramblings as signposts to the world you might have left behind in the innocence of yesterday

The Reason I’m Alive April P.O.M.

The day that I first saw you

When you opened up your eyes

And looked at me with loving

That came as no surprise

From then until forever

I hoped you’d realize

That I’m only here to catch you

It’s the reason I’m alive

Those nights I’d tell you stories

Adventures from my mind

Always with happy endings

That made the world seem kind

And if by chance you fretted

That I might slip away

And leave you in the darkness

Where unknown fears do lay

I’d calm those silly notions

With a light of love so bright

For I’m only here to catch you

That’s the reason I’m alive

You danced right through your school days

But kept your sense of fun

Moving swiftly to romancing

That’s were the change begun

I only seemed to see you

As in and out you came

With parades of different faces

Til one at last remained

Though not the very essence

That I myself would choose

But all these little notions

Were yours alone to cruise

Then came that day of anguish

That shattered all your dreams

And nothing of the future

Was worth your time it seemed

It’s then you turned towards me

With eyes so full of tears

And I was there to catch you

And chase away your fears

You gave me many kisses

As through this life we rolled

And lots of little angels

For me to nurse and hold

You filled my way with meaning

And bathed me in your light

My precious gift from heaven

My joy of sweet delight

But the passage of time is constant

And the journey can be cruel

To think I’d live forever

I would be a fool

With eyes you looked upon me

And in them I saw fear

But let me tell you something

And make it very clear

I am here to catch you

Forever and a day

Since the moment that I met you

My love for you will stay…. PTT

EL DORADO

EN ROUTE TO LANDS OF PLENTY

I’LL LAZE BENEATH THE SUN

AND THINK ABOUT THE RICHES

THAT IN MY WORLD WILL COME

THE HAZY DAYS OF SUMMER

WHEN I WILL DRINK LIFE’S WINE

FROM OUT OF GOLDEN GOBLETS

WHICH THE EARTH HERSELF DESIGNED

ON LONG AND FRUITFUL EVENINGS

I’LL GAZE RIGHT INTO SPACE

BETWEEN THE MANY STARS

MY ROAMING HEART WILL CHASE

THE CREATURES ALL ABOUT ME

WILL DANCE AND SING AND PLAY

RESTORING ALL MY LOSSES

AS IF THEY NEVER STRAYED

I’LL BE A KING AMONGST MEN

THOUGH ALL MY CLOTHES BE TORN

GRATEFUL FOR THIS MOMENT

AS A SON OF GOD I’M BORN

FOR HE AND ALL THE ANGELS

WILL KEEP ME IN THEIR LIGHT

AND I WILL BE SO HAPPY

I’LL PRAY WITH SHEAR DELIGHT

FOR MY BEING NEEDS NO MONEY

TO MAKE IT WHAT IT IS

A COMPLEX THING OF BEAUTY

FOR ALL THE DAYS I LIVE

    I always find your poems so refreshing and indeed relaxing. When life becomes a whirl and gets too fast to cope with I just ‘fix’ myself by reading what you bring forward. Indeed a great tonic for me. Thank you Phil x

I have a firm belief in angels and feel them around me all of the time, especially when I need an extra bit of help in making decisions

Also, as I get older, I have a much better appreciation of the beauty of Mother Nature and enjoy nothing more than to sit in my garden and let her overwhelm me with her many gifts

The poems and writings on this website are reflections of my thoughts on various subjects, as they wander through my mind
