Waiting for Sense and Sensibility

Chilled Jurassic in the auditorium -

Remembering the cathedral before evensong -

The quiet streets she knew -

Waiting for Sense and Sensibility -

The Rex

Jazz by the sea

Jazz by the sea -

A pale moon in the night sky -

The Penthouse House Trio playing My Foolish Heart -

A tender saxophone whilst I wait for you - 

The Show Bar

The Mowlem 

Swanage 

October 6 2026

As warm as the sun

Forgetting the long hours of the night -

Swimming with you -

Later holding your hand-

You saying our hands are cold -

While your smile was as warm as the sun -

The last apples

The last apples are on the tree -

I see my shadow -

Longer with each bright hour - 

The Old School House 

East Stoke

Speechless ghosts

We climbed the high hill -

We passed dead trees, sculpted by the wind -


Below were the poignant bones of the village -

The ceilings of air in the shattered houses -


The school for invisible children -

A telephone box for speechless  ghosts -




Worbarrow Down

Whilst he was on the swings his smile touched heaven

We'd waited for Jake amongst the nanas and young mums -

There were dads wearing sliders -


Anne scooped him up in her arms -

His class was called Robins -


In the park, Jake ate strawberries -

Whilst he was on the swings his smile touched heaven -

It comes back to me

It comes back to me -

I remember -

Before you fell out of love with me -

When you were wild and naked -

I thought it would go on forever -
