Launch of Website

In addition to this blog (kmorrispoet.com), I have just launched a website which can be found here http://www.kevinmorrispoet.co.uk/.

The purpose of http://www.kevinmorrispoet.co.uk/ is to offer a brief overview of me and my work.

My main focus will continue to remain on this blog (kmorrispoet.com), whilst my website (http://www.kevinmorrispoet.co.uk/) is aimed at those who wish to gain a quick overview of my work.

http://www.kevinmorrispoet.co.uk/ is a work in progress and any comments you may have would be much appreciated. Please feel free to comment here or via email to kmorrispoet@gmail.com

Fantasies

I have chased the chaste
Through nights of delight,
For we can be free
In our secret fantasy.

In my head
I have said
That which I ought
Not to have thought.

And in my dream
It often does seem
That fantasy
Becomes reality.

And in her head
What thoughts of bed
And fantasy
Has she?

For even the chaste
May, in secret fantasy
Relish the chase
And lover’s embrace.

We All Disjoint

At some point
We all disjoint
And go below
To must
And dust.

Transhumanists may deny
That I
Must surely die.
Yet below
I must go.

The Rain Falls Hard

Rain falls hard
In the churchyard.
But those below
Do not know.

On another day
Some other may,
Passing me by,
Think as I.

With My Joyful Balloon

With my joyful balloon
I found the sky.
But find in middle-age
That the balloon soon
Deflates. And of late
My thoughts engage
With Raleigh’s stage.

(Note: the reference to “Raleigh’s stage” is to his poem “All the Worlds a Stage”, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMuWT1iLn3w

Her Ring on My Entry Phone

Her ring on my entry phone.
“I’ve left my key at home.
I live at flat –“.
The devil winks when man thinks
Thoughts he ought not to think.
But ‘twas no sin
To let her in!
