Neil Chatterton’s Poetry Collection~
Bio: Neil Chatterton
I write for fun and because I am moved/inspired by an “event” – can be something I see on my journey into Manhattan, or something that someone says in passing, or conversation. I try never to force words and I went several years without writing anything. My writing has picked up over the last couple of years, and I just found an old poetry book that I used from the late 80′s and early 90′s – that’s pretty exciting for me!

Crawl Inside My Soul
Laughter Mixed with rhythmic sounds. Furtive glances Searching the room. A dance of sorts Paced slowly Everyone embraces such a feeling. Exhale. As you pass I breathe you in Leave nothing Wanting it all. Eyes sparkle Mesmerizing Holding everyone Focused attention Hearts pounding The room swells and falls As the bass reaches its own crescendo. Read More
Enigma
Slicing through the waves Seeing that distant shoreline Open its arms to welcome Like going home for tea. The playful wind sees too And turns away Apathetically now Like a spoiled child Off in search of A new toy. Flag waving throng Lines the quay The marching band Fills the air with ‘Pomp and Circumstance’. Read More

Unfinished Lament~

Remember Me
Here I am Standing around, feeling lost Eyeing people in this crowd All packed in and crushed together Lights popping, music so loud. Are you in here, like you said For you are the only key But here I see nothing that I want Not even a smile From someone, anyone What’s in here for Read More
Sunshine Becomes You~
I see you leaning A gentle smile on your lips Cascading sun Reflects from your hair Brilliant images Or maybe You sprinkling pixie dust O’er me.

Cruising for Bruising~
My comfort always assured This floating hotel Your latest gift Wrapped ever so neatly With 20 years Of happiness and loneliness.

My thoughts drift again Your position at this exact moment Hardly Cirque du Soleil Read More
A Dish Best Served Cold~
Is Love the excuse As the bitter cold Seeps into every nook and cranny O’er me.

Even though my head is bowed I sense her That unencumbered warmth radiates through me Stealing an Read More
Momentary Lapse in Concentration~
Thinking aloud is never a good thing And being alone gets too noisy You make life complicated But there I am fretting each time I hear my phone ring. Walking, wandering, aimless thoughts always on my mind I want a purpose, a reason to keep walking Instead of living like I’m always caught off guard Read More
When Do The Tears Begin?~
Is it when you feel life inside you? Or when your hormones are rushing around inside, Searching for their place to settle. Surely, when that final push brings life And that first cry of joy is heard, “I’m here Mom!” Those inquisitive eyes looking into your soul, An understanding that your love will be unconditional Read More
Reflection~
Others Regret and Folly Impinge upon me While I look In all the right places For support. Transient figurines Glance and snicker Pointed fingers Gnarly now From years Of bitterness and jealousy. Such an invitation Firmly refused. Strident steps As I open their curtains Blackness retreats and hides Loathsome stares As sunshine and light Empower Read More
Levels~
Suddenly awake A subtle shift in ambiance Or my own fear realized. Dare to move Dare to dream That this feeling is real Wanted it, Desired it, Demanded it. Never contemplating Consequences For me For you Our Life. Now but a used courtesan Watched and treated As a plaything To Have but Never to Hold. Read More
Our Tomorrow Will Never End~
Emotions Ebb and flow As memories now mix With future dreams. Nerves jangle inside Until I see you Find your eyes with mine Then time stands still.

And That's Why They Call it the Blues...
I am defined By rewards. A desire To play in another’s sandbox Any consequences be damned Never glancing behind To see if that riot Was mine. My ruination My comedy of errors Came with a purpose As surely as morning does. Yet I helped tighten the straps Enjoyed the feeling of steel Salivated as my Read More
Singing in the Rain ~by Neil Chatterton
Singing in the Rain A habitual user Satiated As you approach. Tittering Knowing my play on words Will cost me Dearly. Your scent Fills me Straining, chaffing That familiar feeling Accompanied by anxiety Because Helplessness will do that. Am I betrayed By my beating heart Ever larger Filled with pumping blood No longer in my Read More
Over
Don’t look back over your shoulder. Let the memories fill you with laughter. Tears though. At first a trickle, Glistening as they forge their own path Across your cheeks, Which burn with emotion. You stop. As though that invisible hand is against your chest Temptation beckons Oh it feels warm And so inviting. Reluctantly almost, Read More
Festoon
Oh I saw you first. Glancing together Both sitting Under a beautiful sky. Your delicate beauty Intoxicating Over-powering My doubts and angst. You looked Inside me Nothing hidden You knew That I needed you Completely. How can awkward moments Be so lustful Stammered words So inviting Your lips So revealing. As you gently licked your Read More
