But beware Cronus on the wing

Artificial intelligence won't become conscious by itself...though it maybe donned by Cthulhu!

Happy New Year
happy New Year
Family and friends
raise a glass and cheer

Some wish for peace
some wish for health
Some wish for joy
some wish for wealth 

Some wish for luck 
some wish for love
Some may wish for
all the above 

Whatever your wish
I hope it comes true  
This is my New Year wish 
for all of you

It's by night you must rush
into your truelove's arms.
Unmoored souls will drift afar
easy as mindless clouds.
Could it be the moon's guile,
in rivalry with the sun,
stealing them away?
Some swear the night itself
dissolves neglected souls,
leaves no trace at all.
Love calls on the unwary:
do not be lured away, maddened,
forever lost in wilderness shade.
There's whisper of mania,

Now we have finished 2022,
What did it mean for me and you?
Had it been for you a lovely year?
Or was it full of dread and fear?

In 2023 do you feel you'll cope?
And shall it contain joy and hope?
Will it contain great determination?
Will it bring unhappiness or elation?

Is it a year for special missions?
And one to plan new ambitions?
Shall it be a year full of belief?
And from you...

My arm fits behind your head,

Your head on my shoulder,

Staring at the ceiling;

Nobody cares. There are no thoughts,
just reverie, and peace. Just to be.

Carpenters working by the beach,
Setting sail,
The wind tips the wide hat over,
The metal of the beam,
The wooden ladled deck,
Partition a wave just before ten,

Crowds did gather,
Another night,
And in the distance it took flight,
The shadows of the foul,
Monitor the gas light beaming,
It's a comfort to sit by and not sin.

Living down those lost depths 

Sure footed, even marked for death

Paucity of words but not without melody

Not ‘If’ but, ‘When.’

When their anger is raging,

          blatant acts of the social engineering of pressure,

When you know but are made weak, disabled in body

While standing shakily as all avenues of help are closed,

There lies the body of one I loved,

weathering the dust of the meaninglessness.

And I do not mourn the face

or the body. I miss

the way she rolled her eyes

when I shamelessly lost an argument;

or her crescendo of anger

at my mistakes. I was not good enough

for her outrage. But her happiness

filled me with such abandoned joy.

And I will die regretting myself.

Human kindness comes calling

As poverty whips our feet from underneath us

And now I say is the winter of our discontent

In unravelled disarticulated bones

Put on your slippers and kill

Spray squidgy on me not acid and I

Shall love you forever bubbles and all.

Go forward to the front

With Motherland yellow sunflower sli...

During moments of purity
I find my chest tight
The familiar feel of panic
As I wonder how long it will last
Pressure building
Like an elephant 
Placing its foot upon my center
These moment of purity
Are not always happy
But sometimes they can be
When the raw feelings build up
Yet they don't come out
Almost trapped
Inside of the vault of my body
And I forgot the passcode
They scream ...

I want to see your face
I want to bore into your eyes
I want you to make me twirl
but I think it's too late

Why did it feel like the last dance
that I'd get before you vanish into the oasis?
Did you have to give up so soon?
I was just getting used to being
someone you called

You asked me why I didn't
take off my mask
I laughed and said that it's become a part of me
only I  knew t...

How do you cope with being alone?

I don’t.

How do you love when you don’t love yourself?

I don’t.

How do you open up to people you know?

I don’t.

How do you handle being left?

I don’t.

How do you give when there’s nothing to give?

I don’t.

Well you must think about your life and friends?

I don’t.

Do you think in the future you can do better?

I don’t.

Image: My suitcase just off the carousel at Manchester Airport, as it came towards me I said "Come to daddy" it felt great knowing that it had been with at both start and  finnish. Three previous tours it had been left behind either going out or coming back and all of them were at Heathrow, that's why Schipol seemed a better idea.

Don't look down on people

Instead pick them up

Share what you have

With kindness and love

The thank you received

Brings Christmas to life.

lift the whole room

with one hand

use the other

to hold them back

while you check

your notes

you get each other

under control

when they feel safe

you let the world in

through a space

between vents

take their questions

replace them

it’s a dangerous job

lookout for America

they come at you

when you’re down

adding on

My name is Ebenezer

And this tale I bring to you

Gives an insight into living

From a killjoy's point of view

Before I start my Yuletide rant

A word of explanation.

Christmas is a drag to me

No cause for jubilation.

It comes around but once a year

Yet seems to last forever

I'm happy when it's been and gone

And it return? Well? NEVER!

Two decades of uniqueness and joy so far and many more to come 

Her name means Life 

Who is like God is the name meaning of her mum

Father Paul ..small and Hansom according to the bible of name meaning 

Kind hearted tower of strength 

Wife Michelle ,because of her he's beaming 

Eve she keeps them breathing 

The heart and soul of her folks existence 

Such bond

The eyes

It always starts in the eyes

You enter the room

Passing by

A slitted gaze through the others

Instant heat

Warm, electrifying

My mind is clouded by you

Who are you

You’re hidden now

I’m distracted

All other matters drop

Front burners of my mind cooking the most perfect of fantasies

Fully satisfying

I see you again

Flushed

Storm clouds move in from the west
the stray cat sheltered eats from a bowl

I study how ballads and satires come to mean
more than words or rhyme

You can say a poet makes magic
a good poet serves a long apprenticeship
learning the tools of poetic craft

The etymology of ‘poem’ has a long history
from ‘to pile up, build, make’

Ancient poets admired for piling of words
and sounds an...

I was just a child when this took place

There's a few memories I wish I could erase

My innocence was violated and will to live and love desolated

The darkness in my heart exacerbated

My own family abused me for reasons unknown

And since then I've never let much of me be shown

I still feel the pain in my chest and my soul is under such duress

The mess still lingers in my h...

How quickly things can change

How quickly you can end up feeling so worthless

So unimportant

So invisible

In the weirdest times, even force doesn’t work

Look at me

Stop making feel like I’m not even here

Stop destroying what little confidence I have left

I would never have wanted it to be this way

But this is the way it is

When the needle pricks your finger.

When you hide under the covers.

When you look under the bed.

When you go down into the basement.

When you dig up the root in the yard.

When you lay someone to rest.

When you drill to find water.

When you mine for gold.

When the sink hole collapses.

When you drop deep inside Krubera.

When Earth cracks in two and you reach t...

Kanye's in the news

Talking smack about the Jews

And it reminds me of the time

I

Had to call time

On YOU.

You and your right-wing podcasts

(More like NOBcasts).

Let's just rewind-

To the time

When would we spend four hours

Using vivid shades and powders

Of 80's makeup *in* the 80's.
