More bombast from President Puking

Along with real bombs and threats of nuking.

To suffer defeat must be very vexing

But can be relieved with some annexing

Of parts of a land you've chosen to invade

In the hope you've got it made

By a "special military operation"

Designed to achieve quick domination.

But aiming high can bring you low

And Puking has some way to ...

The colour of your shirt does not determine your standing or standard of life,

Your position within a company does not make you who you are,

When describing one's self it is hard to not chronicle ones job,

Instead regale your sole and subsequent wisdom.

Take upon yourself the look of spring!

All the world will love you, that you must know!
Standing as death, brittle enough to break!
Take upon yourself the look of spring!

It is the trodden beetle who knows death
megalithic stones, millenia erect, do not.

The guns are silent now

packed away into shiny cars

with much back slapping

The birds are flying well,

and watch them tumbling,

necks routinly rung -

Though your perfect tiny toes are curled!

It's coming, I know it,

My final hours of life,

I have regrets

But I have no more strife,

My past stretched behind me

There is nothing ahead,

I'll be relieved when the time comes.

When I'm finally dead.

When that moment arrives

When finally I'm gone,

They'll say of me

His pitiful life, done,

He lived, he loved, he laughed,

Somewhat reluctantly.

What should be a simple counting of heads

Is here a pratfall buried with the bones

Dumped near the fenced-off railway sheds.

For freedom’s optimistic tidings

Are out of fashion in these parts,

Their wagons mothballed in the sidings.

In place of a future based on trust,

The polished tracks will soon become

A instrument of power’s grasping lust.

Men dined on my humility

Ate from my insecurity

Forever in my broken heart

As rising bills through my letterbox swarm,

My main worry is the rising cost of keeping warm.

Having to cut back on meals to make ends meet,

My health is at risk unable to afford to heat !!

In having to choose between warmth and food.

Salades are becoming my main meal,

Rising gas prices making cooking a no deal. !!

Nelson Mandela was his name.
And though he suffered much injustice,
No-one would he ever blame.

Twenty seven years he spent in prison,
And with much cruelty he would face.
And while he felt to no-one hatred,
He wished to make the world a better place.

Without bitterness or vengeance,
Everyone he understood.
And though he was badly treated,

Some friendly grief to ease

Waves tore us apart,

Time widened the gap.

Seasons have passed,

Tides have changed,

How you have been, 

How life has treated you.

Our collective, ‘keep’ no company.

authority knows gives license to keep

Don’t go so soon my moon.  There are things left to say to tide you over.

To and fro, we are awash, wavering with a wanderer’s wrecked yearn,

yielding yet yanked from you.  Beating the heart out of grief, we cuss the fair

memories that curse us, li...

I wish I were the Master of Peace,

there'd be no tears of war, no suffering, no grief.

No evil, No corporations, No governments and No Police.

I wish I were the Master of Pain,

For it's such a sweet, pleasurable learning.

No anger, No shame.

I'd teach those who exploit, that our life is not your gain.

I wish I were the Master of Place, 

I'd spread my wings from ag...

Our Dad’s Battle with the booze

An Englishman’s home is his castle

A platitude, most of us know

But, if our home was a castle

It’s one where you wouldn’t want to go

There were nowt castle-like about our house

Except for walls, that were covered in mould

And archaic windows, with hardly no glass

Which could scarcely keep out the cold

But still….. t...

The Vault of Dreams

Subliminal moments flutter past

Shadowy faces forgotten or lost

Emerge to live anew in our darkest view

This we unnaturally self imbue

Passive observers we partly engage

In a place with others on a stage

Time has no domain in this dimension

We are subject to another retention

The natural elements seem remote

As we sail about without a stroke

I wonder if you hear me,I wonder what you think 

I wonder if you're liking the things I eat and drink 

I wonder how you're sleeping is everything okay 

I wonder what new limbs you have and how much you've grown today 

Are you a boy or a girl? I have a feeling you're a girl

Does your hair grow straight or does it have a curl

What colour will your eyes be 

How much will you weig...

Can no one fall from the frown of the circle

tree trunk heavy from past trust tithes

Deep blue eels that run under the skin

ready to cut, taking fronds of blood

Chant for triggers, for lapses, for minds

finish my turn when he's had enough.

Clothed fringed with moments of madness,

as we claw at their pig skin seams

Tear the etiquette away as we fall.

The beast corner...

He was just my friend

two souls that crashed in the universe of time

We were told to just be a fling

Not to be lovers

Not to feel the sting

The sting that only lovers can feel

Not to be smushed under his heel

I thought it was going to last

Not be put in the past so fast

And that’s what hurts the most is

not being able to be his friend –

9/3/22

Sometimes I feel trapped.

Trapped in this town.

Knowing what I want but not sure how to get it, verbalizing my doubt and I know it.

Smoking a cigar with whiskey like I'll figure out something that hits me.

I'm not exactly unhappy but I feel stuck.

 No quiet place to be alone, it even feels like this in my own home

In an apartment surrounded by voices and a marsh surroun...

words can carry with them a certain weird

emptiness the poison enamel

of this sole-fuelled exterior reality 
the blandest constrained phrase like
the sound that began the Earth
the sanest gateway

in a muddy forest of grief-laughing

and transient unstable compulsions 
somehow sacred maybe
from another time a resonance 
the sound of voices from the little Saturn box
mena...

Saga of joy ethereal
In my own anticipation
Transcendental manifestation
Humanely celestial
Bewitchingly pulchritudinous!

Aura always so effervescent 
Elegance speaks praise
The world is yours in so many ways
Richly benevolent 
Bewitchingly pulchritudinous!

Disenfranchised; it's emancipation actually 
Your ebullience touch the new high
That glimpse, a consolation, and a deep sigh.

When a beautiful day awakens
The sky unfolds itself slowly from its sleeps
Blushes as she unravels her beauty
The birds serenade her
The trees sway
The morning dew glistens just for her
The fresh air whispers in her ear...
The flowers giggle..
The sun peeks slowly so as not to startle her...
The bees buzz a sweet hum to get her going
The mist covers her as the sky sighs and gets ready fo...

My mind is exhausted….it’s constantly running.. 

Headaches fueling my caution telling me to take precautions…

But I don’t listen begging for my brain to rethink its decision…

How can I cut the string which connects you and I? 

With the  knife you put in my back when you said goodbye…

Having feelings…I’m unaccustomed… 

But night turns to day as m...

A DATE WITH YOU 

On a date with you 

Theres only sunshine 

On a date with you 

You will look divine 

On a date with you 

We will walk and talk 

On a date with you 

My eyes will stalk 

On a date with you 

My heart will sing 

On a date with you 

I feel Cupid's sting 

On a date with you 

We laugh for hours 

On a date with you 

I'll bring you flower...
