Dance

Dance


A poem was

Shapeless yet
Unformed by words
Then sensed

Given licence to jump from heart to head
And dance
And the feeling danced alone

Oh then came words
They paused the feeling
They made it fall to floor from ceiling
And Stop
Dancing
Stop
Feeling
Stop
Chop chop
Line up
Turn round
Turn
Into
Sound

A poem was
A silent thing

Stand-alone intelligence

Stand-alone intelligence

I open my mind, find some small truth
With a pin I extract it; a braincell...
Well, it's proof.

If I feed it, water it, keep it warm
I might end up with 2, 10
Maybe a thousand more

I have no need to think now
With my braincell doing all the work
Finding ways to balance the economy
And...save the earth

It's a costly business, this
Brain in a jar
But it'll be worth it in the end
I can bu...

Luvvie

The most wonderful word in the whole wide world
Is a wonder-filled word called LOVE
No other world has a lovelier word
And I heard that it came from above
There isn't enough of this LOVE it is rare
But LOVE is the stuff you invest when you share
A wonder-fuelled word in a crazy world
Another lovely word is CARE.

The Runaways

We escape to the forests on wild dewy days
A glimpse of light through the trees...and the haze....
The moisture contains such a sweet fragrant smell
And I listen while my lover says
"This is our home now, we'll live here alone
Just like lovers in stories of old...
We'll hunt for our food and I'll go and cut wood
For a fire when the days become cold..."

The summers' goodbye turns the leaves gold and dry
Th...

Surrender No 5

I want to be a perfume bottle
Made of purple glass with a knotted silver necklace
Looking and smelling sweet
From my head to my feet

My face, but a perfume bottle body
My friends and I would party on the dressing room table
Rose, Amber, Pearl, Pink, Diamond and Jade

I'd the join the hierarchy of perfumes
The most original of scents
The tried and tested musky kind
Guaranteed to get men flustered and determin...
