So delicate - so dainty
Torrents of letters
Punctuation everywhere
But do I really want to know what form that they will take?

Angels and Demons

Chains
Can we do it freestyle?
My resolve is firm
I start to squirm
Poetic license?
Can it be done?
Apparently, NOT!
This Thing Called Love (apologies to Queen)
It happened in a blink
Just please
Something worthy
Like soldiers into battle – even though they have not won

Dark is the Night

Everywhere

Kytten, Kytten (With apologies to William Blake)
Is it sacred DNA?

Switches off

man or mouse?
an old movie
quite a bore
young minds
waiting to grow
thoughts oblique
what to do?

A Really Rhyming Roem
Serendipity is my flame

Sitting In A Box
listen well
of broken hearts
of silky parts
breathe in deep
get on down
no time to weep
dance with me honey
take it slow
dull defender
no hope of shine
decisions, decisions
is it just lies?
sticky ending?
a definite maybe!

Silent Night

Rapunzel Lives
lies tangled
as one
alive or dead
fighting no more
letting go
in the darkness
dear angel
don't desert me
And in my arms

The Odyssey

Lost in Thought
unshackling

Trapped

I wander here
I wander there
just walking
can be fun

Gripping
As it defies gravity
I feel excited
I feel nervous
Breathe dammit
A rollercoaster of note
Gripping
Building up momentum
But wait!
A loop-de-loop
Oh no!
My head is spinning
Topsy turvy
Banking right
Tunnel up ahead
I close my eyes
I see you
Gripping!

And sometimes stop the watching and just stare into the sky
Eventually I sobered up
I wandered here
I wandered there

Desert Nights

the grains all crossed
think of me
the sea

Bloody Hell
Alas, my queen - they will not come. They are lying down
to sleep.
The sands of time flow swiftly - and soon they all will die
There is a legendary warrior
***
Coming together
But will it die? No. Not yet. The rain clouds gather
Faster now. Rain is good. Will this be the fleeting rain, that
teases

Conditions - Conditioning - Conditioned
Do babies love and hate like us, if shapes they do not see?
Only you, can gaze upon the night and estimate the dots
Only you

Free Me
But no-one will ever eat me; I'm far too old for that
Though I'd be nice and tasty; and I wouldn't make you fat
I'd go and shop for carrots; I'd go and shop for leeks
I wish that I could change them; I'm not the only one, I bet
But one thing I can tell you; in Hell I will not stay
Full of cats
Fancy that!
He swivelled the glass
It really is brown"
It is hard to see
My name is Rusty
The two became one
So be mine forever

Tendrils
I am a lonely artist
My girlfriend is so gorgeous
My girlfriend is divine

no manual - no warranty
devoid of desire
of puzzle - of me!
now - there is purpose
it is what it is
a mountain of misery
Tempest fugits
Time rushes by
growing so quickly
picking up fragments
wanting is useless
we get if we wait
I could carry on
So, I did OK
The air is dry - the days grow cool; static clings to me. The
charge - it is electric; it surges through my soul.
These fragile minds and delicate hearts; they are surely not
ideal.
There is much a naked ape like me, can covet and desire;
but none is more important than the one who makes me
smile.
So swinging now - it's just a dream; that time has come and
gone; just like the hair I once wore long.
The tree is up; the fairy sits - rigid - surveying the festive
scene:
Sigh!
Oh Mammy Blue
Protecting - as I grew.
Perhaps a parasite?
Perhaps it got inside me while I lay asleep at night?
