Last Call

Welcome friends,
And thanks for coming,
To my farewell party,
The last one of ‘em all.
Don’t be sad,
Please be happy.
For I can assure you,
I had a ball.

Remember, the good times,
The fun and the laughter.
The trying times,
When life was just, but, a game.
Remember the sad times,
The hurt and the sorrow.
And I do apologise,
If I caused you pain.

But now it’s over.
I’ve come full circle.
The sun no longer,
Shines on me.
But, in my heart,
And, in my soul,
Is contentment
So, let it be.

Now, I must go, for
The bells are tolling
It’s now my time,
It’s now my calling.
So, I raise my glass,
And, say three cheers.
Please don’t forget me,
In the coming years.

Do hear the music,
It’s fading now.
My song is over,
I take a final bow.
The curtain closes,
There’s no encore.
The stage is empty,
There’s no more.

Now hear the silence,
As it fills the hall.
My name, is whispered,
T’is me they call.
It’s time to go,
To leave you all.
Just don’t forget,
I had a ball.

Sammy the Seagull

Awk, AWk, AWK,
Goes the seagull
Every morning
At 5.35

Awk, AWk, AWK,
It's exasperating
Provoking,
Maddening

Awk, AWk, AWK,
It's enticing
Alluring
Me

Awk, AWk, AWK,
To get a 12 bore
Take aim
BOOM
(silence)

Death, Under the Radar

Drones,
Silent with
The gaze of a Peregrine
Falcon, that
Descends
Surely, swiftly,
Bringing death.
No trial by law,
Just obliteration.
And like the Peregrine,
It knows no borders.

I Succumb

Dreaming disturbed
Heart arrhythmic
Breathing askew
Aimless wanderings
Of the mind
You witch, bewitcher
You've enchanted me
With your assiduous
Assault upon my being
Albeit foolishly
I let you in
With apprehension
Betwixt the passage
Of my cage of ribs
And allowed you
To stroke my heart
But only
For a little while
As it is so tender
So sensitive
So guarded
To the guiles, the
Wily wanderings
Of love.
I marvel
I fear that
The sharpness
Of cupid's
Unseen arrow
Has once more
Breached my
Defences
And i must
Surely
But, slowly
Surrender
To that opium
Called
Love

Death, of An Alzheimer's Victim

A coin tossed
By father and son.
The father lost,
The son, won

Father approached
His wife so dear,
His eyes brimming
With saddened tears.

And on the bed,
His love did lay.
And from his lips
His soul did say

Oh, darling wife
I'll miss you so
But I'll keep my promise,
And let you go.

She did not speak,
Nor did she cry.
But, did release
A forlorn sigh.

Goodbye, my moon,
My star, my sun.
Then left the room,
And in came son

Oh, darling mother
Pearl of mine.
Let me hug you,
Let us entwine.

Thank you dearest,
For your love divine,
Please forgive me
Oh, mother of mine.

With heavy heart,
And loving grace.
He placed the pillow
Upon her face...

Underground

It's dark in here
Dead boring too
My neighbours don't talk much
I'm floating in a puddle
Of putrefied juices
That have percolated
Through the billion
Pores of my back
It stinks in here
No ventilation at all

A persistent
Hard-shelled beetle
Has been trying to enter
My ass-hole
For the last half-hour
He's beginning to bug me
Wish I could clench
My ass-cheeks
And squish the bugger
But, I'm helpless

I just have to lie
There and take it
Endure the centipedes
Millipedes, slithering
Burrowing, across my
Brain, from left ear
To right, feeding
On my mind
Won't be long
Till they start on my mind

How the hell
Am I supposed to
Rest in peace?
More like ...piece by piece
That beetle has given up
On my sphincter
Whew....
Wait a minute
He's scurrying
Towards my balls.

Black

Black, majestic,

Canvas of the

              Universe


Black, seen,

But,
              Untouched


Black, owns

The night,

              Infinite.

De Profundis

I hunger,
For my youth.
For those lazy,
Hazy, crazy,
Sperm-filled days.
When my eyes
Feasted with devilment,
Instead of mockery,
Upon the young
School of nymphs
That swam up
And down the corridors
Like silver darlings
Of the sea

The wonderment
Puzzlement
Of the flesh.
Memories of
Soft bouncy buttocks,
Budding breasts
Licentious legs
That tormented,
Teased, pleased
That frenzied, wild
Stirrings of my loins.
How i loved life then,
With it's silent promise
Of great things to come.

A Glimpse

One day
I saw
Up high
Above, a
Discernable shape
Of a Golden Eagle,
Scavenger supreme,
Gliding solitary,
Amid a sky
Of cerulean hue.
Suddenly,
It veered left,
Diminishing,
In height,
Then sight,
Finally receding,
Beyond
The Mountain
Of Bennachie.

Afterlife

Gentle wind
Blowing
Ashes
             Me

Dust
Carbon
Atoms
             Be

Of earth
Sun
Moon
             Sea

Proton
Neutron
Quark
             Free
