SPIRITUAL LOVE
There is now no condemnation,
We are encompassed by His love,
No need for dire consternation,
Hold Him in reverence above,
His unearthliness, my reason,
For apathy, there's no season,
It's predilection for His dove.

The APATHY of our captive gate-herding guards was outstandingly pronounced.
One appeared to have a PREDILECTION toward a disbelief in honor of any kind.
My spiritually-advanced cellmate exuded UNEARTHLINESS when head-trounced.
Yet the gate-herders expressed no CONSTERNATION or REVERENCE to my mind.
I felt much emotion while I was ENCOMPASSED in dark cell of the mono-herd.
A tiny bit of CONDEMNATION oozed out; they had dog-ears that swiftly heard.
My cellmate had physically vanished by then, so the punishment was all mine.

Brexit Sonnet No.7
‘Words Escape Me’
Have you seen them, can we track them down?
Words escape me, on the run, or lost.
We had them once, now they can’t be found,
This Brexit friction hides a fearsome cost.
Pluralism can’t be seen or traced,
I’ve looked real hard but not a sign from May.
Binarism has won that crucial, crazy race,
Whilst Tolerance, my once best friend has gone away.
What of Inspire, our fine Olympic friend?
He was there to share that great event,
But now, Falsehood’s beat him on the bend,
And where was Multiculturalism sent?
Camerooned we are, left to shout ‘In’ or ‘Out’,
Our Language, Culture, Country – now in doubt.

Two hearts,
One beat.
Forever overcoming
defeat.
Imagine, you plus me
Picture, things we would see
Crop, all the bad things around
Edit, all the bad sounds
Paste, put two and two together
Cut, all the bad weather
Simplify, what life means to you
Redo, a past you once knew
Shape, a future into something you need
Insert, the words you plus me
Learn, our hearts as one
Finalize, what needs to be done
Review, the life that you once knew
Complete, you hear with the feelings that speak true
Finalize, Spell check all of your errors
Remember to remove all your fears
When your complete, and ready to be checked
Remember it was me, that you could always connect
