Damn Bird
"Damn Bird"

All the King's Corsairs & Grand Sailors them all!
Went to winds in efforts enthralled~
Ken o'lone sailor whot's ayre so then gone~
Nay naught e'er whot's seen any day's dawn~

For once they did'st sail seas then so steep~
Naught o'fear o'anywhot's ayre 'er deep~
& the corsair's king...

My Celestial Life
My life goes on and on
without any breaks nor rest
it’s like an icicle that melts
but never goes away.
My life is as perfect as it could be
like a rose to be seen
A garden of such beauty
from the fence to the house
My house is warm as a
fire...

History Repeating Itself Inspired By Jesus To Save Iraq
Look at the bible
it was written as a rock thrown to the future
in case history repeated itself
and there was yet another religious war

here it is
in our presence
bullets and bombs
and enemies who have no reason to hate

send someone in there with a plan to slide
some signs
to...

Ballad of the Harecastle Tunnel
The moon shone on the water
Dyed ochre by the iron mines. 
Centuries of men have toiled 
In trenches and in chines. 
Carving through the sheer rock face
To tunnel under hills
Canals to link the land of wealth
To the cities of the mills. 
Airless channels deep below
While...

A Picture 1960
A Picture 1960

In the sepia light, a thin man, dressed in a generous grey suit, 
stands reading titles outside a bookshop, in a London street. 

A woman, in a long black dress, white blues and flat, sensible shoes, 
walks up and taps him on his...

The Gush
The gush

    The moon is full not completely round
but elongated and so near I can almost touch it.
A pity the moon only reflects the sun
it diminishes it somehow.

The Chines planted apple trees at the back 
of the moon

and it could not be more wrong.
To eat this esoteric food, you need a thick wallet.

the food industry has taken over
People, eat pizza, fish and chips and occasionally a...

The Well
The water well
There is near the houses a deep well
you can´t stick a bucket on a rope many ropes are needed.
They used to hire a man usually the village idiot
to spend his life hauling up buckets of water.
Villagers believed the water came from the Yanjing...
