Premium Member He Kept His Own Counsel
Others found him cold, aloof
   a bit of a snob
He kept his own counsel
   had nary a friend
Seemed content with a life
   unengaged, to no clear end

Though his insides were churning
   through felt rejection
his embittered heart burning...

Premium Member Trump's Civil Rights Counsel
If your legal counsel on civil rights
is Jeff Sessions,
then you most certainly learned legal precedent
for validity of crossing your fingers
or your toes
or even just imagine doing so
while denouncing economic and political racism
as evil
and likewise evil,
perpetuating enslavement to fear
and anger
and hate-mongering
among Just Us Good Ol' Boys,

Counsel
Lady,
I am flattered at your skill at harm
Now let me see your skill to build
Tearing down has certain vulgar charm
My soul is but a poet's giant mill
And there is nowhere I intersection find
With shared values or shallow mind
The poet is above reproach, others tried
Before our...

A Counsel House
A counsel house 
	
        12.45pm
	Head Office?
	It's in Dover,
	Well that's depressing in itself!
	Smiley faces and OMG's to the fore.
	A clinical appearance in reception,
	Is that depressing in its own way?
	Clinical I mean.
	Women move about,
	Black and white;
	A grey area perhaps?
	Fifteen minutes...

Counsel To Ruth
The tide of time shall stamp its mark on your face
Making less fair the stunning charm of your youth,
The jealous spell of age shall rob you of your gleam
To leave you a mere shadow of the hey-time Ruth. 

Your well-measured strides shall falter to a...

The Climactic Counsel
A few drops dribbled down the eyes
As she opened them after a deep slumber
of almost 8 hours to be exact.
and the water from the tap did little
to clear the dust and stop the on-flow
as it kept coming down her cheeks.




The memory of the current dream...

Blind Counsel
Apart from my Reason in all of my schemes:
I gave up pretending to live in Her dreams
My vexing ambition for solace had turned
By then, the intrigue of our love brightly burned

Our hearts were pretenders which writhed in the dust
From Love to deception, deception to lust
Content...

The Old Man's Counsel
Down the road I was a-walkin', and
to myself I was a-talkin', when
suddenly came there comes a-stalkin', a
mysterious little man;

His wrinkled face, his ragged cloak,
his crooked back and oak cane spoke
of the travails of time which choke
the sinew of the soul;

'I was like you once, young...

Counsel To My Son
In all your ways,
Indeed your endeavours,
grow big and tall. 
Not so you look down 
on the short and stunted;
and not so you crush 
the small and fragile
But grow tall and big –
so big, everyone can touch you....

Under the Tree
UNDER THE TREE

Under the mango tree,
On the wooden chair he sat,
Resting his head on the tree,
Watching the movement on the ground by the ants,

Old man of many ages,
His grey hair speaks volumes of his wisdom,
Wisdom of great inspirations,
The words of his mouth always calm and...
