Best Demi Poems
You're the soul of God Apollo teaching,
A pied piper delighting followers.
The Shaman giving hope to those seeking,
You gave an image of life unfettered.
Your life was a fight, you dreaded sheep life,
And your lips in hell burn before you tell.
Guiding sight giving needed life insights,
Demi God unknown to self, born to help.
You were a bright sun with a golden hue,
Welcoming door, an un-corralled stallion.
You’re the greatest teacher I ever knew,
To live a life as you, to inspire youth,
Who will quest for you, and I say I shall.
Our sprits locked, miss a lot, Professor Al.
DEMI-MONDAINE
You belong in silhouette to the dream’s theft
And weft with paid desire, look all adoring
At the man who’s made your life bereft
Of actual household dreams, he says it’s boring
Fresh linen, dimity and damask blue
Would be my veil, too, for daring
To ask: did it happen to you too?
And: when did your sorrow go past caring?
Don’t try to leave this room without an answer
Or you’ll turn back – the swathe of silk
In my eyes - you see, at heart a dancer
Each night I come home with the doorstep milk -
In the big bad world to be a cinch in style,
In the good small world to be a bright tear trickling.

IN MEMORY OF HER 2008
A demi sonnet
No noise,silence,
the beating of my heart,
alone,with my thoughts;
Without,I see the breeze,
soundless,active,alive,
slowly I awake,arise
to another day
a free form half sonnet
Phantom white,
illuminated by the flight
of the stars across my eyes
bursting power synchronized
with the rising of the moon
chanted in an ancient rune
spoken secretly by slaves
bowing at their master's graves
in the pyramids of pain
where I meet you once again
on your way to someone new......
another soul to worship you.
Many plants are down in number
Creatures too are being slain
Some for sport, others in vain;
There’s destruction of the ozone
And the threat of acid rain.
The great forests are receding
And who’ll ever bring them back?
Man’s gone off the beaten track
At the risk of costly chances,
This mad rush he has to check.
Give life a chance … we have to act at once.
Can’t sit and wait until it is too late.
Give life a chance … we have to act at once.
Hard we must strive to keep this world alive.
Wastes have seeped into the rivers
And been dumped into the sea,
No one seems to heed the plea;
Self-made noose is getting tighter,
To fight back we must agree.
Lucid water lost its sparkle,
Shades of green have changed to grey,
Smoggy air has come to stay
Whilst that beam of healthy sunshine
Has become a deadly ray.
Give life a chance … we have to act at once.
Can’t sit and wait until it is too late.
Give life a chance … we have to act at once.
Hard we must strive to keep this world alive.

DEMI sonnet a TIEN love sequence
Dear one where have you been,I missed you so
Come here, what can I say to make you stay
Why would you go when love is so near
Pray leave the past , your love can fill this void
Come let us dance in step, close up once more
A hug, a kiss, hold me, tell me you're mine
Let us wed,wear my ring, make this heart sing
a TIEN is a ten , one syllable word sentence with no title I derived from Tichborne' s famous elegy.

No noise,silence,
the beating of my heart,
alone,with my thoughts;
Without,I see the breeze,
soundless,active,alive,
slowly I awake,arise
to another day
Come fluttering words,come drifting words to me
A SYMBOL OF LOVE
ah,yes
he loves me still,
such compliments...
these flowers,thrill,
The aroma of love
lingers in his heart
never, now to depart

WATERHOUSE PAINTING the shrine
No noise,silence,
the beating of my heart,
alone,with my thoughts;
Without,I see the breeze,
soundless,active,alive,
slowly I awake,arise
to another day
My faith is part of me,
as is my poetry;
It could not be any other way,
two sides of one coin,I now say;
It's who I really was,you see
hidden,then released,in me
Faith,art & my poetry
DEMI - PARADISE
I love stepping out in the morning, even going to work.
The air is clean and the town is quiet with no traffic.
If the snow’s been falling I don’t see the trash in the murk.
Stillness like dawn in Eden is perfect, almost photographic.
Purity and innocence in the city streets for a moment.
Childlike delight in footprint and fog-breath and star.
A cover of sinlessness for the damned city, city of descent .
Now for a short while it is possible to secretly smile from afar.
A pair of sandals on her feet,
a plaster on her knee,
a dirty little face so cute,
a smile that's just for me,
a little bothered that she is,
well a spider that she saw,
she hold's my hand so tightly,
but still she watches more.
A wonder to behold she is,
her eyes they follow you,
everything you touch and say,
everything you do,
come to me my little one,
sit upon my knee,
and i shall teach you all the world,
the world you are to me,
and when you are grown,
remember the special time,
when nanna played with you,
and your special time was mine.
Someone tell Demi Lovato I'm ready to settle down and marry
Someone tell Demi Lovato, no baggage of hers is too much for me to carry
Someone tell Demi Lovato I'm thinking about life plans with her
You can't blame me for trying to create a chance I don't stand with her
I'm just having fun writing a love letter to my celebrity crush
When she see's how I use the pen she'll know my hands have a Legendary touch
my tongue will provide her a bigger buzz than an ecstasy rush
I love her attitude as well as her Heavenly looks
I really think you should let me take you out one time
I'm shooting my shot but I'm not adding to gun crime
On rainy days, your smile can be my sunshine
What do I need to do for you to become mine?
I'll either be the best you ever have or come as a worthy lesson
I'll give you your best ever thirty seconds
It'll be 34 seconds if we include the foreplay
I know you could have any guy you want, but I'm ready to send my heart your way
Someone tell Demi Lovato I'm ready to settle down and marry
Someone tell Demi Lovato, no baggage of hers is too much for me to carry
Someone tell Demi Lovato I'm thinking about life plans with her
You can't blame me for trying to create a chance I don't stand with her
Demi Moore
An Arsenal football fan for sure
She once was a bill collector
But now she's a doll collector!

Misty as the powder of my soul
The demi-god of legend
Haunts like snakeskin
Wandering my dreams
Igniting my being
Begging for your touch
Smoldering my loneliness
Forever
My faith is part of me,
as is my poetry;
It could not be any other way,
two sides of one coin,I now say;
It's who I really was,you see
hidden,then released,in me
Faith,and my poetry
