did nothing to purge bitter bile from my lips
nor slake the smoldering thirst for a Rosary remedy.
Tick-tock petals unfurled one by one
as your poppy shed its last sepal 
releasing a scarlet sigh across sunset skies
whilst I placed a tender kiss upon your twilight....

Wear the mask
Graffiti tunnel
Windy inside
Worse above

Spray paint tired

Isolated crowd
Echoed shroud

Is love all that old poets say?
Does it shake the earth 
like a great earthquake?
Is love really like a starry sky,

Sham the Leprechaun
Sham the leprechaun went to a pub
For some tasty St Patrick's Day grub
Then danced jigs fantastic
Quite enthusiastic 
Did the splits, stuck like it, there's the rub.

Deceitful lunatic fervent merchandise
Exist by ignorant foolish hypocrites lies
Retrieve the life by poisoned venom nymph
Spoke a sand of beach waiting the sea to take

Glad to be wicked at behind, hold it in a hand
Giggling inside, cry loud hard so one will see
Play an act of...

They say the virus does not exist. Why?
our leaders politicize its mortality
profiteers make it a minted and crispy business
rumour mongers carry myths of it across the Nile
and the poor are to isolate at home in the safety of hunger and taste!

This shadow that I see with my back turned to the sun. 
He represents me without fault and does not show my thinning hair 
or blemish on my skin that's there, or any hidden thing,
or any other secret thing that's hiding deep within.
My shadow is...

 as the first is a sham and the latter, 
a sincere "I am."
