I Feel No Billow

I FEEL NO BILLOW:

Obvious smile covering enormous of feelings.
Shadows on the wall tells 'bout what could be happening.
Self-isolation mobilised for a painstaking decision.
Children of destitute parents on gruesome mission;
Fantasies and fallacies boosting men for filching,
Selling souls for vainglories all of a sudden.
I'm clinged to a belligerence as proud cudden,
My hope, my goals really strictened and

Callow Billow

Hollow as a crooked pipe conducting waste to the corroded sewer

Vacant and obscure like a Freudian void on a cold lavatory seat

Hollow as a piper’s flute waiting for nimble charming fingers

Vacant like a comatose stare reflecting mindless nothingness


Shallow as a muddy puddle pummelled by boots from wet feet

Superficial like a scratch on a bubble conceding

Branches Would Billow

Saw weeping trees which were willow;
Wind blew and  branches would billow;
Gently done,
In the sun,
While I had been resting on my pillow.

Thunderous Billow

Thunderous billow
Dark clouds swiften much beyond
Heart is gust-wind plucked

As They Billow

Soft cool rains fall clear-crystal and alabaster sands are patiently... broken down, by
the merry hands of the wind...

The Sun rises, falls, Mother Earth and Moon, all the planets revolve around, enchanted

grace... delights... .


Wild horses run boldly as-one across gentle, vibrantly swaying fragrant-meadows joyous

Billow the Sails!

Aye and it’d be “Land Ho”, ya lazy landlubbers!
It’s where ya’d be if ya’d had yer druthers,
Braggin’ the seven seas and swiggin’ pints of ale, 
Chasin’ maidens and wishin’ on a mermaid tail!
Look sharp! Turn to! heave ho! All hands on deck,
Er I’ll have hemp stretchin’ round yer neck!
Thars work at be done afore ya

Dancing Billow

"Finally, I let it go...
But it had claw marks all over it."
The way I felt, 
The way I reasoned,
Even the way I talked changed.
As my years demanded it,
I knew.  I understood.
I saw face to face
What was in part had to part.
So, reluctantly I put it away,
Except for in faith and malice.
Now I'm nostalgic.
