How you moved through me like music
that’s filled with the glow of limelight.
You shared the secrets of your trick,
how you moved through me like music.
Expert hands that know when to pick,
thin notes lie in a chord that’s tight.
How you moved through me like music
that’s filled with the glow of limelight.
he grew a conscience and no longer stares ~ now she asks if he don’t care
so he peeps through her keyhole just to be fair ~ human nature’s laid bare

Pas de deux of hearts;
Reaching for her hand
he bows with such grace;
An enthralled smile asks
‘May I have this dance?’
Dressed to mingle,
to twist and shout;
Balanced breathing,
a profound pulse;
Heat rises
with a touch
on her back,
Just one
finger
slides.
I Sharpen the Blade of the Spirit, Sun Born by the Fire
I AM Solar Rexus, the Soul Grail Quantifier
Ascending Skyward the Fruits are Prolific
Wings Wide, Light is the Religion
A Blazing Crown, I'm the Empyreal Genesis
Rexque Futurus, The Ethereal Legend
You've seen the sunlight
now you mask your pride
Friends tell you where to go
Keep on a straight line
peaceful shades of green
strides past you
There's a commuter strip demur
back to cover hes read his Daily Mail
the burglued fox languishes
Making sense of the passing years
Lost in a wherewithal
Is it time to change ?
to purify your soul
or cry to the wind?
To the artists and inventors to come,
my generation was so rebellious.
We tried to instill that fraction of us,
feelings now are seen as so bothersome;
Although human emotions are gruesome
at times they can make us so glorious;
'Dream with everything you have.' Exodus!
Why are you so content with living numb?
If you only remember this one thing,
fly racing clouds continually dream.
Without a box you will never be wrong,
let your wheels spin never stop questioning;
With courage move fast go to the extreme,
carpe diem will keep your heartbeat strong.
Pale daughters
don't stoke the familial fireside
they wait patiently for the darkness
toting their time
They are not the ones
to hang around freckles smiles
instead they tell quaint jokes
Children call them defilment
their painted smiles tell a different story
lying in bed with their spectacles on.
hoardings of shops on the isle of ridiculousness
the feral pigeons pontificate
the leaking roof of the civic theatre stays
you've seen better days
you've blundered into desperation
bankrupted twice
and now you're turning the middle
of town into millionaires row
ill afforded by the minions
even our local Market is shrinking
an ebb tide of the municipality
Westfield as vexing as a fox in chase
The Central library feels lobotomised
is it part privatised?
Don't grab a hot pan with your hand, from the form the oven!
It's painful.
Don't roller skate in a Hurricane?
Are Ya crazy?
Don't linger by tall buildings, in an earthquake.
It's fatal.
If you ride on a burrow might land on a cactus.
Your jazz will be Achin.
Don't eat a loaf of avocado toast and two stacks of bacon.
That's constipation may ruin your vacation.
Never refer to her as your old lady.
She'll punch you in the nose.
your eyes will swell closed.
Feel like you reside in Hades!
Lonesome breeze
on the wrong track
wont my babe come back
Ole Railway on a smouldering tack
Maybe she's on the wrong train
When is she coming back
What am I to do
with my chagrin baby
aloft in the mayfair air

In the delightful dancing
turns the gentleman in wiggles
making the lady slides
at the ball
magnificent
pas de deux!
ensemble !
Now at an advanced crotchety age
namely three score plus one Earth
orbitz around the nearest star,
yours truly revisits
poignant episodes foisting
launching snapchatting
one after another crisis
sidelining ability to cope
pursuing life, liberty
and pursuit of happiness
whiz hard by at light speed.
Though just a kid during third industrial revolution,
I remember feeling lost in space (age) and agog
at being on the cusp, when infrastructure
(regarding blueprint describing
information superhighway,
technological/computer transformation
would when soon after graduating
Methacton high school
(mine alma mater)
quickly usher The Fourth Industrial Revolution
a way of describing the blurring of boundaries
between the physical, digital, and biological worlds,
a fusion of advances in artificial intelligence (AI),
robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), 3D printing,
genetic engineering, quantum computing,
and other technologies.
Stomped by intruding and invasive breed,
Foul footprint of this year is a misdeed -
Two weighty boots with heavy tread
Stirred quite a lot of dirt and dread.
COVID and DONALD just will not concede!

bank not integrity on a man in penury's bed
for he'd borrow quaking qualities penury lends
if wanky wealth wakes him hither,
rustic rhymes of his attributes is better
give not what you scarcely have
nocturnal nature weeps over hampered halves
love by meagre mind, clasp caution's crest
when love outruns wielded wits, there's moaning mess
sometimes, lanky loves loans you to sassy sky
at felon fall, he's merging massive mile
matchmakers and takers are bruised baits
only a gullible giver makes munchy name
all-times, it pays being a felon fool
than a callous clown in numbed name of "dupe".
