I water the garden flowers
In the early morning glare
They bloom brighter after hours
Later, in the fresher air
In the coolness of the evening
Flowers smell more vividly
Their scent reminds of feeling
That you are here, close to me
We’re just sitting biding time
Till it gets too cold to sit
Faces blur, and shades entwine
There’s no ground beneath our feet..
Would you mind if I won’t talk
About what to do
Better sit, relax or walk
Silently subdue
To the sweetness of the day
With the promised rain
That forgot to fall today
Though the sky was grey
The roadworks spread happy noise
The smell lingers far
Tips me gently there’s no choice
I can’t book a car
Get the plane and swiftly fly
That familiar route
Just to see if I can buy
Some of earth to root
You would offer me a bed
Your diatic food
We would share, as you said
It could be so good
But it went the other way
You have found your peace
I don’t know what more to say
When I’m saying this..
ELEGY TO AN ADDICT
To love a pill,
is this life today?
Popping up happiness,
downing it away.
God in a needle,
lift yourself higher.
Killing the seed
of sexual desires.
Dear, Mary Jane,
where have you been?
Couldn't fine ya,
now, I'm stuck on heroin.
How in the hell
did I get in this fix?
Heroin for breakfast,
heroin for kicks.
All the pills
have drifted away.
The needle's more
of my life today.
When I die there will be no stone or grave
Look at my art, read a poem, be brave
Do not worry about me, I will be recycled soon
I am in the stars, the air, the trees, breeze and the moon.
Dying is the beginning of our real life.
I will be free to zoom and dance and have no strife.
When I go, know I will be watching you forever more.
For I am your mama, and you I do adore.

Heroin took my life away.
churchyard hold bones buried from his days,
church register has records of their names,
yew trees shade the yard to shield them from rains,
near St.Giles church lies buried Thomas Gray,
buried next his mother, aunt hold him close,
hamlet Stoke Poges where he used to pray,
Elegy he wrote grieving his dear friend,
epitaphs erased, know not what they say,
how fire of a great poet time tames!
to shield them from rains, yew trees shade the yard,
to pay him homage I stopped on the way!
