Lawrence a Finale
Lawrence of Neasden, Man of action in the past, Reflected with dismay How life had moved so fast. So many years gone now Since they’d gone to war And Lawrence no longer Rode his camel anymore. It’s ashes rested in an urn On the mantle shelf Alongside its photo and Those of Lawrence himself, All dressed in style In their combat gear With others of the Corps All paraded...

Lawrence of Neasden, Stood Down
They called him Lawrence of Neasden And he dressed in Khaki shorts And he always rode a camel Which he kept in his car port They arrived there in Central Neasden Having ridden all through the night To arrive with the breaking dawn In a throat constricting sight. Silently they rode, apart From the harness jingle, An eerie sort of sound That made nerves...

Lawrence, Part the Second, On Alert
He’s been listening to the news, All up to date about I-raq, His kit has been laid out Sorted and ready to pack. The camel’s on combat rations So its mood is just a little mean But it’s a trim and fit and ready Desert transport machine. He sleeps out in the garden In an army surplus tent It may be second hand but Its money...

Lawrence, a Modern Saga, Part the First
They called him Lawrence of Neasden And he dressed in Khaki shorts And he always rode a camel Which he kept in his car port Oblivious to the glances Of the people passing by He solemnly rode his mount And he always wore a tie He knew he had a mission Was ready for the call Though quite what it was He’d really no...

‘Sweat of life’; opening words of candour Ushering a magic show to follow She burst forth in delight, of love fervour Adoring oneness, within heart mellow Name of the poem, ‘elevating heart’ Laying low, she has posted six so far ‘And cupping my heart gently’ Gods love starts We behold her divine play from afar Resonation with euphoria clear Enlivened by the throb of...
