Written in summer of 1976.


I used to eat my lunch with groups
of businessmen from Campbell Soups.

We drank a drink at lunch each day
Of Coca-Cola mixed with hay

And talked of pending corporate plans
And willow-haired orangutans.

I spent...

Drain away the pain that I feel
Drain away the rain that’s real

Nourishing the grains of His fruitful...

Once upon a nightime grim

just "me."

This collective nightmare thunderously rolled out

Earth is insufficient for our needs!

We live in Closed Systems of immunity,
heading toward decay!

Along the road called forestry, the silver ash weeps over me
as I meander 'round the dell and glade.
Pass scars of sand pits long disused, where gullies, washes speak ‘abused!’
Reclamation offers now a new facade.

I was an experienced astronomer, with bright eyes ever turned to the stars,
As the mysterious, intelligent aliens, might in their turn, be looking to ours.

Space had always held fascination for me, with wonders of worlds...

Another body dropped as the evil ran through the night 
He was on a spree to start a war 
The screams blistered the silence 
As the metal hit the floor, 
As the metal hit the...

Out 
of the darkness

star-lanterns’ beam finds an awakening dream - 
a strewn snowy stream 
gracing the depths of the black swan night


Earthbound

from the realm of the pulsing Polaris 
   ..traveling through time zones...

Continued from Part 1
Ah Consuela! I’m watching the vertigo veiling her green Spanish eyes,
while the drumbeat pounds, droning, the rhythm sounds, moaning,
                 of jungles Jamaican entwined
in the valleys concealing the vineyards revealing
                 the vaults in...

I would be just like him, wait and see.

Tutors and servants all took care of me.

Now Tomas was a servant father had freed,

Sweet Angel Jessica

Sonnetta the Witch



She lived far away from the village below
Deep in the woods, high up in the sky
Where mountain mists flutter on by
She was an old skinny lady of a...

I.

I had the son for a sacrifice
Proffered in faith and joined to love
My covenant with him is eternal, sealed by his blood
And his fire consumes what he pleases
Though the waters be deep as the abyss,

A hundred silent kisses thousands of miles apart led us into victory.
A batch of red-painted roses, hold them close to hide...

To the right,
where God's light had shone bright,
Warrior Queen,
know your beast is come,

like an oasis after travelling through the Sahara so parched
with thirst threatening to take my life for good.

Though death’s bony palm...

Her bark is worse than her bite
But what they didn't know

Suddenly she changed before their eyes
The abusers stopped and stared
She had finally had...
