And drive...

His gold teeth glistened in the sun
As ‘Long Ben Avery’ turned
To face his captives, head lowered,

Captained a mutiny

He seized...

Even where moons twinkle in

Passing moments the only
Picture hanging in this corridor is
One blank captioned “Silence”

I am a Great-Grandmother
My Tee shirt tells me so
I only wear this shirt to bed
As I do not want others to know.

If I wore it out of doors
I think it would look pretentious
Some folk know...

It is the ultimate in Irony,
And it is everything short of funny,
As people give up the chance of honest money,
To sour streets to the point where they are no longer sunny.

Risking friendships,
Working relationships,
Breaking up partnerships,

Fate mastered me, captained my soul
And Ruby took her love to town.
I rage amid the noise and haste,
but I dont let it get me down.

My mind, it is not a kingdom.
My 'Hope’ plucked all its...

They flew the skull and cross bones
Up high above the deck.
Pirates on the open sea
They had treasures to collect.
One man from the crows nest
Kept a vigil from on high.

When hearts are broken,
They travel to the land of sadness
By ships of sorrow,
They sail through  oceans of tears.
Captained by solitude,
They go through raging storm of unsettledness

Broken hearts go deep,
Into trenches of pain.
Intoxicated by grief,...
