And told Mrs Claus "I'm feeling ill, what...

"Symposium"



where do you go 
when you try to 
dream your place

in my life 

gone now 
from your 
quicksand shores

once I rolled over

"Super Hero"



Krypto Knighted
Disrobed Le Penseur 
contemplates strength
a royal monk disrobing within
Rodin begins to think
new dreams dialled in
naked vulnerability begins
hiding behind dark angel wings
pinned between the box-cadged 
dimensions of a glass onion
black crows waiting along the...

But Stan’s not warm enough for those.

THE PSYCHEDELIC STEW 
 
We loved to drive out through the hills 
Where landscapes are so green, 
And always sought the smell of hay 
That seemed so fresh and clean.

Tom’s the longest-serving member, 
Of the British para-rowing squad, 
Because whilst at a party, thunder, 
He fell, slipped with all his quad. 

He played rugby for Warwick Uni, 
Because he lived for, loved sport,
But Coventry’s...

BLACK PURPLE 

Just one dialled and received call
Two hearts connected through a good network 
From one single kiss; they stopped being single 
Good timing made way for good scenes; censored
Walls failed to keep the secret...

I snook up to the window
Light was lit inside
Trying to make myself invisible
Against the wall I pressed my side

I shuffled along inch  by inch
was just about to peak
When i heard someone in the room
Raised voices...

Return of The Piper



The skirl of the pipes is carried on the wind
Purple heather moves in time with the sound
Dark clouds move in and cover the sky
His sanctuary the piper has found

Amid the deep lochs...

PARABLE IN AN ODE.

My muse guides me to compose,
A Parable in an Ode.....
Once was driving on sodden roads,
Automobile went into overload,
Smoke emissions from transmission,
To car jam  I did not give permission,
Dialled Roadside assist on...

Gasps of horror were heard when his body was discovered
Limply hanging from the rafters of...

I finally took a bath
   this morning
After all day yesterday
   Sunday
With the taste of you
   still on my mouth,
The scent of you in all
   the rooms
