Highland Lassie
Inspired by the painting "Highland Lassie" (1871) by Thomas Faed.
(Verse One; In introduction to Cailin)
Walkin' on the highways, searchin' down the byways,
Tromps a lonely figure on the Highland roads;
Peerin' from the Highdown, breezin' through the...

Let’s sail away to Acapella,
A celebrity haunt owned by Penn and Teller.
I shall act as your prince, you’ll be Cinderella
When we’re sat on a beach in Acapella.
It’s not as sexy as Cannes or as dowdy...

That this filly is just frilly and silly,
For I am a thorough bred filly who instead
Of eating just oats, for my owner dotes
On me,...

Steady Steward : Time
Charismatic Zoe consistently bears tendancy
of softening strangers into friends
Perhaps resulting from her relocating frequency
Her familiarity with 'all sorts' hones empathy
Inspires trust, apprehension suspends
Fresh town primed to garner aquaintence
In the year charming Zoe turns thirty...

The Fifties Were Really and Truly Not All That Square

Though that dullard Dwight D. sat in the Executive Chair
And his frumpy wife Mamie had really bad hair
Matching those dowdy, plain dresses she'd wear ...

Main Drag Pubs
Weekly this sorry procession
rolls out a parade of wannabe
kings and queens,
heirs unapparent to the realms of nothingness.
Girls with elaborate hairdos,
boys drenched in cheap cologne;
drawn to the main drag pubs,
solitary ventilators of the monochrome kingdom.
Factory gates...

Always the Fool
Perusing the tomes of esoterica,
One truth I've learnt indeed,
Not one book contains it all.
There's always more to read.
Axiom mixed with allegory,
Abstract salt and misty sulphur.
Is this that famous alchemy?
I'll find the quintessence myself.
I wonder will...

So he built Trump Tower which is a castle
And of does deliberately seem to be proud
Can always be seen standing out in a crowd.

Comeuppance
Like a frowsy, dowdy
old housewife
I sit largely
unnoticed
stout and squat
a sort of kitchen sentry
rarely appreciated
until some minor crisis-
Cough, sniffle, stomachache
a particularly bad day
or fancy party...
then things heat up
quickly for me!
This was one of those
fancy party days
no...

Absolute Freedom
Meditation in quietude, cognition spherical instils
Transcending limitations of time, space, power, knowledge, will
Oh hermit, in the void of polarity interchange, be still

Resting all thought in void of cessation
Imbibing by soft...

Oil In the Water
She's oil in the water, that refuses to blend
With a hair tie on her wrist, embracing the wind
Pleasantly dowdy, breaking rules out of spite
Above laws and limitations. She knows when she's right
Don't go...

Nightwind
Pale the Sun's radiant beams turn to Night
As the Darkness surrenders Light
Whispers of frail winds breathe on my skin
Tears of love I shed within
Solemn, still as shadows fall
Fingers of Darkness cloaks all
But comforting I keep...

Lost
While driving through an unfamiliar place,
It felt like I was lost without a trace.
My journey's end appeared so out of reach,
A barrier I couldn't seem to breach.
I happened through a seedy side of town,
An area...

Grass
Grass
A Man of discernment the grass he gazes
With invariable appetite as a cow that grazes;
Grass in plains meanders with admiration,
And up the hills in its converse undulation-
He’s green, not with envy, but admiration!

A Little Light To Shine
In the shallow mist of morning
On a dim and dowdy street
A child with a hunger
Has a moldy bite to eat
A dirty-double dumpster
Is a desperate dive indeed
For a sad and sorry youngster
With an empty place to...

Collecting your feelings on a lonely altar
And were joined under our God above
Forever still, I pray your love not falter
Grinding in the great wheels of time
You shoved off on a...

My Last Moment With Daddy
I looked past the priest and saw auntie and grandma.
They were cuddled, holding each other up.
Grandma being Catholic was wearing her purple scarf.
Even though Daddy’s funeral was outside, a priest was here.
Auntie Maria was holding...
