Long Drakes Poems

Without form and void, 
The world gave a lunatic gaze. 
Lack of luminous light love bought,

Fiddles 
and 
suffuses 
our 
flaccid 
corn.
Let 
it 
rain 
on 
the 
paddocks 
of 
the 
lakes;
On...

You say my secrets are safe
I wish to be set free
Yet...

imagined reawakening the exemplars who campaigns
their coalescing.

Prayer resurrecting
unkept promises that fault mistiness veils of affections 
deeply confessed.

Sweetly progressed
a sinless tinkering of ifs and or buts, realizing an
overdue quietus.

Deja vu changes us,
with sweeping preparations...

I enjoyed wrapping my mind around his words
Stretching my thinking
At times coming unglued
Reaching towards oblivion
While keeping my feet in multiple worlds
Standing on sinking ground  
While leaning on granites precious solidity

The substance of imaginations inconsistencies
Tugging...

Down the steps I go
I pass the food stalls 
All in a row

Beside the Cathedral
In its garden green
A beautiful sight
There to be seen 

Down at borough market

For my personal use, it was only mine.

A generous portion, it seemed I got.
I wasted so much, I poured out a lot.

Exchanged for things, not a bargain in...

When faith in mankind is gone,
What faith then belongs?

To lay around, swim and play.

With that warm summer's breeze,

or Orangutans from the Borneo forests,

Emerges out when proper time turns up
Those passions retain in the registry
Dormant and suppressed their identity.

Spirits elate when I find them...

upon the fields and plains that fore were cold.
Renewing life for trees and kind with grace,
her sway turns winter scenes to days of gold.

could turn the flaws of life into its merits
like water into wine. As though breath
