I had been placed in chains 
Where the cripples shed their canes 
And the blind regained the art of seeing.
It was a robbers’ den 
And as all God fearing men, 
I had assets needed freeing.

Clouds curl
around the moon
as if trying to seize it
and their hanging low in the air,
seeming to almost

    the ground
almost sponge like

Oh so enduringly and oh so endearingly

Aimlessly acknowledging the amazing anxieties and admiring them from...

SMOKERS CAUTIONARY TALE

I weave a poem of the cigarette's trail.
A tale of danger lurking in the ember's glow,

From hunting hums
All bright stars
Near and far
In New York or Trafalgar 
Those stars in skyscrapers
Those dazzling gold vapours
The government shapers
The controller of all papers
All go on hunting 
And keep counting
And...

Things look differently in hindsight
Objects, ideas, and people can take on a life of their own
What once existed serenely now rears up on its scaly haunches
Breathing a most fowl and unpleasant exhalation

In the orchard of opalescence
magnificent myriads of mellows
fervently flow in fountains
breathing beguile blossoms
a forgotten fable ferments,

With bolt-upright attention, his breath held in suspension,
He sat in self-detention on the bed.
