What You Are, What You Mean To Me...

Of landowners, stockbrokers, 
Hereditary Peers, and ruddy faced 
Squires:
A vast multitude of many varied 
Tribes.
Amassing in the great cities, where,
Inhabiting shadowy chambers, 
Behind nodding sighs and hushed 
Whispers, 
The Masonic...

Under frowning protestations from the
Sheltered Lee;
Into the cloaked shadows lain across the 
Cobbled courtyard,
Behind which squats the twisted form of
The old brooding, arthritic apple tree.
Past the neat little cow-byre 
Hosed...

And, we also have power with.
Cooperative power.

In game theory,
these are WinLose political strategies

She was born on Halloween.

Feral siblings abandoned at my door.
I took the whole litter to the SPCA.
They neutered and spayed them all for me.

Penelope’s in a hopeless quandary, backed into a corner.
She enjoyed the flirt of youth. Had no one warned her?
She rejected freedom of reflection. ‘Who’s she? ...not a saint.’

The Rebellious Man




If love was meant to be
Dare he stand before his own soul
And deny it

Will he risk his broken heart

Should he turn aside from the path of breaking
And the making of destiny
Call fate in...

Exploding Windmills

So fragile in its equestrian gait
The tippy toe of stealth
Loves to tread so softly
Behind 
In tennis shoes
With velvet claws

Dreamers are destroyed
By fact

These prison smiles
With tiles of teeth
Deride the childish fantasy
Bludgeon at un-illuminated reality
Just to...

Allowing awfully awkward arguments to arise
Self-doubt secludes, so sequestered, sadly... sans surprise
Madly muttering melancholy mottos
 Odius, obtuse obligation on auto
Deftly denying deteriorating destruction
Somehow sickly surrendering Soul's suction
Humbly hemming-n-hawing, half-assed heretic
 Dejected densely dimwitted dumb ass...

Inside me shrieking like a banshee,
dark shadows hold an accursed grin;
Old wounds are licked fastidiously;

Always wreaking havoc painfully,
squirming below my butter soft skin;
Inside me shrieking like a banshee; 

My darkest demons they run madly
