Wondering how that Serpent knew of the...

A seaplane trip to an island just east of Haiti
I had in my life a model of unmatched beauty
She was...

(Chorus)
These days
Difficult to explain
It's not charades
Been truly feeling strange
Close and far from grass blades
Seeking a way out the maze
Not sure if my soul can be saved
Or if I'll burn in flames
(Chorus)

(Verse 1)
Hearts of gold

There was pity for one second for the victim in this case,
when 'Hilly', 'Bee' and me were walking to our drinking place.
We were slobbering in thought for what keeps us all afloat, 
then 'Hilly's' eyes...

Then, he knew why he must hew
old memories from marble- 
emotions quarried from heart's slew- 
Oblique fight with his faith's garble

Cut block unfolds Christ, enthroned
on mother's lap- death sleep supine...
Sculptor's concepts cast in stone,
art wrestles...

Form: rhyming couplets

Sandy tracks, still and dormant, lie await for us,
Virgin sands of Malvan beach, its breeze my body salty caress.

Through the grooves of coconut palms swaying tall,

The deftly fashioned phrases I had planned,
now tumble into mismatched tiles

before stress in our lives, caused us to brew.

When survival meant eating dino doo doo and
grunting was the language everyone knew.

As time went by, certain gestures arose,

Their faces are still there;
caricatures and cameos,
amigo mugs and jug ears.
Cheering, jeering chums
that would phone at four in the morning
to garble drunken thoughts,
make momentous plans,
or borrow ten quid.
The oddball humorist
and part-time suicide,
the drama queen
contesting her...

That you can endure.

Wiggling wearing...

War!
When will there be Peace?
That is a question we dare not ask
Of governments both present or past
For surely they will think us disloyal
If we do not agree with their garble
To keep sending our troops to...

You do not live in a fable.
You know drugs do deceive 
The lies they weave
Make life very uncomfortable.

Nearly ending every yearlings dwindling 
Found above ground without Mona Lisa's lungs.
