Long Gentility Poems

Drain away the pain that I feel
Drain away the rain that’s real 
Frozen in fire of your desire
Stay a while longer and admire
The healing rain that drains away the pain,
Nourishing the grains of His fruitful...

To you, I speak words of wisdom
And it feels like I’m a million miles away
Just to feel isolated...

“liaison dangereuse”



Tear a thin line 
along my skin
softly velvet
finger tips 
no nurses gloves

gentility heard
soft as a block of butter
hard from the fridge

" You saw my tomorrow, seated on your yesterday's laps,
Dirty-duty rusty and arrogance humming,

of passion 
resides at chamber,
felt within the door.

And in the mid 1960s,
Served as one of the great centres 
Of the London Mod movement,
