It has been this way
Since the beginning....

In the avenues of thought you stirred up ripples 
And waves, and raised all the dust that had settled 
On everything that sat within the circumference

A tale of two cities

At age thirty-one my calling was revealed
Got bitten by a rare deadly bug

to tell the tale of...

Deal with things better than before
There will be breakers there will be hurdles
Be worried but never a hopeless

You could be the moon
Which shines in their own ways

In a back street of the town.

I’d been drinking with this bird,
Said she was an exotic dancer\
But the way she was supping
I thought...

Hawkeye pride burns bright in Iowa City,
the place where Tennessee Williams learned to curse.

Tonight I stayed at work until 7:00.
It was dark when I locked the front doors.
Winter approaches again, soon the great coat
huddled like a rug around me. The streets

Clerk to the council for all of his days
Lived with his mother in Hartington D'Arcy
Nice little end terrace, quite set in his ways

Messed up room and untouched books ariled by dust,
Branded cards specially bought
To bring out yips,
Last year’s Questions
Cut-short by hazards,
Next day’s paper
To prove the intellectuality in us.

Gambling with the Joker for few hours,

take turns to put burns on you without slumber.
Observed true colours

from other mothers

His wounded victim flees
Those with soul and feelings flee

Scream to high heaven
Yet mugged,...
