Hilda my partner turned in her bed as the early morning train hurtled by at breakneck speed sending tremors round our dwelling.
Those long flowing tresses embrace the shafts of first light so enthusiastically.
An otherworldly spot...

In cafe, on the table ready for dine
With glasses filled already with wine
I sat on chair and Hilda opposite mine
From window beside her, moon shed some shine
The day stood long to finish pending work in...

You squealed with six-year-old delight as I wriggled from Hilda’s belly. 
I was a runt, the first of five pups who, with our eyes closed, all squirmed for lunch at the same time.

You screamed with...

Twas the night of the Ladies League Final and the atmosphere was tense
Only two teams were competing, no loyalties allowed on the fence
There could only be one winner, the team with strongest will

Four years ago today
9/11 rang in our ears
Our Nation still cries a river
Into a sea of tears

She was the sparkle at the heart of it
The love we all shared
I don’t remember a day that passed by,

I met a group of people,
Who I never knew,
Are the cruelest in God's country,
For what they do,

Sweet,
bitter,
or in between.
Maybe a little of both.
Jeckle and hyde,

fixed, 
on older women
above age...

timing is everything
time now to say it,
had 11, 77, and 175
had what you had,

what you did

still, no matter
self-destiny is
inherent in us all,
most apparent...

No more ghostly figures
No more skeletal tangle
No more ice with her
No more pain in the ankle

Children of the sunshine
Buildings smiling with the scent
Hands of yours and mine
Into the breeze they went

In the strawberry shade
Liberally birds...

The troll was delighted when a wrinkled up crone wandered in.
She had an unassuming air about her, and a giant wart upon her chin.
I can pop her in my oven he thought; I bet her...

Before I'm another day older, 
I'm gonna get shot in the shoulder. 
In movies and shows, 
the protagonist knows, 
it's how to get Hilda and hold her.

Kicked out of a theater for the twenty-sixth time,
the owner suggested to the highest building in town they should climb.

Their act was considered both putrid and effete.

Meet the happy couple
That's Hilda all in white

Loves her with all his might
