“Strange Ways, Here We Come”




the devil’s advocate
came waltzing 
through my doors

“I had no choice”
the supercilious harbinger said,
“to intervene, to parlay away

not the criminal recidivist
nor usurping interloper
and their profound lies

never wore tooled leather belts, much...

You made me feel like I’m judgmental
You treated me like I was mental
It took a toll on my mind and soul

For not...

Relax, count my breath up to 4
Recall how Jesus chilled on His cross
Pinned like a cool butterfly
Hung like a shroud on the line

The nails betwixt ulna and radius divine

A change is coming here!
It will be announced when. 
As of this moment, dear!
It's a chance for you to stop

I know this lovely poet,
Her name is Ann Gilmour 
She really is an angel,
One that I adore.

That Shania Twain
Drives me insane
She croons out the songs, “In my Car”…..
My glorified feminist is “SHE”

The ferocious female hunter
She knows when to be feminine
“Man! I Feel like a Woman!” is what gets her prey
Oh, Shania,...

What do you say that we take a break 
From all of our old routines,

She stood in thrall to the Magyar
As, one hand cupped to a breast,
The other picked careful notes 
From the guitar against his chest,
So they made a living figure
Sensuous and statuesque
Yet in in its way 
Both...

An Aussie Bush Pee

Now! Have you ever tried to have a pee?

The same reason I cried, I died inside.
Imagine the life I live without feeling, I feel the emptiness.
You filled me up, drew a smile in my heart though you never loved me, No we...

As I lay upon the floor
Hubby at the bedroom door
Ready and steady
What girl could ask for more
A smile upon his face
A twinkle in his eye
Jogging on the spot
A shy man he is not
Preparing his pace

We ran through shy-scraper's maze 
Amazed at how they set our pace
Trapped by lack of  space
We butted heads through small door frames
All part of our frantic paper chase to escape the rat race
