What happened to my sex drive?

(sung – in a round pussy willow warble - to the tune of -- 
Oh Where Oh Where has my little dog gone).

Once pronounced libido of mine 
took kamikaze nose...

meet me on high in limpid luminescent sky
from whence you’ll catch my twigs perhaps

This poem is dedicated to the one I love

Today I walk a million miles.
I walked a million miles,
I hump this ruck all day
I hear the small bing and ding as the straps begin sway
the sound...

The grandstand is gelid by a sharp wintry breeze
Carried off from the field are the last of dead leaves
The shrill of the whistle, muffled calls from the crowd
From the tunnel stampede, metal studs echo loud.

I started this year with a bid to get fit and healthy
Loosing at least a stone -that to me is wealthy
So, to a gym, swimming pool or zumba
..do I lumber
Absolutely NOT - let’s be radical...

Eight authors were killed today,
some of them, somewhat prominent,
and an unknown number were injured,
when a very large crowd of words
came rushing toward them, and 
crushed them under the throng

Hundreds of onlooking readers were aghast
at the...

Silent waters always are said to run deep;
And looks often end up in deception
As  venturesome finds do in exception
Bring forth reward to cherish and keep 

A trekking crew found on an desolate hill
An odd...

Dodging one here, dodging one there,
Riding along without a care.
    Three in a row, which way do I go,
I close my eyes and curse the so and so.
    Oh!...

Your memories perplex a confused mind.
A vast sea-like water spout erupts behind.
I morphed into what you were enduring.
We are once again being left in the wind.

Scars were tickled with scent of spring.
Tulip gardens and vivid...

I scream for your pain
I scream for your gain
I scream to go back
to just being alright again
vanity spread out coast to coast
the ones I trust always gave so much
of what I needed most, companion

SPUN FUN 

I wonder about nonsense and things that are askew,
Like, if you strangled a Smurff would it's face turn Blue?
And is Rudolf's nose really as bright red as they say?
I mean, would you recognise...

The other day I saw the most pathetic thing I think I shall ever see!
It was so macabre and shocking that it piqued my curiosity!

Seems this old miser died having atoned for his many transgressions,
But...

Waking up not knowing what to expect.
Living day by day and paycheck to paycheck.
Will today be the day that I leave my family again.
The prayers will go out followed with an amen.

here I go again
on a belt fed groove,

suck it up
ruck it up,

legion on the move,

all the things we used to have
all too soon are gone,

wave goodbye
eyes gone dry,

another trek through foreign dawn.....

see the henna hidden...

REJECTED

The light is thinning.
A ragged man struggles
to carry an unboxed
large plasma screen.

He is walking it home,
he has no home
still, he is walking it,
but now it's raining
the TV becomes
a slippery umbrella.

There is so little light to...

It was a day of chaos
The day the pensioners struck,
Massed Mobility Scooters moving
Forward like a Rugby Union ruck, 
Blocking all the streets
In the centre of town,
To all intents and purposes
Closing the city down.
The police were...

Beneath the clouds, I sat down,
stacks of thoughts in my mind, I found.
None besides me, in a pensive mood,
even trees in howling breeze, firm they stood.
	
A flying dry leaf, but, on my face it stuck,

If nobody knew the meaning of ball,
Air in a bladder of skin, 
If nobody knew the sound on the ground,
The turn or the lift or the spin,

Then people wouldn't walk the green back and forth,
Wouldn't...
