The Lay of The Best Man - Part One

So jealous and so envious, I’ve seen men ….sad
Twisted, fuming with anger, and consumed with rage
Callous and cruel...

I wanted a quiet evening, away from Proto
To order a pizza with loads of ricotta,
And write a poem, with not one interruption,
Savoring a glass of wine, without disruption.
Sounds perfect to me said a voice, let...

Holding a bunch of blue sky 
Have been inspiring me lifelong
To seek rhyme and song
In turbulence  
A Buddha like balance

Then you, the sceptic 
Always asking 
'What is your view?'
Almost like Socrates
Never...

Barefoot on the paving slab chill, concrete
feet feel frostbite emanations in their callused souls;
rooftop mystique clamours silent slate triangles,
perched the stray cat observers, red-eyes smoking coals.
Down to the river's edge where swaying reeds

Hey you, dear reader!
You over there
immersed in this fairy world
lost in this wonderland!

from the traced way
without a cause?
Won't you crave to have a...

Still traveling through space
It's not falling into place
Tripped over my shoelace
Wound up with a bruised face

A big brown shire horse

It was a steed for my action figures
A target for my toy...

I dained that I'd distress the Dutch,
Refrain the French with such - and - such.
'Gainst Germans I'd my victory forge,
Churchillian chants in Cheddar Gorge.

Send Poles packing from our building site,
Put the Belgians - bang -...

I am not from the 'show me state' of Missouri, but I should have been.

I believe in 'being shown' and not...

Fill it with as many stars as you can

I’m learning to love pink
In bowls;
And boys and girls.

For my bedroom wall

Nothing prepares a heart for the first glance,
None other than the heart of a lover seeing another,
No verse can contain the chemistry exchanged
Between the two hearts brought by chance.

No raging war can fight off the...

Slowly, silently now the moon
Shines in her silvery shoon

Little girl talking to sceptic

'Little girl why do you believe? ',
asked a man who would soon again leave,

“All war is a deception”

The day was chilly and dark
Low clouds hung over the sun
A low church stood a silent witness
To the raging sea and surf
Past its bent arch, darkness reigned
A candle lit slowly by...
