The corpse as he started off on his daily grind!
What he saw filtered through, so he had grounds
To send for the Police, to investigate what he'd found!

threats intimidation badgering
and fear meaningless arousal

again a righteous over reasoning
I was selected poet of Florida
four years in a row inspired

In their midst I feel completely at...

I found myself stupefied
it was day
at the threshold of paradise
my watch said seven
gemstone lights
sparkling off walls
pearly white gates
by Angel's with flaming sword 
guarded.

my strength half gone
I’m just a poet I said
he answered...

I slid the slider to my art studio with cautious optimism,
Hoping to find my brushes and glitter and paint and glue
Somewhere close to where I had left them last night.

The bright pink paint I had...

Spring is back with its unmistakeable intoxicants.
I stand, once again, by a road that leads to another day.
My mind hums ceaselessly, one day at a time....
A cobbler displays his craft on my shoes' ruins,
With funny...

A huge Alsatian barks at a passerby stranger
as the pond geese honk sensing grave danger
Trudges back home a rangy lone ranger.

Big and little aubergines cast a purple shade
In the twilight birdsong begins to fade
Night makes...

Heroes and heroines need to save the world,
on a regular basic to keep the image bold.
They declare that poor people are stupid,
not having the capacity to help themselves included.
Having a barby doll degree in social...

Golden 

Little Golden books, 
from our childhood, 
line the shelf which sits now lonely. 
Their readers, all grown up,

It stretches further into another dimension we call dreams
but are vital in living life.
What my ghostwriter tries to say is: dreams come true.

strong arms around waist romancing
old friends on porch with guitars singing  
merry farmers on green hills harvesting
not a bird on trembling wire singing

Stay over, forever
my unusual love,
stay over, forever 

There’s nothing left here
without your rear love,
but high pitched emptiness

I’ll drill and till harder,
non stop,
till I cultivate you into my immersed care

I will never quit	
nor faint against the...

In a three -storey building, with great walls,
Lived a girl who spent her day with dolls.
One day, her family happened to leave in a car crash,
Leaving her alone with their Ash.
In their three- storey building.

dedicated to Hans Christian Andersen

------------------------------------------------------------

He lived in Denmark many years ago.

He was the son of a shoemaker,

and he loved to dream very much.
