I’m visiting the Manor with the paranormal society
It’s said to be haunted; I’m filled with some anxiety

With bloodied hands she’s found guilty of impropriety 

The Manor is so...

No daylight in the womb,
No light in the tomb,
And sometimes it seems
The end comes not too soon

For whatever reason,
We come into this world,
It's sometimes a challenge
Where logic is curled
Into some self-serving
nonsense too hard to understand,
And...

the real name of a hero
that never dies
That mist that always
goes up even in day light

the blessing,the hate and contradiction
that her forefathers' name carries

A Bo'sun in the pub was wheezing
From Wanda Mann's underhand teasing
An organist by trade
And accomplished milkmaid
Her fingers were quite busy squeezing

The Bo'sun recalled a sperm whale
That spouted away in a gale
Wanda knew how whales blow
And...

Younger days spent in a music boyband
Older he graduated to a heavy rock band
With the stage name of “Collapsin’ Grandstand”

Last summer Armand took a cruise trip to Greenland
Because that was...

HE DOESN'T UNDERHAND

It's another dark dank morning and it's time to rise and shine
jump out of bed that's just about eroding
it's another uncertain day with blood as a significant sign
it's another morning as he awakes...

Where do you want to be and how soon
That you enquire of the shortest routes and fast cars
Always on your way by sun and by moon
Oblivious of whether your skies host guiding stars

The Lord only...

I have one goal, that is to become whole
Not to be faultless, but a gracious soul
To not become angry, but understand
When folk do the things I find underhand.

Anger does nothing but drive one insane
Those causing...

The power is in our hands, to change the world,
but whom do they serve, when the flags unfurled?
It is the bank account, that gets the victory,
The strike of the gavel, be it pine or hickory.

Marvelous Minnie had a hissy fit and threw her lamp down the stairs.
It hit an elf, a gargoyle, and four children dressed as Goldilocks and the Bears.
They ran up to see what was going on...

I am not a temporary thing.
I am not here to make you...

I live in England

My country is not in Google
No one recognises the name
I go under United Kingdom
And no one can explain

I live in the green and pleasant land
Rule Britannia and god save the king
But it’s...

Unfurled are my sails
Upon a sea of unknowing 
Wind of change guiding me
On a ship called “Fear"

The gentle tap...tap...tap
Of water from moisture ridden sails
Falls upon teak, underhand
Steering me from peace of mind

Trials and tribulations before...

from the tellers lips who told me so:
