With lank longish hair, of virtue most spare
Hollow cheeked, with joints that creak..An elderly evil proponent of deaths i see there is a reek a pungence of cadavers in such abundance, he knows not where he has buried children a'plenty Grandfathers their
Wives, but then for satan he strives.' He must at least rank as a liutennant skull and
Cross bones on his pennant, a trace of accord..He has trodden the boards floors he is invisible on the black squares.' And will never give up his share.' He mooted for
Guvenor of Gaza, no other i dare could
Show such brass neck.' Of tony blair, who will
Be, no doubt? flexing his ropey old pecs.'

down
crown petals unfold for lofty Light
fontanelle gaping softly smile
Centre Point’s hole blazon mile
pineal connects as conical way
to galactic edenic binomial rays
loosens ovuliferous scales honed
thyroid equalises, tongue relaxes
cylinder opens larynx true blue
speech becomes intended hues
heart softens atria, ventricles
valves linking doors of paradise
protected golden it rhapsodises
coin-line verticle-horizontal spherical
solar plexus flowers monumental near
mystical super might no incidentals
feed flows smooth for tantric beats
sacral seat in creativity knowing heat
power is orange action satisfaction
rooted into Earth mooted primordial
authentic estate mirthful immemorial
aligned connection very refined
~~~~~~~~~~
Forget riffs of regrets
But
To the hilt
We tilt to
Inbuilt lilt
A guilt quilt
Can jilt & wilt
But
No tiffs with what ifs
Won’t let you fret
Circumspect.. I find
Older you get
Bet..more honest…more kind
Care more..know more
Late bloomer rumour
Embraces candour...humour
Respect velvety vagaries
Traces of reflect
Suspect future’s the tutor
Detect serendipity the suitor
Evolution..glints of revolution
Pip that convoluted New Year’s tip
Genuinely don’t genuflect
No sorrow...deflect hints
Of mooted rebooted resolution
Suspect Tomorrow might
Be your best day yet!

Remember when couples would sit and gaze into each others eyes?
Remember when you could survive hours on your loved ones' smile?
Remember when you'd talk about your shared desires and past memories?
Remember when you could laugh and giggle on a journey for miles and miles?
Pixels steel the window views
Words are written they're not mooted
Screens fill the travelling mind
Ads, Gifs, Apps is what you find
Immediately IT takes control of you
When your mind could be drifting on natures' view.
COPLA 85 INVOCATION : This Bad Guy World
If the aim’s to nullify conflict
How could evolution be willed :
Sheer accident
Since species are subject to roles strict
Just to keep each entity drilled :
None come out spent
If the idea was mooted first
Then set to plan by innate laws :
What’s the purpose
Just to assuage Creator’s thirst
To see how we obey His powers :
Meaninglessness

I’ve a face for the radio well suited
And a voice at it’s best when its muted
I’ve got knees that are bony
I am ever so moany
My opinions are frequently mooted
But do not be put off by this verse
For I’m sure you could do a lot worse
I’ve a manner that’s kind
And I think you will find
I look lovelier from the reverse
