No fresh air to breathe, only heat and smoke that is debilitating
The burns and wounds...

LETS TANGOLETS TANGO

But an invasion, well I never
An Atlantic territory, remote
Who’d respond, they thought
Or perhaps get overwrought
Eight thousand miles by boat
Surely a link one could sever
As we’d not bothered before

Broken HalosHeard a song of broken halos,
folded wings that used to fly.
Wondered why I go where I go.
Yeah, broken halos as miles went by.
Angels used to come and teach me,
now they’ve gone another...

Out of darkness comes lightWhen I am down and out
Feeling so far from good
And life I find in doubt
That's when my writing would
My deep, dark worries rout
A softer voice,not crude

To better that dark mood.

a death blow to the bow,

Zigzag up the street
Wobble wobble..
And half past puzzled
Seems like form

His odour sour
Orphaned at eight
He explained
Never had a chance
Of a lifetime
