Zen modeone with God’s breath that enlivens our form
we peep inside the boundaries of skin
we see that head and heart with love conform
with the vessel now clean, we can go in
that our soul’s transformation may begin
in time dissolved stillness invoking grace
held by God’s tender love in close embrace...

Gotcha You Too ?
Tingly skies full of surprise oh how I love when with surmise
the little rascal aims his dart as if it were, poetic art !
Cupid found me and turned me into mush
when he walks by I suddenly begin to blush !
Cupid has my number and when he rings my bell
I feel all...

Strength of the WillThe Strength of the Will
Deep within every soul lay the strength of the will
All the temperance and fortitude that it can instill
When seeking for some answers and confusion is the host
Is when your inner strength of the will is needed the most
There are constant tests for this strength of the will
Willpower becoming a saviour,...

Kathmandu
I've never been to Kathmandu
it's highly unlikely I'm ever going to
and I don't consider macaques the least bit holy
while some there choose so to do
tho' they may be Nepalese aristocracy
no they won't make a monkey of me
such couldn't leave me any colder
as it's all in the mind's eye of the beholder
and who decides what is...

Hook, Line And Sinker
Broad in the beam
not much of a looker
this crusty rust-bucket
of nuts screws and bolts
is a crabby old hooker
as luck would have it
dolled up trolling for supper
at any port in a storm
she still gives good service
tho' down on her uppers
now showing her years
deep in the scuppers
yet still on the game
fishing by night for a living
not to...

Half-Skunked Drunks
A truckful of drunks
half-skunked boozers
gun racks in the back
unlucky losers
pulled up to the pumps
for a gallon or two
only high octane
tanked would do
then one had a bad itch
he started to scratch
wanted a smoke
and when he lit a match
the explosion was heard
three miles away
to arrive alive
do what they say
'Don't drink and drive'
and yes it's true
it could ruin...

Dream On
'Follow your dream'
easier said than done
as the girl of my dreams
for me she is the only one
and yet for her I don't exist
she sees through me sad to say
don't have what (it) takes her fancy
won't even look my way
as ships which pass in the night
our two hearts will never meet
I find mine's a dead-end dream
on...

Flying Is For The Birds
If all goes well
airlines will sell
seats by the pound
the less you weigh
the less you pay
to fly the world around
and yet
if a commercial Russian airliner jet
unfortunately
crashed into the sea
would there be
Aeroflotsam on the ocean
fragmented and floating free?
It's a riddle
inside a mystery
wrapped in an enema
from 1939 Soviet Union history.

The Morning PaperWhen I’m away, I hang a bag
Or two from my front door.
The guy who brings the morning paper
Knows just what it’s for.
He neatly folds The New York Times
And places it inside,
Where it will stay and wait until
My home’s reoccupied.
Today, nine papers filled the bag
And that’s exactly right.
Tomorrow I’ll start reading them,
In order, and I might
Get...

a country that never was, that never had borders
He somehow thinks that things will be ‘fine’

Son, Stay Home For ChristmasSon, please stay home for Christmas day,
You are often out in trouble and out at play;
Let's celebrate with our kith and kin
Sharing some cookies and hot tea
Sitting by the fire or near the tree;
Stay home for Christmas, son
Set aside your plans of running away
Stick around with us, remain with me....
