your words tempting me to dance
in the whirl of love,
swirling and twirling my heart;
a different Spring this time!

The gates of Time yawned back,
And let the Western seas attack,
Hurling tidal waves
That turned the towns to graves.

Atlantis sank before—
And then the California shore
Settled out of view
Below Pacific blue....

I’m trying a new ‘see food’ diet
I’d recommend that you all try it
Any food will do
Nothing’s bad for you ...
It's no wonder my trousers don’t fit!

In a cavern for all the Undead,
they examine the hole in her head,
when she opens her thighs,
maggots drop from her eyes

My Wish, Pure Pish
	

Would all that I read
Forever stay in my head
Many heads I’d carry
And, a Gorgon I’d be!

Gen is what remains
If memory loses its gains 
So long Grad. Cap I don
I’d be a happy Gorgon!

Bow your head to a flower,
take its permission to pluck
for God is present in it,
this much it deserves.

Footles Rattle

Far sky
So high
Hot sun
Not fun.
Naughty 
Haughty.
High price
New rise.
Top prize
Hopes rise.
Strong-willed
Long-grilled.
New ring 
News bring.
Don’t miss
Fond kiss.
Too shy
No try.

Confidently he played
Cat and mouse across the
Chequered board of her heart,
Cheating behind her back.
Caught in the act, he lay
Cowering in defeat:
Checkmate...the final move.

Cast out devils

Once holy building
Deserted and abandoned 
No more holy rites
Dead vicar’s skull and thighbones 
Used by Satanists there now

* A true story - the Satanists were forced to leave and the church was reconsecrated

AUTUMN COLORS

Pristine serenity, branches now naked
Leaves like clothes shed of pure variety
Many a painter now clothes his canvas
With the patterns beholding shades majestic
All seem to be enchanted; mystic
Their crusade all the more musical
