Labour:-,
my servant is fairer,
my master, how seagull?....

I'm nothing special, that's for sure,
But if you find my motives so impure ...
Perhaps it's best that we parted ways,
And kept as gold, those fairer days....

I am the darker brother
If you are confused
Wait until you see our father
My mother swells well
Too. She is the fairer sex
There are miles to walk
Between her tears and God....

Thinking 'twould endear him to the fairer sex
     He'd ever worn his heart upon his sleeve

     By the time he found he'd been naive
       ~ The girl he'd married called him 'ex'...

Shall sonnets fairer be?
Surely the muse thought so:
Sweet lines arranged with care,
Sublime quatrains progress,
Suggestively move minds,
Seed expectations, then
Surprise! A couplet stuns…...

Fairer than a rose
That in Eden grows
Brighter than a star
Shining from afar
Purer than a rose
That in heaven grows
I bless the day
She came my way
For until that sunlit morn
I was yet unborn...

Here beneath this humble mount lies

The girl with the prettiest eyes

Greater beauty one hadn't seen

She was fairer than any queen!

Continue to do
only positive things
Humanity’s outcome
your choices will bring
The darker the cloud
that brings on the rain
The fairer the meadow
—for Spring to reclaim

What fairer love this be today
What  fair of love has come my
Way. Has come by me 
What fairer of today
Tell me my love 
How far this love has come
To me to be my love
My love 
My love 
My love
Belove  I love...

Have always connected with the ladies in my life
Have a number of great male buds, sorry ladies are my choice
Gravitate to the fairer sex
They bamboozle me with a hex
Fogging my brain, can no longer keep my poise...

How clearly you appear sometimes -
Short, tall, fat, and thin, 
Depending on my glimpse of you
And conditions then.

I have no fairer friend than you -
True, false, right and wrong, 
Cajoling sense capriciously, 
Fading - to grow strong....

Weather’s fairer stance                                                                                              
Rooted firm midst brokenness                                                                                     
Drifting placid blues...

A beautiful woman
who has the power to transform my soul;
sweet captivation,
breathless enchantment, I lose my control;
spells suspend reason, 
a siren stare which I cannot withstand,
emboldened by love, 
filled with such longing when I hold her hand!...

On fidelity 

The heart, simplistic, gnawed if left exposed
Be covered, shuttered thus pinfold enclosed
Is certain that the fairer, man will draw
And ipso facto balance will restore
With ego’s filled to full capacity
That rip the very fabric; chastity...

A beautiful woman,

she has the power to transform my soul;

sweet captivation,

breathless enchantment, I lose my control;

spells suspend reason, 

a siren stare which I cannot withstand,

emboldened by love, 

filled with such longing when I hold her hand!...

He once wore the mask of the reskin tride,
An orphan set to drale.
Where once was shame, and farn, and guilt,
Now is but a tale.

A man too sold on a life unlived,
In search of fairer fay.
For by the stone, and warf, and will,
He arrives anew to-day.

“A man convinced against his will
Is of the same opinion still”—
But though we will with all our might,
A sober thought still wins that fight.

A fairer rhyme I thus propose,
Our feckless follies to expose:
“A man convinced by stubborn will
Has surely swigged some sturdy swill.”...

"The Infrared" 

Rainbow holds the white like ultra violet speaks white’s dark mind; 
synaesthesia soothes the silence, the infrared shows its fairer self, in time.

You need a piece of love?
Even a speck 
Can last you forever
Come unto me
Said my Lord
Love i give unto you
Not like that of the world
Mine is perfect
Mine is purer
Mine is fairer 
Much more fairer
Than lilies so white
And roses so bright
Love that moves 
Mountains
Love that conquers
Love so abiding
A bond so strong...

begging for a glimpse
of other than your bold eyes
the hidden heat of your smile 
fortune will uncloak
what simple words can not achieve
for one fairer than the sky

uncovered tresses
dance upon the blushing air
kiss my face my cheek, my eyes
drape less bosoms rise
with fragrant breath and whimpers
the gift given lovers lie...

My gender’s not the fairer one,
my student status ... past,
mine is not the voice of region
nor a specific caste.

No network calls me “one of us”
nor seeks to mollify,
I'm not considered ethnic, thus
I do not qualify.

The journals, competitions and
calls for anthology
don’t explicitly ask for bland,
old, white-guy poetry....

One's own mess

Painful as that may be or seem

Hopeful he is, as he looks to me,
Dreaming of the curves of my articulate body;
A dream he cannot have.
He cries, knowing love is harsh,
For Cupid did only hit him, and him alone,
As I march, arm in arm with another much fairer and greater than he.
The pains of unreciprocated desire bash the hearts of those who pay the price,
To love....

Forsaken by my muse, I've been in tears.
For days she has not answered to my call.
Has she found other poets for her wares?
Younger and fairer, who demand her all?

Dear Muse I beg you, nay I do beseech.
Do not abandon me for untried verse.
Though fame and fortune's been beyond my reach,
Perhaps your new found poet could be worse.

Life isn’t fair 
Legions lament,
Noting there’s no equal share.

Some have the wealth of dreams.
Some have little to spare,
Fated to fail it seems.

But if life were fair
What makes us unique
Would grant us no reason to care.

We’d be cookie cutter clones
Stamped out in a row.
You could be me, and I you.
This life is fairer than we want to know....
