I buy my shoes by the foot,
Tend my front lawn by the yard,
Groom the dog by the furlong,
That’s why metrics are so hard....

A chance to dream
The awesome storm
Pilgrimage and Swan
Birth matrice for furlong
Please me captive and torn
Awaken from this nightmare no longer,
Captured in the storm...

The bishop said it was such a disgrace
That the minister's horse lacked much pace,
   He remonstrated it was a cardinal sin
    When you put the church's money in
  And it finishes last in a six furlong race....

Mimetic mimicry mimicked the mime.
More than furlong, the entire belonging day long.
Prophet, the proper property, pope prophecy.
Hardhearted harshness tied a fair harness.
Shepherd herding sheep, harder in a herder way....

I'm planting my hopes in silent passion
A harsh winter salad I fear
with greenfly and spider
I'm waiting for perpetual  rain
and to fathom the reasons why?
you left me furlong in the mud
blonde and ruthless , 
telling me something I didn't know...

She sits furlong
the race has been won
saddled on the mountain top
why equate the drilled
laying like searchlight beams

She waits for the birman
with wings on her mind
straight laced 
she race you for fun
Venus on the edge
shared shies
she unfathom you

Poetry of life
Is as elegant as forest
In both
The treasure, hidden within…

Like forest, her thirst
Opportune sign
In each furlong, the mystery
Intimately grip…

 Where is the beauty?
In such green lush or in such silken thigh
I am struck by the beauty
Nature or otherwise…...

I wish i could give her the life she dreams of,
Wish i could love her the way she desrves
but money can burn
and love can die
So i will try to be deserving of the love she gives
and dream of the life i have
Wrapped in my arms
i look so furlong
Always the nagging thought hammering nails through honey
The time will come with no one to hug...

Invitation

F-riends or enemies do come along too 
R-ise with me higher than yesterday.

E-asily seen here acknowledged by a wave
E-asily noticed there by a nod of the head.

D-esire actions that ring just and fair
O-nly free for the doing.

M-emories for all.

A skylark mourns

Quite a furlong away

May be on the other bank

Beyond the river

Of the conjugal pleasure

Flowing into the sea of voidness.



Or worlds apart

Beyond the mist of separation

That sings unique notes 

Notes of broken glasses, 

Notes of burnt gardens-

From a flute of death



Carried through the tides 

Of dark winter breeze

To the pyre of mourning

The death of my nascent dream

Before its first cry....

Within my mind walls, upon a screen,
amazing adventures can be seen.
Through the fog that slowly drifts,
a lovely swan, her wings she lifts.

Head held high shows she is pleased
by evening light’s embracing breeze.
Into the water, she then glides,
upon liquid silver, she then rides.

In amber browns, trees whisper songs,
as she swims near one furlong.
As evening shadows enjoy light-play,
oh how I wish, that I could stay.

Blue robin in garden sings a soothing song,
  dew drops dance in rings blushing all along,
    skew golden rays of strings covering a furlong,
      new dawn of rebirth brings summer here daylong.
        Few butterflies sprout wings to fly lifelong,
          strew colors on rushing springs where they belong;
            queue of red ants clings to branches too strong,
              view to a world of little kings all dressed wrong.

Weave that spell of magic,
Wean away everything tragic.

Where in the world were you so long?
Well, for you I could have always walked that extra furlong.

When moods are in the upswing,
With it well being it does bring.

Wading troubled waters hand in hand,
Weariness beware, we will send you to remand.

What does love mean to both of us?
One factor that binds us without any fuss.

Why for Valentine day would we need a reminder?
When we celebrate love every day of the year....

Halloween’s Drummed!

Alien vampires hunt around the block,
Seeking abduction, plus feasting on prey
No trickery  with haunt,  just a soft shock.
Serious tracking to Vampires it’s play.
Delicately preparing this blood day
Striking their juglar rewarded a whiff
Cautionary. silent.. draining til stiff.
Slightly paralyzed delicately numbed
Halloween vampires come for a short jiff
Diabolical? Some say its quite drummed!
