mind and body clinch
with clenched fists
grappling loggerheads...

I
always
imagined
things would have changed
we would have moved on
yet here we are
loggerheads
impasse
still

If
enough
pressure is
applied to a
bad situation
pressure builds up
and sometimes
the dam
breaks

Our love is so real,
yet,we can`t be together,
Silly tradition...
Families at loggerheads,
how can love be so painful?

Past haunts the present,
but our love is unshaken,
despite parents row,
We`re ready to break this seal
and remain close til death parts...

This house
older 
than the cave man
gave shelter
to five generations
of loggerheads
confederate dudes
with mustaches
out of frame

Under the staircase
the skeleton
of another Scarlet
with the skull
riddled from bullets
because she went
with the handsome miller
next door

A case for CSI
Cold case
FBI
instead
outside
the demolition 
crew
and the antiquary
of course
a jew......

me and my bicycle
are in  a queer relation 
at least in the state of running
at high speed it keeps balance 
but off balance my life  becomes 
while I drive  at low speed 

me and my life 
now at loggerheads 
at least in the matter of speed 
my life runs well  like a bicycle 
but at the age of forty 
I could not afford high speed 
upon putting  much efforts  
I develop  back pain....

Twosome at loggerheads.
            Tempers flare now and then!
      The referee nowhere...

 To be found; good heavens!
                     Tempest in a teapot.
      Trouble in paradise; 

  The state of their union.

A world of magicians and faeries and elves
Mystical and magical intense and alive
Feverishly I grasp at every wish blowing fast
In my world I can see magic as it runs past
Hues of mist and colours of sunlight
Mirrors of truth and wizards of justice
The subjects addressed by the faerie king himself
The pixies giggle intent in their play as they delve
The gnomes and leprechauns at loggerheads again
I smile as I turn and watch the king order his men...

Alone in the dark
Daydreaming about what was once mine
Eternal flames dancing about like a lark
Killing my sorrow in bottles of wine
Up until that night
Nothing – and I mean nothing ever
Left me in such a state of fright
Except for that fateful day last year in November
Arriving at a crossroads
Jungle boots and helmets
At loggerheads with civilians in folds
Shots fired. So many deaths
Including my beloved’s
November is here again, and so is the hurt!...
