Melt This Ice

It has surely outworn its welcome
But it sticks around like gum
I tried once, twice, even thrice
But I alone can't melt this ice.

I would like to see it gone forever
And see love flow just like a river
But this ice still clings tight
Who gave it the right?

Please, won't you set me in the sun?
If it works, lets have some fun
Yes, you'll have your fun
But first this blasted ice must run.

Logic

Logic nothing perishes but the overcoat body, spirit rises canters well, outworn overcoat, falls away ole Poddy,, go anywhere, but bloody hell, logic says the soul wont smell....... grub of soul lives on the earth, butterfly spirit flys in the light, depending on your brownie points,you surf, bitter/sweet is your next delight have you really got it right? wealth n power Asp will bite, deprive the spiritual worth? alright....

Sandwichboard Man

SANDWICH   BOARD      MAN

His role in the street
Tells everything about
The café nearby
With a painted message
“Eat at Luigi’s”
And a big false hand
In blue plastic, with finger
Pointing to the café

You see only head and feet
Shabby hat and  outworn shoes.
All between is hidden  -
A walking wooden prism
A wooden prison

He walks to and fro
Never speaking, never smiling
His soul contained
Between two mute boards
Telling nothing of
His role in life
