gentle flowers growing wild

Thank
And love in thee, conceal as not of rank
that might incite thee to a ruse,
exhibit could not shank.
Oh love, the day be gone ~ abuse,
unless of thee am thank,
not just because I see thee true ~
but feel thee close at bank!...

Croydon
Maybe we should erect a love story to Croydon
Celebrate its Pound shops
and diminishing shopping spaces
Love a shank bone instead of a unmeritorious knife
and await the snow
hoping its gritted
in your Bankrupt Croydon
so wonderfully mismanaged...

Edge
A cut-throat razor is being stropped.
A chin lifted, neck extended,
a soaped throat exposed.
There will be blood,
not in the close shave,
but on the keening blade
of that singing steel
we all must feel.
A shank unseen
where a thin-lipped death
trembles
with expectation....

Life's Gardener
Life's Gardener
Multiply thou fruit
replenish thy gardens
beware of the locust
who feast upon destruction
nourish your seeds gently
consume lovely fragrances
show passion to thorns
for they are thy protectors
save flourishing roots
shower them with heredity
so they too may grow
to know of your love.....

Think They Bad
You see them with lip - think they all bad
Fighting and shank holding - think they cool but they just sad
Only phrase - are you dizzy blood - lost in their gang
Mate shot him in the leg - not much of a friend then - bang
Sick, Bruv, blood, dizzy and mashed
Stick them in the forces - they'd get thrashed
Drug deal, act bad - nothing else for them to care
Can never love or live as feelings included never to share...

Souvenirs
We cherish our souvenirs
echoes from the past
tales of where we've been
preventing us from making choices
as to where we can go
dust collecting dust
bones in our closets
each a memorial unto its self
yesterday's pain held captive
within a single glance
as another lonely winter approaches
the shelves have become barren
like the trees from bitter frost
my souvenirs thrown away
yet who can rid memories from the soul.

Shank Bone
The Seder meal approaches;
A shank bone is required.
In years gone by, the butcher smiled
Whenever I inquired.
I hardly know him, but these bones
Are tossed when meat is cut
And so he’d give me one for free;
Today I got one – but…
It’s nestled now in Styrofoam
And shrink-wrapped – very nice,
Until I noticed something else –
A ticket with a price!
It cost $1.23.
That’s not a lot of cash,
But it’s so weird to pay for what’s
Intended for the trash!...
