lost in the bric-a brac-
of life...

Seems there's less joy
  So I feel I must ask

I don't mean to be coy ~
  Can your smile be unmasked...

It used to be that separation 
  was employed to end relations

Now as I can clearly see
  It's a sign you care for me...

He checked his coat and hat
   thought ‘That is that…’

When he saw the sign on the ledge
   ‘Remember to check your privilege’...

The wife is a Number One Cook
But never refers to "The Book"
Her Number One task:
A comely mask
After that, you know where to look!...

When the enterprise gets exposed
A brothel finds out it's opposed
The sign in the front
Men meet with a grunt
Says beat it we recently closed...

A woman who once craved Chanel
Had the news on too much, I could tell
For she told her new beau
What would set her aglow
Wasn’t perfume, but rather Purell!...

Fresh dirt for house plants under our care
Dust spray when the laptop has it there
Put water on the list
Was anything missed?
Well let's see it's water, dirt and air!...

“Gosh golly darn” we don't use today
It really depends on the lexicon of the day
Ain't nothing wrong
Language is strong
A sign of the times like wearing a toupee...

The moon was obscured by a swirl of shrouds
Witches and goblins were laughing out loud
   Lest you think Halloween
   Or that Lilith's now Queen
It was merely a parade of proud shrouds...

The wheel of the ship  
spinning 'round
out of control, the
captain below deck
spitting vitriol, first
mate and deckhands
at loose ends, no
orders or goal...
all coming undone
beached on a
barren rocky atoll...

Sign Of The Times



Surely
Ignorance is bliss,
Going about
Not knowing
Of impending
Finality.
Times end.
Happy knowing
Each day
Together
Is special.
Messianic times.
Earnestly search your
Soul....

humanity
ebbing
restless,flowing
as the tide selecting
morals,claiming ethics do not
matter
such
self-love
catches us out
and cannot be contained;
overflows and spreads out beyond the
atoll.

Trails of rainbowed lines fill the sky, 
with an ancient whisper of time gone by 
Needing a spiritual touch, of thanksgivings love and hope and trust. 
I find the answers deep inside 
Leaving trails of rainbowed lines 
already a sign of the times...

stamp & strut
ego unlocked
reserve abandoned
to lie and die
courtesy struggles
to triumph over
narcissitic instinct:
status trumpets
..me...my..mine
look am I not 
looking fine..
clap,applaud
no shame  the
name of my game

Consuming brain waves from plentiful touch
Exchange of sorrow, mirth, and incredulous dirges
Following the sign of the times
Discourse as it reeks from chest cavities
Angsting bloated bodies barrelled into walking murmur
You sleepy disease fungal fortunes run amiss
Runinous with divisive claims...

The temperature is black
Somewhere in sometime
Stuck in motion the slack
As I am devoted to those sins of men

Release those burdens
Release those children
Whose mind are blown on electronic
They whom are niether
Happy or  living life sad and mad
Where are the dad's
Help them Lord God...

Surge of sure urge
As echoes merge


Sign of the times
In awkward rhymes


Spread of vain poise
Crafty souls voice


Smiles in pure guile
In a fake pile


Spark of vain lies
In wicked tries


Dreams come to die
In muffled sighs

Facing the unknown.
Only to feel alone.
Future incognito.
Gambled tomorrow.
Things planned.
Permanent trip in hand.
Constant Worriment.
Lost merriment.
Past presents...
Recent judgments.
Uncountable days…
Endless dismays.
Agitation of mind.
Sign of the times.
An unintentional write.
Of an internal fight....

on the harbour wall thinking about life ~ whilst ripples stirred in the sea

a porpoise swam past never to look back ~ a washed up siren wept free

some voice called out its a sign of the times ~ that she was always a he

as i drowned my life flashed by ~ yet all of the bad bits were new to me
