I do not, amongst the dregs of my cups,
Consider you worthy to be the theme 
For my untutored scribblings.
There, Madame, there: I put you 
In your place, amongst the detritus 
Of my life, the forgotten effigies of life, 
As she should be lived.
Yet, you do not acquiesce to my intentions,
And re-emerge into my consciousness
To disturb and argue for attention and 
Writings.
I am weak, and accede to your importuning
With versification to placate your demands, 
To show my love....

Again I have to cross
A blank page for travel
A wide desert spread
Spaces to far away lands
Which seems even sterner
For the words to instruct
Vehicle of subtler thought
Movement for the select. 
 
 Perhaps with a magic
Hand of chance
I will take plunge
Into the inkwell
My fingers wide spread 
To write
To find hidden furies
Being born of some dread.

 With my solitude
I will come alive 
With devilish wide smile
To bail out
Into a liberation
An antiquity of versification....
