Somewhere partially due east
Of Hunching Cliff
On the Jurassic coast
Where the Old Lighthouse
Used to stand it's ground
Battered intermittently minutely
Against the wave's and constant tide
With only the steeple rock formations
As any form of barrier or protection
Without it's blinking search light
Now sleep's ever more come
The darkness under cover of solent night
It no longer greets any ships or shoals
All it does and is left to do now is
Rot and crumble away and be covered in
Crustacean shell's and a wreaking scent
Of salty thick white sea mist
That serves simply as to keep the
occasionally passing odd
1 or 2 trophy hunter or ghoulish
collector
From further quickening it's imminent
demise

March forevermore my child
Press onwards admirably
foward
Should you to be allowed
and granted access
Piggyback if you can on the
wing's of solent angel buffered
kite
Whilst all the while still
remembering lest never
i forget
That which was instilled in
me and taught
Knowledge for my own
protection in order to extenuate
my preservation
Such as to keep a safe distance
between i and the sun
Otherwise i am bound
to get burnt
Matters whether or not
if one is to journey in the dead
of winter
Take untold safety precautions
drown oneself in sunblock
factor 50+ sunscreen
Because it will always be the
very last thing you never
in your wildest imagination
would even contemplate
That will steal a march on you
and so to knock your army of toy
soldier's over as well

Where once the mighty timid
Flanders soldier shook
Bathed in foriegn mud underfoot
All but one and two a man
Hard fought and pressed with bayonets clenched in hand abreast
expedient beating pumping chest
Side by side shoulder deep
To breach to cross go over top
To run and face a hail of rapid bullets
And fall beside my brethren brother's
called selflessly to arms
For to return name unknown
With all and but medal to hang
and place my life and times upon
Heroic not in death and historic
battles rolled out come
rememberance day for poppy
sales
But rather in the blood of gallant
resplendent regimental fellow
soldiers saved
Who regail the the tales and
uphold the memories and names
of those solent brave
To whom they owe their own
salvation and lives to this day to
To them we say
We kneel
We bow
We must
We shall salute
Lest we forget
Unless forget we lest
The debt of gratitude yet still not paid
Is the price of peace
Is death and war

Enter the quickening
Earth wind and fire sand
Pulsating purple pork pie presence
Varacus viscus veinns
Like bullets piercing brain
baloon targets
Knocking them from scaffolding
block's like humpty dumpty sat
on maple honey
Oh eye's wide shut with solent
flagpole running up dancing kite
like on the breeze
Unbound me, find me, free me
from this stained glass mirror
looking back
To dream a trip of light fandango carousel fairground ponies aboard
a ferris wheel of cotton candy
Clutching such winning prizes ranging
from goldfish to teddy bears
With a pocket full of sixpence left
enought to catch the last bus home
Or play the slots jackpot , jackpot
all the lucky 7even's

I bought the watch I wrote about in my dream
I have it here at present with me
I wear it on my wrist
To remind me
Of what I am not quite sure
But the price will be worth it
I fear
If I can find it or comes to me 1 Day
And at very worse
It reminds me non the less
So 2
Time itself has a Face
Ever changing
For moments such as this
When Time Stands Still
And Temper's Meaning
Call's an end to hostility and all who sorrow
Come the Nightingales birth
Chirruping on Solent Monolith
Angel Feathers shall Disperse
And Release Lighting Dove's
Unto a Univese we Choose
