Do Not Grow Weary of My Silly Quest

I have endlessly miss us in past best;
Time has eaten up my distant worry,
Do not grow weary of my silly quest.

You miss it too like how dream's forte arrest,
Eyes blur pictures to fulfilling scurry,
I have endlessly miss us in past best.

We had pretended enough unaddressed:
The worth of experiencing such slurry...
Do not grow weary of my silly quest.

How miles to cover left surrey unrest-
Together lost to splendor in surrey,
I have endlessly miss us in past best.

Be smart and good to doubt our plight's request,
With bounded rational score so burry,
Do not grow weary of my silly quest.

We are but insane to the core contest
That chances flavoured, with watery curry...
I have endlessly miss us in past best,
Do not grow weary of my silly quest.

Caught Short

A girl from the county of Surrey
Developed a taste for hot curry.
It spoiled every date
For, sad to relate,
She had to depart in a hurry!

*Surrey is a county in South East England


Once More

 

It's reality but heart doesn't accept;
Still wishing if you by chance change your mind.
My heart is not in agreement with mind.
Unable to think what was my defect.
Believe me, never wanted to repent.
Its destiny sitting alone to find
what went wrong, you left a letter unsigned
stating can't stay with me, made me upset.

Yet, hoping you'll return soon; you know well
without you I'll be losing interest
to live in complex world; I'm ignorant
of culture, norms; for me it'll be like hell.

I was so much dependent on you for
starting new life; can you not think once more?


The elements of the Wyatt/Surrey sonnet are: 
a quatorzain, written with a Petrarchan octave followed by an envelope quatrain ending with a rhyming couplet. ... 
it is composed with the volta (non physical gap) or pivot (a shifting or tilting of the main line of thought) sometime after the 2nd quatrain.

Premium Member Clerihew Petrarch

Petrarch the poet invented a sonnet
but to himself he kept it secret
Then in England a version came
for Surrey&Wyatt claimed his fame

In the Tunnel

Long it has been 
My tunnel awaits 
Long it will be 
For me to awake 

Darkness numbs 
The loud surrey
Kindness keeps warm
I'm reminded not everyday

Secluded from this small world 
Smaller it seems
But this too is enough 
to bring joy or weep

Like every other sorrow 
This tunnel is my morrow
And this too shall pass
With many more to follow

Scratched

There are gaps in the particleboard;
quince wads fill the breaches.
Nicotine newspapers underlay the linoleum.
It's a rented place, he tiptoes
around its yellow layers.

He has a friend he visits on Sunday afternoons.
The walls of her bedsit are paper thin.
She thinks her neighbors scratch on them;
thinks they are writing to her.
She will stand in front of him
naked, eyes closed while they both masturbate.
She wants him to watch her.
She's frightened people will overhear.
This is all the sex she needs; she tells him.
Afterward, they sit side by side
on the small bed reading the tabloids.
Then they walk to a local pub,
sit quietly in a corner, not talking,
holding hands until closing time.

She becomes a missing person.
He scans headlines, obituary columns,
classified ads.
Her parents live in Surrey,
that's all he knows.
On the other side of the city,
he lands a job with a room in a hotel.
He stops looking for her.
His new room is narrow, clean and white.
He stops smoking;
remembers the silence
once shared.

Rooms

Quince wads pack gaps in particleboard.
Yellow newspapers underlay linoleum.
The apartment is a nicotine
an atlas of a blotched sky
can be read on the ceiling.

He has a friend that he visits once a week;
she will stand in front of him to masturbate.
Her apartment walls are paper thin. She tells him
that at night her neighbors scratch on them;
she thinks they are writing to her.

Later they go out to a small pub, 
sit quietly in a corner
holding hands until closing time.

One day she is not there.
He scans the headlines, obituary columns,
the classified ads --- there is no news.
Weeks pass.  Her parents live in Surrey,
he can't find them in the phone book.

He stops looking for the lost.

Premium Member My Solemn Trust Lyrically Musically Love You Much---

MY SOLEMN TRUST LYRICALLY MUSICALLY LOVE YOU MUCH---


Shall I tell you that I love you. I do;
And shall I ever tell it to the world;
Ever so loving and adoring you;
That I'm passionate and adore you girl;

And what manner of love is this my love;
I've written many poems and writes sole;
Candid floral essences of grandeur calls;
windblown spirituals breathing in my soul'

I haven't forgotten my plead nor pledge;
Never ending love shall I encompass?
Must I be keeping my emotions on the edge?
Sound play the sounds of Cupid's trumpet; 
 
As I join the surrey I love much;
Lyrically music, my solemn trust;

Victoria Cross

How uncomfortable I was, sun beating down,
wished I was back home in Esher,
I didn't have to kill anyone in Surrey,
now life and death, always in a hurry.

It was what I was paid for, King and country,
with all this gear on, so damn heavy;
some sort of pillbox ahead, giving trouble,
remembered my commander: 'At the double.'

Then one of us was down, poor devil,
do I just leave him there in the sand?
No, I can't do that, I'm up towards him,
my chances are poor, life expectancy grim.

Drag back, nearly there, then the sting,
in the shoulder, damn, it really hurt,
pushed comrade into cover, over a ridge,
then there coming, other side of the bridge.

My mother was told about the son she adored,
unfortunately, I wouldn't be around to collect the award.

Covered Bridge

Damn you, cursed covered bridge, 
Damn your easy way,
Damn your timbers strong and high 
That let her slip away!

Opposed by torrent moat she was 
Compelled to wait and try.
But no! You let her ride across 
And keep her corset dry!

Within her surrey black and sleek,
By dappled stallion drawn,
You let her pass without dispute; 
Satanic stilted spawn! 

We quarreled once or twice ‘tis true
But now she’s gone for good.
I’ve half a mind to strike a fire
And torch your rotting wood!

Trembles and Thrills

there was a young girl from Surrey
whose love life was all of a hurry
so went for sex advice
from a madam of vice
now can tease and tempt without worry

she has learnt the art of foreplay
hope he has the libido to stay
her tweaking and kisses
sure has no misses
has a smile on his face all day

his friends ask was it more than a kiss
said he can't disclose what it is
that has made his day
in a wonderful way
said his trembles and thrills were just bliss

A horse!  A horse!  My kingdom for a horse!

Wast penned by The Bard of Avon of course!

Richard's steed Surrey lay dead

Slain by a crossbow 'tis said

Dick pled for another 'til he was hoarse!

Catch 22

A woman seeks all that leaves her distraught
In pursuit of extrinsic desires anew
From a dead end grave startled she wakes
Within her eyes fate appeared to be taut
Thoughts delivered warnings in queue
Though on occasion rare she’d have spaked
Along the village nimble she scurried
In the passenger seat of a surrey
Engaged in the act never was she caught
Many a men’s heart she had toiled
Indefinite tribulation it had brought
Often formulas had been foiled
‘Tis not what she had sought
Forsaken eminence to be spoiled
