I always dreamed
of having the perfect best friend
a splitting image of King David's Jonathan
who would shower me
with rainwater of love, loyalty
and acceptance
until the end of time
every time I believed
I have found a Jonathan
I have ended up with a Judas Iscariot or a Jezebel
who would only take away my rainwater
and left me sun dried in the desert alone
to shrink and swell in my sadness
but I have found the most perfect friend of all
the one whose rainwater never dries up
but moisturize my dehydrated heart to life
from this present day until the end of age to come
To the theatre went me and my pal
For a concert that turned out to be swell
We listened to a fab lady singer
Who left us with memories that linger.
The singer came down the steps, off the stage
A request to the audience she made
"Would someone wish to come and sing for me"
It was me put my hand up instantly.
Agreed I’m no singer, but it was dark
I sang out loud from somewhere in my heart
It was a magical moment in time
The enchanted night was meant to be mine.
I’d had the best hours of my life ever
Unrepeatable moments to treasure
People came to dance with me in the aisle
Saying I should be on stage all the while.
It was my moment, never to repeat
'Twas sensational, to say the very least
That momentous night still stays in my head
The unrepeatable moment, so blessed, so blessed.
Humanity is as an ocean, politicans
Create emotion..That indeed a
Wave might rise.? That they in time; can
Ride.' So before you choose a side..Think
How much blood and wealth and pride.'
Maybe.. Consider? Before you jump into the
Drink..Perhaps the better side.? Could
Well be in
Normalcy to bide.?

Today, I visited Sorrento back Beach.
Swam only for five minutes.
Both the swell and the current
Were too high and too strong for me.
Fortunately, the Lifeguard Mason,
Assisted me to get down to the ocean,
Where the waves were less violent.
I held onto his yellow rescue board,
Under my armbit, as he instructed.
When the perfect moment arrived,
Mason asked me to flow and then to dive,
I managed to swim butterfly style.
Mason curious raised a question
If I could do other swim fashion
He was quite amaze when I said
I could do all the swim techniques.
I had a fantastic time today
First time swam in such big waves
With the assistance by the Lifeguard Mason
From the Sorrento Surf Life Saving Club.
I sincerely thank Mason and his Life guard team.
I felt privileged and being blessed to have
Such a wonderful day trip to swimming.
I wished my friend was here with me,
To capture on video or photos
All the fun and new swimming experience.
there was a young man from Connaught
who never once had a deep thought
who fell into a well
said, man this is swell
I am in way over my head
A drink of ocean water champagne
blossoms out going pleasure
evoke swells of glorious dances
releasing island songs in the air alive
Hey Tom, you look well cared for and well fed,
Sure you longed to sleep in your own bed,
You must've had pain, hope they spoiled you,
More medication, preferred a whiskey or two,
Which nurse did you like best, which one a dread.
Stan's plan might be to kiss and tell
To raunchy stories find and sell,
She not the type, who judged things well,
When lips failed a secret its cell...
And she's got to protect her shell:
Not the end if privacy spell,
Lust not listen to its hit bell,
Rid of her Passion's thick smell.
"How sweet is a comforting hell?
I wont again in East-Street dwell.
An ignited love burst and fell.
Spice had seen Stan begin to swell
In his hands for drumming a snell;
And what's that, if not death knell?
Should'nt they die who'd kissed and told,
The subject matter; Spice too cold?
On this wait not for Prophet Joel
Nor for Augury rated Jewel:
Offensive language Sufficient Fuel
For what ignites Murderous Duel…
One I’d watched sparked off by Noel
To his shame like unpleasant gruel;
Keep words picturing like served gruel
For The Jailed by A Jailer cruel:
“I hate you: Satan’s Emmanuel”
“As much I you: the Devils Noel.”
Soon, the two on secrets start to dwell
And the pent-up anger starts to swell,
Ripe and waiting hard punches and kicks,
Noel involving stones, Emmanuel sticks.
Unless you are the very 1st human
being on earth
To have discovered the ability or
have been gifted the means
Of possessing eye's in the back
of your head
Then here a few words that may be
of use to you
Please do not be surprised if you miss
what is right in front of you starring
you square right back at you in your face
Due to the fact and because you
chose to turn your back
And in regards when it comes to
eyes I fear they are operating just
fine
What you may just well be suffering
from is tunnel vision due to your capacity
to listen
Maybe if you are really still that worried
To be on the safe side how's about
You go and get your ears and hearing
checked out
stand at the window
watch for approaching events.

Zhann spoiled his debut, by changing into
A Zhiberain thong mist, he caused Blip Dynomo
to be off centered and then Darksied and
and Lex Luther gained advantage and now
are in control of Reton Twenty One.
"I had him Superman": "I had that Organic freak
Until Green Lantern stopped m!". "All those ooh's
and ah's that trick was mine!"
'Dense Dragon and Lumbee Lance both can tell
Ya, Superman I had him!"
Superman looked to the ground and sighed; "ain't no
Sunshine when she's gone ,and Jan and Black Manta gotta thang GOING ON"!
He was listening to "feels like another one".
If swallows scissor scarlet skies
and gather summer on their wings;
then seasons shift to autumn tones
as gnats retune the evening's song.
If apples swell with ozzing juice
that slowly drips on wooden floors
then purpled fruit release their stench
in time that slowly stretches hours.
If stubbled fields are stacked and stooked
with hay in gilded packs that sway
then harvest yields beneath the moon
reflecting fallen bronzen leaves.
A sharpened odour fills the air
as bonfires smoulder vacant lands
A desolate shore reaches,
its gritty scree taunts
a green and tumbling sea.
Breakers slap an
umpteenth juncture.
Kelp sea pods dilate,
foam swirls in the shingle,
barren wombs drink.
Krill churns out
of a sandy dross.
Waves carry their children away.
life swells to be then contracts to be more ~ signed swell to be
