Unfair Vanity……

She waves a bottom
so sinfully nice,
not many men wouldn’t
care to look.
He had a plastic beard
pointing to his chest,
his indifference
points to an arrogance.

Clearly uncomfortable
with each other,
it was not
a happy romance.
She only saw skylines
of his failure,
he was content, had
all he desired.

lay awkward
bent beneath
bright and bitter

the hue ascribed
is sweet magic
and the hunger
lightens a smile
and we can see
for miles

the river is clean
and the night is
cold
all these transpositions
forgo
the embrace that never
heals
the tear upon our earthly
souls

let sleep slip us free
to wing the breeze
where fiery stars
glaze this seperate
place
where we stray
but never stay

Eroticised

Thanks for the toooooooooooooo
I thought
You would have said
Only loved
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Can
Dooooooooooooooo

Shall...

Let the night ungown itself,
Let the snows melt away,
Then we shall see who is...
Drenched more you than ye,
You perhaps can forget me
In the hours torn apart
The legs we climb
I remain sublime
And
Tongue to toe
My mouth does blow

Wow you can say now,
Wow you won't

ONE-EYED WANDA

One night in Fraserburgh, I went out for a few beers
Then I headed down the harbour for a daunder
Slightly tipsy , I was peering at a trawler’s winching gear
When I saw her in the moonlight: One - Eyed Wanda

At nearly 20 stone, I wouldn’t say she was a looker
And she talked about strange things I didn’t know
I thought my charms were working, ’till she said she was a hooker
I thought “women’s rugby - centre of front row?“

Can't you taste the discontent?
all the rules are broken, bent
Congress bailed the bankers out
guess we know who has the clout

I'll tell you it's not me or you
but the connected privy privileged few
the CEO's bearing ruin's onus
fired or jailed? hell no, a bonus!

Rewards for work so badly done
for being someone's favorite son
unconcerned by what is right
I wonder how they sleep at night

There've been times in my life
where I've just had to say,
"I must, give it all up,
for, it's that kind of day"!

I must, really say this
I really, just must;
if I didn't say it,
then, it wouldn't be, "just".

There's this crazy, old man
we'll just call him, "Doc";
who fills up blank pages
with, "poetical talk".

There is an old teddy bear
Beat up, worn down, but still soft and cute
Who always sits in the window.
The gloomy window
The lonely window
Every day people pass by
Not even glancing at the small bear
it seems that is where he will stay,
The gloomy teddy
The lonely teddy
He rests his small paw on it
That cursed transparent barrier
Threaded tear runs down his felt cheek
A saddened bear
A desperate bear
But in the window he stays
Growing thin, ragged until one day

Like matches to a cigarette
His emotions spark for all to see
Queasy in his stomach as he tries
To hide his sweaty palms

Adversity is a bitter cup of tea
He’s sick of gulping it down
His patience is hanging by a thread
As his thoughts run off course like a derailed train

Sorry, won’t do much anymore
He has grown sick to the insincerity
See, he has been walking on endless roads
So, there’s no sense in getting in his way
He’ll find a way to walk beside you

FRIEND AND NOTHING MORE

Let it happen once before,
It will not happen any more:
Did you really think that I was such a bore?
My heart wasn’t yours to take,
You see, it's really for my sake
That I must not let it happen any more-
Was it so hard to understand?
All I asked for was a friend
And nothing more…

Listen to the peepers sing
announcing their desire for spring
I see the first gold daffodils
are blooming on south facing hills
The pink blossomed cherry trees
bound to get nipped by a late freeze
The neighbors working loud and hard
mowing wild onions in their yard
People showing more bare skin
some so much it's near a sin
The first turkey gobble of the year
as breeding season's growing near
Robins seen in flocks and bunches
listening for some wormy munches
