Her Majesty
She's in a diminishing phase
From last quarter to the new
But soon all her crescent displays
Will please lunatics tried and true
Who watch her climb the eastern skies
As often as the clouds allow
That hallowed orb to hypnotize
The eyes beneath the caveman brow
Housing a love for midnight things
Like moonbeams in midsummer air
And Saturn in his sacred rings
Or screech owls who routinely stare
At all of that which lurks below
A moonrise of majestic glow!
From last quarter to the new

Like moonbeams in midsummer air
And Saturn in his sacred rings
Or screech owls who routinely stare
At all of that which lurks below
A moonrise of majestic glow!

Last Night
Softly he asked, "have you ever tried?"
Hesitantly I turned to him
and discovered our new playtime
One after the other
Gasping from the shock of each slap
Aching, tensing
Shifting forwards and back
My racing heart echoes
Each stinging slap building
Aching need
Tears of ecstasy in my eyes
Then my lovers breath
upon my neck
Release the passionate delight
of my anticipation
Blissful quaking drips like honey
Nourished pleasure
My body blushed
Hesitantly I turned to him
and discovered our new playtime
One after the other
Gasping from the shock of each slap
Aching, tensing
Shifting forwards and back
My racing heart echoes
Each stinging slap building
Aching need
Tears of ecstasy in my eyes
Then my lovers breath
upon my neck
Release the passionate delight
of my anticipation
Blissful quaking drips like honey
Nourished pleasure
My body blushed

Adieu...
She said goodbye in a dream last night
Or else it was a housecat's ghost
Lingering as an after sight
Where fondness always plays the host.
She dynamized as spirits do
Yet in her familiar way
Of anxious trot and dainty chew
On a garden moth canape.
Then she coursed the hall from room to room
Wondering where she last had slept
And soon enough she would assume
A vacant lap where she'd be kept...
Long enough for a farewell pet
And a purring sound I won't forget.

Seems like Britain basically wants to rule the world again. Lol! Come on then Liz Truss let's fight them!
By Stanley Collymore
Get a life Liz Truss as what passes
for your present one has actually long ago passed its sell by date!
Ralistically therefore you basically
do really need, to be de-selected
by your constituents Liz. For you
are a dangerous and essentially
also, a distinctively delusionally
conceited idiot with absolutely
no principles whatsoever, and
literally too, those undeniably
repulsively, and self-servingly
repulsive, characteristics you
obviously have and would so ...

Why did the chicken cross the road ?
Colin is an egg turner,
he turns eggs
until they crack,
then he hands
the chicks to Jack.
Jack is a chick feeder
he feeds up broilers.
Broilers get fat fast
so fat, they cant reach water
and their legs snap
under their own weight.
Meet the transport fleet
crammed into cases
at just seven weeks
broken legs, wings and beaks
Colin's daughter manages
the slaughter.
She puts them into shackles
cuts their throats
and boils off their feathers.
She sometimes forgets
to cut...

In Fine Vitae, Ut Scio
Dripping the madness of delirium
from the blood of twilight's corpse
sewing the belly oats
of night's flawed body
feeling the pain across wooded shacks
of the bleeding throats
with a broken splinter up the ass
for the love of medallions and awards
to place on my headstone
feeding my exaggerated worth
in fine vitae, ut scio,
at the end of life as I know it
from the blood of twilight's corpse
sewing the belly oats
of night's flawed body
feeling the pain across wooded shacks
of the bleeding throats
with a broken splinter up the ass
for the love of medallions and awards
to place on my headstone
feeding my exaggerated worth
in fine vitae, ut scio,
at the end of life as I know it

Suddenly A Rush
amid the chaos
every day as
I go around about
tired of waiting,
meditating
breathing in and out
thoughts keep churning,
am I learning
anything at all?
it's just thinking
as I'm sinking
down until I fall
without violence
into silence,
to be within a hush
which ends waiting,
elevating,
suddenly a rush
of understanding
I'm a man in
somewhere seldom seen
by my thinking
as I'm sinking
into another dream...

The Unanswered--the Unasked
The Unanswered—the Unasked”
I longed to speak, if only as a whisper
Hoping that you would answer,
Though death might take me
I feared your heart might break me.
Fragile perhaps my bones may be
But no pain is greater than that calamity
Of a callous word then spoken:
To a heart newly mended, so newly broken.
We were tears together,
Falling always, falling ever
To the song of roses red.
But silence only do you shed
On the petals as they wilt
As we justify your guilt.
But I must kiss the lie
You’re telling...

A Voice Writing our Story
There's a kinetic energy
Between lovers
It's unspoken
It floats in aura
Supreme and unflinching
Bold but telling
There are things
I want to say them to you
But can't, so I write these poems
I'm around you on every corner
In your rear view mirror
A voice writing our story
Between lovers
It's unspoken
It floats in aura
Supreme and unflinching
Bold but telling
There are things
I want to say them to you
But can't, so I write these poems
I'm around you on every corner
In your rear view mirror
A voice writing our story

No Going Backs
Orion seems to have
Shifted
From the platform
Of yesteryear
Like shifts
In
Fear here
Or
There
Where there was
Snow
And there was know
Of frozen feelings of chosen dealings
With
Edge of the Earth
Pacts
Of no going
Backs
Shifted
From the platform
Of yesteryear
Like shifts
In
Fear here
Or
There
Where there was
Snow
And there was know
Of frozen feelings of chosen dealings
With
Edge of the Earth
Pacts
Of no going
Backs

Secret Jedi
I look to a sable
Sea of lost
Symphonies
Sent to
Seas lost
In vast
Episodes of
Lost
Like flags at
Half mast
At
Last as fast
As stealth speeds
Feeding upon
All too
Human needs
Heeded by cyclical
Endlessness
As
I have willed
It thus
&
Willed it
Thus
&
Willed it
Thus
Sea of lost
Symphonies
Sent to
Seas lost
In vast
Episodes of
Lost
Like flags at
Half mast
At
Last as fast
As stealth speeds
Feeding upon
All too
Human needs
Heeded by cyclical
Endlessness
As
I have willed
It thus
&
Willed it
Thus
&
Willed it
Thus
