A Demon's Moon
Those forever days of the past
it lay quiet in tranquil sleep,
save for visitor's noiseless blasts
of meteor's falls from the deep,
raising silent dust's slow, slow, leaps
in dance, gift of ghost's ballet shoes
Ad agio A cappella,
hypnotized my eyes, seek the moon...
I see Hekate through my glass
of spirits, as I start to dream,
a virgin god, did she think, alas?
I hear her hounds, Hades guards supreme,
I fear beast dogs awake, griping...

Walk with Me
Walk with me
through these heathery hills
to the music in the breeze
and laughter in the rills,
walk with me.
Walk with me
to where the water falls
willingly willingly
to the bosom of the earth,
we shall join the sudden squalls
over this heathery sea,
walk with me.
Walk with me
in shelter of my coat
my fine warm coat, see
it covers you, toes to throat,
you shall not stumble
on this rocky road,
Walk with me
Walk with me...
through these heathery hills
to the music in the breeze
and laughter in the rills,
walk with me.
Walk with me
to where the water falls
willingly willingly
to the bosom of the earth,
we shall join the sudden squalls
over this heathery sea,
walk with me.
Walk with me
in shelter of my coat
my fine warm coat, see
it covers you, toes to throat,
you shall not stumble
on this rocky road,
Walk with me
Walk with me...

Just in Case
I make my art from common things
more cabbage patch than pearls on strings
right plain I spoke no riddles made
among the words where I have played.
Still,' folk pretend to be bemused
make mock amazement, seem amused,
a sly attempt, it could be said,
to deride words grown, from my head...
I say it's they with their mean minds
wilfully closed snide and unkind,
no laurel leavers I could crown
if they write up it is to put down.
They are gathering their collective breath
to blow me into literal death,...

That Mortal Blow
I wonder where the death of me will be
and will it to be where wind loudly blows
by craggy rocks, the wild furious sea,
Blowing my blythe spirit endlessly free
towards the everlasting morning glow
I wonder where the death of me will be.
And will it to be these last things I see,
when life throws my final mortal blow
by craggy rocks the wild furious sea,
Great white foam flecked wave goodbying to me
in the storm tossed sea's ceaseless ebb and flow
and wonder, where the...

A Tribute
Is there a finer way to pay tribute
other than the form they have made their own
singing songs to courtly Spinet and Lute
and if wrath grows then blasts of Trumpets blown.
There is great wealth in writes couched in past terms
linked to sleeping blooms where rhyme came of age,
and they in turn looked to their past and yearned
and this, by hap, ere the first paper page?
They build on legends just as Shakespeare did
the one great change lay in that of degree, ...

C'Mon, Give It Up...
I've sure given up on giving stuff up
like all my goodies I'm supposed to quit
so New Years Resolutions can just get stuffed,
And I'll grow old and fat, stewed in my cups,
because giving up things can be the pits
I've sure given up on giving stuff up...
Like scoffing chocs, dribbling beer as I sup,
or hoarding tat as if I've sticky mits
so New Years Resolutions can just get stuffed,
Or ranting at the neighbour's cheeky pups,
cos...

Behind my Mask
Behind my mask that grins and hides
the truths that I am terrified,
though people think I'm speaking clear
tis just my teeth chattering fear
to again unbe a faceless thing no one has eyed...
I didn't Be before arrived
I shan't Be beyond that Great Divide,
when my face wears death's toothy lear
where my blind eyes shed no more tears
Behind my mask.
So I act as if normalised
but see the...

Ugly
but, such is art,
we are all Emperors!

Just a pedlar hawking tat

Oyez, Oyez, O freeking yes!
