Flight of Fancy
I shall persevere with my dream
to be among those far flung stars,
as do those clever folk who scheme
to land a poet there on Mars.
I've heard it called a desert world
a planet devoid of all life
but I have seen the sunlight curl
round rocks like girl's curl round their wife.
Curious as I am I’ve also heard
the whispering breeze shape the sand
into the finest feminine curves
far finer than Angelo’s hand.
The graduations...

Lunatic'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 claw, tearing teeth,

To Be or..?
I've a soul to sell, Devil Dear,
as pure and white as heaven's clouds,
so for sure, death, I do not fear
my soul shan't lie long in my shroud.
So, devil dear, be not so proud
to spurn an innocent such as I
as I call out to you aloud
for a change of talent, place and time.
Before I lie, in Stratford, on my bier
and my heart, post haste, to London town
leaving in Burbage's hands my sphere
the world will know who wears the bard's crown.
Not Bacon in his clown lord's gown
nor poor peasant Will. But I! I!

Dreaming in Lesbos.
O Aphrodite my sweet loving morts
are dedicated to you dread mistress,
teacher mine of the fine seductive arts
this aphrodisia from Olympus.
May your name thunder down all dark ages
till Amazon's too tremble in your sight,
may I beseech thee for thy aegis
for I have need of thee, these holy nights.
I beg your spirit suffuse within me
so that my power is likened unto gods,
to seduce all to worshipping of great thee
though my sheaf receive many manly swords
Woman, men, will swoon great Queen where you...

As if!
He comes round with his window cleaning gear
whistling some well known bohemian air
wears gold earrings, street cred' is now, so dear
as he runs up his ladders like heaven's stairs.
Tanned and sleek full of self-confident wealth
he says, ''you're next, miss " but thinks "she will purr!"
rippling muscles, bouncing round with rude health
with a chest full of black gorilla fur.
He cleans windows like an athletic cat
stalks these streets like an animal on the hunt
but I know the repertoire, all of the...

Nature's Hand
A woman's face by nature's own hand painted
but her palette hides in bags under my eyes,
for sure the turkey I never hated
but it cursed me I look at my neck, and cry.
Nature first painted my face a nice oval
then came life's gravity this dragged it down,
now no matter how much I pay or grovel
I can't change the beautician's worried frown.
Ah, time will pass and this I's life will end,
I'll request a burial on a hill
so my immortal atoms blowing blend
with the universe's expressive quill.

Rew & Prue
I shall dig you up, my Mother,
then lay my body on your bones
and we shall meld with one another
Mother, we shall birth a clone.
My brain's indeed enough for two
your memories are intact
we shall twin again be Rew and Prue
to regain that which we lack.
So lie still Mother, lie easy,
please do not torment me so
although I feel a little queasy
I've not much further to go.
then lay my body on your bones
and we shall meld with one another
Mother, we shall birth a clone.
My brain's indeed enough for two

to regain that which we lack.
So lie still Mother, lie easy,
please do not torment me so
although I feel a little queasy

The Great Dying
This sun with its attendant train
of rocks orbits this Galaxy,
this done twenty times in this vein
since cold and small science tells me.
Two hundred million years will see
it again in this space as it soars
falling ever majestically
towards the milky way heart's core.
Did it pass this way through strange rays
the last time round, we cannot see,
those years ago but same pathway
and as it passed a killing spree
occured on land, oceans, air and seas,
beasts, fish, insects, birds even...

Fashion Lingerie
We're put away for special nights
although those nights can last for days,
we're made for time of dimmed down lights
we wait with sweet smelling sachets...
Miles from whale-boned corsets or stays
we wait to cling to thighs, hips, legs,
and her breasts, we're her silky lingerie,
designed to thrill and make boys, beg
when she's out to play...
Not for she her drab daytime tights
our stockings go near all the way,
to where she hides her nights delights
behind silk, when she's out to play.
Her half-cup bra designed to...

Thieving Kiss.
I kissed a boy when I was young
a wooden nickel was my gain,
and on my sticky liquorice lips
he insisted on a kiss again.
He probed my mouth with his hard tongue
I distinctly remember this,
and when he'd finished when he had done
he stole my gum with his thieving kiss...

Villanelle Age of Steam
I would love to live in the age of steam
so grandly elegant with its great grace
tis such a romantic place where I dream,
Those ships and engines with brasses a'gleam
Besler's steam airplane flew! Gas? In your face!
I would love to live in the age of steam.
The Golden Arrow the African Queen
they've such lovely lyrical names in place
tis such a romantic place for my dreams,
Stanley's Steamer car ran ever so clean
there wasn't so much hurry or much haste

Ode to the Forever Gone.
Getting and spending wasting our being
slaves not to body's needs but wants of eye,
those greedy-orbs set up high seeing things
beyond hand's grasp becomes, so highly prized!
Long before our spoken words could be wrote
or passing time told by brass-necked tin clocks,
the prize was on the hoof and in the wind
hunger for it gripped the belly and throat
the price of that prize, sweat and thrown flint rocks
the only way to reach it, swift lithe limbs. ...
