Tonight ?
menage a troix.
That's one of three.
What is one of five?
I wonder not sure of what.
Last night none.
Tonight four & me.
No name to call It.
Welcomed & mellow.
I slumber to be.
One red one poker dot.
Two in blue.
Squeke dreams.

The Kiss
Rodin's sculpture in marble.
One of the three.
One I've seen the most of.
It's called the Lewis one.
First shown in Lewis 1914.
Puritanical protests.
To It's erotic nature.
I too was influenced.
By Rodin's.... the Kiss.
Part of my sex education.
Get a firm grip.
An arm round my neck.
Go in for a full on snog.
Gotta say it worked for me.
But they where naked.
Never got that far.
As a starter...
It was clothed for me.
Rodin's the Kiss.
Turns out to be not quite. ...

I cant cry anymore.
I cant cry anymore.
Used to cry a lot.
Tears flowed.
Monetarily release.
Still the pain persisted.
Like a living hell.
Depression.
The doctors said.
Desperately I took the pills.
Pharmacological I concurred.
Each round of pills, different effects.
Seeing things in a diff perspective.
Round & round so many times.
Losing count, how many cycles.
Depression eased.
Unable to cry.
Other side effects as well.
Much less of me.
I found art or art found me.
An identity felt i acquired.
Someone once...

Happy face.
Cold stone pavements.
Streets twittens and paths.
Down the hill.
A bite in the air.
By houses.
Discarded trees.
Festival season over.
A bonsai tree.
In a camper van.
Down to the pub i go.
Entering.
Felt the warmth.
Hear the chatter.
Banter & laughter.
I show my.
Happy face.
Streets twittens and paths.
Down the hill.
A bite in the air.

Discarded trees.

The Pendulum.
Today I found a pendulum.
A way down the narrow twittens.
On my way to the park.
Crossing road at the zebra.
It twas beneath my feet.
Didn't recognize at first.
Bending over not backwards.
Cept for the glint of brass.
Would have passed it bye.
A pendulum was in my hand.
Oh I an omen took it to be.
In my head there's been a pendulum.
Rocking to and fro, in my pocket &.
My head a pendulum rocked to & fro.
A way down the narrow twittens.
On my way to the park.
Crossing road at the zebra.
It twas beneath my feet.
Didn't recognize at first.
Bending over not backwards.
Cept for the glint of brass.
Would have passed it bye.
A pendulum was in my hand.
Oh I an omen took it to be.
In my head there's been a pendulum.
Rocking to and fro, in my pocket &.
My head a pendulum rocked to & fro.

The eve of new year 2025
I'm going out not knowing.
Hoping to find some knowing.
This year has been a trike.
Hoping next years betta.
Or at least no worst.
Through there's room
A plenty for betta.
For me and all others.
Other year...
lured by a lover.
This time last year.
Future promising looked.
Lover left me.
Off with my best friend.
Oh I do miss the fella... lol.

The Fairies in the Fog
Walking home last night.
A fog eliminated the view.
Replacing all colours with a grey hue.
Tabula rasa moment.
I'm in the zone.
My mind thoughts & words mingle.
In that place, jumbled yet unformed.
Words painting visual imagines.
Of eclectic hues and colours.
Sky and clouds became a canvas.
Primed in gray tones.
Silhouettes back lit by street lights.
The world desaturated.
Devoid of colour.
Gray on grey on gray. ...

Red Polka dot & blue
I met some ladies last night.
Two and three.
One in red, polka dot & blue.
The later was so friendly.
To her friends I was welcomed too.
I asked the beatitude, why?
She replied cause you.
You looked so friendly too.
I thought I'd gone home alone.
Awaking in the morn.
Throwing the duvet aside.
I happened to glance back.
There they were.
Lying side by side.
One in red, polka dot & blue.
Memories of last night.
Came flooding back.
Of red, polka dot & blue.

Moment of clarity
I'm sitting here.
Writing this down.
Knowing my thoughts are fleeting.
This thought that's come to mind.
I'm feeling ok.
No cares in the world.
Cause I'm not missing you.
Thruth. Had a drink.
A toke & a snort.
Mellow as the fiddlers three.
Like a pirate walking the plank.
Who's mate's donated rum rations.
Danced a jig on the plank did he.
As along he jigged to the end.
I'm not walking the plank.
I'll be alive tomo. Mañana.
I've been happy for a brief moment.
A rest bite...

Maroon.
Sparklie.
Cystels.
Chuck-berry red.
Set in silver.
Did'nt fly away.
I saw.
I looked.
Settled in my hand.
A thing of beauty.
Gift not for me.
Perhaps another?
No one.
Came to mind.
After a time.
It adorned.
My hat.
Till one day.
It Flew away.
Landing.
On another.
A hat of such.

Pleased.
It found another.
I was sad.
It had left me.
Yet grateful. ...

Christmas day 2024
Started not with a snowy winter's.
Wonderland dream's
Rather a foggy hazing vista.
Yet it felt Ok & it felt right.
Getting endorphin hit from the view.
Aware I'm feeling so good.
In that I'm ok your ok kinda way.
Every Christmas has been different.
But I'v really loved today.
Spent with the love'st friend.
Who's trust and love.
I'll treasure beyond the grave.
