Frankenstein
a wicked little reminder of no importance nagged at me
My thoughts grew cold, and I shut out the feeling
As is my way when something becomes uncomfortable
It has a pesky way of emerging elsewhere
For example, I am confronted with those around me
touching on the topic I'm trying to avoid
Nature herself will speak, making cloud formations
The creator whispers in mysterious ways
Even AI will find my pulse in my computer algorithms
She'll give me helpful little tips I didn't want
Let's just say she diagnoses me
Feeling depressed?...

It's never over
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and prayers 😇 for sure it's never over, because we each share a common bond that goes deeper than deep. For sure we will never forget the deep conversations, and exchange of thoughts and insight and imagination, from stories that we shared as we have lived, in real life times. For sure we will always be family, for family isn't always blood whether we are near or far. But regardless of the reason that DUP will be gone, just like most things have run it's course but yet it was, a blessing in disguise for writers and artists and spoken words...

April Fall
The Scottish court thing
Just in time for Spring
Where i'd hoped to be whiling away the hours
With my head amongst the flowers
When sunny days soon start to feel warm
A time when murmurations of Starlings swarm
Beautiful birdsong, floating on the air
Wonderful, and most debonair
The Cherry Blossoms, comes, and goes
Putting on a magnifiscent show
But the cold weather, replaced by cold hearts
As humanity arrives, then soon departs
I hope i'm not to early to curse
Aprils' not o0ver yet, it could get worse

Achernar Eridanus
Further and farther into the universe
Out into the far and wide unknown
My love feels like it travels across time
Mesmerized and awed but never alone
Into the vast distance where stars burn
Past beginnings and origins of creation
My love explores the stellar heavens
With exhilarating extraordinary elation
Faraway into the utmost reaches of the cosmos
Where even the strongest light hasn’t beamed
My love goes on a journey faster and more distant
To where imagination has not even yet dreamed
Maybe it’s because I love...
Out into the far and wide unknown

Where even the strongest light hasn’t beamed

The End Of Our Journey
I will try & reach the end
To see what I've become
This is the beginning of the end
The end of an era
Let us go to the end
To see what we've become
This is the beginning of the end
The end of our journey
This star once shined so bright
It is now a death star
Some have escaped, others will not
And the countdown to extinction has begun
Will there be new horizons and beyond?
Or is this the end to many of our identities?
It is up to you and only you to make that final decision
To see what I've become
This is the beginning of the end
The end of an era
Let us go to the end
To see what we've become
This is the beginning of the end
The end of our journey
This star once shined so bright
It is now a death star
Some have escaped, others will not
And the countdown to extinction has begun
Will there be new horizons and beyond?
Or is this the end to many of our identities?
It is up to you and only you to make that final decision

A Letter To Mister Hodge Podge (nee; Hotchpotch!)
Dear Mister Hodge Podge (nee Hotchpotch),
I think i may have a solution
To the problem of ablution
Government funded would be fair
To help us in the trans community everywhere
To avoid these current potty issues
We all could have portable portaloos
To avoid crossing our legs, whilst hopping
We'd have our portaloos, for when we go shopping
We could drag them behind us, set on wheels
And thus take advantage of supermarket deals
And cafes, pubs, and clubs, they may not fit
So we could park them outside, if we needed to sit! ...

...and Song
With cadence wove into each breath
true bards must celebrate
fair rhythm up until our death
or equal inert state.
But till that end we live and love
and do the best we can
in sharing all the gist thereof...
blown like the flutes of Pan!
A gourd or reed, or tube of wood,
are only needing lips
to tease the tune that each nymph should...
in their Bacchic courtships!
Where's an Eden better than this...
where we poets belong?
Heaven was always...one long kiss...
of wine, and women, and...

Palliation Eternal. no

Palliation Eternal. no
Finally figured out the WHY,
the dominant reason why in the past
THE TRUTH – the whole of it, uncloaked
never came out while excommunicated
painting a Pariah attempting to seal
in stone with Charges approval
seemingly also, with Creator’s consent ~
Mobs, once they get into a frenzy
a full head of steam, like Lemmings,
Unable to STOP even when facts
laid out upon their repast plates
refuse to accommodate
their fixed notions about what
transpired.

Zoo (Not) Logical
A new addition to the zoo
Currently facing extinction
A wild feral creature
Skittish at times
Wary of humans
The male of this species
Has similar qualities
To that of a chameleon
The female of this species
Can often have a colourful plumage
Yet doesn't often
Share the chameleon qualities
Of her male counterpart
And therefore
Are easier to hunt down
To, perhaps, eventual extinction
There are anomalies
Where, without proper examination
It can be harder to define
Which is which
Which sometimes...

Raving About A Raven
A big black beautiful Raven
Landed on my balcony this morning
It was massive!
I was glad my window was shut
As it looked magnifiscently fearsome!
But wow!
It was less than six feet away from me
It eyed me
With an intelligent curiousity
Decided maybe
That i was to big to eat
And took wing!

Morning Rituals
I lie awake
about ten minutes before the first alarm goes off
thinking about what I’m going to do that day
before I force myself to put on my running shoes
and go into the darkness
after an hour
or about when Clockwork Angels is coming to a close
the feeling of accomplishment Rushes through me
I notice I’m getting slower
and the distances are shorter
but I’m OK with it
after breakfast
after doing the dishes
I down my hot cup of coffee
(with my blood pressure meds)
but my body temperature goes up again ...
