From the morning papers
We read the woman, a former actress
who stole a prince and was hated by the kingdom
is a duchess selling jam and pottery
Her husband, the prince, looks bewildered
We also notice the woman who was
prime minister, for a very short time found
crawling things on the carpet, given
its former occupant, this was not surprising
The woman with her short reign has
written a book, in the hope of being regarded
as something more than a misses Bean
laying her awkward talent bare in The USA
My view ...

national day
National day
25 of April Portugal's
national day
It so happened my ship, birthed that day
a night Lisbon didn't sleep
Great Jubilation
whores gave their wares for free
thieves didn't steal
and the bar owner splashed brandy.....
generously into your glass
I came back onboard five in the morn
waving a Portuguese banner

Breaking Confidence
Breaking Confidence
I trusted in an old friend in some casual conversation
Understanding certain things are said in confidence
When I say “entre nous” I really mean it stays between us
It should be a pact to be honored with vigilance
And when I heard my words being echoed months later
From a different person and from a different city
I put the pieces to that puzzle when I made the connection
I felt betrayed and I all thought was “what a pity”
I felt hurt that the very thing I didn’t want to be divulged
Ran through the ears of...

rural sunday
Rural Sunday
I sat on a milk ramp by a road
that has not suffered the indignity
to be covered in a black trickle
Sunday!
the sky was eternally blue
I could
standing up, see the sea
the water was azure as well
is azure deeper blue than the sky
or is it a word used by poets in
the hope he will sound romantic?
Fed up sitting there, but I sat
wanted to see a drifting cloud
the immaculate sky
a tall ship crosses the ocean for a while
balance on the horizon
sailing upside down
till it sank under the weight...

Loop
Sometimes I think
I already forgot your name
then I hear the rustle of leaves
and that wind so jealous
pulling your hair
and reminding me of your voice
everything in the stones spells your name
everything in the fire supposes your eyes
water boils and air evaporates
just to make me remember
that I can't forget you
I turn to the side and try to ignore the light
ineffective attempt to lull my sleep
to dissolve me into an eternal dream
lullabies that I never sang
that I never heard from you
I want...

rainbow nation
Rainbow nation
It rained and rained, fine rain but persistent
mountains dissolved, and rocks turned into sand
When the rain stopped, a smooth landscape
of peace and camel dung
Before the deluge, people who had sinned were
stoned to death since this was no longer
possible the sinner had to eat a kilo of carrots
until they turned orange and
were not invited to dinner
or supervised at the supermarket
The authorities thought this was a good idea and
made a color program,
to better classify
left-wingers

The entrance to winter has been slow this year
and I don’t know how to think
patterns and behaviours
have a way of repeating
repeating
grey haze of the sky clear evidence
that it’s too dark to see anything clear
all the therapy in the world
and I’m still trying to figure out the Fibonacci sequence of a broken heart duct tape won’t heal
some days I wish I could bury my aches
then sell the ground to be consecrated
by a priest that drinks too much
and doesn’t believe
because it’s all nothing...

I Am Heaven
It is finally your judgement day
And yes I know you were human
But you were given choice and free will
And so many opportunities
Your actions and decisions
Were ultimately yours alone to make
So I have to ask you
Did you respect the universe
And the beauty and majesty of this creation
Did you value your time or ignore the light
And allow darkness to fill your mind
Were you consumed by greed
And other temptations
How did you embrace mother nature's warnings
How did you redeem yourself
Before father time caught up...

The Bumblebee
He grew up in a poor household, thought
sofa-beds were the norm, but his mother
an eager reader had many books that were
given and sometimes stolen, often from
those who thought books were decorations
beside a blue vase of flowers.
like many from, poor families, his mother was
A communist, at the time, the only party who
defended the working class.
This was the case until the labor party with
money (possibly dollars) and relentless
propaganda ended the communists' power
When his schooling ended after...

I Am Redemption
You've hit rock bottom
You need to be saved
Seven deadly sins have devoured your soul
You still fell further
Mother nature warned you
You still haven't listened
I can deliver you from your sins
I can give you salvation
Atonement
But do not take me lightly
Do not test my patience
I am your second chance
A chance to change the course of your life
Your journey
Do not lie to me
Or yourself
I can see your true intentions
I am redemption
You must earn my respect
You must believe in me
And have...

the forest man
The forest man
He had bought a cabin in the woods near a lake
he planned to go there after his divorce
with no demand on his time, life would be simpler
first of all, he needed a dog, the one he had
was a poodle, his ex-wife could take the mooch
he needed a strong dog that could feed itself
catching rabbits in the glen
The cabin only had one room, a big room he could
make a kitchen in a corner, for the he needed
a hand pump and dig a Hole for a cisterna.
bedroom and living room together was ok, he had
a sofa bed but needed...

Redemption!
By Stanley Collymore
The ultimate realization that
what you were essentially
happily doing all along
and not giving a real damn about the
consequences which your distinctly
selfish actions were simply having
on others was literally wrong; had
to stop; rather genuine apologies
made; and, quite unquestionably
also, new actually crucially clear
irrefutably, behavioural patterns
which sensibly really undertake
necessary remedial courses of
action constructively and quite
permanently, then undertaken! ...
