Song of Spring
There is a subtle change in sunlight now
perhaps bringing an echo of a spring
and a much more bustling sound now around
the various garden birds as they sing
within the barren bareness of the trees
but, there's a softer lightness in the rain
falling on the snowdrops in the browned green
of last year's grass as the crocuses strain
to bring their colour into this new light,
as I finish making my cup of tea
and return to my warm bed of the night
with Sally-cat in paw step beside me,
So my little lovely let's...

Wish
I have a great need to be young again
O take pity on me great God above,
I wasted all those years, d'ye nay ken'
O merciful one please show me some love,
Do you remember how nice I could be
when I was just about... seven or eight?
please show your greatness take pity on me
it wasn't my fault that I began to hate,
Life twisted me, gave me this killer rage,
please send me back so that i can be good,
don't stop the clock, just give me that clean page,
I'd be ever so grateful, if you would,
I need to to repeat myself,...

The Gallant Beaus
She piles greasy grub onto greasy plates
curlers in her hair fag stuck in the mouth,
she's known as greasy Joan by all her mates
two wrinkled stockings both, going, down south,
They clatter in full of the cheapest beer
''wotcha darhlin, gan on, flashus yer tits,
egg'n chips orl rahnd, tea, bread, be a dear,
loadsa money but the lowest of wits,
She shakes chips, stirs tea, butters bread, fries eggs

As if.
He comes round with his window cleaning gear
whistling some well known bohemian air
wears gold earrings, his street cred' is so dear,
and he runs up his ladders like they're heaven's stairs,
Tanned and sleek, full of self confident wealth
he asks, ''shall I do you now, madam, sir?''
rippling muscles, bouncing about with health
with a chest full of black gorilla fur,
He cleans windows just like an athletic cat
he stalks those streets as if he's on a hunt
but I know the repertoire, all the chat,
and the sleazy way he...

The Fierce Flame
When my sun goes down into that strange west
and my thoughts sink away beyond my eye
and dimness creeps on at the grave behest
of the grim reaper's not so subtle sigh,
If I have strength left at my going, dear,
to be able to raise up one final praise
to show that my love was nothing near mere
but a passion within some tender craze,
But in me now I have such a fierce flame
bordering on an apoplectic rage
that Satan itself if called by its name
couldn't drag me away to its soulless page.
And my final praises, of...

a Green toad
My fickle thought strays across that vast void
the teaming maelstrom of my inner space
where dark spots at all cost I must avoid
there, lie beasts who'd grip me in strange embrace,
Should I engage with these unfortunate beasts
allowing sympathy to be aroused
and offer up an aged barren teat
as mother, so their passion can be doused?
But I guess at best it would be a mistake
to allow these out to give myself to their reign
but they torture my mind I do so ache
these nightmares of daytime cause me great pain.

Her loving Parts
My love reigns supreme in her loving parts
I see it in her golden eye and smile
we hasten to each other from being apart
in her soft tenderness she has no guile,
But she has an other place I can not reach
some secret spot where sometimes she will fly
within there she has no sight, thought or speech
if she stays in there then surely i'll die,
I have no choice but to hold her, just so
till her eye flutters open into light
and her nose suffused with her golden glow
and again we enjoy our silent night.
My Sally-cat, we...

Gin 'n' Sonnet
I once walked alone in the burning sun,
Felt her scornful kisses upon my face.
False charm rendered me totally undone,
While doing its best for the human race.
Guilty pleasures left me basking in sin,
And out in the cold, in need of a loan.
Couldn't help some days but reach for the gin,
Then fall to the floor, all there on my own.
The sun wore on as I whistled a song,
Dragging me wherever I had to go.
Courage takes time when it's miles too long -
Each miserable step, each wretched blow.
How much did the sun really...

Then fall to the floor, all there on my own.
The sun wore on as I whistled a song,
Dragging me wherever I had to go.

Each miserable step, each wretched blow.

Sabine
You yielded as I carried you away
My comely captive, stolen from your kin
Your eyes so bright, you blushed under my gaze
With charm, dark hair, and alabaster skin
I’ve claimed your plundered beauty as my prize
My comrades coveting your naked form
Though timid, you stand tall and dignified
Your future As A Roman now confirmed!
With haste I’ll kiss those lips as sweet as wine
To make you My Minerva or Athene
And take you as my wife or concubine
Forget your former life as a Sabine!
I sense ambitious yearning in your soul—
The best...

Questions
Are you being prepared for bed, when kist
will you resist an insistence of he
to quicken his lust, will he grip a wrist
and the daddy be, to undress his she?
He strips off your clothing in ownership
and in doing so is he owning you,
perhaps in this ownership clothes get ripped
but, of course, this is love, and his love's true?
After these few, preliminary acts
a bruise or two, well' 'tis foreplay
and a loving man will bestow love's smacks
to keep his interest for one more day?
Rough love bouts might be a...

Life sings to life
Far away on the lands so far,
Our hands clasped at the eleventh hour,
Love escaped our lips as we parted love,
Life nictates a crippling affliction of life.
Remedy this sally through thy remedy,
Cry out to our blithe life as we both cry.
Pledge me a gift as a parting pledge,
Break away thy pledge and so shall we break.
Life of mine makes a plea to thy life,
Forget me my love for I cannot forget,
Loath me my love for I cannot loath,
Live for me my love for I cannot live.
Reminisce the memories that we reminisce. ...

Hitchhiking
When i was young and green I'd thumb for lifts
and travelled many miles in strangers cars,
when someone stopped i'd clutch at this free gift
with their welcoming, '' Hop in, going far? ''
But these became true-confessional booths
Me? their gauche fresh-faced priest at seventeen,
My robes? the Queen's uniform this dress soothed
and encouraged the expression of, dreams.
It was natural to sit and listen,
not long out of school and a young recruit
and of course their confessions were driven
by the coincidence of our two...
