I'm Pink, But Wish I Was Green
Iwas quite pink at birth
There were other babies
With different shades
The curious thing
Was we were all mute
But sweetly cute
As we wondered who would 'adopt' us
Being pink was good
A popular colour, or so i heard
Yet we were never adopted alone
We were almost identical,
And would normally be sent off in groups,
At about 20-30 at a time
As we were all bundled together
Heading to our final destination
We became quite fearful
And all turned to jelly
Especially
When my black friend
Was chosen first ...

Gaia The Elf
In a lonely boudoir
On the other side of town
Off a dark desert highway
With no room to frown
Lived an elf
She wandered
And oft wondered
About the meaning of life
Forty-two for her
Wasn't the answer
An answer she could never quite clarify
But still
She asked the questions
Yet until now
Had never found the answer
So she took to drinking mead
And occasionally smoking stuff
And cogitating
The ways of life
And the unpredictability
Of time, and space
Oft looking into her mirror
And seeing...

Melodies in my mind
Let me take you on a journey
Through music, space and time
From acid house to jungle
I plan to break your mind
Can you feel that bass line
Can you feel this beat
All these musical implements
Make me move with heat
Let me spin a lyric
Let me loose inside the rhyme
Play me all your breaks and boogies
From jazz, rock unto grime
Now let me take you through the score
Treble clef, to bass beyond
Sounds and rhythms ring in your ears
Yet where do they belong
Cry out the chords to...

Magical Moonlight
Beautiful moon tonight
Perhaps it was wearing socks
Speaking a magic of long gone days
No screeching of the fox
One day, when full
Maidens' growth, wisdom knowledge
Fill her wising eyes
A honeyed moon collage
The mind drifts off, as off it drifts
When the moon is not looking
Like a cuckolding hen
Pirouetting
The moon became quite quiet, and sullen
Drunken pixies running amok
Silhouetted with the gathering fairy folk
Life seems like an illusion

Hazy Dazy Days
Awaiting for my mead
It still hasn't come
Perhaps instead heed
I could of had rum
Or vodka, and coke
Ot maybe
Something interesting to smoke
Or reminisce
In an Absynthe daze
Gently floating
Like a puffball cloud
In a surreal haze
My bottles of mead are delivered
They cost alot of money
But they taste so nice
Of alcoholic sweet honey

Wombatty
The life, and times of a Womblebat
Half Womble, half bat
Underground
Overground
And also the belfry
Womble, large hairy things
Yeti like
Bats, Small skinny things
Mouse like, with wings
How they came to mate
Is currently unknown
But it has been suggested
That a lone wolf Womble
Wandered into a local church
Drank a few bottles of communion wine
Then took a fancy
To a bat
And thus
After an unknown period of time
The first Wombat was born
No further information
Is currently available

Wink Wink Wine
Eyelashes
so long
Seagulls could nest on them
Eyelashes
so wide
That dolphins could dive of them
Eyelashes
so thick
That they had the intelligence
To peel a grape, and turn it into wine!

Emma Pavlova
Emma Pavlova
Nearly always
Ran hot, and cold
She was lovely
And not very old
On her 90th birthday
She was given
A basket of fruit
She got fruity with a 70 year old
That she found quite cute
Their romance
Was short lived
As Emma moved to Spain
Her lover meanwhile
Dated a walnut
Somewhat nutty, and declared insane
Emma Pavlove, was always lovely
I delight every time i meet her
Although when i do
I can't resist
The temptation
Of wanting to eat her
She filled both...

You’re there but everywhere
You’re there but everywhere
Inside and out
In me, without me
Anywhere I go
You’re here and nowhere
All of the time
Near yet so far away
Present in my mind
Within me, without me
All in one place
Never yet always
Always in this space
In this place
You’re all around me
In this world
I have no doubt
You’re up there
Looking down on me
Everywhere
All the time
These sensations
They grip me
Like a vice
Grasped so tight

The Lady Vanishes
Last night, in a dream
I purchance
Met my perfect partner
It was love at first sight
Yet, after much talking
It seemed as though
We'd been together
Forever
She went to the loos
And didn't return
I was deeply puzzled by this
And wondered if i'd completely misread the situation
I watched the door for a while
Then asked for someone to check if she was okay
But there was no-one there
All the loos were empty
I was obviously further puzzled, as there was no back door
Maybe i'd been lost in some waking dream? ...

Many masks
We are wearing many masks
Many faces, such a task
We are warping an illusion
Through many realms and much delusion
Let there be no confusion
This life we have all choosen
To be part of such illusion
We lose our minds but keep on choosing
Now what here takes your fancy
In this here reality
Tell me what you can sense and see
Trapped inside our own paralyses
Through these spaces and this rhyme
We are playing all the time
With our words and with these sounds
Makes one wonder if we’re real
Many faces, such a task
We are warping an illusion
Through many realms and much delusion
Let there be no confusion
This life we have all choosen
To be part of such illusion
We lose our minds but keep on choosing
Now what here takes your fancy
In this here reality
Tell me what you can sense and see
Trapped inside our own paralyses
Through these spaces and this rhyme
We are playing all the time
With our words and with these sounds
Makes one wonder if we’re real
