Amalgamate!
The Muse will come and the Muse will go
Often for several days at a time
Contriving thoughts to return and bestow,
Some into rhyme, attentively sublime,
Whereon afflatus I routinely drone
Regarding love in an ornate style
Which no doubt now is so overblown
That scarcely are flirts inclined to smile!
But stranger to me is the verse that's free,
Like motorways without any rules,
And vulgarity obligatory...
Except from the nerds from private schools!
So few can handle the mixing of brows
Whenever the...

Ode to Welsh Cakes
O pancakes fruity and floury, o!
I love thee so much that I won’t even toast,
so eager am I to unwrap thee and lo,
engage my taste buds coast on coast,
attacking all my battlements
with currents oh so sweet.
I’ve not been fed by sacraments
like these, nor nibbled Welsh sweetmeats
and buns as big and thick and round,
since visiting the rugby grounds.
I love thee so much that I won’t even toast,
so eager am I to unwrap thee and lo,
engage my taste buds coast on coast,
attacking all my battlements
with currents oh so sweet.
I’ve not been fed by sacraments
like these, nor nibbled Welsh sweetmeats
and buns as big and thick and round,
since visiting the rugby grounds.

Deep Underground Poetry
Deep Underground, my haven of verse,
A place where my poetic soul can immerse.
Where words flow freely and emotions ignite,
And fellow poets share their inner light.
With every line, I feel more alive,
A community of poets who help me thrive.
A space where creativity knows no end,
And we can all be ourselves, our truest friend.
Deep Underground, I sing your praise,
For being a platform that never betrays.
A place where I can express and create,
And find inspiration, no matter my state.
Thank you, DU, for being my...

Moving
Blunt streaks of sweat thumb-pressed across the buttoned collar—
white with a tinge mark of a proud scent.
Crinkling around the placket in a vice-grip,
with hands ripping away.
Strings unwind their whitewater seam to the end where buttons pop out the mouth of flappy tails.
I'll take this shirt with me
from the body of the latest flop—
sewn and resewn for the form of the next attempt
patched out in familiar fabric with the emblematic dye of my domain.
white with a tinge mark of a proud scent.
Crinkling around the placket in a vice-grip,
with hands ripping away.
Strings unwind their whitewater seam to the end where buttons pop out the mouth of flappy tails.
I'll take this shirt with me
from the body of the latest flop—
sewn and resewn for the form of the next attempt
patched out in familiar fabric with the emblematic dye of my domain.

Awakening
Dew is covering my garden,
As an invitation to open my eyes
Virtuous nature that thinks of me
Irresistibly I am drove to you,
Devoted and delighted
As an invitation to open my eyes
Virtuous nature that thinks of me
Irresistibly I am drove to you,
Devoted and delighted

There is No Need... (Fahrenheit 451 Part 3)
There is no need for self-expression”
First they banned them then they burn them
Dystopian futures can be just signatures away
They don’t want the masses to dwell in knowledge
They are afraid the people will seize the day
“…There is no need for creativity…”
The battery runs smoothly behind the pit
The cityscape changes with each rudiment
The firemen chase and throw books away
Setting them ablaze through every movement
“…There is no need for enlightenment…”
Their faces are full of soot and sweat
But...

The cityscape changes with each rudiment
The firemen chase and throw books away

Before I Take My Leave
Before I take my leave
I believe I owe many of you here a proper farewell
Though is customary to bereave after one’s departure
I conceive that the burden of memory falls on your shoulders
After I take my leave
But before I take my leave
We must all agree we’ve had some great times together
The compositions I conceived on this side of the universe
Surely must’ve achieved a footnote in some of your memories
After I take my leave
Yet before I take my leave
Understand I’m somewhat relieved to know my time is near
I appreciate...

Crystalin Water
An old Friend's Poem," one of her best " 2017."
Crystaline water
cleanse my cluttered mind
weaving your coarse
leave the chaos behind
Riparian retreat
where willows embrace
finger leaf trails
shows a rippling trace
In mirrored depths
your secrets abide
the predators hunt
the hunted, hide
Amorphous shadows
neath diaphonous stream
caught for a moment
by incandescent sunbeam
Prowling...

St Patrick’s Day Blessing
May dawn’s hope quell midnight’s fear
May wonders spark and blocks disappear
May each moment renew
May your soul always glow
May poetry bless you
Wherever you go
May wonders spark and blocks disappear
May each moment renew
May your soul always glow
May poetry bless you
Wherever you go

Because life
The world wants to tell you
exactly how to be
what you should think
how you should feel,
it doesn't simply apply to age
by the way
you can teach the old
something new
everyday,
what the world won't tell you
is that your body
will dance to a beat
that belongs
only to you,
it bends and breaks in ways
you will never be able
to encapsulate
into simple
wording
because life,
can turn around
any moment
and say
everything
you grew up
to believe ...

Holding Hands
Just a squeeze
To say that I'm here
Either "with you" or "for you"
Speaking to each other
But without making a sound
Holding on to this shared moment with interlocking fingers
Passing wordless messages
(I like you)
(Glad you're here)
between like minds who like each other
Letting the slipping, sliding motions of slick fingers suggest ways to touch each other even more
Once we find time and space alone
Practicing pleasurable pathways to tactile paradise
Performing ritualized romance by...
