Look at this fucking shit
The world is on a string 
On it's knees, doing gear 
and puking up it's ring

Collective fucking madness
Shouting at the clocks
Unpacking days, marking time 
And shitting in it's box

Perhaps the next β€œThe Diary of Anne Frank” will come from America: a family being hidden in the basements of America until the USA divests itself of fascism.

Let us all hope for a better outcome.

Awaiting the Sun


Remember, the fallen leaves
in the frail end of the day,
must settling on the senses
like slowly falling snow,
as autumn makes it's play. 

Remember the darkened eve
stalking the faltering sun,
lifted then vanquished rays
as the new night prances
upon the embers of a day.

Dream of the new born spring
taking back it's recast crown,
filling morn with nascent dew,
strength growing by the clock,
chasing old and frigid cold away.

Come, my king, the leafy bough
and larking bird in bright song,
regain the day full brought high.
Fill me with your brand new joy
bringing forth your spring bouquet.

Poem about shyness. 

this is the story of a life
part one. 
the birds flew south
marked by the clock
while the man below
governed by chance
jokers wild
met her glance
and upon a vaulting 
beat of the heart
coyly turns 
to spurn 
the worldly ways of love
while up above
the birds flew south
so he berates himself
even a little
hates himself
and when 
a second chance to say,
in a rain-refuge cliche,
fails him again
words of innocent love
from inner voice 
remain a stranger 
to his mouth
while up above
the birds flew south

Poem called Finale about bereavement. 

the ship awaits us all 
invitation to another shore 
upon the final boarding call 
before the dark forevermore 
soon the sails will surrender 
to the course beneath the veil 
we will wave as we remember 
the light before the pale 
taken by the gentle breeze 
we will watch them sail away 
till soon the last of life leaves 
in the dusk of their final day

Poetry about dementia. 

still gold

Once he loved her
like the day loves the sun,
their story shone
with lustful 
and zested life.
They revelled in
their vital lives:
duality served, 
in singular love 
and caress, 
upon a word
or look.

Yet now, 
his stare denies 
her pallid heart and 
remaindered smile.  
Love lives now only
in long laments
for the golden flower,
here in its final hour,
as the weld dissolves,
and the constant
becomes dissonant
once more.

He can't recall her face.
Nor touch, nor kiss,
no moments in joy,
no days of holding,
nor needing her.
No name comes to 
his lost lips,
no smile for her,
save fleeting greet,
and again retreat
to an unfilled mind.

She knows that once, 
the man was hers to hold,
their flower was gold
when love filled their hearts
and minds.
With hopes forlorn that,
perhaps somewhere
in the painful voids
of her lover's old
and crumpled mind,
a petal lies,
still gold.

apologies
can I recall my
ill chosen words
please
they chose me
not I them
a moment of
extraordinary juice
shook them loose
like an open sluice
spitting long
I was wrong
too late now
you're gone

It's all about
the pink.
Think.
Is it me or they
who drives
the things I say?
Do?
Is it you?
Or is it them,
the people who
shout the loudest,
sound the proudest
of their message?
