A STRANGER’S HAND

I saw a stranger’s hand
reaching out
to give or to receive
I cannot say but
it was attached to
my arm
either way

I STILL DON’T KNOW

You said she knew
I fancied her
the Woman in Red
Miss Divine
all those years ago.

Maybe if I knew that
she knew I might
have known that
others knew too
and that
would have made
all the
difference

A DAY IN PARADISE

Would you part with gold
for a day in Paradise.
Don the leaves of Adam or Eve
follow the path to Shangri-La
betwixt the twin peaks.
Your dreams with vivid visions of
horizons and paradise lost
Xanadu is calling if
you open your screaming heart.
Would you part with gold
for a day in Paradise.
I say that you are already there
open your eyes
let go of the fear
the gold you seek
is everywhere.

I DON’T BUT STILL DO

I don’t speak Maths
but still I programme
miniature computers
till the night is
dawning

I don’t speak Music
but still sing in the shower
and dance the mambo
with a head full of
loudness

I don’t speak Poetry
but still I stack
word upon word to try
to convey my world
to you

Poetic Justice – Friday 4.05 a.m.

My eyes barely
OPEN
I look but cannot see
CLEARLY
your meaning
The subtleties of
Wording
No insults as far as
I can’t see
Better reread them
ALL AGAIN
over breakfast
Coffee steam
and toasties
POETIC JUSTICE
deserves

ALL AND NONE

A Pawn in the
Binary clash of
Chess

A Pretender in the
Perpetual game of
Life

A Seeker of the
Absolute truth through
Words

I am all – and none

PRIMED

Raised among thieves

and stray-dogs

Hardened by fires in

cities on flame

Sharpened the skills on

fields of death

Primed and ready for

anything – but Her
