Now we are England on our own

Shackles of Europe over thrown

Can we return to pound shillings and pence 

Will we now put up a fence

Will we revert to potatoes with dirt

To half a cucumber not a portion

And also now without caution

Spring not salad onions

But I hear you cry

What about ounces and pounds

I don't regret .. how to deal
With one .. I'm deeply adore
I don't regret how to feel
Someone .. I'm certainly sure

I don't forget .. lonely day
Before we met .. it was so long
I don't forget .. you .. to say
Being alone is really wrong

I don't ask .. about the past
Your past .. has gone .. no return
I want to take you for the best
For me you're my baby born

Bees do have a smell, you know, and if they don't they should, for their feet are dusted with spices from a million flowers. Ray Bradbury

Treasure a desert orchid
Do not classify the sky:
It is the time for bees.
Anybody can name a bee
But can we know it?
Fascists swim in rain or snow
To let us know they glorify the body. 
Pools are deep but silt can do its work.

Ever since I started loving you my dear Allah 

I can't seem to love anyone else other than you

Your love is so fulfilling and satisfying my Rabb

None can please my heart the way it's pleased by you

I'm so much lost in your love, my only Illah

Your love intoxicated me completely my only God

For the ethereal bloodletting

Required to catch a muse, 

Or at the very least,

Catch her in a decent mood. 

But what will it be today?

Of all the things

that you can lose

there's nothing quite as hard

as the losing of your wallet

there's nothing you can do

Another prompt invokes an undesired surge
of thought and fractured scenes,
requiring energy to sort and draw conclusions,
prior to recording in the journal for today.

Time to him resembles auctioning a gem,
the longer it lasts, the higher its price,

where actuaries hold their breath and count.

Thanks to D Knape for the Box of Words

As I was passing by
I came across this online page 
Just random well worn words
no restrictions on their usage

They were left deliberately 
for refurbishment or repair
Free to any good home
that could be trusted with their care

So I gathered them up
and gave them a shuffle around
Now they have a new home

Born in a dusky town,

Was a little girl brown,

Had an invisible crown,

Who was destined to get renowned.

As the time flew,

Trials and Tribulations hit her through,

Poverty and Despair only grew,

But she did not give in to.

Armed with nerves of steel,

Filled with determination and grit,

In a world of ordeal,

She never did quit.

It’s time to fly, 

Like a bird, 

My wings becoming free. 

Stepping among a strange curdled current, 

A sea beneath, 

Arms just out of reach. 

For in the sea, 

Of mind and open eye, 

My world falls dim. 

I guess there is, 

Another way, 

To die and be free again.

A Seashell hollow, 

A sacred branch beneath yellow skin.

And famous people we love to watch -
Should they succeed or should they botch.

A WRITERS LIFE

A writers life, a writers mind

Thoughts bombarding, counting time

You ache to write down what you see

The things you hear, the trapped, the free

Views and opinions, feelings strong

A writer knows not right or wrong

Like military regalia on parade

To lure, to reel the reader in

Moments are changing, perpetually new.

The woman who healed wounds with a kiss,

A group of my neighbours, past middle age,

Run every Tuesday, in the dead of night,

Like the wind to the end of their garden.

Unless you know that most are Generals

Who don't want the place to remain that way.

I live in a golden palace,

Full with the very best of everything:

Shelter, sustenance, a silent welcome;

I never was one for displays of affection

On the occasion of a simply opening door,

Or is that merely an arrogant view?

With ears hissing gently in an empty room

As distant thunder rumbles uselessly.

Red dots on my ears, no current, slow
The river flows, but I'm accustomed

They came with rods and hooks,
bent on their cruelty
Pulling me out of my river,

We would like an ending.

Who is he?

This man I only know up close?

Does he know me? And if so, 

who is this woman, this me he knows?

We have an odd situation, he and I, like a fantasy played out on a stage,

a performance, a curtain call and

then done.

I know the up-close, the heat, the physical

yet when I see him from a cool distance, 

I don't know him.

He becomes someone else with someone el...

We march away into the light...
Blown by winds beyond the sight...
Moving together,sometimes in directions unknown...
Paths in which our generation has grown...
When we are light we fly away..
When we are laden we drench the way...
The ever changing kaleidoscope of our shapes...
We are party to various animal maps..
Playing with the Sun , moon and stars and at times just going away to let ...

Thunder roars through the empty halls

Lost, forbidden, in the dreams of the dead

Desolation descends to answer the call

Of petulance, compunction and dread

The horror of the night, haunts the moon

As it shines on the blackness of life

Earth disembowelled by all it consumes

Distorting truth, fouling Gods paradise

Death reigns hard, as love is defiled

His cloak b...

Everywhere I go

I see pieces of you…

A piece of you in the parking lot

Where we used to meet and chat,

A video clip of you at that burger resto

Walking up to me with the menu.

I find you in my playlists,

The songs you picked for me.

Alone in the car,

Conversations playback.

Shopping at the mall,

You critique my choices.

Even in the shower

I can hear your laug...

Every man that I have ever found attractive

Any man that I loved

They all possessed qualities 

That I already have dwelling within me

Wounded masculine energy

Searching for my daddy in other men

Yet again

I didn’t even know how to be

My own mother

I expected my mother to do the job

Reparent myself

To heal the toxicity 

That kept me from 

Protecting myself

Everything night timed

is subjected to the Moons powdery unfelt dressings

like my welcoming heart and soul

this room embraces

its ghostly white arrival.

Wind bullied clouds have been scattered

their removals allowing the sky

to become one vast deep blue oceanic stage

upon which the stars are free

to show off their glittering performances

but, only ...

When death steal your tomorrow
leaving you with more questions than sorrows
What is life, so fragile, no time to waste
who am I, where do I belong, where is my space?

Memories painting a picture against the wall
trying to make sense of yesterday’s Fall
Some make you smile, some make you cry
there is nothing of yesterday to deny.

As time tempers the Mind and heals the Heart
the Soul is...

A green bud breathing in,

say welcome to your kin,

a promising prospect of evolution,

let it grow as it makes a revelation.

Opening up to the world surrounding,

potential no longer withholding,

a mechanism of nature working its magic,

as mesmerising as a smoldering wick.

Green gives way to different colors,

reaching out tenderly are vivid petals,

blooming be...

Is it fair to not feel normal? 
After 18 years of living sanely?
Am I the one responsible for all this?
Is it here to settle in me?
Is it here to make me fall?
These days it is keeping me awake 
At 3 am, I am feeling restless 
These days I feel like giving up more
Three pairs of eyes stop me though
The feeling is something I have never felt
It is not beautiful 
It is selfish, not wantin...

I learned a long time ago

That the only one I could control

Was myself

I learned to question everything

For better understanding

Of the truth

I learned how to survive

The struggle and the strife

On my own

I learned to appreciate

The blessings on the plate

Set before me

I hate the question where do you see yourself in 10 years

To be frank some days I don’t see myself being here

Weather I am the one to pull the trigger

Or a spare of the moment accident

is the one to cause me to take my final breath

I believe in my final breathes I could peace within myself

But there are some days

where I just want to say that only happiness will be in my life

Such jubilation every time a vessel

debarks a new contingent at the port.

So much relief when loved ones, wrested apart

for long, lone months are free again to nestle 

cheek to cheek, to hug and kiss, to jostle,

guiltlessly mingling among the singing throng,

siblings swinging siblings, making rings

to dance till dawn with no one a virus’ vassal.

Ravenous variants infes...

Waiting rooms,

needles in the bin,

all quietly 

contemplating.

Waiting rooms

with pictures:

bullet points 

and ticks and crosses.

Places to remake 

dark futures,

by turning them 

into new projects.

Maybe one more year

living without fear 

thinking of something else,

crafting new prospects.

Remaking the soul

in a clay oven 

having been

Do not wake me in the middle of the most beautiful dream,
in the middle of the slight accent on your eyes,
in the middle of the heart, overwhelmed by strong emotions.
Do not wake me in the middle of the most beautiful dream,
there is no music in the world of the deaf,
there is no light in the world of the blind,
there is no freedom in the world of prisoners,
in the world of the cold there i...

A BEATING HEART ONCE COLD 

Once still, black and preserved. Numb to all of the strife it has been through. Words of prayer to move on through and through. 

Was it me this time or again was it you? 

This organ here they call a heart they say it beats, yet mine is so....so still, trying to catch a rhythm of happiness, a moment of strength or even a screenshot of tranquility.

It has a bea...

Sylvie

Sylvie was a comely wench. Fifty, if a day

Oh yes, her charms were obvious, and always on display

Dressed to kill, in leather and lace

A shapely body, bonny face

Her hunting ground The Royal Oak

She’d always find a younger bloke

A teacher with a lack of scruples

Never short of willing pupils

Life was good, the sex was hot

She was happy with her ...

PREFERENCE

_________

Statuesque.

Beautiful.

Exotic.

High-maintenence.

Men from all quarters would

Slay each other to the death to

Get close enough to

She of milk-like pallor, shadow

Painted lips, shadow

Painted nails, flowing hair and

Garments that compliment her supple shape,

Fine-boned corset that embraces her

Ribs tightly, all black

As evening w...

I thought lucidly as I watched him

smile, I'm constantly reminded of hers too.

What a broken society.... pressured by time

to move on, while grief plastered it.

But, how selfish can one be?

To just move on comfortably.  Honestly,

this society disgusts me. I feel nothing

but misery and pity.

This modern society is misguided

and lacks dignity. You must believe

The shadows of sepration are begning to fade

The darkness of loneliness is fading,

The heart is bright in you memory

The winds are blowing,

Moments are begning to smell in you memory

who shattered the aspirations,

His sharf-edged is dagger

Waiting anxiously.

My mind is saturated with sadness, 

Whilst my heart is flooded with pain. 

As my life force drowns in the world’s madness, 

My soul floats between the physical and the astral plane.

We are the Morecambe
The Shrimps to you
We are heading to Wembley
With a job to do
Our opponents are Newport County AFC
And they stand in our way
We have a mountain to climb
But the dream is still alive okay
It's the play off final yes indeed
A positive result is what we need
The game is on and we come alive
Ninety crazy minutes will we survive
The clock ticks down the time has gone

"Multitude of Soles"

A big giant gong appears in the square
With a poised rugged look
Like a blood-thirsty armoured tank.

The gong began to beat itself,
Soon feet began to gather
Quickly they turned into a marching army.

The din of their liberation cry
Was heard far and wide
Drowning every sense of serenity left.

The young and old,
The heroes past and heroes now,
Rage and fate ...
