FIRST OF JUNE
Legend a rumor puts shame to my name
As the Kingsmen sing it every day
They still get paid as it fades with age
First of June
I am still the same
But everything is new
Sharing my birthday with flag fondling tyrant
Don't want to be associated with that
My conception is a good reason for calibration
First of June
I just want to hear that new tune
Just want to feel that muse

Eye Of The Storm
Eye Of The Storm
The black clouds gather
Heavy rain drops splat
There is iron on your tongue
The bitter taste of storm
Head thick with thunder
White light splits the sky
The trailing crack rattles windows
A cat cowers beneath a bush
Shivering in its fear
The deluge follows
Straight javelins of rain
You lift your head back
As the heavens empty
Water fi...

The inkwell was full of pulsating excitement
hitting the right notes in music a...

60’s women, short skirts, knickers
Don’t look now in Blackpool
The man selling sand is here again
What comes before?
Silent silver surfing by the sea
Falling into the past
Looking back, we see clearly.
Footprints in the sand of disbelief
Nowhere to fly across...

June Collage Poem - Negatives
Riots in another Eden, Eve’s tearful funeral,
Her truth was a lie and was all about Eve
Caged across anonymous affairs
Over poetic contexts in fragmented narratives
Through expectant open-mouthed pockets where paradise
Would never be the same again
Eve has escaped the serpent
But not its bite, she chases the dragon now
The blackened souls will always rule,
But not i...
