Study in black



Round and round
down and down
the abyss beckons.
Dark and darker
round and rounder
falling
free falling
no soft landing.
Sickness, motion sickness
pain without gain
tumbling to oblivion.

Il pleut



the rain it rains
I listen
it's pouring down
perhaps I’ll drown
drip, drip
pour, pour
drip, drip
I listen
it brings forth life
it summons death
drip, drip
pour, pour
drip, drip is its repartee
drip, drip it’s my therapy

Þy curious – letter þorn



Is it a P or is it a Y?
Or is it simply neither?
Ye old word of Anglo

the y that is
not a Y.

So content

I stopped the world



I stopped the world,
I got off,

I thought they’ll be another one along in a wee while.
And, there was, so
I got back on again.

Heads or tails (BPFMP Nº5)



Wishing well are you for real?
I threw a coin into the murky depths
Plop!
Eyes shut tight and fists clenched in hope
I made a wish

I am sure that when most people
Make a wish
They wish for:
Vast fortunes or good health
Frustrated men for beautiful women
Visa versa
But being of a ‘foolish’ nature
I decided not to be so selfish
Unless of course
Wishing for:
Universal peace, freedom
Equality and food for all
Is being selfish

Because it would make me happy
It would make millions happy

I can see slogans saying
“Love Rules OK”
As i wait for a bus
The bus arrives
Someone stands on my foot
In a race for seats
My heart cries

Times four










May the fourth be with you,
  as the old joke goes.
Yet I still need to say it.
Perhaps because,
  or because perhaps,
  like Skywalker I believe that,
  eventually good will out.
