As is so often I am in my own company, solitary, alone on the balcony, calculating the odds as to how God’s going to receive me and believe me when I say, it’s not going good for me, well, not if Old Nick gets his way, such are the things that occupy my mind…

Joy

The club
the lookout looks out and sees through stone eyes the sunrise the sunset yet nothing moves him. There is no warning the earthquake will come the red tiles will fall the lookout will see it all and say nothing. we go on trying living dying statues see everything…
All’s well that…
When you had that first inkling saw the light twinkling in the eyes of your beholder when he told ya what he told ya and how old were ya then? How you built your fortifications and how his frustrations built. before we both knew the years flew away and here we are today together…
Resignation
Stepping over drunkards who sang their psalms into the cracks that fell through sidewalks, (he talks with spirits) I settled in the corner seat on the high street deli’ which sells salt beef on rye and watched the world go by as one is wont to do. An hour or two…
The visitors
Looking at lilacs as the hour of midnight comes near and like my poetry, unclear, but I write, And on the podium where opium is a pipe dream I lean into the light that I see. Me! screamed someone I knew and it was me. Always damn daffodils always them…
The toffee tree
It’s the end of the days light just before the night drops in when you can hear a pin fall and the cats call that I like the most, that’s if you’re interested at all. And it’s the same in the morning when dawn creeps along with the shadows which makes my spine tingle that…
Eleven steps
When I become the colours of the sun that shine through Autumn and her hair I will be there in every rainbow watching rain blow with the wind. Willing back the sand that drops so casually from the glass she holds within her hand, I stand with my arms outstretched, my head…
Unfinished
Standing in line and just a wait to be connected something feels fine so I guess I’ve been directed to where the grass grows green to where I’m going to be living the dream and the operator says, in a moment I’ll be with you you’ve waited long enough to get what I’m going…
Timeless
Doing very well, so, who’s looking in the mirror at a ne’er do well? the twain do meet along the path. The sun cleaving its way through the covering of cloud. The morning shouting the day out loud. doing very well thank you very much…
Algebra
The first rule is read the rules (only fools don’t) then if you don’t like them disregard them, The World is owned by a very few men who make these rules to satisfy them. of course you must have a code something to live by as you travel life’s road, …
Bikini atoll
Underneath the cardboard sheets crashed down on the concrete streets, the heart still beats the mind engages the mouth rages at the injustice done for some who do not see that could have been you it used to be me. Summer arrives. warmer now no need for the duvet of…
The fifth horseman
To prise my eyes wide open only to close them once again, nothing is as it ever was except for the blasted rain. If I walked though haunted cities that are castles in my mind to find my dreams could be colourful, but realise I am colour blind. Sunday and the…
Croquet players
We’ll string it out until they string us up. Brexit is old hat, but never mind that what about Notre Dame? What about the Christians? what about the Jews? what about the ones who pray to whatever god they choose? How did Darwin figure it out and what does it mean to me? if a…
Loading, please wait
I’m just wondering if there’s a space or a place where they go, where what go? well, where do all the posts and tweets go that are unavailable? Is there an acceptable repository for what Facebook and Twitter don’t want you to see? or is it just me being nosey?…
Half price
You overrate the up to date and leave me out of date alone., but ‘Billy no mates’ has the weekend free and the gates are open wide. Step inside, why don’t you, see what I see, like the view? Disregard that life’s too hard and sit upon the easy chair open up your peepers and…
Catch 22 and a quarter
Just look at how they leave me with no WIfI OR TV and with no food to feed me I think I might starve. Until Zen I shall bleed a bit and then when they come home they’ll moan about the mess…
Suspicious male
It could go either way on any other day, but today’s the day it goes that way, I’ve been that way and this way could have been another way on any other day. but I’m missing her, the one I share things with, the one who gives me the reasons to live. The sun comes…
