the birdies are singing a new day is dawning sunlight fans across the land powdered gold lights the treetops nature issues her one command there’s a majesty to every season but summer has reigned since the world first began

morning glory
I’m tumbling out of bed lit up like christmas day swept up on the surging tide of sexual energy deep within our hearts we long for ecstasy a tornado of desperate happiness that sweeps us off our feet when did you last feel euphoric? when was your moment of bliss? teach me how to love you show me what you need because I loved you in the darkness a secret in my soul but now we’re meeting flesh to flesh I’m losing self control

Wonders
my grandfather
that beautiful old man
shared such treasures with me
tales of adventure and discovery
in distant dark continents
and the cycle of the seasons
in the land we called home
he named the constellations
and revealed the golden ratio
at the heart of nature’s symmetry
he always maintained
that the universe was made
of those little treasures
he passed along to me
and that knowledge is a jewel
to be prized beyond riches
he was not a wealthy man
some might call him poor
but when he left this world
he had bequeathed me wonders

Golden Apples
channelling
exclusively
via satellitic intent
this monomaniac
is deeply fixated
on our nearest star
and that’s where
you’ll find him
from now on
lost in an orchard
dazzling bright
stealing golden apples
from the heart of the sun
.

Hungry
that’s me
there face to face with the back of the crowd fetching awkward angles between my toes it’s always seemed that symmetry
eluded me and I was dissolving fractions in a decimal world a feline
soul in a canine cosmos I told a big stripey lie that
painted me a permanent crimson and soaked my banner with piss ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
that was thirty years or so
ago and there’s been plenty of action
under the bridge since then it sometimes feels really late but that’ll be the times I developed humour as a mechanism to lubricate
those rapidly diminishing hours burdens borne with a smile sometimes
feel like blessings in disguise……….…………………………………..
those hooks and punch lines
are mine to own but they aren’t all jokes half of
them are true I hawk them anyway because there
is little else to say people
expect lies in these days of photo-shopped selfies and fictitious biographies so I get away with the odd
deprecating truth as
long as I sugar coat them no one accepts the sour any more their palettes are acclimatised to saccharine
and the soft candy floss of mediocrity……………..…………………………………………..
I stood in a long queue to receive short shrift and a parcel of unwelcome platitudes I’m not complaining mind you I got to where I am by the circuitous route but I got here just the same I’m quite comfy in my hollow and if things are now slower than they once were it’s only because I was speeding in the first place it was always post-haste and frantic stratagems with me I was hungry the way only poor boys are hungry I’m still hungry but it's an old man's hunger
