Dear John
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
Another midnight Dear john letter,
flatters in the morning
before the hand delivery.
She is satiated with this action.
Her intensity met,
another soul is down sized
because of their trusting humanity,
no winners or losers
just a time waster.

ikk
If I were you
and you were me ,
would you make as much sense
as I made of you?
If aye was nay  
what a convoluted situation
it would be.

Apricots
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
I met her picking apricots
from the wayside.
She said her name was Rita,
and she sang sweet songs
to mellow my heart,
where she went afterwards
was only told as a legend.

The Sea Siren
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
the deep ocean
matches your eyes.
I cannot quite fathom their depth,
many soul plundered sailors,
have met their steely death
by the wayside of your smile.

They tried to crush me with boulders
until they built a misshapen temple
to mark my tears,
they tried to chase me with words
until I lexiongrapher
had the last word.

August blossoms
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
August is the slumbering Month
replete  and sated
where colours stay true,
reds flame purely
blues glow coolly.
Whereever the peak crescendos.

Early summer
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
like a novice June appears
with powder blue skies
and the longest day of the year
retains its light,
coupled with those balmy  early evenings.
Delphininuims and oriental poppies
sway jewel like in their dense hues,
while Lupins make their best display.
All at once this early summer gap
gives spring its last abundance.

Blue Note
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
In the stillness of winter,
a blue light comes a shimmering
The World enjoins its inclusion,
as sorrow is banished.

Geeks promise
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
you're too average to marry Meryl Streep
you should use a razor rather than a shaver
too cheap to get out of bed for €10
but at least you've got Leeds
for a cheap bed and breakfast

Gone away
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
Gone are the days we spoke truth
by the river bank.
All your promises were never meant,
and I lament your sudden change
oh you siren;
a wind of remiss.

Crystal Palace
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
At night Georg pangs blue whisper
for the lonely boy's return ,
with a red cloak worn to sunset.
Crimson for the harlots shadow,
and narcassis for the loss of innocence.

Princess
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
our emerald princess
graces the night,
banquets with the Lilly's,
her heart is pure as the snow
no darkness pervades in her
accustomed company.
She dwells by the sea
in her esteemed shell house.

Georg Trakl - a dedication
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
At night Georg snags blue whisper, with a purple cloak worn to sunrise,
the crimson red for the deceased heart.
snags instead of paint

Judging
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
Who are we to judge plants?
a dandelion is only a flower in the wrong place !
Who are we to judge birds?
A pigeon is not a winged rat
it is dispossessed ferternity.
Who are we to judge foxes?
they are land locked creatures of habit.

Tall day
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
the day is as long as you are tall.
the sound of positive encouragement
is never remiss.

The old Smithy
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
The skyline disappears once again
as blackness returns the night.
The outsiders bath in the squalid  moonlight,
abluting their good intentions.
The metamorphosis is complete.
Darkness will reign supreme.
They gather by the smithy
opining with a wild lament .

Lost company
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
My name is Michael O'Brien.
I live in the woods,
with squirrels for my only company.
I've got no need for anyone,
im a crusader for loneliness
although im not the only one.
There's Peter ORaugherty,
who lives in a cave
with rabid bats only for company.

Alone again
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
loneliness is no ones friend,
the sea by yourself,
means you act like the only sailor.
Jun 2018 · 142
i like you
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
Eyes interlocked,
like a M1 car crash
this is the effect you have on me.
Your hips are perfect like a
manquerin,
your moustache like a cad,
but any bad boy behaviour
could lead to a discipline.

santa came a popping
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
Santa Claus was drunk that year,
and all his presents were soggy
no good cheer,
especially as his reindeers were booked for double parking.

Gods waiting room
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
"Steep steps for a cafe"
said arthritic Lucy.
"The **** rain plays it up".
Her husband brought the tea
and 4 slices of bread
to feed to the sea gulls.
Reginald was the husband

Alaska 1896
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
I went through the snow and ice,
with sleatting rain,
to become the class of 96.
Without a woman in sight
we were rats in a sinking ship,
made worse by our task master
taking 50% value.

I am a suggestion about to be sang,
a harpie awaiting the midnight.

a whisper stored hellwards.

Antony Glaser Jun 2018
love is a chance
a blissful surrender,
its a happenstance in the park,
in the gaze of the eyes
so hyptonzing,
a whisper and murmur  of the heart.

Dragonfly Saturdays
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
Dragonfly days
are wishful bucolic  times.
There are blue clouds
to match their wingspan
and cider with Ruby
on merry go rounds,
promises of love
and heirlooms set  aside
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
i am the raging truth
I've been ruthless for eternity .
i am father to a 1000 children
but  begot 100000 more,
what of all your dignity?
now washed on the shore,
i only safe unbelieving sailors
who one day lay in un- lamented  graves,
that i sanctify as my own

bashful maidens drinking pimms
schoolboys stealing strawberries
and Swans swimming around and around

The unsureness of truth

i was once famous
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
I was around when someone shouted "Judas"
to Dylan for going electric.
I was the ink in Paul Simons North of England sound of silence.
I was the muse for David's  "Space Oddity"  all those pink  moons ago.

penny
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
Penelope Tree lived in a house
with servants by the score.
She was already the "it" girl at 16
with luxuriant eyebrows,
for someone like David
who saw her as forbidden fruit.
He made her feel kooky cool
but with the event of teenage acne coming back,
he de- mused her from his company
and now shes zenning her demise
in some fashionable pied a terre

Empathy with the characters is the be all of it.
Your inner voice, the heard sanctum.

Lady Marshmallow
Antony Glaser Jun 2018
Lady Marshmallow
in her thatch hut
scoffs at convention,
she remembers her past lovers,
and with her wax candle
she offers prized thoughts
for their spirits,
with her calico cat Emerald.
Antony Glaser May 2018
I was in the audience when someone shouted Judas to Dylan for going electric.
I was near Paul Simon effected by the airs of dreary northern towns.
I was the ****** you smoked on bequest of some forgotten Zanadu.
I wrote the songs
you merely had to hum them.
