Remember,
the best things in life are free

...plus tax
...license
...and recycling fee

Ask me not whenceforth
from which place or time I come
from, dear lufu of mine  
Beewolf and seizer of hearts
come-hither at me door Sire

Query onely beau
and without askance kiss me
Like a flowery rose dear
sitting on thy breast sweet love
scented sweetly at your side

Seek me as the root
of all that passions thy soul
Gentle as the winds
that blow gently close to thine
tousled as my wild, wild hair.

Hole in the sky

Black space

Cold-

Tired of rockets
And boots

Moon broke orbit

To the far side
Of Sun

used to be in wales, now all shropshire,
borders. a small town with plenty to do.

qubed gallery quoted poetry, refinely
drawn. one man left standing, my face
collected.

salt in abundance, ready for the pigs
head, he really was making brawn,
ear stuck from the saucepan, with
plans for brains on toast for tea.

i lost earth and heaven,
read greengage summer instead.

First comes the walk
walks are required now
prescribed to ward off
effects of life

getting from here to there
taken for granted
vertical movement
now a task

Next was found
the Underground
home of brews
home of seats

some soft, cushy
others wooden
yet warm, inviting
Come, taste our brew

chairs, sofas
filled with chatting people
mostly women
looking into faces

illuminated screens
across coffee, latte, or tea
communicating
smiles, grimaces

What is shared
humor, news
fears, fraughts, fragments
dimensions of now, the past

people rise to
pick up special steaming
drinks fresh from
the Underground

He never orders a latte
standard drinks
brew of the day
fill his cup

someday
An inkling may stir him

to order
a white chocolate mocha

My neighbour's son came late to wish her
Being always very busy,
Mum sorry I don't  have time,
I have to rush to a meeting.
I will buy you anything you want,
And have my secretary sent it to you.
Son I need only two things,
Your time for me,
And my yesterday's I found time to be with you.
Can you buy me that with your wealth.

When a man is a short distance away from his wife his messages are short .
The greater the distance the longer the messages .
.
So are the prayers of man to God .
