Grey and sodden clouds cry
From my north-western sky
Where I used to fly with satellites
Before I was stuck at traffic lights

I'm pretending that I'm sane
With a bandage around my brain
Pretending that I'm whole
With sutures in my soul

Tight and screaming reins
Hold the prophets in my veins
Aquarius turns again
Again and yet again

To shove away

Someone I once knew

and cared for long ago

took the slow ****** train home

a friend arrived alive

home from Iraq

broken, full of static

my father's trail

of caring drew the pancreatic

hound from hell

sadly, but

for the life of me,

I can’t load all that ****

into a broken boat

to shove away

out onto a moonlit sea.

I just heard that Tom Petty passed. RIP, songster.

Monsoon Umbrella

Paint the Umbrella
A Riot of Colours
The Rain can't wash Away

Throw caution to The Winds
A Little dance to the
Reverberating Beats of
Rains splash into Puddles
The Umbrella Aloft ,Swirls
Kaleidoscopic hues at Play

Green is the Colour on the Spectrum Wide
Harbinger of Peace and Tranquillity
The Monsoons The Mainstays

Paint the Umbrella
A Riot of Colours
The Rain can't wash Away
