What ?
What are you gonna' do ?
Write a poem ?
Ha ! That's really rich !
The Baptist would send over a casserole and dish . But it's too far away and it would spoil before it could be delivered . How about a card of condolences or flowers . Same ole same so's , not feasible or adequate . Who's loss is it really ? Mine of course !
So I'll sit in my rocking chair on the porch and stare down the memories or lay on my bed of remorse and share the emptiness and wonder about how fast our lives have passed . And of course I'll cut out another piece of my heart and hand it you to take with you on your long journey home wherever it may be .

1981 and a bit

I wanted to go to Butlins
but ended up here at
Pontins
and not even the
contipontinental
one,
no,
it was
the one at
Camber Sands,

the camber was obvious to me
the beach sloped down to the sea
the sands were sandy which was handy
for building castles,

that is it
glad I got that off my chest.

Ophelia

Every time I gaze Upon this Scene,
It's like I'm living inside a dream
Those eyes,
What thoughts behind?
Oh
To see
Inside you're mind

Waters flow around you,
Course towards
Cold depths,
Distant sound of shallow breaths

Lifeline
Now
Thinning,
You're voice
Can be heard,
Still
Singing

Hands in abbhaya mudra position,
Flowers still held,
Fate has a mission

On you're journey,
No fear
Is
Shown,
Everyone gone,
Now
All alone

Lost love
Drove you to this,
The contract,
Has been sworn,
Not death
But reborn

Inspired by the paintings of John Everett Millais.
The abhaya mudra is a hand gesture that symbolizes protection, peace, and the dispelling of fear. It is also known as the "fearlessness gesture" because the word abhaya means "fearlessness" in Sanskrit.

Beautiful Women

Belladonna
You're
Passion
Was made,
In the
Nightshade

Must take care,
A small
Amount of you
Can be
Enchanting,
Too much
Can be deadly

To help with fate,
A drop
In the eyes,
Cause to
Dilate

Nature flower

I don't know

When these
Three
Words are said,
There's
Many thoughts
Inside my
Head

So out of respect,
Not thinking
You're
Correct

"I don't know"

Not made a
Definitive
Conclusion,
Sorry to cause
Confusion

"I don't know"

Some take offence,
Time to
"Get off the fence"
But life
Is
Long,
Pondering
The mystery
Of The
Song

The tune can
Lead you
Anywhere,
Eventually I'll
Get
There.

Song- Hank Williams, “Ramblin’ Man”
