Sat on the roots of dying trees.
Dreams of growth and structures.
Thinking of many things.
Seriously, had I not done things I have done,
Where could I be?

He told me that the world was good.
Maybe was carved from ball of wood.
Sadly 'twas invaded by wood worms.
Who spent hours daily nibbling.
However: it isn't really wooden.
Despite the pain 'tis really good, good as gold.
Our world protected, loved so dearly.
Close to ending,
Only nearly.
Protected by the word of various lords,
And mythical souls.
Hercules in full support,
The weight of the world on his shoulders.
Heracles despatching lions, well only one to my knowledge.
Gods and prophets will do their best.
Adam and Eve conceived their sons and Noah's floods and Lot's salt pillar.
Angels soothe minds of the troubled.
While gorgons, witnessed turn to stone, their snakes are hungry their dying for rats.
Samaritans will save the world, not just lonesome travellers.
And Jesus, he turned water into wine, not mine, loaves and fishes to feed them all.
Let us pray.

Once I had a mood ring.
It locked tight about my finger.
Glowed shades of vibrant red when wild I was inside.
It turn a shade of mellow yellow when soothed and calmed by changing moments.
A shade of green which changed by degrees when ire and jealously me deceived.
One day the stone fell out, the band remained and so it shouts.
It's crying for the missing stone, I swear my heart and ears perceive it's calling moan.
Mislaid it long ago, when I was pure as blowing snow.
Cold in heart. caught in mind.
The ring mislaid no more to find.
From then onwards the only ring I wore was on one of gold, I wear no more.
My love was sold.
I bear no more, not ever.
No ring be worn no more.
Mood moments governed by pure emotions, not tatty stones or loves devotions.

Romance on the streets where gas canisters fall.

Making bleeding eyes weepy.

The children should be sleepy.

But they're not.

Teardrops expelled from eyes poked in by foreign spies.

With insane policies.

Governments and Arsenals.



And you **** in your lungs on your **** cheap cigarettes.

Your chemical dreams, ripped out at their seams.

And she cocked up her words on the stage.

So she coughed and she choked.

Then she curled up and died.

Crying insanely, insanity's cruel.

Of diamonds and emeralds, she's playing the fool.

The fool on the fiddle and hey ******, the cat's spilling riddles.

While lady serendipity looks onwards in glee.

Sweet lady smiles serenely.

As gleeful she is as gleeful is me .

To my gay friends I send this note.
Brothers and sisters.
Pray stand up and weep for the lost of Orlando
May the good lord stand up with you, cry for you, care for you always.
Brothers smile, sisters smile.
For we shall not be beat.
Gentlemen from Pulse,
Please forever rest in peace.
Angels guide you in, take them safely by the hand.

Dear David.
I sat there and I listened hard to your wholly irksome voice.
I sat,
I listened very hard indeed and now I make my choice.
I believe that you're a pompous twit and that's the long and short of it.
Boris appears as if he tumbled from a scruffy crib.
His hair tangled like a bush, not that I should be so personal in my politician targeting.
The moral of this tiny story, ne'er on earth will I be tory.

Sat upon the river bank.
Watching the rippling river tumbling over the stepping stones.
We can't go stepping on them, they're slippery.

Right hand touched the grass, a strange sensation.
A painful one,
A fellow in a striped vest, is attached to my finger.
He's joined onto the end of my fourth finger.

Hell.
I flicked him off with my thumb.
I think I hurt him more than he did me.
Next time I looked he'd gone.
No idea where.
My finger's still sore.
He's probably nursing a headache.
I really dislike wasps.
They always seem to pick on me.
