They said it's going rain again.
A sky full up with ****** downed raindrops.
Acidic, all full up with war.
Eastern,
Western
And they're all wearing tin hats.
Their hats be beat with wooden spoons.
Complexity of situations.
Clasp hands real tight
Dreams of friendships between nations.
Regardless of religious rifts.
A cautionary tale,
From the grounded whale
She who can change nothing
Our world in need of communication.
And just a touch of soothing.
Let us drift in to a sleep,
From where tomorrow always comes.

Roses are red with sharp thorns that bite.
Violets unholy blue,
Those roses bright red are full up with spite,
Violets are pretty tho rarely speak true.
Tulips are for kissing,
Not sure what they're missing.
Lilies are scented,
They're lacing the air,
And the green grass tells tales to the trees,
cos they listen,
The speak of the chap who cuddled the girl,
but they never repeat cos they just wouldn't dare.
Beneath the rocks the fairies do dwell,
with all seeing eyes but they never tell.
The garden's full of secrets,
That's where they lie,
Everything happens there says the all seeing eye.
But the house-folk, never know why they're looking,
Perhaps they're playing I-Spy.

Heavenly father.
He never sinned.
The priest of France he was not spared.
By men so evil.
Devil spawn?
Bless you old fella, the lord in your soul,
It is no compensation that you were already old.
You held in your heart a cross of pure gold.
Once more I tell of your nation's devastation.

The clouds to the left are etched 3D,
Black in front of fluffy white with crispy edges,
Just in sight.
They're high, and mighty.
Holding noise with spirits rife.
Courts of clouds respecting raindrops.
Hovering as giant birds.
It's raining now.
The only way to beat this heat,
Stifling,
Choking.
Thank heavens.

Can somebody please explain,
Why a lovely ice cold thick shake,
In a cup marked  large is gone,
Gone much too quickly,
Exquisitely delicious,
Trying to stay fresh and cool.
A rapidly empty cup,
Leaves me feeling a thirsty fool.
I hereby declare that I truly need another one.
To keep me feeling jolly cool,
while in the midday sun.

Love remains asymptomatic until it fails and falls. Before her face love be revealed until such time as such doth call.
Falling in love and indirect approaches, catch stars that burn on darkest nights, love and lust, truth and touch shall put the world to rights. Should the symptoms of dying love be treated thus and thine set free, Gave up on love, tis only thee.

As if  pair of faded curtains my life draws to it's end.
Hopefully not too soon, I guess.
Bearing the wind through the overt windows
Teased by blanching sunlight,
Ripped by pulling fingers.
Dated tassels hung from saggy hems.
Wrinkled, in need of ironing.
Life is but one pressing engagement, leading to another.
Long fringe dresses my brow line,
Curtains that inhibit future vision.
Time for a hair cut perhaps.
Lighten the load.
