In distress a heart that's drained,
Collapses as, no pain it feels.
Left behind wheals of the scarring chords of world in bidding, for redress,to sounds of music, deafening as thunder claps and lightning bolts, around thine head as if a crown, so rendering the wearer dead.
Icy silence, walks in tombs.
Walls all painted blood maroon.
Going underground into vaults that stink.
Paintbrush, enters stage left, paints darkened catacombs in vibrant candy pink.
Invigorated heart that's free.
As if a bird, whose name is me.

Vows made in the summertime.
Now lowly laid to rest.
The summer sunshine turned to rain.
After the raindrops, came the pain.
The winter cold strolled in, most nonchalantly.
It really didn't care that it blistered noses iced the ends with dusted snow.
You know I know.
I know you know.
Exactly what I mean.
The thunder inside deafened your eardrums.
The lightning assaulted your eyes.
You tried to weep, to rest in peace.
To recover the days just passed by.
The day you lost a precious lover.
The painful weather just wouldn't let you!

Bring out your dead cried the man with the cart.
The red cross on the door.
He trundled on and on.
Calling and shouting.
A cart full of infection.
Off to the plague pits the dead were carted.
The cycle completed, the cart trundles on.
Bring out your dead cried the man with cart, again.

A rose that blooms when summer's high.
Enough to fill a fantasy.
Given to a lover true.
A rose so scarlet.
To thrill the love thou once held inside mine heart.

Red rose, o red rose given to me.
Love is the only emotion I see.
Thine eyes told no lies.
Words unsaid.
Those climbing roses grow up the wall anchored fast throughout the fall.
They rap on the window, tap, tap, scratch.
Reminders, such perfect mementoes of loving moments, we once shared.
Accidentally you let it slip from heart and mind,
How scared thou must have felt.
Time set you free.
The ladybird cared.
Sitting in sunshine.
She's basking in joy.

From the beach front seen.
Scene from a movie.
Maybe image from a magazine.
An eerie flotilla of vessels tiny.
Safely escorting her home.
Mere pin ****** on the bright horizon.
Sky lit up near sapphire.
Dressed with resounding rebound light.
Reflected from the moon.
Near cloudless was the sky that night.

Engraved on the horizon red sails.
Redder than scarlet.
Blazing orange aura.
Glowing in the twilight sky.
Creepy ensign just visible flying at her helm.
In myth this was mentioned by many a sorry soul.

Perhaps portent of coming doom.
The dead they just don't know.
No-one knew who'd seen her.
Twas many years ago.
The dead had long since perished.
Was the warning true.
None will ever know.

Upstanding citizen of forest floor.
Tall and proud.
Lowest level.
Tall and strong.
Home to many.
An ancient realm.
Mighty den of bugs and grubs.
Detritus munching in the hole.

A deciduous conifer.
Gets undressed for winter.
Redresses early spring.
Parody of pine tree.
Wood as red as fire.
The itching sky she needs to scratch.
Always reaching upwards.
Until her time is done!

Reflections!

She has a good sheen,
That's all seen,
So true,

Seen new babies coming,
Glowing with health,
While their Daddy works,
To just keep them in wealth,

Seen marriage of minds,
So full of pleasure,
Watching T.V.
Her pursuit of leisure!

The mirror on the fireplace,
Stares right back,
Looks through me,
What has she seen,
What's she accrued,
In the depths of fleeting memory!

Teenage eyes awaiting adornment,
Old dear eyes speaking with wisdom,
As they try to disguise,
Passing time as it flies,
While waiting in torment,

Such sorrow seen,
Stashed deep,
Locked in the mirrored soul,
God forbid,
That mirror should crash and burn,
Letting those images break free,
Pandora's box unleashed,
Perhaps!!

Take a peep at re-incarnation.
Think a while.
Re-incarnated as a tree.
A beautiful thought.
Maybe!
Trees make paper with various uses.
From beautiful books to sate the readers,
Or shredded and mushed and put on a roll, used to sort the bottoms of the nation.
Don't fancy being re-incarnated as a tree!
Do you?

Olivia Kent Mar 2015
Contradiction lies
Career dies
Lifes blasted hyperspace.
Voided rejection
Too tough arsed to mention
Lies of inventions, investigations.
***** flowers die.
They always do.
Fandangles and banners.
Crazy announcements.
Star chasing
Emaciated.
Emancipated.
Free dreaming with schemers.
Salmon wrapped with lemon juice.
Sprinkles loss lime peel feel.
Ambivalent flipping fish with slices.
Switching twisting blowing steam from elevators.
Temporary internet files.
Smiles through shut lips spitting orange pips.
Broken promises made from chamomile,
Silent Sunday mornings, should be for having fun.
Happy fell where sorry left, sorry is never enough.

He should've tried to understand her.
Took a while.
Made her smile .
He was her only ever lover.
At night she cries for him.
She's dying inside.
He's not in sight.
The sun fell down on their love.
Cupids' arrow missed.
He shot the dove instead.
Saw him last in summertime.
Sat on grassy path.
City beat controlled her heart beat.
Summer rain enthused the pain.
Smitten kitten.
Pussycat.
Playing.
Laying.
Finger teasing.
You bade her goodbye.
Not a look in your eye.
Emotion eclipsed.
The sky went black.
Knowing he ain't coming back.
She thought he was forever love.
Been and gone.
Was never love.
Flowers of treason.
It's wife hunting season.
Absolutely no reason at all.
Life spent living polyester dreams.

Released!

Broken free from demon's grip,
Hell's embers burned unholy feet,
Queen of darkness entered easy,
She was such cute fool,
Tripping was his treat,
Not sweet!

Archetypal archangel came and snatched her,
Before she was in too deep,
Angel wiped her tears away,
As she began to weep,
He truly knew the right path,
When he edged her keenly on,

A mortal soul her own she  knew,
Touches kindness satisfied,
Her ****** heart,
Her ****** soul,
Hauled along in tow,

This phoenix,
She is rising,
True in life's supremacy,
Subversive in it's summary,
That she will reveal me!

If things could be changed they would be.
And so they will be,
As morning calls, all that stretches me unbearably shall be gone,
So shall be I.
As leaves on the tree fall in autumn, so indeed will I.
Sat on the edge of porcelain teacup,
Been dropped too many times.
I'm sat on the edge of a saucer that's tipping.
I'm drowning in tea and it's not me.
It's been dripping like the wax of an infernal candle,
Leaving the nasty after smell of having been put out.
Tomorrow, my life will change,
But only for the better.
The weight of three little letters.
That weigh at least a ton,
will be gone.
I'll just be plain Olivia.
I'm dropping the RGN.
Then I won't drowning in cold tea, at the edge of a tatty saucer.
I'll be toasting sanity in a coffee mug.

Religion


Writing poetry is my true religion,
In cognition,
In true incantations,
She's always honest,
Comes straight from my heart !
She's soulful and tender,
Games thrown,
Down from whirling wind,
To whirlpools,
Sometimes drowning,
In idealistic realism,
Dispersed as dandelion down,
Reseeding when ever she can!
Cultivated in seconds,
Breath drawing,
Imagery creates another dream,
To live in and ride her,
Pegasus disguised as mustang,
Wildly rides on!

Pick it up.
Lose it not.
Caring, not wrapped in a tissue.
Throw it not down the sewer.
Sew it up and fix it.
Going down inept response.

Lose not his head.
For he's not dead.
Wanting nothing.
Needing none.
Once trapped in web already spun.
As a discarded tissue forgiven.
She'll miss you.
But he's already gone.
Don't cry ask not why.
She just cares.
The girl with the Auburn Hair!

Beauty enfolds the ****** soul.
Alas the soul cannot perceive the presence it holds.
The soul is not virginal.
A deep breath held fast in the darkness.
Drowning in a waterless chasm.
The soldiers of fortune spilled all their coins.
They're melting in the furnace of hell.
There are bits and there are pieces.
The pieces got more broke.
Fragments of once, as mirror shards of memory.
And once again I breathe.

Pray let us not forget the fallen heroes from wars of now and times gone by.
A flash,
A crash.
A trick of lights.
May disturb the heroes on this night.
Noises.
Visions.
They were there.
Sod Guy Fawkes and pals (poor chaps).
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Firework night.
Mental gameplay.
Old soldiers,
Young Soldiers,
Cats and dogs.
Let's not forget the effect.
Too many tortured souls.
Still living in hell.
Fallen heroes.
Bowing in respect.

On the grass, green as we are,
We kneel beneath the eyes of heaven.
My sister and I.
Knees stained with dry mud and the stains of the grass.
Washing them clean, a thankless task.

My sister and I.
Breeze blowing.
Spring tree tops tickle the sky.
We sit and relax as we chat about men.
What a pair of old hens we are.
Sat there under the summertime time tree.
We're sat on a nest of manic wild ants.
We're scratching and itching, cos they got in our pants.
Between the two of us, we gave up on romance.
Sat on the lawn.

A little forlorn .
A pair of old maids upon wild tirades.
Ranting and raging under our breath.
To meet a new man spells certain death!
We smile and we giggle about the last ones we lost.
Counting on fingers, those truly lost.
And maybe missing them still.

Love in essence a bitter pill.
Hard to swallow, still.
We stand up and leave.
For you, I still grieve.
We brush off our knees.
With a hay fever sneeze and tear gritty eyes.
All fed up with lies.
Our minds fly away to a past summers day.
A day, a reflection of love's imperfections.
Home we go, my sister and I.

Torn up photos.
Ripped to shreds.
Baby you went.
You left me for dead.

Standing on the sidewalk.
Swinging your broadsword.
Played darts with cupid's arrows.
Poor shot.

Shots came from bottles.
Cupid missed.
Probably ******.
Usually is.

Dizzy.
Busy.
Drinking.
Coffee.
Thinking.

Shrinking.
A violet not.
Guess I forgot.
So what's love?

The leaves of the oak decided to fall.
The autumn lays them on the ground beneath their mother tree.
Bent down to touch them.
One crinkled leaf.
Many coated the mud ridden ground.
It was one near dry leaf I found.
Astonished to find this dead leaf, had a little bit of life retained.
Was wearing a winter coat.
I picked it up.
Ran it through my fingertips.
Touched it close upon my lips.
It wore a dry and furry coat.
Not visible.
It seemed so sensitive upon my skin.
When you stumble upon an oak leaf on the ground.
Touch it, feel it.
you too may be astounded.

Take my heart,
guard it,
as I guard it,
it is slightly precious,
it has been ripped out,
burst before,
a bloodless balloon,
infiltrated with cheese wire,
somebody tried to stop it,
prevent it bursting again,
slow punctures repaired,
with minute patches of sellotape,
sorry repairs,
pierced,
allowed gentle entry,
somewhat deflating,
only slowly,
a slow release of aromatic air,
a little spiced,
the heart still beats it's thrill,
despite the the chill,
love me some more,
I know one day you will!

Twilight crossed the evening sky,
Was a clear eve,
In early starlight I declare,
Saw shop of puppets appealing,
Almost calling out,
Some kind of lure, they'd called you back,
We had to stop and take a glimpse,

Now this evening,
My heels click clack across the cobbled square,
Desired another view of tragic puppets, looking blue,
From their incarceration of wooden hearts and bitter souls,
I too heard their suppressed weeping,
Sobbing tears despondently,

Looking through the dusty pane,
Visualised a figurehead,
Looked similar to you,
Wooden face stained with scars of tear stains,
Countenance of yours,
After I left you in the bar last night,
What veritable vision you now presented to my sight,

What kind of black magic kept you trapped,
For you were no bad man,
An occasional fool,
For now in the care of marionette curator,
In whose grasp became ensnared,
You were seized in a tragic subterfuge,
As a tragic marionette you dwell forever and a day!

Today I'm feeling dodgy.
Just a little dark.
I hear you say why.
The reason for my admission is that I wrote a poem last night.
Found no sunshine only night.
Poem chased me into my pit.
I couldn't sleep because of it.
I am not dark of heart.
The poem I wrote bit me.
Been rolling round inside my head.
Thoughts of bad man being dead.
Dead at the hand of the hangman's noose.
I write what I feel and I feel what I write.
I like the poem and the image I created.
A worm wriggled through my head.
Made me stop and focus upon miscarriages of justice.
I have a conscience and I am a deep thinker.
I may blab nonsense.
But sometimes I think.
That poetic piece floats upon injustice.
For the very next few days I'll concentrate on writing nice!

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.

Resting Friendship!

Silver armour,
Please protect the heart that can not die.
Angel wings.
Cosseted the lady fair,
Beautiful mind, already died.
Coronet of filigree.
Rests upon sweet ladies hair.

She lays in rest.
Always best.
The lady cared.
She dared to care.

Lady destroyed.
Oh lady sweet.
Rest in peace.
Sleep deeply.
Til sunshine dies in rain.

Glass casket.
Pray smash it not.
Lacking air protects her lips.
No ageing.
Cold skin.
Encased in scarlet velvet.

Please keep her heart safe within.
Protect her from evil.
Save her from mortal sin.
Because you can.
For you are not a mortal man.

When after the war,
Together they died.
Together the fallen.
The battered and torn.
Fallen heroes warred with scorn.
Let the scorn be gone.
Enemies no longer sworn!

Curled up,
eyes flickering in the half-light kiss,
he's turns into your cuddles,
What is he thinking of?
when stuck in the other realm,
what do his dreams hold?
are they as close,
as he is to you,
will he remember his tiny little dreams?
doubts are serious,
in formation of a persona,
he's safe,
so safe,
wriggles and shivers when dreaming,
when his dreams they take hold,
the dreams of the infant,
unknown,
pure gold.

REST IN PEACE?
Long legged lady.
She smiled.
Subtle smile all of her own.
Glint in her mischievous eye.
She’s a wild beast.
Misrepresented in the world.
Slumbers dumb.
Until the instant nasal greeting.
Perfume of *****.
An instant alive.
A nose full of fire.
Sees a feline creeping.
Timidly perched on the fence
En route to somewhere else.
Timid beast becomes savage.
Ballarat, makes a small pooch freak.

Sunday, the Sabbath.
There was magic in the air that day.
A blessed corpse in need of bathing.
To relieve the indignity of such uncaring death.
They came, the ladies in attendance.
To dress his naked form in myrrh.
To purify and bless his putrid moments.

All hail, bow in great respect.
The stone had moved, the cadaver left.
Not a message to be found.
His body gone from underground.
In promises of life eternal.
He had given his blessings.
After death in resurrection, the lord of love and life.
Met his troubled brother James.
Dear lady, Mary Magdalen to him did speak.
He bade her not to touch him.
For his body was so weak.
The Father of Jesus, was waiting, to save the souls of mortal men.
Jesus waited silent for the call.
Our Holy Jesus.
Lord of all.

Sporting the battledress of the warrior queen.
Her eyes wide open.
She's unfurling black banners,
while spewing venom, at the blackened retching sky.
Midnight crisp approaches,
as she grabs the sullen one,
Smashes through his barriers,
She is the chosen one,
And she sings to him, provocatively, luring him in,
dashed onto gilded rocks,
For he too is the chosen one,
the son of sighs,
deliver me from death,
I beg,
oh so unholy one,
Once again, he smiles at her,
deliverance curtly,
through teeth ,
blackened by his spite,

As morning light breaks through the sky,
he stops and stoops and wonders why.
On hell and Earth, in spite of heaven,
Why did he bid goodbye to his wild warrior queen,
the royal one,
So regally attired in ebony black.

For you woman,
you seek only the sycophant,
Believe him not,
It's all a fake, a disguise behind which he hides,

Forget her not, she  still wants you,
Wants to rip your **** in two,
no chance at forgiveness,
for making the lady blue,

You,
with the faces of loyal Gemini,
you state,
categorically state,
the woman, the one,
that woman,
And f**k, as inside you walk, right in again,
As inside you go again,
Here you go again, letting your passion, cause more pain.

Into a spot wedged tight and neat.
As if a sardine into a tin..
Shaking so violently under my skin.
In a quandary, jammed in tight,
That each days' morning runs into the night.
Everything's wrong.
Something's not right.
Where to go from here I fear.
I need to stop and to reflect.
A broken heart that beats bereft.
Right is good.
No choices left.
What to do ?

Take the silken ribbon from my hair.
Wrap it tight around my neck.
For on cold nights of loneliness.
In darkness.
My cold body sits.
My neck bruised in compassion.
Once there in sight.
Was once there in mind.
There for company.
Seek and thou shall find my friend.

Embalmed behind a sullen smile.
Austere.
Such quiet company.
In dignified silence sat.
My mouth stitched shut.
Calling out is not aloud.

I feel you watching me.
While in eternity I sleep.
A presence around me.
I feel that you want me.
Caught by skeins of royal blue.
Oxygen depleted.
In a tapestry of captivity.

But I am not yours.
Only God can set me free.

Sitting on the pavement, the cobbled one,
Bare feet are burning on the stones, why I sat to rest.
My brother came along and threw his spite, wildly at first,
Was just by way of smite.
He never sat, he never mused.
With me his sister, never amused.
Adult hood came,
Daddy dear went,
A spiteful fixation, it was never meant to be.
We never sat and had a chat.
And truth to tell, that was that.
The family have become nuclear.
Couldn't be much farther spread.
We could maybe, have met in hell,
But some of us, already there.
In the after-life, if it were meant to be.
Currently in purgatory.

RICHES
Land of multicolored dreams, where paper's made in pretty reams.
Land where pleasant peasants play, with quills made of peacock feathers,
Exercise in penning skills.
Bank notes made of paper, along with glossy magazines.
Elegant women popping pills.
Stinking rich images.
'pon covers of said magazine.
Magazine holds bullets, aimed at the perfect queen of hearts.
Writers twiddles and fiddle with their pen.
Oh joy, the reader sits and grins as here she goes again.

Stands tall in dark cloak.
Menacing shadow smacks the alleyway.
Wall dressed in gaslight.
A bag of tricks grasped in his hand.
To turn tricks of his own on night ladies.

The night ladies cackle in raucous laughter.
In the grasp of inebriation's smile.
A stallion bedecked in funeral regalia.
Waits impatiently for his return.
Heavy shod hooves heard scratching the flag stones.

Stallion awaits acknowledgement of death.
Death soon to approach the first sweet soul.
The first of five.
Sweet Mary Ann Nichols.
Throat unceremoniously slashed.
Her abdomen was broken too.
The work of the devil maybe.
Whitechapel August 1888
Was no place for a lady of the night to be.
Despite the chapel, in the name.
This was no religious lair.

Beside the river,
Straw in hat,
Sketching visions from my mind,
Merging them, with that I see.
I sip my whine deliberately,
Always moaning,
That's just me.
In front of this tiger's eye,
A dancing streak of fish doth fly.
In the sunlight glinting,
Against the sun my eyes be squinting.
Sat on the checked rug a flick of the wrist,
There went that bug!
I turn,
Dreaming I'm kissing you,
Guess the truth of the matter is maybe I'm missing you!

Amorous sunlight touches water.
Romantic ballerina.
Rhythm of pointed tips,
Swirling in sparkling pirouettes.
Kissing morning.
Bouncing ripples.

Breaching each day.
Reaching skywards.
Always dancing.
Eternal beauty.
Gifts of nature's full grown maternity.
The birth of another lovely day.

I plucked a tiny flower from the verge at the side of the lane.
It was so delicate.
It looked so lonely, sitting there all alone.
I stuck it under the edge of my collar.
Attached alongside my remembrance day poppy.
I heard the hooves of the the day bays horses's shoes clicking and clacking into the morning.
I witnessed the lone rider, hair in a net ******* under her hat.
I smelled the exceptional air.
No vehicles passed through this place.
So very quiet.
The field laid upon the left hand side looked so inviting.
Maybe I'd walk over it on my way back home.

Got back into my house.
Reviewed my flowers.
The bright red memorial.
It poppy triggered more emotion than the tiny roadside treat.
I pressed my little roadside flower in the middle of a poetry book.
Between the pages laced with guilt,  I stole it's life away.
My tiny paper poppy will fall into the bin.
Next year, a  beautiful fresh one will be reborn of pure love.
Acknowledge the soldiers, acknowledge the flowers.

Protective of all human kind.

I will serve and respect you, as you are the wearer of human skin.
The bearer of human sin.
As Robot; I know not of sin.
I am emotionless, inanimate made of tin, or similar non corrosive metal.
Human is conditioning,into a master robot .
Crafting, grafting, making sense.
Manufactured of filaments and circuit boards.
As Robot,I may not harm a hair on human head, by way of lacking action.
Robot, I must obey what humans say, avoiding harming human fellows.
You may scrap your fellow robots, put them in the melting ***.
Causing harm to ****-sapiens is one thing I may not.
Above all, I as robot must protect myself for future stealth type operations.
But I can't harm humans.
Useful as a fighter I am not, for I cannot be a warrior it goes against my laws, all three.
As I can do no harm, totally against my doctrine.
A domestic engineering robot is the only thing I am.

It's just a day when children play.
Jesus was born upon this day.
Some of the people understand the role of Jesus birth.
Bringing peace and goodwill to wrap the earth.
Maybe, love and peace will rule again.
All the best to all men.
Most holy child born into a holy stable.
Putting turkey on the table.
Others see Christmas as a fun day.
After the presents all said and done, it feels like a week of boring Sundays.

A holiday in Rome, said she.
Deep in the land of mystery.
Around the Coliseum, feel the pain of past lives lingering in the air.
The fountain of coins, it's inviting you in.
Sunlight sprinkles sparkle, in reflection of the coins intent.
Coins thrown in, wishes spent.
Kisses of the Italian romeo, well and truly meant.
At the time.
Wish he were mine.
Tall dark and handsome please, says the winsome one.
Parties and sorties at the Campo de' Fiori.
Piazza Navona of music and dancers, poets and passion.
Ms Hepburn, I trust you enjoyed.
I must go myself I so need  to see,
the feeling, the history the  desire, the calling,
Take me please soon, to Italy.

A single red rose hides in my heart,
She feeds my fire gives me art,
Gives me love, without a doubt,
While white rose feeds tranquility,
With jot humility,
Tells me we are heavenly,
For your love,I do surrender,
All my feelings truly tender.
A mix of red and white, tell of unity,
A pink rose,
Such treasure,
A friend from my heart,
Poetic memories of happiness,
While we are apart,
Yellow roses paint my joy,
Screaming out remember me,
Should you perchance
Find me a rose of lavender,
Enchanted in beauty's frock,
May a spell be conjured for love at first sight,
Until the day black roses catch me,
When death courts this enchantress,
The writing will go on.
Will leave a legacy of life and love behind!

I arose in the morning.
Grabbed a coffee with both hands.
It's cold this morning.
Coffee helps.
My hands are thawing out.
Went and got a porridge.
Hell I need my morning oats.
From me the nurses point of view.
Those oats in the morning.
Will  help to keep your body functioning well inside.

Run to the hills with the wind in your hair.
Tripping out as if you don't care.
Chase the birds out of the trees.
Avoid winding up the honey bees.
Incessant sound of pouring rain.
Infinite tapping on my brain.
A spring that's coming is coiled fast.
The wind and rain a malevolent blast.
Swirling around telephone mast.
A maelstrom of communication.
Feel vibration of melodic calling.
The Sand is clogged.
Tis waterlogged.
The rain and wind shall surely blow.
Where they shall blow us none shall know.
The future hangs upon the stars.
Of all the boys in all the bars.
The poetic pen shall be irreverent.
But, all shall be indifferent.
And the poet self-indulgent.

I have a subtle secret,
I remembered it,
while I stood watching the wild animals,
they're called the just past children,
my goodness how they dance,
youth romancing wildly,
to the crashing, thrashing,trashing beat.

My secret is a little curio,
I too once was one of those creatures,
just before the present day.

Time caught me on her current,
I can't come out to play today.
Olden joints are aching as burning flames and rigid rocks,
long left behind those bobby socks.
I had none anyway.

Punk rock and new romantics hovered in my day,
I had painted nails and spiky hair,
dog collar sported,
but ne'er a vicar,
but never a dog, I didn't bite.

The old crone gives assassinations of their personalities,
making judgement of their music taste and on their motion,
The truth is only mine to speak,
I was one of them,
seems just like last week,

I'm jealous of their fiery youth,
which rolled into my yesterdays,
their style generation x, y and z,
ultimately just like mine,

Guys in make-up,
some dressed in lace,
ears hung with chandeliers.

Baggy in black, which slogans that match,
feet that jump, lashing and kicking,
raging while kissing.
Memoirs of my forgotten worth,
once crazy musical youth.

This isn't quality but I went out last night and that was the inspiration!

RUT
If I could, I would, but I can't.
I wish we could as one.
Walk together into the sunset.
Walk hand in hand by a near silent river bank.
Where we can see darting fish.
Think they're enjoying themselves, never can tell.
Couldn't tell with you.
Maybe just drifting with the tide.
Like me.
I go to work to forget.
Got to live.
Memories of you still make me high.
Sky scraping.
Don't know why.
Myself, well still I  drift.
Stuck in a rut.
My memory destructive.
Holding me back.
Something I lack.
Riding ripples of quiet time.
Where deep in thought my memories get caught.
Getting distraught.

On the plains today a foul discovery was made, as 10 mighty  ivory towers lay slain,
cruel man takes life's decisions from  fate,
Decide the need to die, for what?
A family destroyed without need , for greed,
No trade,
Embargo stands steadfast, so why?
No point, beasts of grand stature, collapsed as deflated,
Innocent as children with children,
All massacred!
A truly sorrow-filled day,
These elephants denied the rite of their own graveyard,
Bless these gorgeous beasts,
Curse the poachers to burn deep in the fires of hell for all eternity and more !!!

He was an angel,
An angel of war,
She a tender angel of mercy,
She dared to care
How dare she care.
He folded his bloodied wings and cried.
He shredded his banners,
He smashed his silvery sword,
Exchanged  it for a dagger.
He rammed it deep into her heart.
She cried an ocean of tears,
for the love that could not be.
She played her love upon a pen,
She called it poetry.

I strolled along the street one day, A young guy with a dog said "hey,
"Missus can you help me, please",
Looked so gaunt,
Leaned in his craggy doorway,
While waiting for some luck to fall his way,
A fallen angel walked his way...smiled wryly, "say I say, what can i do for you this day?"
"scoop me up and take me home, I so desire to see your throne".
"Had enough of mortal life, lost my children, lost my wife"
I have nothing left at all,  I have a dog but, have no ball.
He is my one and only friend...I know on him I can depend.
The fallen angel picked him up, piercing his heart with a dagger of ice,
He bled inside ,his heart was drained , so only his poor dog remained.
His one and only  wish he  gained,
The dog was taken to my heart and still today, we'll never part.
I was that fallen angel, that took his heart, that day!
Never ever punished because of my way!
He got his desire that fate filled day,
His wish was granted and his good dog had it's day!!
Obviously, this is a piece of pure fantasy, that came to me after reading Chris's  poem, which is pure excellence as usual.
