Page Seventy Three: Favorites

The sun and the moons analogy,
luminous the suns smile;
the warmth, assurance you the sun bring me.
Moon your gleam
when all is shadow and gloom
Pleasant sleep, not a weep.
Both bringing me light when the strings are pulled tight.

The ol' days

Take me to the City
where boys were gentlemen
and girls are ladies

Take me to the Era
where men knew the limit
and girls knew the classy

Take me back to the time
when alcohol was soothing
and cigarettes were calming

Take me back to
the years of blues
the jazz that made it through

The 13.40 to Mercia

It's in the here and that's how,
now I come to think of it, these words
that I scribble on ribbons of tissue which
are torn from my breast are
the living of me,
living within me and sometimes
in hard times they're
the only living I get.

Set in my ways now until the end of my days,
how I hope this pen lasts until the last
candle's done,
until the last rays of the Sun
bow to kiss me
goodbye.

Numbers Don't Lie

I'd rather work with numbers
than work with people.
Reason:
they give you the right answer
numbers are never wrong!
They can never be,
they tell the truth yearlong.
It's not that I hate people, or
have an issue with trust, or,
they don't use their noodle.
It's because they can lie.
see numbers can't,
nor can they deny.
My love for numbers is as endless as Pi,
because numbers can NEVER lie.

it's true OK, don't try to argue with me.
well in a way numbers could "lie" but that's only if you miscalculated, but even they, they told you the outcome of what you calculated, may not have been what you where looking for thought.

The last of the lavender

Shaded Lamp

The last of the lavender

Will this be the summer of our discontent
Or must we wait for more to understand
The dusty red and blue have merged
Whilst grasped in business' firm hand
The last of the lavender party politicians
The dawn of an enlightened age
Brought about by peaceful demonstration
Compassion replacing our rage
It's time rise and unite,
Time to balance the books
Time to listen to Chomsky
Time to trial the real crooks
Time to understand the state
Sees you as the enemy
it's generous, docile tax cow
Time for the remedy
A positive equal future awaits
Regardless of colour, age or gender
A resource based economy
Without need for ****** splendour
Sure,  it won't happen overnight
And Rome was not  built in a day
But today is the day to begin the fight
Leading our children to a better way
A way of life,  not slaves for rent
A devotion to knowledge and peace
A disposal of our disposable lives
Where we all are the same chess piece

Once

Nope

Once

I watch you sometimes
From a distance
So familiar with your ways
Your damsel in distress pedigree
Your claws you keep, asleep, waiting
Just a little taste
Those ****** lips, smeared with lust
But I loved you, once
But, wow, how I loved you

Atmospheric rage,
Luminous obscurity.
Discharged sky barrage,
