.... warm and cold, this world hurts, cuts, stings & burns till your on your knees, an oil sodden bird nursing a punctured soul.
Hand shy tired & broken my world has become a wreck, a fractured carcass of scattered & shattered dreams.
I look up, reach out, to an ocean of people,
..... nevertheless I am drowning.
Stolen heart & short of breath, wearing a smile but its folly I'm clowning.

One slip, I trip, I tip, I fall,
like Alice spiralling into that long dank hole.
To be reborn, shut away, its dark & damp ....
I see no evil here,
nothing -
dumb & innocent as a velvet vole.

**** this world of Health & Safety
'They' hold the key - I need to be free !!!
precious hours slip through my paws, like grains of sand trickling slowly through this dreary landscape of my life.

Abandoned toys strewn from this caged cot called home.
Spangled desires, dangled & strangled, thrown up on the sand storm,
discarded by fates hand
please, someone take my hand ? and guide me through this dark n' peppered land.
