Carry me gently
Over the lilting waves
Towards the Spanish sea;
Let my moonlight skin
spark the water around me and
guide my floating body to where my
soul shall rest.

I let the tide take its course,
Trusting Poseidon to grant me mercy and
pull me to my heart's crying need before it
bursts and spatters the
ocean's clarity.

Bobbing up and down like a seagull
I can taste the salty spray - it
tempts me further towards the
island of my dreams, and the
bitterness on my tongue will
transform into the sweetest nectar of
the gods, when I wash up there.

It is not the laws of men which
carry me gently over the
lilting waves, but the
buoyant love within me that
keeps me afloat and
full of hope.
This poem is about how I want to be reunited with my boyfriend who lives in Ibiza. We haven't seen each other since March due to the pandemic and the fact I may be able to see him next month makes me crave him even more.

Okay So This Verse Speaks...
Upon Biblical Themes...

Because Words Like These...
Now Really Don’t Seem...
To Have Too Much Worth...!?!

Because The Meek ARE NOT...
Inheriting The Earth... !!!

They’re Inheriting A World...
Where New Tech Will Serve...
To DISTURB Their Nerves... !!!

And A World That Now...
Is Demanding Lockdowns...
That Are Causing Frowns...

And Inheriting... NO CROWDS... !!!!!
Until A Solution Can Now Be Found...

To What... “ Apparently “...
Could Cause A Human Rout... !!!

So Watch Those... " I Clouds "...
And Tech Type Sounds...
Cos The Meek Won’t Speak...
About These Things Now... !!!

Cos The Meek Will Concede...
To... Inherited Scenes...

Where Police Will Receive...
Technological Feeds...
As To Who EXACTLY...
Carries This Disease...

That Some Have Inherited...
From... Oversees...

The Chinese... " Allegedly "... ?!?
Were The First To Be Seen As Being Unhealthy... !!!

But Now It Seems...
That Almost Everybody …
Across The World Globally...
May Inherit What Could Be …

A... Global TRAGEDY... !!!

A True CATASTROPHE For Humanity... !!!!!!!!

So Now The Meek WILL Inherit...
A World of Bad Credit...
NO Bruce Wayne Or Gordon Levitt... !!!

To Remove The Threat …
That Is Bouncing Cheques...
And Now Causing Stress …
As Well As MANY Problems... !!!

So The Meek Can Now Attest...
To Inheriting Less Than Has Been Professed...
As To What They'll Get In Their Biblical Text...

So May Well Get Upset...
By The Text That They’ve Read...
That They... Chose To Accept...
And Believe Like Sheep...
Ready To Be... “PENNED”... !!!

And That Right There...
Is Where I’ll End...

This Poem That Says...
That In Times Like These It’s A Shame To See...
So Many People... PROVE To Be... !!!

The Sheople of Humanity...

Who Now... CLEARLY
Seem Happy To Be....
Inheriting... Being Weak...!?!

Because...
Now That Things Are Looking Bleak... !!!
They Are Proving To Be.....

........ “ The Meek “.......
Obviously, written before what happened to George Floyd RIP !!!
Anyway, at the time of writing this, it was pretty clear that, much that was deemed as being Biblical, that the Corona Virus started to throw into question, like new technology has now done, made me realise how strangely religious communities actions have been, since the Corona started to dictate terms to us all.

Especially, as I don't believe any of their deities told anybody, that they need to isolate, and do what very iffy, government leaders and officials say.

Hence, This piece .......

There at the heart of the nation a great edifice
a temple if you will
erected to reflect the very best and greatest hopes of a nation.
While the cities burn
is it swift breaking dawn of a new age for the Republic,
or is it a last whispering death rattle of Democracy that we witness from the steps of these hallowed grounds
I tell myself not to fear
our nation has struggled through many great trials
to have found its way back from many dark days...
yet, still, the cities burn...
yet still, our nation divided...
We can only stand on these steps of Lincoln's epitaph
bear silent witness and hope
hope

The rain welcomed me, as it was
I am to be this gray day.
Unending unraveling, seemingly,
corona's as the concrete, grey.

My roots always reaching
the rich brown Earth beneath,
strengthen my stride,

as walking through it am I.
To where or what I do not know,
for, discovery of life is stalking.
Yet, I'll be in the moment so,
if and when I can I will fly.

In each day I pray to be that I,
what, where, how, when,
who and sometimes why.
For, uplifting life isn't a task.

So, though the Sun's light is masked,
this night that's the virus' day won't last.
As it's direction, clear and bright,
does glean through the clouded
cover of covid's night.

Still, this walk that's walking me,
is what reality is to be.
And while these flaming embers glow,
I'll walk this path with life so ....

Yet, to you I do entreat,
if and when you two meet,
will you allow for the you to be,
and not recede from reality.

So, that to this day all that have gone,
leaving you this to carry on,
will have their potential realized as well,
let evolution be the bell.
(Fore soothed by All.  Thanx to Orleans for the title lyric of their great song, quoted above as title)

The leaves May be a May green,
And spring May almost be out,
But to me it is still March,
And April May never come.

May-be it will be March
Until I get back in August.
May-be March won’t ever end.
;) so that means in all of March I’ve been rejected 3 times, one of which I probably shouldn’t count.

Also I just realized that I have 72 followers. Thank you, you amazing 72 people! (I thought I still had 49)

For the first time in history
It’s the humans in captivity
As we’re told to stay inside
And cut down on all activity

We need to let earth heal
And repair form our damage
Its a message from god
For us to stop being savage

We are a guest on the earth
It’s the only way we can live
I hope once this is all over
We can all move on and forgive

In this time of uncertainty
Don’t think about just yourself
There are vulnerable people
Who are in very week health

If we all stick together
We can make this time better
And if you don’t understand
Just please re read this letter

So What’s...
Happened To The CHATTER... ?

About... Black Lives Matter... ?!?

DON'T They Matter NOW...
That... Coronas Around... ?!?

Well It Has To Be Said...
That Our Younger Heads...
Are Those We Should Protect...

From The Virus’s Spread...
As Well As... New Tech... !!!

Like Chips Being Placed...
... INSIDE of Them... !!?!!

So That They Can Be Tracked...
By... "Governments"... !!!

Because What Matters To Them...
Has Been Causing Problems...
For A... LOT of Children... !!!

Due To Violence...
That’s Leaving Some DEAD... !!!

So.....
How About Women... ?!?

Do They Really Matter Now...
To Men Who Are Hounds...
For What They Have DOWN SOUTH... ?!?

Well Folks DON'T You Doubt...
That Men Will FLOUT...

New Laws To Get...
Their Penises Wet And To Get Some ***...
Ya See ****** Needs Will Surely Supersede...
The Need To NOT Breach Corona Policies... !!!!!!!!

If You Don’t Believe Me... ?
Just Wait And See.............................

Social Distancing........................

WON'T STOP *** Trips...
Or... Stuff Like This... !!!!!!

So Does Race Matter In Times Like These...
Where This Corona Disease Has EMPTIED Streets...
And Clearly BATTERED... Any Chance of Unity...

Racism... BELIEVE...
Will Now Be Seen On Internet Feeds... !!!
And In Communities Where Supremacists Be...

And Now...
How About The... LGBT... ???

Do They Matter As Much...
As They Would... LIKE To... ?!?

Well Their Agenda Will Run..
And Will Matter To Some ...
Which Is Clearly Now True...

But Isn’t Something Up If What They Become...
Becomes More Important Than PROCREATION..... ?!?

It’s A Funny Time To Be Writing Rhymes...
When Everybody’s Focussed On Corona Vibes... !!!!!

Does What We Write Now Matter To Minds...
The Type Now Trapped In A World of Rhymes...
Where Bats And Gats' And Dealing In Grime...

Are What Some Say Now Matter Today... !?!

So Do Those Who Entertain …
Now Matter To Brains... ?

Who Now Want MORE...
Than To Sit And Applaud...
These Entertainment ******... ?

It’s A Time To RECOGNISE...

What REALLY And TRULY...
MATTERS In Our Lives... !!!!!

That's A SERIOUS LNE...
That Deserves A REWIND... !!!!

It’s A Time To RECOGNISE...

What REALLY And TRULY...
MATTERS In Our Lives... !!!!!!!!

And That Would Seem To Be...
How It Is We Survive In These Days And Times...

Humanity Needs To Stop All This Greed...
And These Ignorant Breeds...
Who See SUPREMACY As A Goal To ACHIEVE... !?!

So Now That Things Are Shutdown...
Across Borders And Towns …
Where Corona SURROUNDS... !!!

There’s A Thought And A Question...
That Now Resounds Beyond Political Mouths...

And The Question Is This...

“ So Who Matters Now ?!? “ …
An interesting question now ?
it has become
the daily accessory
hated and loved alike
sign of bad times
and limited mobility

by some
   equanimously accepted
   as yet another fashion piece
for others
   a threatening symbol
   of prescribed orders from above
for many
   just a necessary nuisance
    that will go away in time

we certainly need to change
our reflexes upon the sight
of persons masked

    before Corona
         at least in our latitudes
    masks were a sign of robbers and bandits

    now it’s the good guys who wear them
    the bad guys who don’t
    and … how can we be sure of that?

a real challenge to find out
just from the movement of the eyebrows
whether you face a friend
or not
Face masks seem to be a serious problem for more people than one would think, for a variety of reasons. But they also force us to change our interpretations of visual perceptions..
