its your life
and that is all you
need to know-
lily rolls a spliff-

what is true?
live spiritual if
you feel so-live
the way you want

to-we regret if
we do and we regret
if we don´t-
understand enough-

time don´t give a
rat´s ****
i mean just to say
because..

ii

in the garden
the spiky thrusts
will not quit

we bleed our
inspiration thus
f or fight

or civilization
to trust
purple insect

flitter through
lust
diaphanous

with purpose
red with purpose
or us..

were waiting..
o heaven above!
no,
hell below?

the bit between..
1+1=?
what we want
we want..
Michael John Jun 2023
say a word of truth
lily-lu
like dog food
tell it true

like a bad tooth
in honest
supplication
i wait..
Michael John Jun 2023
say some word
about regret
lily something
deep and meaning-
ful..
unnecessary
she quips-it
says it all..

i want what i

all very well lily,
but a man´s conscience
and understanding
is his own..
and we are not in
the business
of the judgemental..

iii

the materialistic
make us sick-
all very well but-
we have to eat-
-we have to die to
live-
-the spiritual,
don´t
put the beans on
to the toast..does it..

iv

in the garden hosts
of color-
tis, verily, the time
of year,
with fused-intellect
as creators-the
love we are-
gods, or purple insects,
through air
flitter-diaphanous..
blooms trickle
red and wet-
dew-all that is to
beautiful
too true!-(like a cremer!)
time is stilled..

work is the
word!
(or do nothing
up to you)

stare at a wall,
kick a ball,
hark the call!-
time is true..
Michael John May 2023
one over the eleven!
died and in heaven
seven to one
all has gone
the living sun
angels come
some have lost and
some won
eating and drinking
and drinking and
eating..

how difficult to be
an artist
lily muses

everyone wants a
piece
hunger too

verity
is for
posterity..

may cut me
******* ear
off

or apply
for a grant
blue..

ii

how difficult just
to be
(no-one asked
me)

perhaps, i would
have
preferred
to float

some distant
mote
or a purple
insect

or fish
jesus wept
to be or not
to be..
