"deferral" poems
Regret is not
The fleeting deferral of
some brief romance
Regret is
the inability to react
to the irreversible moment
of something created
slipping away
(My boy Jamie being led
into that bitter cold by
a hand that should have
been none
but my own)
Photographs
faded pulpit dark and
winter noon grey
are but the same as
extinguishing candles
to mark , instead , what
could have been done
for the world
(I thought they were better off
being together
with their own kind
so I used to hurry past
them waiting for the trains
their children tidy and
smiling, nevertheless)
And the Angelus bell
will continue to ring
long after we all rot.
And the ghosts we share
will take all but their
names with them, to
be dug up for some
purpose of record
to fissure a cause for disquiet
along the nuns' walk wall.
(Before that, she had been
such a carful girl
and these days I
wince at the sound
of giggles which
remind me of hers.)

Before you go to the place burial
Before the world goes unreal
Before God ceases to be ideal
Before man becomes asocial
Before Money becomes viral
Stop Money from become visual.
When you give any approval
To let cruel Money be initial
Pave path pathetically deferral.
We know Money is very vital
Many for it with brothers quarrel.
Stop Money from become visual.
Human never before money trivial,
Money – a means to be happy total
Is a wrong belief as it is only defrayal.
Let be a man, lion, fox or camel
Be it gold, silver, iron or metal
Stop Money from become visual.
Why to treat Money so special
When human nature is acquittal?
Many times it needs one’s approval
To change man who is immoral:
God is watching You! Ye Mammal.
Stop Money from become visual.

What were you believing
A mere five years ago
Have you moved on from there
Or did it soothe your soul?
Perhaps it makes more difference
Than anyone would care to know
But it seems the human mind
Was designed to grow...
Surely the test of life awaits
Beyond this world a deferral fate
Into an abyss of eternal bliss
If you make some sort of list...
Thanks to the
Luck of the draw
Forty six and 2
This is something
I already clawed through..

Deferral an insidious skulking mortal
born out of apathy where tenacity is held.
Creeps through nerves leaving trails
of poisonous narcotics, pulls on the strings
of a fragile brain.
Feeds on a grit in lethargy
mind desperately seeks to awake,
contaminates ambitions by turning
desires into dreams.
Finds it death by chocking
On gulps of great passions and resolve.
