Poem four
Meeting on the banks of the Nile
You could see people going past on benches
We moved, and rolled the lawn for them,

I see my true love everywhere
To be insured against the contingencies of fate
A discourse where half the answers come too late
Their leavened bread was eating you whole
From out of time’s mists the church bells toll
Shit Eating Green
Shit eating Green you’re going to go far
Ecologist on television you’re a movie star
Dope smoking jungle walking environmentalist
Governments and corporations on your hit-list
SHORELINES
Went down to the water’s edge
Spoke with the sea
About all the things that were on my mind
Of governments and policy
STAR WARRIOR
To navigate the eternal now
Seeking past and future in the present
Star warrior, eagle-like amongst the galaxies
The Behemoth of the Deeps
Temples of the briny, star-encrusted cave mouths
Realms of razorwire around the sacred sacrosanct abomination
Hallowed ground where now rosebay-willowherb and poppies
THE FAT CAT SITS ON THE MAT
I’m a Fat Cat
Reaping the profits of insider dealing
I’m a Fat Cat
I’m into “in-the-know” trading
The King Is Dead; Long Live the King!
Just be, live, carry on, receive and give.
Is madness a reason for not knowing?
The Proseman’ s Guide to Writing Poetry
All lines should rhyme
Because when reading it
This saves a lot of time!
“Wanderjahr” – (The Wandering Years.)
I am a serious poet, and also a serious headcase
Some days now I seldom show it, but once I was hit with mace!
Yes I want it, yes I need it, I bleed regret but can

When God drops His crumbs
When God drops his crumbs
Into our muddling pool of reality
They tumble to earth
Windows XP I Salute You!
Windows XP you were the greatest
Though of operating systems not the latest
My friend through times both rough and smooth

When We First Heard the News
We heard it on the Beeb, it was no freebie
This news so sad, that the mother of our monarch
Was deceased. She went in her sleep, for,
She’d had a good life.
WEDDING POEM
All hail thee, lovely laughing maid!
On this auspicious day thy match hath made!
The Lord shall Bless, and all shall see
And on this day, shall married be!
Wordy Beast
I tied a dead body to my steed
And dragged it through the dusty town
It was the corpse of American democracy
SEX IN THE 80s.
You may be all grown-up and free from guilt concerning sex
But I’m not, I’m caught in some God-damn 80s hex
Belonging to a long-forgotten age of superstition
Second Skin
Before I cast off my second skin
And let the silky darkness in
Turn off the light
And into night
Spill the day’s noise and din.
REDEMPTION POEM
When will I listen? When will I learn?
The right to exist doesn’t equal the right to earn
Over the Bridge
Cross the bridge- Budge!
Criss cross
Pipes, Cables, Girders, Bolts
Whilst up high
Birds wheel in the silky sky
Land treads softly at water’s heel
ON A LOVELY DAY, COBO, CASTEL, GUERNSEY
ELECTRIC ARCHING CRISS-CROSS, MAUVE AZURE AND BLUE
A RIPPLING CORUSCATING COLLAGE OF COLOURS DANCING IN THE SEA-SAND-SCAPE
SUN DIPPED BELOW TUMESCENT KOHL-RIMMED HORIZON
Of Charming Monsters
Who am I?
I am the sun that shines on everyone
Lights you up from tip to toe
Tell you things, perhaps
You’d rather not know
NO NUKES IS GOOD NUKES
NUCLEAR FAST BREEDER REACTOR
SPEEDING TIME IN FISSION FACTOR
PARANOIA BREEDS DISTRUST AND DISDAIN

Negativity Poem
Bad People
They Swear a lot
They don’t Care a lot
They Spam a lot
They Jam a lot.
KRAW T’CHI
The rising sun faces
The sickening moon
And the fires in the engines
Go on one by one
I Was A Rasta

I HAVE SEEN MY TRUE SOUL.
I have seen my true soul:
It is neither young nor old
Neither rich nor poor
Neither a believer nor an atheist
HUMAN WEED.
Working in gardens
Tangle of weeds menaces at me
Parched soil where weeds are concreted in
Arthur’s Castle
Thunder from a jar
Lies
Stored
Taken from afar
Lies
FRAGMENTS.
Fragments of life is all we have.
Crazy-Paving-Yellowbrick shithouse
Road to Nowhere Everywhere
Shining crock of golden shit
Fools no-one
Everyone loves it.
Evidently, Donkey Town
The bloney traffic’s bloney slow
Everywhere you bloney go
The bloney Social’s bloney tight
The thugs in pubs all love to fight
Enough Conceit.
Yak yak yatter
Nic nik natter
How I hate the chit and chatter
Aimless as starlings
Pointless as meteorites
Abstract trajectories
EARTH CHILD.
Before the wind kissed my feet
I tied ten blessings in a sheet
Cursed by a crow, carried afar
Don’t call me on Tuesday my socks are neat
Ten thousand crushed cataclysmic catacombs
I thought you had wallpaper paste in your hair
It was a drowned apocalypso downed your daisies at dawn anti-cymex egg-smeller!!
It was you megalithic monolithic van der Graff
Dark Gardens of the Empyrean
MEETING ON THE BANKS OF THE NILE
YOU COULD SEE PEOPLE GOING PAST ON BENCHES
WE MOVED, AND ROLLED THE LAWN FOR THEM
‘Crow’-magnon
Shining bright over Moytura
A glistening sea of spears and blades
In the dark, denizens illuminate
Come Closer
You sat
Like a cat
Blue eyed and
Perfectly relaxed.
CHRIS IS A VERY SPECIAL GUY
YOU WANT TO KNOW AND ASK ME WHY?
Because he is humorous and always funny
Even if he has not much money
Behind Bars
This poem should be behind bars!
It injects drugs and drives around in cars!
It meets loose ladies and hangs around in bars!
This poem should be behind bars.
Beauteous morn to see the day
Beauteous morn to see the day
Young babe sleeping in a manger lay
Peaceful, innocent and so full of life.
