Escape, without words

A mind filled to overflowing

With maps and images

Famous painters

& women's breasts

Still mountain mists

From the East of Saigon

Enter into the night time

Wait for quiet to fall

Darkness to take her shadows

Memories of dusk clamber

For your erstwhile attention

Detention is worth the call

From the rest of the world

Mon Plaisir

I can’t drill down

Any deeper

Alone I am unable

To magnify the view

I do remember a window

The lane a little steeper

There was a garden 

& a small kitchen

With two colourful cockatoo

Fields for potatoes

Before

The long curved beaches

Yet out beyond the reaches 

I was so often absent

Just as the image shows

I stayed out of view

There are pedestrians

Close-up; together strolling

Along the promenade

They sojourn  towards the town

Did you wonder that I wondered

On the hope of walking out with you

Thin Air

The words hold themselves

I have no way of propulsion

You, where my thoughts lay

May be scared how they lie

Unable to hold or elucidate

I only wish of her lost ether

Readers, in their lonely rooms

Call out; it is the other lovers cry

Pre Prenuptial

I tried to believe I could let go

Even before we started

I wanted to show, define

That my love was strong &

However long we were together

The treasure would have been mine

I would be sure & secure enough

To wish you much future happiness 

On the day that we would surely part

Yet once started by your refinement

I inclined to play the game too well

& lost. I reassigned my trial belief. Go

Aznavour

She, woman of man's life

Where would we be, without 

Her otherwise attractions

He, man of woman's life

Who would otherwise

Be, less of undue distractions
