Stir it up

Stir it up

Don’t stir it up

Again


Trip up

Tripped up

Once before


Slip cup

Slip of satin silk

Skip


Strap

Fond shoulder

Trap

Ken

Then it’s a new life, ken

Stride for, from strife, to strike, to ken

Blow away the smokescreen, ken

A new day, a new persona, do you ken

Sunk, I’ve fallen out of love

My demented mind descended

Pretended it had been doing good


My times past have been lamented

Cemented dams opened to the flood


All past promises are now rescinded

Crescendo to the sound of going rough


Your likes, dislikes, flights of fancy are contended

They are sent packing, with the candle that I snuff


No more string-less invitations extended

One too many open arms, becalm unfriendly stuff


Happy times stored safe, easily remembered

You have cut me so so deep with your indifference


So deep

I am sunk, and so I have fallen out of love

Autograph your dicrotic cast

That rook and that fair raven

Over the sea from Milford Haven

Cigarettes stamped ‘A’ by company Craven


Ashberry and yew, and years spent misbehaving

Words untrue, lines that slew, croons that keep on slaving

Crows and crows and thought yo yo’s, leaving and waving


The hour glass tipped and turned to yesterday

The wayward path tripped to Everglade

The Sunshine orchestra is ready for the stage


That rook and that fair raven

Grass and dales, pail with ships that sailed

Rails into the distance on cowpokes trails


Leaves of glass on shattered brass

Diamonds; the impasse from rusty pasts

Lust and laugh, autograph your dicrotic cast

Shuffle the raffle

Like a sparrows wing you were broken

Whilst I was feasting on Baudelaire

Hustle, harrow among dust bowls, soft words spoken

Never near, once more we, we were keeping clear


Midnight hour, crescent moon, for you the only token

Whilst I immersed in Poe and Mr. Arnold dear

Shuffle, ruffle, audits amongst dawn’s chorus woken

Ever to steer, rudder less throughout the sphere
