Enjoy the fruits of summer

Avocado prawn

Avogadro’s norm

Enjoy the fruits of summer


Forget the beef and grizzle

And the turkey twizzle

Instead pray let the herb oils drizzle

Crampons for security

You’re galvanised with energy

I’m corroding, turning rust to dust


Your stainless sheen is shining

My pitted mind is blind


You’re climbing cliff-tops surely

I’m using crampons for security


Your certainty is widening

Yourself you’re swiftly finding


My broken shafts are not for laughs

These words, they’re just the gas

Inclinations

Endless complications

Wordless conversations

Forgotten combinations

Splendid isolations


Removed from all temptations

Distance dulled sensations

No communiqué or revelations

Dependant isolations


Craving recreations

Return on base to stations

A pairing of incantations

A wasted life of separations

Endless stew

Its been four months of poems

Since she asked me to be going


That’s long enough for other stuff

To take me off and trawling


So what stops you lad, what drives you mad

What holds you back, from your oats a sowing


Well if that I knew, in this endless stew

I would have ended by forgoing

Celtic summer frocks

I’ll think of her more than I can thank her

My minds been like a canker

I’ve walked along the waters edge

I’ve trod my footsteps in the sand to pledge


So stay awhile

Beneath this summer smile

Observe these soaring cliffs

Beneath of which I sit to sift


Soliloquy or fast

Passed places ever last

Moss and luxurious lichen

Waters from the kitchen


Its fibered growth turns grumbling rocks

In to the colours of Celtic summer frocks

Sand, and sand, through twisted toes does tumble

Grains to maintain this odd refrain so humble


Again sustained by summer’s sun

Upon which I sure must not stumble
