Basin

There was no one here
Yet quite suddenly
It is busy

There was nothing to fear
Even the past
Of dizzy Miss Lizzie

These are hill people
Hills and valleys
Grass to stream

Dry stone walls
Surround
Sheep farmers dream

Barns and bairns
At work and play
Tor views that redeem

Absence Of Free Will

It is not that I am torn
It is more that my mind
Seems to go
Just wherever it damned well chooses

I have been in love before
I am in love again now
Images & memories
Which my mind frequently abuses

If on occasions forlorn
If caught on barbs that bind
I am resigned to follow her
Just wherever she damned well pleases

If to think of the spotlit dance floor
To shuffle so lightly how
With footsteps and body sways
She poses, she teases

Tumblr

Escape
Without words
A mind filled to overflowing
With maps and images
Famous painters
And 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

Thin Air

The words hold themselves
I have no way of propulsion
You, where my thoughts go
Might be scared that they lie

Unable to hold or elucidate
I can only wish of their lost ether
Readers, in the lonely rooms
Call out; this is another lovers cry

Aznavour

She
Woman of man's life
Where would we be without 
Her otherwise attractions

He
Man of woman's life
Who would otherwise
Share less undue distractions
