Purely by Accident

When I accidentally entered a striptease bar

And got accosted by Pretty Miss Marr,

I said to Miss Coral,

“Are you girls quite moral?”,

As I returned that young lady’s bra …

I can Not Buy the Sky

6 Replies

I can not buy the sky

Or the restless sea.

I have bought sweet scented flowers

But they and I

Are not the sea and sky.

 

 

The brevity of hours

Are unknown to flowers.

They fear not

The graveyard plot.

The Fox’s Bark

2 Replies

Sometimes the fox’s bark

Pierces the dark

As our bodies meet

Under comforting sheets.

A girl’s soft kiss

And exploring hands

Can command my lust.

But your bark,

So cold and sharp

Speaks of dust.

 

I Am Tired

2 Replies

I am tired.

Should I compose a rhyme

To women and wine?

I have desired

Both women and wine

But all pens run dry

And I

Grow so tired

Of rhyme

Of women and wine.

Love

Leave a reply

After an evening of laughter,

Restaurants and wine,

You took off your robe.

Now I find

Girl’s heels in my wardrobe

You left behind.

 

Am I a mere magpie?

I have found earrings

And other such similar things

Young women leave behind.

But love would be divine.

Drains Gurgling with Rain

I pass by

Drains gurgling with rain.

How quickly rain

Drains away.

 

 

You and I

Are like the rain.

But rain

Does not die.

A Poem for the New Year

2 Replies

“Janus” appears in my collection “More Poetic Meanderings”, which was published in 2023:

 

 

Janus waits in the wings.

As with previous dead years

He will bring

Laughter and tears.

 

Doors open and close.

The futurologist thinks he knows

What the future holds.

 

But Janus thumbs his nose,

And history goes

On as before;

And where it goes

Heaven only knows.
