Stormy waters

white-capped waves
surging across the windswept sea,
fuming spray and foam
they look like the ribs
of a watery skeleton
slowly floating to the shore,
where they will crash
amid the tangled sticks and weeds
piled in water devastated heaps
incoming waves rear
then smash the beach
gasping aloud as they break

the snarthling fentra

crept him out
one darkling day
when finnelling was quorn

and everything
was out of touch
and in a dundring scorn

saw he did
the novel flaw
'een when the the surge was torn

he kept his wits
until the daw
when all taboos are shorn

next he squove
to be enthralled
on such a quinsey morn

he proudly stood
and roared his blast
from his high and mighty horn

Comparisons

the times i've spent with you
and the times i've spent with her
drawing close comparisons
how good our good times were. . .

you made me feel so good
i knew i had your heart
she made me feel so used
like an actor with his part. . .

she made me feel so dull
my mind would fall asleep
you always pulled me down
to your strange and mystic deep. . .

she said she'd never had me
the way it oughta be
you said nothing matters
a spirit must be free. ..

nothing really matters
simplicity is all
your heart is just your mind
and love is just a fall. . .

Retrospective forty-three

love comes down
like falling rain
that moistened up my eyes,

obscure riddles
thrown in pain
have cluttered up my skies,

what goes out
must come back
far more cool than wise,

every wall
will have a crack
the sun will set and then will rise.

endless boogie
never fails
