Sand in my shoes
Plans along a sandy path
Bearing all the gritty news
A nitty grain for every view
Strains of human emotion
So much lyrical sand in the world
Refrains for human revolution
How does love go on
Year after evolutionary year
Without you near
Some far off dream
I've dreamt you here
No apologies for my sadness
How can we go on without gladness
Without embracing love
Accepting bleeding love here
Love's many brooding fears
That moody fortune teller was right
Dealing the only Hangman card
Such a dank and humid night
Revealing that rank and lowly Hermit card
Lastly the tell - only actions speak
Louder than crass cards or lonely words
Brassband remarks from an unruly crowd
Benchmarks left by their sultry tones
Bleak bare bones
Purchased so far away
Besmirched by all
Our fairy tale love
That far away love we sought
Under the brilliant Southern Cross
Speaking sensual love
Consensual sonnets as we swayed
Far above an ocean of contemptuous residue
Beyond all that was left of our broken lives
Hacked and submerged
Converged by love
Breathing below the restive surface
Drowning ourselves in a restless vortex
Crowning sex with some token strife
Beneath love's fraught fancies
Wrought in our darling harbour
Believing in what is right
Adoring my daring wife
Framed by her brooding love
Crowned by love's bloody thorns
Traces of our blessed love
Two distressed sea turtles
Nesting on impressive shores
Abhorring love's ruddy atmosphere
Scratching rife plans in dry red dirt
Wry life etched out with a lusty stick
We're swimming nude with crusty sharks
Rudely dancing o'er a bed of red hot coals
Beached rebels coming out of their painted shells
Crudely romancing love's oceanic dark
Tantric masters soaring o'er a sultry park
O'er a sea of love's sandy descendants
Bandy coral reef defendants
Bleached and wallowing
Such Pilot Whale love
Regarding those shallow shoals
Love's soulful attendants
Guiding  pods of sorry fellows
So we sleep far from the shallows
Safe under a sea of coral stars
Snug beneath undulating waves from heaven
Bliss where love and I once held you midst all that fuss
Precious home fixed between us
Mixed blessings between our anxious arms
But reckless dreams don't come true
Still we sleep beneath the restless sky
Chilled by the yearning deep blue sea
Such abstruse mystery
Overtly submerging you and me
Deliverance covertly bequeathed
Destiny a lover's aqualung
Oxygen inhaled with each emerging sorrow
Nitrous bubbles exhaled by truth and love
Breaking the acid surface
Impaled by swarming legions
Those deadly men of war
Yet another sad tomorrow
Remarks from the gelid moon
Crying o'er historic blue moons
Aphrodite kneels before the relic sea
Welcoming Earth's sacred waters
Reforming astrological guest lists
All those graceful swans and perfumed roses
Rescinding love's astronomical beck and call
Myrtus communis decked with coy doves and song sparrows
Normal apologies remitted via snail mail
Venus ensuring bent cosmogony shall prevail
Sailing hopelessly around love's cosmic center
Circumnavigating maternal poles
Resisting - I paternally desist
Heave-to - returning home
Distressed by grievous love
Guessing heavenly love might still me
Impressed by love's dreams
Crazed love punishing the best
Razed love sighing when it fails
Brazen love lying unveiled
Hungry passion refusing to fill me
Famished compassion regaled
Grounded above fashionably high water marks
Roundly loving that high and dry
A welcome sandy place
Where driftwood dreams are found
Wassailed and assailed
Bleached with the rest
Wondering if fire and water truly matter
Wandering naked and confused
Lost in new love's restless chatter
Smatterings from the old mad hatter
Battering and derailing ready guests
Costly love's harsh and heady test.

Some fragment,
A hint of joy,
There's a royal tangent,
Where love goes,
Seems a plan,
Seems a ploy,
Some play,
A lovely day,
There stands a lovely girl,
Hand in hand with a loving boy,
So the lovely sun shines,
Love birds recite spiritual rhymes,
Remarkably peace sings and harmony prevails,
Rightfully in that place where love stops time,
Such a frightful realm midst so many holy grails,
Where brave compassion dwells,
Rare middle earth and a breath of fresh,
Perfumed air scenting each and every dell,
Such a beautiful sensible dream,
Enmeshed with glory and superfluous cream,
If only the storied stars and planets might align,
If only jealous moonlight could share its secret design,
Possibly contrite sighs and love would find us,
Perhaps insightful love would never pale,
All this beautiful good,
All our human desires and moods,
If our loving hearts truly understood,
Perhaps true love would never fail.

Tragedy ignites so many fires,
Music incinerates my tired being,
Self immolation when love retires,
You are what I'm seeing,
I'm drinking you in again,
You gave life new meaning,
Electricity coursing through my veins,
I'm lost in your sultry eyes,
Kiss after torrid kiss,
Sultry love is all that finally remains,
Little did I know how impersonal it all is,
Fucking is just fucking biz,
Love doesn't come the same,
Enter into the carnal stage,
Fucking is as just fucking is,
Subterfuge when love is full of rage,
Love refuses when love is disengaged.

Here in peaceful Nogunzorfetter
Bordering an insightful world
One might know us well
They could know us better
Sharing Tim Horton's blissdom
Wisdom surrounding this village girthdom
Middle Earth found edging this remote fiefdom
Expounding a fledgling right
Pledging respect and peaceful nights
Nary blight or confrontation nor willing fight
But all is not contrite
Alas I dreamed a black attack
Mass carnage witlessly performed
Crass clanging
Pairs of dangling chopsticks
My oh my voracity
One salty meal of savoury licks
Himalayan pink sprinkled like star dust
Pompous sugarism corralling ravaged grains of rice
Picked on from the moral start
Part of each oral recipe and ill refrain
First accosted then abused
Judged like some second place fusion of mustard and fudge
Unbudgingly sentenced to unlikely thirds
Roasted in pies with small unwilling birds
Dry thoughts carnally chewed
Bare restraints exposing some neoimpressionistic rage
Subjectively gauging realistic reformation
Defamation of complete and utter starvation
Breatharians unite fighting for the right
Information and unresolved human hunger
Subjecting bitter plants to angry steam
Three sisters swimming in cream,
Sauced in buttery fat
Slathering rich edges of glossy tureens
Spilling over with the Spanish Inquisition
Rearranging science and spent molecules
Follicles bent by course morbid transition
Changing merciful colour
Living green to rent and painfully cooked
Moot victims exposed
Found limp and lifeless
Soundly steamed to death
Steam chamber victims
Holocausts of hungry reckless thinking
Concocting remorseless tragedy
Thank you for our daily drama
Not a common wealth
Not a natural season of rude guffaw
Hooded brooding due to  goody menus
Noodling in cahoots with undue stealth
Dressing leaves and seeds and roots
Such a raw and vicious diet
Undressing and rebalancing a rough state
Some regressed naked phalanx
Like a rare impressionable breed
Bleeding New York steaks
Marbles in tweed suits
Marbled lewdness existing
Food on some crude and garbled footing
Vegans and other marvelous dudes
Recklessly questioning
Feckless kitchen cooking

фонтан Покровський











 City Park Font


Blue water feature,

Balancing a green city park,


Spurting plumes of cold sparkling water,


Warm people funneling together,

Frequent passionate moments and eager minutes,


Girls playing with boys,


Boys performing for the girls,


Children and tots frolic and race,


Doting mothers secure the place,


Communally a cooperative space,


Nurturing beautiful wisdom and truth,


Glorious nature encircling this sacred grace,


Fountains for refreshing youth,


Such a splendid effervescing feature,


Water refrains in the jersey park,


Comfort and balm for collective creatures.
