Every Girl Loves Her Shoulder Tattoo

Avoid the circle
Of cruel cutthroats
Of the ilk
Your pirate father
Associated with
When he stole your mother
From your school teacher grandfather.

Maintain your refined taste
For expensive wine
After the art gallery nights
And the Chinese poetry dawns.

Do not succumb
To base superficial joys
And the motorcycle-gang violence
Of the illiterate boys,

But of course,
Every girl

Person Of Interest

In the twenty first century big brother is at large
Don't slip up, he's there ready to take charge
Viewing our movements as we shop and slip along in a hurry
Zooming in to pick out from the throng
Furtive behaviour of teens who hang about too long
Yes, a suspect..long of limb, clean cut and oozing character
He's been clocked, surveillance steps up
His table manners, how he holds his cup
The female of the species focuses and decides
Take hold of an arm and take him for a ride
She decides and maps out his future and his fate
This person of interest will succumb when he
accepts a cheeky request for that first date.

Years

The years they slow become us
Numb unto our age
They rage and then succumb us
Each turning of the page.

The sky in green is melting
The grass felt fabric blue
As I am sure of falling
In and out of love with you.

No reason for a failure
No method to return
No lover, nor a saviour
No lesson left to learn.

The years they are about us
And fastening the belt
No room to move on land
No sky now left to melt.

Sonnet: My Strategy

The more and more troubles come to me, God,
The more and more, fervently will I pray;
And I’ll expose the devil’s utter fraud,
And never will I succumb to its way.

And when the devil grips my soul tighter,
The grace of god will come to rescue me;
My Angel Guardian will be my fighter;
He’ll keep my soul pure for Eternity.

Thou wilt be pleased with my perseverance;
My love for Thee will grow stronger with time;
There wilt then grant me my deliverance;
My earthly-life will turn forev’r sublime.

Thus, let me hold onto Thee God forev’r!
Nothing can my love for Thee ever sev’r.

Refusing to Become Anyone's 'Grief' Co-pilot

I don't drip or sob tears.
Like some who have a gift for it.
I am exposed everyday...
To pain and sorrow.
Hopelessness shared.
Among those with their agonies to borrow.

I've been tested by wickedness.
With prehaps more of it to come.
But I will not succumb to shiftlessness.
Or become attracked to those...
With nothing but pity on their lips.
I am here to taste happiness.
And if I am alone...
That's just more of it I will come to like.
Refusing to become anyone's 'grief' co-pilot!

And if you are about to take off?
You can have the runway.
And from it...

Warmth

The days warm wraps itself...
Secure in this heat---
Cozy and at ease-in the sun...
But my yawn betrays me--
As sleep is beckoning me...
As my eyelids droop--
Halfway over my green...
Wanting to shut completely;
My head bobs-quickly abrupt--
And for a second i sleep;
Back awake immediately-on alert...
Wide-eyed but not bushy tailed! ! !
Not wanting to miss--
The days tender kiss...
From the Sun--
Before day is done;
The warm engulfs me once again--
Like a comforter...
Or patchwork quilt...
Oft' used in the Winter;

041010d Physical Day For Me

ole! freddy melted to the green
putting didn't work so as the swing
blame it on the back that is acting
or maybe pressure to be atop a game
when you're getting close to speed limit
there are things body could do some slip

great tommy almost did the same
still hanging in there like kenny
sandy just succumb and melted away
so many of us think playing golf is easy
tell stories plus strokes than it was
when you hold that club and swing
you really don't know exactly where
it is going but for me i go out there

d'masters
fred couples 16,17,18 crash
tom watson still fine

Blackslide

I for one have faith quite strong

In the Lord above I can't go wrong

Amidst adversities I just kneel to pray

Ask God for guidance so I can't go astray

Yet as human I am not perfect

Temptations insist I can't detect

That sometimes I just found lost

And weary that my faith can't boost

Love

Love can be a waiting game
A lazy crazy hating game
It tugs your shirt when you ignore it
Kings and Queens bow down before it
Power wealth and education
No defence to love's temptation
People of the world succumb
To all loves powers they are dumb
But love can cause such hurt inside
Yet place a smile on blushing bride
Take it lightly at your peril
Never tamed and always feral
So be warned if you start falling
Or ask love to come a calling
Take on board just what i'm saying
With the devil you are playing
Harness love and hold it's hand
And you could see the promised land
But just remember what i've said
And never take your love as read.

Suburban satisfaction

Suburban satisfaction
~
A small northern town
Built on industry and mining
Slowly dying, over populated
People meander through life
Holding down jobs and family
A few dream to get away
To better the choices on offer
Others have long given up
Tired of pretending in faith
The streets littered, stand vacant
Crying out for attention
The bars crammed with locals
All looking to be entertained
To talk about the same old stories
That can be heard down the road
There are a few lights to be seen
How long will they shine
Before they succumb to expectation
