Without doubt


 Dave without doubt

You are doubly stout

And tripley rare

With quadruplet care.

Only Chloe


Oh, what’s the right gift for a Chloe?

It can’t be the same for a Joey?

It must be unique. It might need mystique.

It may even require something showy.

Mind the mess

 


Well, here we are in the mud

We tried to climb out with a thud

Estranged


It is written

If your brother is distressed 

Bout what you eat or drink

You’re not properly dressed

In the love you often think

Sudden passings


Beloved puppy beyond my reach

My beautiful companion 

I laughed so where now is my speech

How did I you abandon

Two be


We could be two
If you wanted to

New muddle


A kiss and a cuddle

For the first of the muddle

And a cat on your lap

So you can’t do it back

Mud


These footsteps that you left here

In my mud strewn mire

You trudged upon my year

To aid my coastline dire 

Honey

It's funny

Just seen her

It's sunny

To meet her


Crying


No use in crying

Watch her walk away

No point in pining

Watch them turn away

I could tell a tale

 


Words can tend to fail

I want to say so much

I could tell a tale

Of Wendy’s golden touch

Beneath my floor


 Look beneath my fault and floor.

Meet someone else behind my door.

Susan


For me you’ve been a tree

Standing tall and strong

Stretching out to reach 

Me in my stricken song

Jack-built


This is my house that Jack built
I'm not racked with guilt by the cracked tilt
My back is not wilted by the black silt
Though this is a house on a shack stilt

The Bookbook


Oh no! So sad!
I’ve finished my book
I took as long as I could
I’m lost, I’m cooked!

Care less


I should care less
My distress is useless
I should get used to us

Samwise


Motivation
My devotion to myself
Has long stagnated

Legless Wonderer


No single sclerosis
Is scarring my brain
Just one diagnosis
I’m going insane

Unkarchered territory


Mixer mitosis
Stinky my bean
Qwok home syndrome
Topsy between

Birthday Dave


Data Dave
Is very brave
He battles the numbers
And never blunders

Unholme syndrome


You wanted me no more 
My brokenness was rife
You clutched the kids you bore 
It’s me you unadore

Green grass
Sun shines

Testing One Two


Testing 1, 2
It’s covered my shoe 
Testing 3, 4
My knees are sore
Testing 5, 6
My waist is in bits
Testing 7, 8
My chest is dead weight 
Testing 9, 10
My neck is at an end
Testing 11, 12
My head’s on the shelf

Bottled Bee


Would you muzzle a humming bird
To hear it sing no more
Would you bottle a honey bee
To taste no more toffee

Bush Walking


Sleeping Beauty

Cradle Bed

Cathedral Nap

Dreamy Head

Some things

A bug on a wall

An ant in a hole

A bee on a bush

Your very own soul

Yes today

Yesterday 

All my troubles seemed they’re here to stay

Now it looks as though they’re far away

Oh, I believe

In yes to day 


Not headed for Town

There is a staring stair

That winds its way to me

If you but wanted it

Turn and look and see

Winding straight

May your track wind straight
May your hill always climb
May your river keep flowing
May you get there on time

September first


Happy spring

Happily sing

Spring out of bed

Sing off your head

A time to heal


Do you want me to be silent

Do you wish I’d close my heart

Do you want me to be private

Like when you drove me part

All I’ve got.

There once was a little dog Bono
Who to every question would answer “dunno?”

Anymore


“Don’t blow me any kisses”

You don’t want them anymore 

You loathe my little raspberries 

“Don’t blow them at the door”

Silly me sacrificing
Everything for thee
When all along I’m slaving
For naught but else than me

The bread that feeds the will
Gives life to mortal me
The Lord the Word is still
Made flesh for all to see

Gallery


Suddenly I’m standing
In an open gallery 
It looks to be expanding 
Much more than I can see

The Agony


The inner loss of losing you
Despite my love and plea
There is no greater agony
Than to lose your love for me
