Butterfly & Bee
He offered imperfection
And said it was for free
I settled for deception
Knew he wouldn’t see
He could have if he wanted
But his eyes were just for me
I found it quite confronting
Yet chose not to break free
Then he went and spoiled it
I wished he’d let me be
But he was such an idiot
And worried that I’d flee
He makes pretty music
Lives in big old tree
Thinks I maybe magic
I butterfly - him bee
And said it was for free
I settled for deception
Knew he wouldn’t see
He could have if he wanted
But his eyes were just for me
I found it quite confronting
Yet chose not to break free
Then he went and spoiled it
I wished he’d let me be
But he was such an idiot
And worried that I’d flee
He makes pretty music
Lives in big old tree
Thinks I maybe magic
I butterfly - him bee

THE BEST POEM EVER WRITTEN
i don't think i'm egomaniac
but this wilL be the best poem ever written
it's gonna be epic
forget your kubla khan's
and wordsworth's insufferable daffodils
swaying in the wind
this will blow your fucking mind
better than whiskey and coke combined
change your perspective
take you to higher plain
make you the de la lama of the soul
so get me my paper fetch me my pen
it's time to start it's time to begin
aaaahhh no aaaahhh fuck
i haven't a clue i'm completely stuck

Seed of Kindness
Listen to me closely
As I speak what must be spoken
It’s a knowledge we all contain
The silence has finally been broken
Open your eyes
Look around, what do you see?
I see misery, torture everywhere
And anywhere it could possibly be
There is hope
I also see a light
A light to lead the way
It shines so bright
No, it is not God’s light
Or any religious sphere
It’s just a light that reflects
The kindness of a person near
Not just anyone
Can fashion a light so bright
Only one distinctly pure
Who wishes...

MKULTRA : white rat perspective
One day I went and placed myself in danger;
it's a trip I had to take to see the edge.
Though madness and I were never strangers,
I always knew I'm quick enough to just be dead.
Voices said:
“I am you,
you are mine.”
A cold equation: one for many is no crime.
“I am you.
You are mine.”
All things given may be taken in due time.
They numbered me, then ground my lens to prisms:
drug induced. All patterned reasoning collides
with unfocused noise: a mental vandalism.
I seek the spectrum ordered highway I can ride.

INVITATION TO SWIM
I am feeling in the mood
To go swimming in the nude;
Would you like to come with me,
Sharing in the nudity?
There’s a remote country pool
Whose water is clear and cool.
Don’t get hung up about shape,
There’ll be no one here to gape.
Let’s get into make-believe
We’re in the shoes(?) of Adam-Eve!
In nearby blossom bushes
We undress, sparing blushes,
Then to water’s edge we’ll dash
And create a double SPLASH!
With water above nipples
We’ll linger to watch ripples,
Then, like seals, swim around free
As nature meant us to be....
To go swimming in the nude;
Would you like to come with me,

COUPLE ON BEACH
On a beach where all shapes and sizes did throng,
Away from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong,
With her in a bikini and him in his thong,
The couple looked straight out of the Solomon Song.
The couple had not been married very long:
They were so much in love that they saw nothing wrong
In displaying their affection that was so strong,
Their grips on each other seemed tighter than King Kong.

EVE ON THE BEACH
(Not autobiographical)
We booked the hottest week in June
To have our second honeymoon.
Where, as a couple, by the sea,
We refreshed our intimacy…
She comes, a bikinied Eve on the beach,
Offering not an apple but her peach.
Her top comes off, her breasts like clustered grape,
Then off comes the bottom, and I go ape!
For we are now in the naturist zone,
But, like the first couple, we’re on our own.
Like Good Samaritan, I do likewise,
Taking down my trunks to expose my thighs.
In this beautiful, natural context,

MAY AND SEPTEMBER ON THE BEACH
(Fictional, but inspired by many celebrity couple beach scene reports in newspapers.)
On the warm, sunny beach at Oporta
I saw them frolicking in the water,
Unabashed, a good hour and a quarter,
She seemed young enough to be his daughter,
In a bikini that could support her;
He older, greyer, fleshier, shorter,
But with the flair of a younger courter.
Enjoying life as a free man “oughta”,
With new lease from a bypassed aorta,
Who’d long since paid for his bricks and mortar
From his career as a news reporter,
Which took him to some scenes of...

KING LEAR 2012
This evolves from the king’s famous outburst in Shakespeare’s play, a tale of disintegrating sanity, family and society. “Let copulation thrive…” This is an imaginary musing of a King Lear in an apocalyptic society.
Let copulation thrive!
Let naughty couples swive
And indulge their sex drive!
Let lads and lasses jive,
Let British workers skive,
Good men no longer strive!
Let drunken drivers drive!
Let gangs each other knive!
Let aliens arrive!
Let Wall Street take a dive!
Next day, who’ll be alive?
Let copulation thrive!
Let naughty couples swive
And indulge their sex drive!
Let lads and lasses jive,
Let British workers skive,
Good men no longer strive!
Let drunken drivers drive!
Let gangs each other knive!
Let aliens arrive!
Let Wall Street take a dive!
Next day, who’ll be alive?

jade
im fallin away.
ive broken through pain.
and now nothing remains.
but my feeling of jade.
im breaking out, breaking down.
im rising up, falling down.
im dancing with death.
im so manically depressed.
sense and reason are sensless.
bloody mary is my princess.
im OCD about darkness.
im braindead and thoughtless.
lets let the smoke rise.
im screaming my last breath.
im a victim of my lawlessness.
im gonna serenade before i confess.
im cursed before im blessed.
stop the beating in my chest,
and let me float...

COME SWIM WITH ME
A man's invitation to a woman to join him swimming.
“Come, swim with me,”
This is my plea
(Flirtatiously),
Down by the sea.
Water’s lovely,
And it is free
Of admit fee.
Sun, sand and sea
Call out at we,
Seductively:
“You’re meant to be!”
Swim mate for me
Others can’t be.
Fitness-beauty
Enamours me
So totally.
Speaking frankly,
I am happy
You wear on thee
One-piece cossie
Green as the sea.
Alternately,
Your bikini
Revealingly
Leaves more to see
Of your body!
The trunks on me...
