Your skin glows like a freshly picked raspberry at midnight.
It blossoms sweet as the rose in the promise of scope
when you come near me sweetly perfumed
My yearning heart rises to your saxaphone-like voice and leaps like a young frog at the whisper of your name, Delta x/Delta y
The evening descends as if on a great eagle’s dark wings.
I am calmed by your lingerie that I cling to in the twilight to carry my walnuts.
I am filled with hope that I may collect your tears in a jug to get washed with tomorrow to save water now we are on a meter
As my buttons fall from my T shirt they remind me of your corking wit.
In the hushed eve, I listen for the first dreary wail of the autumn.
My hands leap to get my warm coat and woollen hat away from the ravening dogs of war
I wait with the crystal whiskey bottle for your secret calculus
so that we may be integrated and summed up
as one;hip to hip;quip by quip
in search of the glorious geometry,topology,geomorphology and spirituality,not to mention depersonalology of love itself.

A kitten in a bottle
My dear…
My cat fell off the Woof.
Why was he mating with a dog?
Because he’s politically correct.
My cat fell of the Mall
Was he shopping?
No, he’s non materialistic…. he’s imaginary.
Like those queer numbers?
Be careful.You must not say,Queer number.
So what must we say?
Numbers of the imagination.
All numbers come from the imagination.
SSshhh… we don’t want people to know numbers are a figment of the imagination.
Why not?
Life’s hard enough.
For what?
For living.
My cat rolled over me on the bed.
Was he asleep?
No,he’s training to climb Mount Everest.
My cat stole an egg.
Is he hungry?
No, he’s trying to grow a kitten in a bottle….
My cat talks to himself
Is that unusual?
Well,no,It’s impossible
Now look at this
Getting a little better
Thank you,doctor

How to relax
http://www.relaxationexpert.co.uk/ProgressiveRelaxationTechniques.html
Old wall by Katherine from her photo art
Nifty wades of grey
I liked your joke;it was very re-amusing
Sank you very touch.
I measure my herds tearfully.So rake a lead from a dog.Don’t mate.Ever.
What is that beast being or doing?
Oh,that is our invisible cat,
Will your partner be alarmed?
No.Her bosom is as peaceful and white as a glow worm in June
May I seduce her?
You can but sigh.Try to reduce her for me.I miss her sore touch.
Do you behind what I do with or without hair?
Wit,at the dresser?
I like that ass I perceive.
You are already harried.
Are you never pre-empted?
That does not spatter.
Dozen tit? How about a pudding?Batter my pancakes,Oh, three person God!
Oh,take your privy parts elsewhere.I an well dead up with you.
No bleeding swearing and rehearsing near me.Spank you.
Four letter words allowed only in herds with a sheep frog to guide them.
Pussy might glare at us.I glare back.
Her claws are like magic bulletins.
Why is a cat so?
They get clues to the weather from their dozes.
That rebounds painfully on me in winter.
Yes,but the weather is very sticky in the summer.
Remember old friends from our blunder days?
I never knew Heather but I loved Primula.
Was she not too chastening for you?
She liked a ram very much.
Was it shorn?
They have blue horns or even teal.
How furious is that?
I am very sanguine these frays.
You must alight where you can like a house fly.
You set the world on fire,once upon a rhyme!
Don’t claim me as lost luggage.
You like being lost?
I want to be bound again.Like an old book.
So you have been here before ce soir?
Oui,mon petit.Je sais tout.
And how.You brake French like a creative.
Yes,I am well up in tension and wordsplitting
Do you mean declension?
To tell you the truth I am unswear about language catergories.
It’s all those passing participles.
And those non recurring verbs.
Surely you mean decimals?Like unnational numbers…
Don’t fling more maths into my ears!
Sorry,I’m just blundering out of the clouds today.
Keep still,Will you come again?
OK,my heartstring.My lute.My flute.
Why is your ass so round,by the say?
I guess I must have invented it from my mother.
Your jeans are too right!Do they fit tight!I shall go mad with trust.
You like ‘em?
Yeah,men are so sweet.I like to serve them with a home bathed cake.
Do you have to have a special bath?
I shall take illegal devices fro a soliciter
Watch your doubt.
Oh,nuts!
Walnuts?
Any lemon rind ?
You can be too kind
I blow I am.I thought it was hood.for me
Send me a kiss or a hug,please!
If only it were true bliss.Just you,me and a tree.
Why the tree?
We need something to kiss your behind.
Swine! Beast!
Please,I adore you.Don’t unsweeten me this day.I am just a bit tough in the tongue
Whatever you will.I am yours evermore.I shall covet your treasure for never and a day
O.K.I’ll do it our way.
Press my mutton whenever you like,my beloved.
Flank you.You’re really hip.
I won’t flip.I mope.
I did it in E bay
So they pray.
Yesterday
What on birth did I say?
I feel really gay
Fifty glades,all gray with fatigue
In a pub in Wasdale,Cumbria where my brother saw it
I go into his glance
My husband thinks he is artistic..
While I am a mere nature mystic.
I go into a trance,
When he gives me a glance.
I go so far off, they think I’m autistic.
In truth I’m in communion with trees
With flowers and red leaves and striped bees..
I know I’ve a mind
And you are so kind…
So lend me your heart,if you please.
I am no more autistic than thou.
I live in the real world and how.
I give home to new words
Which fly here like birds.
With humour I now thee endow
I can’t reject his introject in the mirror
During the past few years I’ve had pneumonia and other such things and so unable to lie down I have sat upright and browsed the internet.I have found a lot of articles on philosophy,art,literature which I could read free of charge.#But when it comes to psychoanalysis,you [without much exception] have to join and pay a hefty fee..
This is interesting like the notion you must pay a big charge for therapy in order to get the full benefit… and I know one friend who has got rich that way.
To me it seems bad.If their articles are good,why not let folk who might benefit read them? Mind you,they are often hard to follow
The archaic image of the dead breast lay under her psyche-soma [ like a bed?]
A narcissistic wound had formed the core of her non integrated identity.[Does it have seeds?]
She was unable to accept her schizoid split off vest
His death instinct had throttled his sexual drive so that he always evaporated before he had sexual congress with his wife or anyone else and he had tried frequently until worn down to a bore.
He had never identified with his mirror or imago and thus could never reflect on his introjects or his extrajects or his microjects either.
So don’t pay.. it not worth it.. keep a diary or a dairy cow instead
Trust the dark,the unseen aspects
Trust the unknown force that grew you,
From the joining of two cells.
Act of love, of self giving,
Thus to grow a newer self.
Trust the dark,the unseen aspects
Of the life we all do live.
Trust that there is wisdom elsewhere,
To your emptiness to give.
Wait in patience for the time
When inspiration comes at last
Trust in darkness,silence,lowness.
Opposition forms the cross.
Pain is bearable in lowness,
Like the worm in earth I dwell.
When I look I see the sunrise
And I trust all shall be well.
Willow buds as green as glass
Shapely tulips catch my eye
Red as cherries
Holly berries
Shape can never lie.
Willow buds as green as glass
Happiness
Happiness
Memories are made of this.
Sunlight slants across the wall
such loved color
my eyes follow
Delight to me is all
Mauve and grey the evening sky.
Sun descends
Day must end
One last goose flies by.
It’s not a crime and it’s not a sin but it hurts
What name do we give to an action by another person that hurts is badly and yet they have not broken the law?Like they ring up and say we should have put a comment on their blog when they know we’ve been very busy at work… then we have not visited their FB page this week… or some other complaint.There is a disparity sometimes between how we are and how others see us.We may be depressed and hardly able to function,they are cross we didn’t phone them for a chat [ie they moan for 36 minutes whilst we listen..
Maybe it is a sin.Nowadays we don’t use that word.But if we do not use our imagination to understand another person’s life and trials then we are lacking in some way if this happens a lot.
In psychoanalysis it seems that people do such things because of an identification with an archaic mother image or because they were punished for wetting the bed… there is no personal responsibility..
Some of us go the other way and are over-responsible even in some cases people think they have caused the Gaza conflict or another war when they are actually mentally unwell.They are tormented.
We need to be in the middle… as usua;
Don’t leave me;touch me again
When he went away,
He went away
Away.
I didn’t know where
where
he had gone
where had he gone?
The call came.:
call came….
Man,white,good health
Has died.
Has died alone
Died alone in an hotel room.
So a stranger would find him.
Man alone;
man alone in hotel room.
there was a man
alone
in his hotel room.
Not wanting to be any trouble.
trouble,no trouble alone
in his hotel room
not his room,you see.
not a shared room…
An hotel room.
Tall man with light brown hair
alone in a small hotel room
with no TV.
We had no smartphones
Smart
Phones
No,don’t tell , not me ,not yet.
Not me.
He was all alone.
He was behind glass
glass walls
windows
a window of glass.
I could never touch him.
I could not touch him.
not touch,no,never,
Man alone.
Solitary man.
Tall man with brown hair.
Beds for love
Beds for leaving.
Don’t you die alone
in that hotel room.
Don’t die
Don’t go
You wanted to be alone,
I thought…
you were
afraid to feel.
Thin skinned and pale like a torn petal from a wild plant.
You were alone again
And you left me all alone;
alone without you.
Now I’m alone
in my hotel room.
my room.
Someone knocks.
I’m dreaming of you
wishing you were near me.
dreaming,wishing,
lonely for you.
He was all alone,they said.
In an hotel room.
His doom
In a lonely bedroom.
Don’t leave me yet.
Yet you were never here
behind your window
I see you
but can’t touch you.
Can’t touch you.
Can’t touch.
Touch me.
Touch me again.
Love me…
You were all alone
alone.
Why did I not break the glass?
Break the glass;
The glass.
Touch me again
Touch me again
An aphorism or two
Oscar Wilde said,The basis of optimism is sheer terror.
I say,The basis of optimism is sheer error.
My funny zone aches
I fear he led me up the garden wrath.My father was in the shed.
I really miss my dad for seeing off villains…laconically smoking a woodbine and wearing a flat cap… or the cat lying flat.
He only wanted my online virginity.He was the first and last cruiser on my blog.Now I have rowing boats or canoes,so much gentler
I guess a tiger would protect me… or eat me.That’s the drawback to weapons of lass destruction.
Leave me a bone tonight.I have to chew things over
After years of ignoring magic, researchers are starting to realise that the methods magicians use to manipulate the human mind might hold important insights into how it works.
Fascinating piece here
PORTABLE LIFE SKILLS DAILY WISDOM GUIDE

Professional pickpocket Apollo Robbins has an uncanny ability to control minds. He can manipulate people to an extraordinary degree, drawing their attention away from his thieving hands as he purloins watches and wallets in plain sight. These days, Robbins gives his ill-gotten gains back – he has given up a life of crime to become an entertainer – but most of his victims still have no idea they’ve been robbed until it’s too late.
Watching Robbins at work is like watching somebody with supernatural powers. Yet, like his fellow conjurers Robbins deceives his targets using nothing more than a finely honed understanding of human psychology. “I think of myself as a folk psychologist,” he says. “It’s all about developing an instinct for how the human mind works.”

“A woman like you”
John writes very beautiful poems
A woman, like you
I was standing at a distance listening to you.
You were speaking against hate and violence.
A voice so soft and kind.
It made me stop to listen.
I looked at your beautiful face.
I tries to hide my desire for you.
To be able to look into your eyes.
And hold you close.
I make a fool’s wish to be sitting with you.
To be able to look into your blue eyes at the ocean.
Listen to you talk about great dreams.
You spoke with confident.
Your strong words were against hate and war.
Your smile and sweet voice create dreams and hope of peace
for the people listening.
You came to me. Whispered
” My lonely poet you came to hear me at the demonstration.
Did you like and understand what I was trying to say.”
I told you. “Your…

A lovely post from Gill McGrath
The courage of the writer
Paul Tillich gave the spirit proper place
And showed us courage is a place to dwell.
He wrote for us and left us with his grace
Hoping he could reach us and could tell.
So many people imbibed Nazi speech
And lived with minds cut off from human soul.
With pen outstretched in German hand he reached
To touch us as we creep towards the whole.
Expelled from his own country,he wrote on
Continuing during tortuous,war long years
He lived,he loved ,he wrote,he died and then
His books continue to dispatch our fears.
For many men have lived and have destroyed
But Tillich showed us how to face the void
Leave a gnome
Phobias and fears
http://www.fearofstuff.com/humans/fear-of-hands/
I never knew there were so many phobias
I am afraid to touch any man’s bottom
For if my hands are there,someone may spot’em.
So I tousle their hair
Whenever I dare.
Trouble is,there’s such an awful lot of’em.
Whenever a bald man goes by
I try not to glare at his eye.
For I can’t fluff up his hair
As his head is so bare…
Although he might like me to try.
My brief cello career

When I was 15 I was given a chance to learn the cello free as there was only one girl in the orchestra.I was already fairly proficient on the piano where mysteriously I was also being given free lessons because of my musical talent.. so I knew how to read music.
The cello strings are tuned to the same notes as the viola but one octave lower.Sometimes in cello music the tenor clef is used as well as the bass and treble.
I reached Grade 8 after a year but then the teacher left and was not replaced.And my A levels loomed so although the Northern college of music would have given me lessons the head would not allow it.
I’d strongly recommend letting a child learn the cello or viola.There is something quite wonderful about playing in a string quartet and the viola being in the middle is possibly the loveliest in tone and in how it speaks to the heart.
I have had several versions of the Bach cello suites played by Casals,Tortelier, and others.But now I have been won over by Rostropovich.He was a very loving man…and it comes over.His Dvorak cello concerto is luminous…
I find a Kindle Fire is very handy for playing music as I move around the house as it’s so portable.I admit I’ve always liked Russian musicians… maybe seeing Dr Zhivago helped me.The music of the Orthodox Church is such that I’d convert instantly just to sit in one of their churches.They unlike the Catholic Church have not modernised their rituals and I believe that is very fortunate….
Scene of love
They lay down in awe and fear, Of what their love was bringing near. They gazed into each other’s eyes And so did rhapsodise. They lay down to gaze into the eyes and soul and heart so true. They gazed until,when overcome, They were united into one. Their souls and bodies were conjoined, And thus their hearts were well entwined; As honeysuckle on the walls, In joy’s sweet arbours does grow tall. Their loving lips and eyes and hands Gave pause to time’s soft flowing sands; And while they touched and gazed so long, The birds sang out in glorious songs. The eyes are mirrors to the soul, and love will make us grow more whole. Gaze lovingly on humankind.. And hold care in your mind.
On falling down the full stop at the end of the sentence
Blind sight scattered my wits Like whitened bones Across the deserts of my mind. I descended into blackness. Love shrank into the tame cat By the fire,unacknowledged hate Grew to fill the room. I stared too much, A full stop grew gigantic Crowded out All the words in the sentence I saw nothing but this dot Now a gigantic black hole Into which I was dragged. An energy coming from some curse Sucked me into the black hole. That place was the wrong sort of darkness. Within that full stop, Love Fundamental became invisible. Disappeared into the dark. I dragged my eyes away And saw the moon appear,so eerie, It shone,grey silver. If I had opened my eyees wider I would not now lament What I destroyed in the wormhole Of the black dot that drew my eye Into a tunnel of darkness It blinded me to the light Did not let me read the sentences Beside the full stop. An error of focus left hate Unacknowledged,unmitigated unredeemed, Kept from love or goodness Afraid to spoil my love with hate, The fear of hate became That which spoiled all else else, By freezing Love itself.
I think I hear you humming
I look up our small street,
To see if you are coming.
I don’t know what time it is,
But I think I hear you humming.
You sang sweet songs for us,
And you could whistle well .
You wore an old tweed jacket
You loved us,I could tell.
I look out there each day,
But I can’t see your tall, thin shape.
I saved your Woodbine packet,
It made me feel some hope.
What does death’s door mean?
Where has Daddy gone?
When will be the welcome day,
When we hear his songs again?
I’ll sing like him all day,
I’ll dream of him all night.
I hope he won’t be angry,
If his cigarettes won’t light!
He can’t write his own songs now.
He went too far away , too soon.
I’ll write down what I think he sang,
And I’ll invent the tune.
I hear him singing now,
He dwells inside my heart.
And though I still can’t see his face,
I recognise his Art.
The art of criticism
The magic wood
In the middle of the magic wood near the rocky seashore
And the rushing tides and pools of light
We sat on an old wooden bench..and heard the birds singing.
A robin came onto the arm of the seat,
And to town children this seemed a miracle
we didn’t know they were accustomed to being fed there.
So we breathed very lightly
lest our noise should frighten away this tiny being..
Now,if I am tense,if I am wise,
I want to remember the wood and imagine the bird
And the peace will come back..
The joy of that Silence.
How did we ever leave it and for what?
What else has value
except the touch of your hand
and our eyes meeting softly
and the peace of the deep green shade
And the enchanting song of the high in the wildwood tree tops birds
