Nostalgia’s a painful affair.
Homesick for what is not there.
Look round and view
What’s nearer to you.
Out with the past,I declare.
Still if we have memories then may
It be that they have something to say?
Look them straight in eye
But do not defy…
They’re from God. so kneel now and pray.
For it is God we are nostalgic for
He has lost the post-modernist’s war.
Yet he’s here in a leaf
Showing the truth.
The mystery, the myth and the lore.
******* the way it plays the way it hides between the lines the way it signs Gill McGrath© March 14 [2o minutes] One Love
Source: love the morning the sun
Now speaks the sun and makes us want to grow
To open like the flowers for his love
Too heart and mind and soul to show
Now every part of nature is in flood
Fresh leaves point down from trees to holy nests.
The birds are active in this little wood;And dwelling on the tree branch, breast to breast.
So. let’s not waste time brooding on our thoughts.
For we may miss the joy which spring has brought
 The music of your voice I shall never hear. I shall never play a duo with you. Would we harmonize? Or find some compromise? Does one need to hear the sound of someone's heart, transposed into verbal music.. Or can we manage without it? Ideolect Sociolect. Circumspect? Words reveal the lost soul. But not the whole story. Play it again But this time Speak it. I want to hear the music Of you. |
The shops are full of summer clothes
But Stan’s not warm enough for those.
Mary likes to look around
But see how old Stan frowns.
So Mary says,I’ll go online
I’m sure I’ll find some fully lined
Made of wool and acrylic
Them you can make your pick.
Thank you,Mary,you are kind
Despite that brilliant,anxious mind.
I am the best dressed man intown
And soon I’ll have my gown.
Would you like cafe au lait?
I have my pension,I shall pay.
Very nice,dear Mary said.
I’d like a piece of bread.
Won’t you have a slice of cake?
I know it’s not quite what I make.
No,just plain bread,sweet Mary said
She then turned very red.
Mary,you look very hot
Is it healthy in this spot.
The central heating is too high
She gave a weary sigh.
They drank their coffee and made jokes
About old folk who never spoke…
They bought some fresh fish for Emile..
They alway shop with zeal.
..
When they got home.Stan dialled Dave
Who told him he was very brave
and not to stand near a bus door…
Or he’d fall on the floor.
.
Oh,how I’d like to lie down there
With my mistress Annie fair.
but Mary is at home today
So i’ll just have to pray.
If you’re in pain and can’t have sex,
They say that prayer is second best
Morphine is so hard to get
And it makes me feel sick.
So tomorrow Mary works
Stan and Annie have their perks
Dave calls round to bath the cat.
How obscene is that?
If you would like your cat washed
Or if your shopping has got squashed
Just dial 99999
The service is divine

Is desire for love incongruous with my age,
As faces show the signs of burdens born?
And if it is then shall I vent my rage
Or turn my mind to create poetic form?
In Eden,which was in our mother’s arms,
We felt warm skin and heard her beating heart.
But now when we begin to lose our charms
Must we for the cemetery depart?
I know now it’s our spirit which attracts
And keeps our friends and lovers close at hand.
Misery and rages will detract’
Make a lover kind feel quite unmanned.
We have no human right to love demand;
But loving kindness brings more friends to hand.
Incongruous outfits are scorned
As is clothing both dirty and torn
So buy all in one colour.
Bur don’t make it yellow.
As bees and wasps love you adorned.
Yellow attracts comments galore
As if men’ve not seen you before.
Try teal and blue
They’re both good for you.
Not incongruous with clothing and more.

Perhaps in some context, the word part is incongruent with this notion thatthere is only wholeness.
This was usually done by use of brute force coated with a thin layer ofincongruent ideology.
There was the picture that she was unable to begin; it floated through herbrain, elusive and incongruent.
