Day: April 6, 2016

The bee rang

On Richmond’s pill you won’t be ill~
Lots of dove’s with scarlet ribbons.
Where the bee rings, there am I.
Never more shall I see you ,since  you went to live in Looe.
On the boney,boney flanks of Don Rooming.
Oh,you’ll take the Aye vote and I’ll take the No.
Oh for the bling ,for the blong  from above
Appalled in  the April evening.
Along the   lowly mode of Bethlehem
The seams of Carrie’s coat to us.
La haute sur la montagne etait un vieux chalet.So they say
Darn my holes I beseech thee,Oh God.
Where the moth stings ,there am I.
Guiltless as the evening’s are, my vibrator’s gone too far.

[I actually read a book by  a widow who recommended getting one but may be as I am older I am more desirous of affection from  human beings than having a thrill alone.]
Where have all the ours gone?
We’ll   keep going ,the waters flowing ………….. to the rivers of Babylon where we sat down and swept.

 

 

Where have all the cliches gone?

At the end of the day,

it all boils down to
what happens in that moment in time
in that split second
in that atomic participle
I offer you my surds of wisdom,
Don’t delay… you don’t want to be
A moment too soon or too late.
We must listen to our hearts
To find out our gut feelings,
Trust your instincts
And remember,it’s never too early or late,
Or exactly the right moment,
To start saving for a pension.
At the end of the day,
I hope you made your bed
The way you want to lie in it..
Though usually,love needs truth
And lying is an art
unlike survival and love;
Though love is not all you need
but love helps us roll along
gathering a little moss.
Ask not for whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee,
and me too.
But when we sum it all up
We can say,with hand on heart..
we were just following orders
Then the grieving will start.
And if we can’t grieve we won’t be comforted.
That is in the Sermon on the Mound or the  ground of being.
It’s very freeing.And so pray for all of us.

Changed perceptions

KODAK Digital Still Camera

When I was growing up as a Christian I was taught about sin,punishment,hell and heaven.
The implication seemed to be that if you found you were inclined to envy or anger or other sins,you could change by will power.Now,may be you can,but often you can’t so you have an extra sin and anxiety that you are a grave sinner.
Now I have been thinking that it may be Perception which matters.If you can change your perception your actions and thoughts will be changed,It’s like changing your perspective or changing your focus,
And about imaginatively exploring what that person who  tempts you to anger,lust,greed,envy, is truly feeling.So you get out of the two person

ME and YOU
It’s like a three person relationship.I can see my views and your views and somehow
then see both differently.I am finding it hard to put into words,If we can change our perception we will change our thoughts and actions

A person is a window

 

 

new windowsA new person whom we get to know can be a window to a different world.For this to function we have to realise that we are all different and we are all of value.
Even within one culture big differences are there between one person and another.
And in London we have people from hundreds of other countries and we British ourselves are multicultural.Some people find this frightening and our ancestors probably only met people from their own village.
But looked at another way,seeing how a friend from another culture views his/her world is enlightening even if only to give a new perspective on our own culture which we may be unaware of.We may see life from a new perspective.These metaphors from Art are very useful.The artist must see as well as  possible and in different ways.So in that sense Art is important not just for pleasure but for living a reasonable life
We may in a metaphorical sense look through this friend’s eyes and see a new world.
Or we may scoff and say how silly and that our culture and our own self are the only ones  of value.Or we may wander on,not really  looking  so not seeing and so miss many chances of enlightenmentAnd enlightenment is the best that a new window can offer us.How full of metaphors our languages are.How poetic.

It was the end

1. Avoid it like the  The Hague
2. Dead as a donor’s nail
3. Mistake the  rigor and the detail for analysis
4. Low, singing  and cute voiced
5. If only wails could talk we’d get better
6. The dot calling the comma black  was the end
7. Think by the side of the foxed
8. She’s sick and grieves still
10. Plenty of fish in the wee,he joked
9. Bat at the end of the day’s  unless you are rolling
11. Every dog has its dismay
12. Like a  bid in a gambling furore I went unnoticed

Feel the nip of the iceberg

Lady love

I love the long ,lean lingering look of her
Legs like twin silver birch trunks
delicately balancing her elegant,exotic body.
Her blue eyed humorous gaze rests on me.
How her inner being vibrates in subtle motion
like an unmowed meadow of poppies does
in a summer wind.
Her smile is the sun on a lawn of pure white daisies
her own self a tall stemmed flower
opening slowly to the sun
revealing her deep,deep cente

So I skinned it which made me feel calmer..

I once had a doctor called Grey;
Of feeling he made a display.
He wept and smiled
Till he had me beguiled.
The next day Dr Grey ran away.

I displayed my displeasure by drama,
Hysterical, I slipped on a banana.
But it was not the right size
And matched not mine eyes
So I skinned  it which made me feel calmer..

In the store was a display  of  bell peppers
Alongside a tub of  red letters.
I read one in brief
As I  pawed lettuce leaves
They’re soporific  and I want to feel Greta.

  • Displays of emotion are banned
    As the  headmaster’s briefs  will soon land.
    For his trousers  fell down
    While he was in town
    Drinking whiskey and beer till half canned.

Displays of the bum aren’t permitted
Even by a man so   bright witted.
So he is getting the sack
Then he can pack
His register of all he’s committed

 

For the other

“With regard to the sharpest and most melting sorrow, that which arises from the loss of those whom we have loved with tenderness, it may be observed, that friendship between mortals can be contracted on no other terms than that one must some time mourn for the other’s death: and this grief will always yield to the survivor one consolation proportionate to his affliction; for the pain, whatever it be, that he himself feels, his friend has escaped.”
– Dr Samuel Johnson
