His face

8049596_b4573d4772_s

The face that was familiar is no more
Yet in my dreams, he is alive again
If, by a chance, his life could be restored
It would affect me like the hidden chord
That if were played, my own life would be o’er
That one must live and one must die is plain
The face that was familiar is no more.
Yet in my dreams , he is alive again

Passive or receptive

Extract:

I argue that the oft-discussed connection between Wordsworth’s “wise passiveness” and Keats’s “negative capability” has led scholars to overlook Keats’s own notion of passivity as a persuasive, as well as receptive, force. I argue that Keats saw passivity as an embodied, and even physically demanding, attitude, that could prompt the interest and attention of others – an understanding that builds on the theatrical attitudes adopted by Romantic stage actors, who struck exciting poses to suspend dramatic intensity.

How peppermint boils

E82E

I’ll never love again, not whenever, never.
Her hands are always waving,her nose runs all day and her feet tweet nonstop.
Is it the New Exercise?
I made a witch profit by teaching her to blacken cats.

At least tantalize me till it’s light tonight.
He gave me a laugh and many sinful emotions I’d never imagined

He laughed all the way to the bonk.
I generally lay my bards on the table before work
l left my mark on his back…..mud sticks and I cling
I leave no home unconsumed.
I’m just a devil in my own lifetime
I was left by his falter at the altar and I forgave him everything.
She’s a legend so well defined…she’s never out of her own mind
It was the fleeter of my two feet which arrived at the finishing post.I’ll catch up with it later.
Is that a crutch or are you Blimping to meet me?
Will they make my groans into groceries?
Let sloping fogs lie freely over all the elastic lands.
I let the flat out to an old hag.She had bags under her eyes and a broomstick under her charms.
Let’s never poll again.
I’ll never be a  glove again.
No, I’ll never write a double negative for you.No, not ever
She said, let’s spit now..but I refused, so she bit my head off with a word.She’s digested the dictionary and needs practice, you see.

His blinkers are perfect.His winks are a pleasure to behold.
Let’s love again before the next millennium ends
You keep me mating all of the time.What did I do, was it so wrong?
Was it my song?
You keep waiting till the end of the rhymes;
And longer, sometimes.
Let’s prance again while the potatoes simmer
and as our eyes grow much more than dimmer.
Grammar.. who weeds that?
Cast your spellings onto me and I’ll import them into my head with the aid of a nail file.
What did I do? What was so bling?
I have your number here in my diary … is it 999?
I’ll sentence you tomorrow.I give you my word and this full stop as I have few colons free.
Let me charm you again all night
Now you do what they did do to me!
I’m just a poppet on a wing.
My mother was a demon with frustration.
I ate 4oz of peppermint cremes once.When I got my grant to go to University.Just to prove I could.Then I improved and was glad.I owe it all to peppermint oil

I am suffering from this man over here
I think it’s  your manstruation again.
How many bloody times do we have to have it?

Have you brought some protection?
5  loaded guns and a box of super-large tampons

I’m afraid I bit the bucket again.
Why have you no WC?

I hate that pain in my crutch.
Not as much as the crutch does,though.

Doctor, I have 15 crutches.
Good grief, you need more rapport!How do you juggle them all?
They juggle me.

Have you still got this man over here?
The agony is so bad I don’t recognise any country of the world.

My friend has irritable vowel syndrome.
Try him on consonants.Hebrew is also an option.
Why?
They have no vowels.
How do they manage?Not many here understand it.
Well, it’s His Voice!
I thought it was H M V
Oh, Lord. Really want to be you.
My sweet crowd

See sunlight dappled through their leaves.

When wanderings take my restless mind
To places peace can never find,
When imaginations linked to fear
Push tranquillity away.
To my green garden I must go
And let my mind and thoughts go slow.
I look  at maples in the breeze,
See sunlight dappled through their leaves.
I see the apples hanging down
And blackbirds peck them on the ground.
I see the hawthorn berries ripe
Upon the hedge in gold sunlight.
And then my soul is brought to earth
Peacefulness is given birth
I feel at one with nature green,
And all that is just now unseen
So back to everyday routines
Without “what for?” and “might have beens”
All is well and shall be so
Wherever we may go.

Skin

7134238_f520
My skin, blurred edge of the ineffable,
felt but not seen;
guessed at but unprovable;
faith guides in the darkness
hands reach out
say, this is love. to touch
to hold, to sense.
more sensible than logic;
wait, for love will come;
the world grasps and loses;
be still, be silent,
listen.

Ode to a crutch

Oh, crutch you are a help to my bad  knee
Since cycling down the A1 injured me.
I never knew I should have bought a car
And spent my money on a stunning bra.
I only drove at 70mph
The teacher said, why don’t you learn to steer?
And if you go as fast as this you’ll fail
The police will come and you’ll end up in jail
So I never took a driving test
As riding bikes or donkeys seemed the best
But now my knees are giving me some jip
I sometimes weep and bite my bottom lip
With a crutch, I can negotiate
The steps my eye can’t see, the fallen plate
For  my sight is not creating in 3 d
Steps are dangerous to the half blind ones me.
But with a stick, I test the steps descent
A stick or crutch thus accidents prevents
Yet  suddenly I am a crippled fool,
Though other folks like me send out a smile
From young to old in one astounding leap
As with my crutch along the road I creep.
It’s better for my health to take a walk
Or to my crutch I have been heard to talk
I say switch off the laptop close the lid
And answer, who are you talking to, our kid?
Sometimes I say, oh, we need meringues.
That’s me and all my  numerous inner gang
