Tension

Oh doctor I am suffering pain

How can I relax my brain?

It’s not a muscle so I read

While I lay down on the bed


Hubert Benson wrote some books

I might find one if i look

He tells muscles to let go

Tension make us full of woe

How to calm your mind and heart

When so called friends have

made you smart

Take a bath in scented water

Seek for people full of

laughter

Eat good meals and feed the cat

Just wait here I have to stop

The words

Every Time I see a four letter word I add another letter

Oh,fluck the Men are here where is my frock?

Oh fluck, why not shriek English


What creap for dinnrr

He writes too much cramp for me

You tweat, you broke my heart

You twist my swords

What shirt you speak at home

You are shifty

Blondy hell,Africa is me

I am damed if I will swear

Where did the count go ?

What count?

The beast one.

You are e-vile

You are e-book

Love in the hair

How can I love a man with rough white beard

Unless He lets me trim it with my shears

My own body hair has disappeared

Though on my chin two hairs appear

Neither màle nor female we shed years

No-one loves the old nor dries their tears

Their skin flakes off their ears can’t hear

Their eyes have shrunk they seem to leer

Forgive us Lord and help us steer

For in the darkest places you are near

Shark in law

The demented people cry like dark wild wolves

Eery as a shark might be in Hull

When the Humber Ferry is half full

A shark slides on and makes the vessel bulge

It’s very cold in winter on that sea

So much water bythere and yet no tea.

Demented by the worry of misrule

Every Briton now asks for more gruel

My hospital resolutions

I will take everything personally

I will interpret all events in the worst way

I will never look on the. bright side

I will show the doctors I know more than they do.

I will refuse to wear backless gowns for procedures on my front.And vice versa.

I will prove stronger than most anaesthesics but feel no pain

I will likely see hallucinations and become crazy but only for an hour at most

I will recover faster than the speed of light

The phone call

Mary decided to phone the Samaritans as she got very depressed reading the News

She rang 116123

Eventually a voice said

What can I do for you ?

Mary cried: probably nothing

She hung up

Emile was añgry

I wanted to hear you talking about your problems

he mewed.

Well I may tell you later.Mary murmured blushing.

And so are all of us.

Like rain

The air is sweet the grass as pure as rain

The Tower of London bloody past, the deaths, the pain

God can’t exist, the murder tree still reigns

Though children play in dusty little lanes

Where Christ is ringed by fire, the end of time

And fools paint pictures though we have no frames.

The river

The river cannot change its path again

Its ancient waters soaked up all the rain

An icy glacier chiselled through hard rock

Leaving Epping Forest on the top.

Now we find the bodies of the dead

Murder victims, kidnapped as they fled

Women cooked the dinner,fed the child

With the wolves and foxes to abide

The husband who was wealthy should have paid.

Though wives are not unique in any way.

My novel

Do not read my novels I demand .

I’d like to write my own on Southport Sands.

I have a plot that came in a bad dream

So I have got some good from all my screams.

The looking glass is truth

Katherine's avatarHow my heart speaks

Note

I like the idea that we are healed when we see ourselves truthfully

I think it’s odd that we pay psychotherapists to tell us our defence mechanisms and self deceits,but we don’t like it when friends point them out,free,without charge.I find religious imagery is     useful to a poet as a metaphor

Poem

God’s Son was here on earth.

A  young girl gave Him birth.

His words remind us of our worth,

Give hope of heavenly mirth.

He brought the gifts of love-

To cure our bad eyesight.

But we don’t want to see,

To have the painfulness of light.

We love our flaws without knowing,

Even when the effects are growing.

We rage when someone points them out,

We’d rather stay in dark and doubt.

Than have our weakness showing

But when you seek advice

From someone kind and true,

They tell us that our hearts will…

In summertime, our love is peaceful,

like murmuring  daisies floating in the  soft breeze.

above our faces,tickling us in playful gestures

In wintertime, our love is warmer—

it walks from bath to bed each night

wrapped and rosy

after a day in heavy,hampering clothes

If skies are blue, our love is  out of doors

— two people travelling in the sun to an unknown place,

unafraid and  filled with joyful hope

If thunder rolls

our love is moody,

a refuge from the skulking rain and hail.

The lightning flirts across  our faces.

Reminding of darkness and fear

Lear

Faustus

When spring flowers bloom,

snowdrops unrolled

bluebells dangling by the stream

and the celandine

our love is soft,

like quiet curved petals on the crocus.
When the  autumn leaves down fall,

our love is deeper and we…

Too much rain

Heavy rain has made the river full

It overflows its banks, goes where be it will

From higher Epping rivulets descend

The great trees shed loose leaves as down trunks bend

The birds are silent,hoping for some sun

The people wander weeping like old men

Tears like melting hailstones wet my face

Round the ancient bridges children race.

Catheter country

On Sunday evening not unaware that I had had trouble with the catheter in my bladder, the carers placed the urine bag near the end if my bed,put a pillow on top.Then my feet were on top of the pillow.Was it Unconscious work ?

So my bladder became painfully full.

On being questioned,they said it was not deliberate.

Well they could have fooled me

If they had baked a cake would they say they didn’t mean to?

Do we believe their claim/?

Follow their behaviour here though no names will be made public.

I don’t. know the names yet.

There is low level sadism around alas
