DISCIPLINE

A waking daydream.
Yesteryear is here again.
No! Time to move on.

Departed
Though not departed
Eternal
Paradox
Even now beyond the veil
You still tantalise

A Stale Start

A STALE START

Here we are it seems
Stained with yesterday’s remains
Dazed and misty-eyed

M Dear M

M DEAR M

I still vividly recall
The moment we first met
More than forty years back

After four marriages
(never to one another)

And here we are – Still in contact!
Next lifetime, she promised
Let’s see …
For after all …
One never knows

Broken Lines: Shadorma

BROKEN LINES

Here where the
Various varied
Versions of
Me hang out
Swung by to check whether these
Worn tear ducts still work

The Ice Cream Van

THE ICE CREAM VAN

Harken! Hear’st thou not
The jolly old ice cream van?
An old childhood memory

Reentering the present …

Ice cream in the Winter?
Dream on, my dearest, for
Now who leaves the house?

Reentering the present …

I scream at this Winter
For none enter the house
No one any more save I

Free

FREE

Seeing attachments
To simply see attachments
Without attachment

Stone Me!

STONE ME!

Life arises/arrives
In so so many forms
And all inter-related

Best observe, interact
Without attachment
For it is after all as it is

Come-on

COME-ON

If sex is magic
(And who are we to question?)
Let us explore it

On The Wagon

ON THE WAGON

Discard attachment
Loss a fizzy illusion
And sorrow sham pain
