Opposites
OPPOSITES
The opposite of love
Is not hatred but fear
Hatred is simply
An armour for fear
Darkness is not
The opposite of light
It is simply
An absence of light
Thwarting The Gloom: Senryu
THWARTING THE GLOOM
Lights switched on midday
Not shameless exorbitance
… Poetic licence
Darkness: Shadorma
DARKNESS
Whenever
Eclipse is total
I retreat
To the sky
Close all the doors and windows
And watch the clouds
Light And Dark: Shadorma
LIGHT AND DARK
In darkness
A light seeks us out
Throws a line
Lest we drown
Whilst most marvellous of all
‘Tis we who threw it
‘Neath Doom’s Trump
‘NEATH DOOM’S TRUMP
Through deepest midnight
Hid light persists in shadow
Embroiders darkness
String Of Lights (30c)
STRING OF LIGHTS
Uniting
Poets illumine
Your dark night
Of the soul
Passing the torch down the years
Lightening the load

Comradeship
COMRADESHIP
We each swim through time
Spewing words like light and dark
But what do we build?
Illusions and delusions
Glad to have encountered you

I grew up in Acton,
While Lord Acton opined
Back in 1877
“Power tends to corrupt
and absolute power
corrupts absolutely.”
and “Great men are almost
always bad men.” Beware!
