Haw!

'Haw! Good fellow I'm not doubting
Your intentions are all right,
And your general appearance
Is intelligent and bright;
But the question you're discussing
Rather flicks me on the raw,
And it really doesn't matter;
So we'll close the subject. Haw!'

Since the every first reformer
Made suggestions in the trees
All the old earth's agitators
Meet with phrases such as these.
And it acts as brake and hobble
On the progress of mankind,
This superior aloofness
Of the static type of mind.

'Haw!' It rings throughout the ages
Since dim neolithic years,

There is something sublime about its aloofness from and its indifference to its external environment.

The day they robbed my car (englyn cyrch) (in answer to Don Mattera)

On high the sun did witness
with a kind of aloofness
how black men robbed my car;
but by far in lawlessness.

There Is A Void

There is a void, a sheer nothingness
that fills my life that is almost boundless
when you are away from me
when I see the world with a strange kind of aloofness

and in every misunderstanding
that is yearning for a kind of understanding,
there is something that is yearning for love
that comes selflessly and undemanding.

The Tulip

Tossing turban style contours, with an aloofness as one passes by,
Utilizing every charm it possesses, under a lupin blue cloudless sky,
Like a guardsman, gallantly standing, holding up his noble head high,
In rainbow colours, brilliant and stately, a vision to surely yield a sigh,
Ponder thus upon the regal tulip, it has pure beauty, you cannot deny.

Bedazzled for Days with Love Drops

Dripping my carried full cup sipped.
I want to dance with happiness...
Instead I sit.
I wish to say I am in bliss,
When first kissed and bliss hit me!

I've been goofy with aloofness,
Since our eyes met and gazed!
Dazed as I grin soaking in
The fulfillment that I share,
With one who came and flared my sizzle.
Keeping me bedazzled for days with love drops.

Sometimes I watch you, mark your brooding eyes

Sometimes I watch you, mark your brooding eyes,
Your grave brow over-weighted with deep thought,
Your mouth's straight line — details of such a sort
That all aloofness in your aspect lies.
And yet when in the dark down from above
You swoop like a great bird or God himself
To kiss, your lips have curves. What changeling elf
Is that soft mouth of passionate close love?

When Aloofness Crackle in Silence

When aloofness crackle in the silence
as if you are alone on this earth
and only have the stars, sun and moon
as your companions,

standing alone in the seasons of life,
with golden acorn leaves falling at your feet,
when the year starts to turn
with winter sneaking in silently
and later overwhelming,

always a new spring comes
with buds appearing astoundingly,
there is again the heat of summer
when that season comes to its fullness.
