Light Sources

Tendrils of effluent light
Capture the night
'Tis borne of desperation unsung
Grasping for glimmers
The star-lit shimmers
Before-it all-comes undone;

Galaxies befriend Mother Earth
The Universe in solumn prayer
Light sources urgent need-bellowing
'Neath a blanket of blackened despair;

Dark side of the moon-now fading
Venus-now brighter than noon
Super Nova's flash their shimmers
Lunar changes arriving soon;

Before the dawn breaks in the east
Before the rise and the glory of the sun
In need of effluent light for the desperate night

Needs~

She looks at him with guiless eyes
Totally absorbed by his robust build
Her mind conjuring up a virtual mix
Of heated scenario's
Bathed in effluent heat
She simmers-transfixed;
His moistened lips beckon her
Reduced to her knees by desire
Pleasing him becomes the only
Equation that makes any sense
The longing reaches
Heightened cresendo's
This night will be theirs
Yes, this night is their forever

Unfortunately, our affluent society has also been an effluent society.

It's a piece of property that, if you're going to have a development out here, you need to have a golf course because you need to take care of the effluent water being created by the development.

A Forest

Cruising through Middlesbrough
mid December.

Passing the ICI chemical factory
which indiscriminately
pours untreated effluent
into the river
which gives it a home.

It's brightly lit
and looks
for all the world
like a forest
of ornate, illuminate
christmas trees.

Lining, defining
the banks
of the Tees.

Omens...?

Beauty was her calling card-once
A sacrificial lamb of peace-
Alas, she burned her life-as a candle
In days of pain without cease;
Her hopeless world of-make-believe
Where inner perfection struggled to grow
A nuance of yet another shade-fading
Took away her effluent Fire-fly glow;
Near the honey suckles the tambourines played
A most disquieting melody
For the morning trespassed upon her world
Boding her happiness-never to be;

Warning

Within the circumference of circumstance
We conjure up thoughts-once and again
In muted tones of caution
Of less IS more;
Wafting through this moment
Are jagged impressions left
Of a once pristine pure second
Where hand in hand we walked
A ribbon of a highway
Together-totally immersed
In effluent passion-simply oozing;
Upon a journey, so sure Golden;
Off our guard-ambushed
By the copper tendrils, laying in wait
Portents of a Paisley Sky
And a victim filled fate;

She's Nothing To Me!

She's nothing to me, you're all I need
I believe you're for me, a true friend indeed
I sit and stand accused, I am being abused
Engaged, married and commited myself to honesty
My trust like effluent flushed and flew in stinky streams
My hopes, fantasies, wishes, prayers and all my dreams
Like an unlawful law banned
And now I'm a farmer without land

A millionaire without a cent
A socialist without a friend
A label without a brand
A rockstar without a band
I am a wall to mend
She's nothing to me

O What Shall We Do With These Drunken Men?

1
Oh what shall we do
what shall we do
with these drunken men -
like my very own darling
Mike Hammer?

Last night
I picked him up
from outside the pub
where he'd been drinking
with his mates
And in the car
almost near our home
he says: I love you
And I say to him:
Is that you talking
or the beer?
And he says
like lightning:

April Showers

It is the season of new beginnings...
Spring removes her winter robe
And fades into rainbows of hope;
The sun shines its headlights into April-
And in the garden the effluent scent
Of multiple blooms delights the nose;
The naked trees are no longer bare
Clothed in egg shell, pink and green.
Now entertaining the sometime visit
Of the butterfly and bee;
Showers are but a necessity
Splashed to chase the thirst away
They are never maudlin weeping tears
But always fall on purpose
For they help to bring
Even more blossoms to May;

Dedicated To: 'Betty'...AKA- - - - - - -
