Aged eyes, that one were with passion lit
Now are dark, as if no longer there
Is life, much less passion, lost in thoughts
Of times past they refuse to share
We look on the follies of the youth
Caught in passions throes, and we forget
That these aged eyes once were wild and young
Perhaps in their mind they still are yet.

Aged Eyes
Aged eyes, that one were with passion lit
Now are dark, as if no longer there
Is life, much less passion, lost in thoughts
Of times past they refuse to share
We look on the follies of the youth
Caught in passions throes, and we forget
That these aged eyes once were wild and young
Perhaps in their mind they still are yet.

Pope Francis – Blessing the Catholic faithful while not condemning the African cardinal who said those who have sex with kids were sick and not criminals
The Vatican appoints a new Tsar…
Fawning, the faithful, joyfully welcome him
Forget wrongs past committed against man
And more importantly, against God.
In their lust to obtain a [...]
Cupid the Hitman
Cupid from Galatea by Raphael
There’s a little fella flying,
He’s appearing here and there,
Striking victims at random,
He can appear anywhere!
The police put out a description…
A chubby cherub with wings…
Known to strike folk by twos!
Afflict them with love, and all that brings!
The Garda are looking for him…
Th [...]
Burns Loved The Lasses
Burns loved the lasses, out with many he walked
How the parsons grumbled: how the people talked!
Condemned he was by parson and people, in pulpit and letter!
Shame on the ladies who walked out with a man like he!
The lad that loved the lasses scorned them all
Who he and his ladies as sinners they did call
And chided them for having nothing to [...]
Thought I – A Poem I’ll W...
Thought I: a poem for her I’ll write
For her every day,
Though never loved was she by I
My feelings for her I’d show in my own way.
But my feelings that I did hide
Was I right not to let them be shown?
A friend I was to her like many
Of my love she has not known.
Never known and never will
From now until our death,
It is as if that in our liv [...]
She Loved Not Him Who Her Father Chos...
She loved not him who her father chose
A man with castle and land
Oh, no, it was but a humble serf
Who asked the daughters hand.
And to spite his pleas and all he said
And in fits of rage did fly
The fact he was her father made
No difference, she did defy.
She a girl who ne’re spoke once
A word against her fathers will
But such is the power o [...]
Flown Butterfly, Remembered, Regrette...
Flown, she of painted wings, long flown
Forlorn, I think of other things, have known
Tears, shed for her memory, who never knew!
Tears, shed by fools like me, who failed to do
Speak, of love secret held in heart, undeclared
Seek, today and forever apart, compared
She: flown and her flight for her found: settled
Me, stayed but in staying neve [...]

The Courtly Lovers
Her eyes caught mine, and then her smile
Wrought tears from my heart, not blood:
From me she has flown, from afar loved unknown
A love unspoken, perhaps understood?
Yes, I adore thee, as Dante did Beatrice
Though saw you more than twice did I
We danced – danced but once together
We parted – the years pass slowly by…
“Read the wo [...]
The Muses Cafe
As I pay, I look on their faces
And I wonder, are they proud
Now that they are acknowledged with
The respect in life so often not allowed?
And as I eat I wonder will
On some far off distant day
My picture, name and words shall be
On a wall in the Muses Café?
Could I reach the heights they’ve known
With my offerings of poetry and prose
Shall m [...]
Modern Venus
Painting by Roz McQuillan
She sits there, a modern Venus
The seashell thrown to the tossing seas
And to the viewer she is enticing
And see seeks to seduce and tease
And this modern Venus is waiting
It seems for a man
Eyes closed, as if she is dreaming
Imagining if she can
She is running through a field of flowers
As when young, without a care [...]

We danced – danced but once together

And the World Always Turns
She walks somewhere I do not know
And I wish I was there
But love in time I did not show
That I for her did care.
It matters not in lifes scheme
That in love with her was I
That of her I did often dream
But to say so was too shy,
So I have lost and that is life
My heart with loves pains burns
She will be someone elses wife
And the world alwa [...]
Her I Would Follow Dropping All
Her I would follow dropping all
And everything at her call
She who to call me to do so never would,
And so drop all I never could.
But, of, if another time,
When to leave all was not a crime
When nothing to this earth I owed,
For me no assetts or liabilities showed.
I’d cast by all that I’d earned,
To follow she for whom I yearned [...]
In Times Passing, Feelings Have Faded
In times passing feelings have faded,
That I never allowed as love to be
For I, the fool, maybe as such I was to so feel
Thought one like you would never love one like me.
But in a cavern deep in my heart,
A fire warm for you does burn,
And on thinking of the beauty of your smile
The conflagation does return.
What of you has become, I do not [...]
