Here lies another box for nature,
Carbon ready;
Black to eyes down here,
Where death is at its job.
...
Yes, my waist is fifty inches -
Big for me because I'm short.
And yes, I like my cheddar cheese
When partnered with a vintage port.
...
Her flame was only for the women –
Not for us unlucky men;
A weakness lay for feminine way:
To feel an even fairer skin
...
You touched my tongue
With yours - blending buds,
Kindling minds, racing worlds,
Unifying two lovers - one body.
...
Red for blood –
Pumping out a life;
Paling in a death;
Blushing in a feminine face –
...
Contact was sharp…
I jolted from immediacy of senses torn from mind -
Such was I at unawares with you;
...
Whence the reek, the sombre clouds?
Those of billows gargantuan;
Of storms immense, blushing black,
Wishing sought of me to assess?
...
War is war with Nature's peace -
Eternal is the pounding drill.
War is Man in Evil's grease -
Besmeared is he with chronic ill.
...
