Edward Lear

who can I blame?

 

if I have your ear,

I’d like to claim—

 

right now and here,

and for shame!—

 

that it would appear,

I fear,

 

that I’m kin to

poet Edward Lear.

 

I know it’s queer,

but my skin is thin

 

and cloaked in scant veneer.

 

I’d really rather

be a kinsman to

 

William Shakespeare.

 

and now I sorrow.

please don’t interfere.

Who?

I would classify myself

as one overenthusiastically keen

 

objector,

 

one apt to ask those in government

who on earth inspects the government

 

inspector.

Oh, No!

“Oh, my!”

I cry.

 

“Is your

bungalow

 

or high?”

 

“Oh, no!”

he says.

 

“Where does

your assembled

 

archipelago?

 

I’d really

very much

 

like tonneau.”

دوری ز وطن

چندیست که از دامن  مادر دوریم       از گرمی دستان لطیفش دوریم

هرچند که لب باز به لبخند کنیم        لیک از غم هجر او به دل مهجوریم

اینجا که وطن از آن ما نیست ولی         هر روز امید وصل رویش جوئیم

با خوب و بدت بسازم و دم نزنم           از ماست که بر ماست اگر مغبونیم

Lonely

A friend need me i as i gazed at the sun. so mad was he when the moon smiled i wondered why   he’s gone! who? My heart is cold my love’s sold am waiting by the shore my thoughts are gone with the flood   A sweet painful monster called loneliness after much stress is trying to make me less what manner of rest do poor me deserve?   lonely am i without anyone to brighten my smiles my fate is in the fog am so lonely and wishing that i wasn’t

When

Today I went back in time,

back to last year and the year before.

I read old words and felt the same,

slightly more numb, but essentially the same.

The pain is still there. The tears still flow.

I keep wondering when it will all go away,

when will I just wake up and find it all a bad dream.

When will I hit the snooze button and try to sneak a few more minutes,

then realize I don’t have a few more minutes because it’s only 8 hours til I have to have

my words ready to say in front of all those people.

I am a Slave to those kids

Hey guys shut that door

Wipe the butter and jam off the floor

Tidy up you room

Sweep the floor and use the broom

Is that washing clean or dirty

Shut your mouth and doant get shirty

Stop your moaning and wash the dishes

Rinse up the cups and and feed the fishes

And when your done take out the garbage

When you talk to your gran mind the verbage

Wash the car dads in bed

Take the dog for a walk and dont get led

Polish my shoes and iron my dress

Tidy up the garden its such a mess.

eight

let me withdraw
with the heavy but conspicuous
slide of a worn pool ball, number 8
tapped with endless regret by a loose
sardonic cue into a shallow pocket
where i am allowed to grow more forbidden
more avoided.

my black and white polish will begin
to saturate as a million fights
and drunken swings are thrown
over me. one day, taken unwillingly
by a callous hand, i will be cracked
in dreary frustration against the wall.

A loss of innocense...

Your lips…

My hips…

Kisses tracing down.

 

Your tongue…

My mouth…

Juices slipping out.

 

Your hand…

My Breast…

We make sighing the only sound.
