The Return of Peter Pan
Please, my Wendy, look not so sad at me.
Take back those outstretched hands,
you’ll weep tears enough to blossom sands;
and they hang so heavy on my heart.
Pete's Scribblings: Falling Off
And on the third day he flies forwards as the master, a jubilant shout at last, leaves me puffed out and many years down past.
On a more positive note:
Can I just say this is the first time 50,000 people have read Angel?
Alas, poor Angel.
Still, why not join them?
No...there isn't time...
Dark seasons whence all sealed vision’s door
on my dreams, plunged arrows in my hope,
some thunderous incarnate misanthrope
of knitted brows, gritted breath, humourless,
to beat with fists until he shall confess,
would throw down lines that smack only despair,
boot brutish beast.
Yes, yes, yes:
Sorry, tangled up in poetry. A very happy new year to friends, followers, family. Let's hope next year is better - as The Beatles might say - it can't get no worse.
'Getting better all the time
It can't get no worse.'
Yeah cheers for that, Paul.
Angel Rising
Pete's Scribblings: The Black Angel
Star gazing: for so far beneath heavens, never any doubts
exist of high risk that draws and draws his eye as Tantalus
was drawn to water in perpetuity, or chained Prometheus
might test his bonds in rage.
Pete's Scribblings: Poundland
Too late to take up smoking now,
my dear drifted friend,
for you flume from chimneys,
steeped in seconds, lost in time,
dark in plumage while I, in anger fume
Pete's Scribblings: Poundland
Gabriel scopes out to sea, desert imploring
cold spaces sought, wrecked in our tumbling
here askance, vortex-holed and listing aground.
A million palmed grains per pound
in a long dead friend’s ashes found.
Pete's Scribblings: and all our Angels...
Seize love, hold on to it, don't dismiss it lightly - as Rozalla would say. You'll seldom get another chance.
That's him now on WhatsApp sending me pictures of some mountains in Romania.
Bless.
The South Carpathians. His son has just climbed them.
Yeah? Well my Grandson can ride his bicycle, and we climbed Glastonbury Tor.
No contest.
About 50 days till Easter Break. Will I get to travel to see my beautiful Grandson? Will Coronavirus get sorted on UK in time? Looking doubtful and I’m going slowly crazy.
A Song of Hope
Pete's Scribblings: Gravity
and somewhere but faint and out on the rim,
well love’s gravity could still yet bring
that body’s cold spark in.
Pete's Scribblings: Conversing The Angel
A Song for Saturday Evenings in 63
I’ll find my own way out, thank you.
Through the exit door.
I will always be a special memory to you:
No more and no less.
I choose no more.
Men came o repair stuff in apartment just as I was about to exercise. Had to eat my supper while I waited. Don’t want to exercise now. Think I’ll practise guitar.
Pete's Scribblings: Half of What I say is Meaningless, But I Say it J...
Quick. Use an umbrella,
shield yourself, it’s coming, rushing headlong,
so protect yourself – better safe than sorry.
Pete's Scribblings: All Tomorrow’s Meetings
Heave breasts, bodies throbbing beg
wanton lips to kiss hair, forehead, neck, thighs,
full feast, bury heads, teasing tongues part legs,
hot tangled Gorgon’s knot, shuddering ride.
But, Captain, It is said that - should she appear,
will she make idle playthings of all our fears
build hollow temples out of my frozen tears
fashion ice necklaces from our fallen years.
Garlic.
Today I had to walk all the way to Joaan just to cross Al Sadd Street to buy some. One and a half miles.
Better be worth it that’s all I’m saying.
Good morning! Wow! I can't believe you guys! I just hit 231 followers! Let's have a writer's lift to lift some stuff!
Sure...let me just pick up my teeth from the floor.
Pete's Scribblings: Day After Day
As you slip on a wedding ring
falling forwards, you must model a grin
while thinking mostly of me it’s true,
empty words spill from sky of blue,
pale moon pulls oceans to and fro;
without love, whatever will we do?
Dylan was a beast and made me do A Minor Pentatonics up to 6th position. ‘Count’ he screams.
Well. I think a simple breakfast of dates fruit and hummus.
Pete's Scribblings: Rare
So precious a gem, so priceless a metal,
blood red porcelain would not compare,
finest bone china in willow patterned story,
we read it in our drowsy sleep and weep.
Pete's Scribblings: From Now On
If not, well, no crime
was ever committed,
just get on with the living,
forgiven and forgiving,
the herd is mostly immune,
to any kindness shown:
decisions taken, dues paid,
I’ll turn my unfeeling eye
Neede a break. Apologies.
Now before you criticise it is a HIGHLY danceable track. You just can’t stop your feet. 😂
Yesterday shatter tomorrow don’t matter
