No. 33

It’s not often that one finds the time
To sit quiet and come up with a rhyme
And just now I sat down
Chewed my pen, gave a frown
‘Cause I can’t seem to get the last line

The Wild Swans At Coole
William Butler Yeats

The trees are in their autumn beauty,
The woodland paths are dry,
Under the October twilight the water
Mirrors a still sky;
Upon the brimming water among the stones
Are nine-and-fifty swans.

The nineteenth autumn has come upon me
Since I first made my count;
I saw, before I had well finished,
All suddenly mount
And scatter wheeling in great broken rings
Upon their clamorous wings.

I have looked upon those brilliant creatures,
And now my heart is sore.
All's changed since I, hearing at twilight,
The first time on this shore,
The bell-beat of their wings above my head,
Trod with a lighter tread.

Unwearied still, lover by lover,
They paddle in the cold
Companionable streams or climb the air;
Their hearts have not grown old;
Passion or conquest, wander where they will,
Attend upon them still.

But now they drift on the still water,
Mysterious, beautiful;
Among what rushes will they build,
By what lake's edge or pool
Delight men's eyes when I awake some day
To find they have flown away?

Incredibly twee, mawkish even, this over-sentimental and jejune offering from Mr. Jacks earns a place in the Studio.

                              A sheep in devil's clothing
                                    Wounded on her journey
                                    Engraved upon her heart, she did
                                    A solemn promise to be worthy
                                    To be good by being bad
                                    Working for the man
                                    A different kind of Uncle Sam
                                    Trading allegiance for power and power for sand
                                    Lost the handle of the whip
                                    Drinking poison in large sips
                                    Can't catch the mockingbird whose words
                                    Echoing mournful dirge
                                    Paint the fable of her death
                                    And how she resurrects
                                    A secret hard to keep
                                    One which no one will believe
                                    Wolf crying over spilled milk

                                    Little momma ruby red
                                    With your wings made of lead
                                    Hit the road and dust will fly
                                    Black birds fill the sky

                                    Let us now praise
                                    The infinite loving ways
                                    Known to all you touched
                                    Butterflies exploding in the wake of you
                                    Magical dust, lust, kept locked in a secret box
                                    Fear of sin
                                    You told me just before you died, the last December of your life
                                    “Life is too short to hide, let in the love, let in the light”
                                    We saw it in your eyes, when they went 'round the room one last time
                                    Your face already smiling God from the other side
                                    “Are you ready to walk me home?”, she said
                                    “Tomorrow's never promised and always be honest”
                                    Her breath is now our song
                                    Lady death is never wrong
                                    Make no mistake, Lady Death is never wrong

                                                Man O War Rocks

I've been to Durdle Door several times…not far up the coast from me, and we've stayed in the caravan & camping site on the top of the cliffs.
The last time I was there access to scramble up to the top of the “Door” itself had been fenced off because too much erosion had been caused by people trying to access it.
There's a rock formation jutting from the sea in a cove on the other side called 'Man O War Rocks' which is fun to swim out to, but less fun trying to get up onto the quite jagged rocks.

Durdle Door, Dorset

Part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, Durdle Door is one of the most recognisable natural landmarks in England. The view of the striking rock formation is most impressive from on top of the cliffs, but an equally enticing experience has to be swimming under the archway on a warm summer’s day. There is a path to the beach from Lulworth Cove that offers dramatic views on the way down.

Gay
by The Forgotten Soul

I looked into her eyes
A man by my side
And I fell hard
Unsure if it was wise

Then the man fell off the bridge of the unknown
and into the arms of another
Forgetting all before
I slit my wrists, disappointing my mother

Down a dark path I went
I took anything to numb the pain
Then she appeared
Racing through my mind again

I fell even harder
Something about her smile
Drove me off a cliff
and made me realize for her I would run a mile

She looked at me
my body frozen
Embraced with a hug
And I realized love could not be chosen

Her a girl
and me a girl
I decided what she made me feel
was worth giving a whirl

And now she has my heart
As I have hers
I have never felt ashamed
because love is love and with one another we concur

Nothing is too hard yet nothing is too simple
All it took was a ¨hey¨
For me to realize that deep down all along I was gay

Waiting for the right one
I wasted my time with others
And now I finally feel like all the pain has paid off
And one day our children will have two mothers

So thankyou lord for bringing her to me
because i fear without her, I truly would be nothing
