Follow your North Star
'Til you drop in your tracks;
Your story's ahead,
Don't turn and look back.

Your dreams, when awake,
Are dreams that you follow;
The ones in your sleep
Are misleading and hollow.

Aspire for greatness,
You'll make some mistakes;
But the distance you travel
Will make your ground quake.

If you reach for the stars,
And pull back too soon,
You won't have regrets
When you land on your moon.
Men engaged in a five day battle
you better hold on to your saddle.

armoured knights running a runs race
archers shooting ***** for them to face

Dressed in white but no messengers of peace
these are 22 warriors, not from Rome or Greece

The ground remains green, but the pitch burns
in the fight for the prestigious ashes urn
Despite the glam and show of short formats, Test cricket remains the ultimate level of the sport, and the Ashes is the heart of it !

The series is heated up now with England and Australia both winning 1 match each.
I stand by the period bed
where Dupleix rested his head,
wondering at his kind of life,

if he lay there with wife
or some native maid.

doesn't hint his bronze bust
if he lay there bare
in ebullient lust

stirred by a girl darkly thin
bowing himself to her embrace
finding in his war beaten mind, happiness,

or, there wasn't any such thing,
he lay there staring at the ceiling
far from even one warm kiss
storming his brain to defeat the British...

I think of the kitten that survived a few days,
it still pains.

In the museum, I rhyme dust with lust.
 Jul 2015 poetessa diabolica
Liam
always been a perpetual dreamer
  castles forever floating in air
foundations constantly shifting below
  earthly tremors shaking the heavens
…a role reversal made to disorder

sometimes i long for a clear blue sky
  without puffy white towers soaring
ofttimes i wish for a darkened slumber
  with no white noise of fanciful fanfare
…a dreamer in reverie of dreamless nights
Hollow black jasper on my tongue
Leaving ivory leaves twining down my throat
This disease weighs on my mind
The gold reflects back my skeleton
Ink teeth bending your silver sword
It's hardest to remember the beauty
A lonely mouth wanting to speak
Holding the hour spinning with regrets
Fading my mind in sunset strings
These sickly hounds aren't like their wolf brothers
Rotten stones lining the graveyard
***** out these cinders
And leave me the coals

*I hope I haven't left yet
Love cannot be overcome
indeed love overcomes all else
Love is stronger than all strength
love abides mightier than steel
love sends its shock wave
and all falls like so many skittles
I became slave to a ring tone
back last century
and know some take a phone with them
into the grave, just in case
I do not think I have it that bad
but you never know
I will have my number chiselled on my headstone
and leave it up to you
to ring or not.
I feel like I'm floating outside of my body.
And I can't get back in
I'm locked out
I don't have a key to myself...
