Sliding into the doorway [italic]allymax Zoo8[/italic] Sliding into the doorway, Half lit by street-light and grace Settling down, the night once more to face Tonight again, feasting on the sins of his days Hopeful of joyous memories To ease him from this place Swigging from the mean-canteen Reminds him of the hurt he has Homeless, absent, missing His only world now; full of space The plans he made as a young dad To protect, and fortify The family, their youth and growth was his dream Still is, as the years go by SHOUTS AND SWEARS As if that will nullify tears He knows many places, many spots Where many homeless place their lots They all have their 'thing' Drugs, alcohol, can't halt the sting But, still, the homeless feel more than real They talk to themselves, they talk to the night They ask God what's wrong, what's right Gulps, grunts of umbrage, exorcising laws The force of femocracy and its cause God wins again, the establishment blood spilled A nation of Scots? No more hurt for 'yer-man' in a kilt Smiling wryly, all the med's begin to work No need for umbrage nor exercising torque He is grateful for the easiness His life has allowed him guilt He stares out, to passers-by in the rain He knows he can see them, but he is in refrain There, but by the grace of God, go I, he says Sliding into the doorway, I'm not absent, just missing Fond memories of family life, Him, me a father, traditional ways; Sliding out of the doorway, love unconditional, to a better place. Inspired by Scotland's fathers/absent/missi ng/hero's with a duty of God. To my brother Mal; in the hands of our Father. [[italic]italic]allymax[/italic] /[/italic] allymax. All rights reserved.

A 'Times' newspaper reporter interviewed a widow of a poet, and it was published in spring 2001, (sorry, can't remember the month). The reporter asked what her husband was like, her reply was, " it's difficult to say, he was very rarely with us in this world'. And, to give you a clue as to who the poet was here's one of his poems; can you guess who he is? When the trees do laugh with our merry wit, And the green hills laugh with the noise of it, When the meadows laugh with the lively green, And the grasshopper laughs in the merry scene, When the greenwood laughs with the voice joy, And the dimpling stream runs laughing by, When Edessa, and Lyca, and Emilie, with their sweet round mouths sing ha, ha, he, When the painted Birds laugh in the shade, Where our table with cherries and nuts is spread; Come live and be merry and join with me, To sing the sweet chorus of ha, ha, he.
