for PATTAYA TRADER 253 (A)

BETRAYAL-OF-A-BELOVED
She thinks his love
was ever true,
and his disloyalty
she never knew.

She thinks that again
together they'll be
when she has departed
for Eternity.

From this world
her man has gone.
Still feeling love
she carries on.

THE-VOICE-OF-VOLTAIRE
Be a verbal Voltaire,
do not let violate
our freedom-of-speech
a dictate-state.

LITERALLY-STONE-DEAD-IDOLS?
Stone idols,
each stone alone
for tribes with faith
in dark-gods of stone?

WEAKNESS-WITHIN-THE-WALLS
Strong steel and brick,
hard brick and steel.
Books banned. Behind bars,
locked in the Bastille
the Marquis de Sade;
all his heroes brick-hard?

MERMAID-YOU-ARE-TO-ME
Trade-winds blow to you
my paper notes.
Yes trade-winds blow to you
my paper boats.
My trade is verse-poetry
and you're so on my wavelength, merlady !

HIS-IS-A-BAD-HEROIN-HABIT
For a dusky drug-dealer
find the guy on the prowl.
Pale, pale, pale,
the cruel-wintery-tale
of this snowy-owl.
