Water In My Time

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:46:00 +0000

The Bank can be seen
The Clyde has made it wide
Below is the sea with colour of the moon
The hat and scarf is the colour of warmth
That’s there floating on the sea

The boat will flow to the end
It will carry the picture of dreams
The spaced out time will take you there
Under the bridge your thoughts will change
The Colour of the water will make you float

Unfurled
By JV

The main artery
Whooshing all over the world
Life giving
Saltire unfurled

Ships for all
Coming out from the docks
Thousands of workers
Timed by clocks

Red and white cells
Fast and deep
Blue blood
History for all to keep

Lifeblood
For an empire
Dragon and cross
Now joined with saltire

Humble beginnings
From full time employment
Hard, hard graft
Hard, hard enjoyment

Psychedelic Clyde Bank

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:11:35 +0000

The prow of the ferry
Slices deep into the water
A paper thin edge
Cutting through liquid flesh
Sparks of light shatter
Around the edges
Like darting red minnows
Faint orange octopus tails
Moray eels donning
Navy blue tops
Scales dizzy with glamour
Flash yellow amber warning
Your, out, of, your, depth
At shoals of herring
Who took a wrong turn
Out in the Atlantic
And egging each other on
Swam tirelessly
Against the tide
Only to find themselves
Scattered, shaken, shards
On the banks of the Clyde

Picture see

The picture you see has your through
Yes fell what you fell
And see what you see
Light and dark makes the shades
The face you see can have
Is where your past will rest

Air........

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:23:34 +0000

The view below is our time
Leave the ground and flow through the air
Now we go slow the sound is heard
Below is the moon the place outside
The land with the black ‘n’ white

Fossils

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:16:43 +0000

A sycamore leaf
Preserved in stone
Petrified
A tortoise hides
Inside the shell
Embossed
A negative indent
On the surface
Stumbling
Over lunar landscape
Breathless wordless
Bright barren
A trench sinking
Beneath gangrenous feet
Craters
Where night retreats
With wounded men

Sinner's Holiday

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:43:09 +0000

The Day is here and my name is Jim

I can talk tougher than James Cagney
Do things and act smarter than Charile Chan
Have my love and can love longer than Valention
Makes me never be the outside man

Silver Cloud and have a silver tongue on a live screen
With my sweetest of the sweet
Meanest of the mean

"WHAR DAE YI STAE NOO?"

“WHAR DAE YI STAE NOO?”

- By JV
Look this is very important
And as I’ve said many times
Economical with the truth?
I’ve got driving fines?
Ah ken, that’s whaye am askin yi
Yir lies stick tae yi lik glue
The patsies hiv aa bin cote
So whar dae yi stae noo?
Wiz it you that claimed tae get yir moat cleaned?
And yir wee hoose fur the ducks?
Pits yir inheritance money abroad?
And avoids peyin aa yir tax?
Hauf peyed an illegal immigrant as yir cleaner?
And wiz greedy tae the max?
I think my first house is now my third
And my second is now my first
Give me that to drink
I’ve got a terrible thirst
You’ll need to ask my secretary
That’ll be my son, daughter or wife
I don’t like your attitude
Waging wars in the name of you people has been my life.

Red Rose Of Love For The Girl

Thu, 19 Jan 2012 13:46:32 +0000

One seed grows it larger the other one makes it small, the one the devils gardener has don’t do anything at all — “Go ask your heart it’s on the way”

And if you go chasing wasps and you know you will fall, tell’em the devils message is crawling up for getting the stings, say to the heart “It’s getting warmer”

When the wicked spirits get up and tell you were you’ve to go, the poison snakes will hit and your mind losing — “Go ask the angels they will know what to do”

When the devil fails with the angels the devil’s green knight is taken away and the dark knights Queen she will be off

Remember the love it’s not dead and not active

“Free Your Head”
and “Free Your Mind”
“Free Your Mind”

From the White Rabbit…………

INTERNET OF MOTORWAYS

Thu, 19 Jan 2012 13:27:00 +0000

By JV

When you buy a car, for example,
You don’t have to say
Does the steering wheel
Come with this version?
How about the side mirrors?
These brakes don’t work
Only for the guy to say

“You never asked me about brakes”

So when I tried to buy a laptop
How come when I said
My scanner doesn’t work
The guy said

“You didn’t ask me about adobe”

Bluetooth doesn’t work either

“You didn’t ask me about bluetooth”

When you buy a computer
You first have to draw up
A huge big list about

Absolutely everything that makes the thing work

Do these same computer people
have cars?
And do they know the full
Mechanics of their car?
Or do they just jump in
And drive along the
Internet of motorways and roads
Expecting them to be below their wheels
And headed in the direction as stated?

Are shop controllers so insecure
That they need to play these games
To make themselves feel good?

Balanced Pools

Thu, 17 Nov 2011 14:19:00 +0000

By JV

Life on the earth
Can be heaven or hell
By birth
Or feeling unwell

Carrying loads
Covered in muck
Slimy hilly roads
Run out of luck

Busy in groups
All alone
Out with the troops
Too broken to moan

Posture perfect
Built up with hay
Keep your own respect
Relief at the end of the day

Fishermen
Bobbing the seas
Children
With families to please

Bundle of bricks
On the head
Pile of sticks
Just to be fed

Rice fields
Like balanced pools
Water over heels
Following nature’s rules

Across under the waterfall
Remembering the price
Fumbling along the wall
Tied together on the ice

Mountain top town
Green valley below
Soaring eagle looking down
Face all aglow
