I love you like a man loves an old wound picked up in a razor fight on a street nobody remembers, look at him even in the dark he touches it gently

An ODE to Comedy*****
There was an old man with a bear who said "Its just as I feared!" Two owls & a hen four larks & a wren have all build their nest in my beard

An ODE to Irony*****
Away from you I feel a great emptinessa gnawing lonliness,with you I get that reassuring feeling of wanting to escape.

An ODE to Skeletonial poem*****
Someone can gaze & not be sick but I could never learn the trick there is this to say for blood & breath,they give a man a taste for death.

An ODE to Reality*****
