Complicity
COMPLICITY
Cupid wears no double face
as two united hearts may trace
complicity in love's embrace

Foreclosure
Fleeting complicity
meeting adversity
depleting prosperity
deleting electricity.
Defeating rime
completing rhyme:
anthropocentricity.

TIME LI[N]ES
No frontiers or no front tears -
what difference the passing years
fence from complicity a heart
which close must live light years apart

Sure Render or Surrender, Sur Rendezvous or Sir Rendez Vous
My one half celebrates our meeting's near
And yet my other fears the tears of fear.
Undoubting, one lives US as heaven's writ,
Deterred the other by too perfect fit,
Each part completes the other's inner whole,
Completely each defeats void's empty hole,
Made one by destined synchronicity,
Maid Man ban 'ran', scan fans complicity
As natural for flowing through twinned soul
Unsure, yet too aware two can't be sole.
Dance catalyzed by chance shows love's pure state
Enhanced by 'wait', scorns concommitant weight.
Contradictions sweet sound beat for rhyme,
Make light of distance, down beat jealous Time.

Dreams Drawn to Real Reel Redefining 'Peace
Morn's haze through midday's blaze to twilight glaze,
All roads roam homewards where mind finds release.
Unswervingly towards one sought thoughts raise
Dreams drawn to real reel redefining 'peace'.
Emotions' oceans swirl around our planet
Currents criss-cross counter_clock wise fools,
Mock pre-definitions 'sound', aground. None plan it
An answer found heart fans and never cools.
Underpinning all, yet all above,
Destiny spins through cause and effect
Eliminating barricades as love
Challenges presuppositions wrecked.
May phoenix rise from embers, whose glow shows
Complicity far further forwards flows...
Dreams Drawn to Real Reel Redefining 'Peace'

Contentment
Where Cupid wears no double face, -
beholder and beholden trace
together love in love's embrace
as each heart charts the other's pace.
No rush, no crush, no pride of place,
nor hide, nor free-ride commonplace,
as two take time to interface
outside of time in any case.
There’s chaste, no chaser and no chase,
there's no disgrace but only grace
and one shared chrysalid whose case
contentment spins as two enlace.

Simple Language
Simple language seems to be
best when describing you or me,
learning daily how to live,
what refuse and what forgive.
Yet what is held priority
today, tomorrow's pages see
often changes; each must grow
reach for fresh goals, and forwards go.
Avoiding all hypocrisy,
sharing's best, and holding hands
with joyful understanding, he
and she united. Formal bands
aren't always a necessity
where empathy needs no commands
to flourish, flower fair and free.
Open heart provides true key
colours canvas for life's pages,
grants happiness. Complicity
completes this verse - no need for wages.

There are conditions of blindness so voluntary that they become complicity.

Though Winds May Blow
Though winds may blow, though rain may fall,
when tenderness returns again,
wings kiss bliss air, mists fade, joy's reign
brave breasts time's streams, remains on call,
brings comfort through night's harshest squall.
Though rain may fall, though winds may blow,
'forever' neither empty phrase
nor passing phase is shown, love's blaze
seeds pastures green, serene, to sow
complicity with ease aglow.

Acting is the work of two people - it's only possible when you have the complicity, the help, even the manipulation of a director.

do re me far so lad, tease do best unspoken
prosy candyfloss where slips spill trick
no bechstein tastes contours of yr hand
good taste seizes up, words fail
where the spell breaks, untaken,

i fear yr name needs retuning
yr fate is uncertain
a loose place to drown

I came to poetry through the urgent need to denounce injustice, exploitation, humiliation. I know that's not enough to change the world. But to remain silent would have been a kind of intolerable complicity.

The true feeling of sex is that of a deep intimacy, but above all of a deep complicity.

My parents and grandparents have always been engaged in teaching or the medical profession or the priesthood, so I've sort of grown up with a sense of complicity in the lives of other people, so there's no virtue in that; it's the way one is raised.

Reign's End at Land's End
REIGN'S END AT LAND'S END
Nature's piper must be paid
sinkholes swallow Man's parade,
several thousand years' charade
swansong sighs, dies, leaves lands pristine greyed

Black people are victims of an enormous amount of violence. None of those things can take place without the complicity of the people who run the schools and the city.

In my view the European culture carries a very heavy responsibility for the creation of Israel... it is a product of both British and Stalin's anti- Semitism, but the British never faced their own complicity in its construction.

Drug use, within entire teams continues unabated. It is planned and deliberate cheating, with complex methods, sophisticated substances and techniques, and the active complicity of doctors, scientists, team officials and riders. There is nothing accidental about it.
