Revised sonnet #32

That Cupid cued the arrow could I guess

Its burning head had hit and pierced the chest

Id woken screaming under deep duress

Id heard how he assaulted played the pest

Then into lake I leapt that waters quell

The fire I suffered far inside the ribs

I sensed the ruptured skin turn cool and well

The scars that formed I feared as large as squibs

I surfaced soon and broke the arrow off

The buried barb then served the lungs as plug

I drained in reputation rather smug

I spat out water while in midst of cough

Aswim I wished Id gotten wounded worse

And melted down to dolphin cuter curse

Chorus worse erger pire

Revised sonnet #31

A mass of curly hair upon young Kate

Yet facial symmetries a beauty state

You catch the sudden smiles that elevate

Yes she is after all your ardent mate

You know the funny mix of luck and fate

You deem your pals in need of double date

Your list of ladies isnt long or great

You ask your Kate to solve the singles strait

The girl is modest down to mincing gait

The girl is nearly nineteen no jail bait

The girl is buxom brink of overweight

The girl is social sort to cooperate

You pride yourself its proof youll delegate

Upon the double date youll celebrate

Chorus delegate commission entrust

Revised sonnet #13

The sheltered smoke of roman frankincense

Turned ash I smeared upon myself till paste

I posed upon the balcony at vents

The rain erased the muck as water waste

I dried and dressed in scythian hemp in haste

I puffed on lumberjack true pixie dust

You were the next to shower and came off chaste

The rain if cool and clear occluded lust

The baffled balustrade inhales a gust

I look across concrete canals to west

There barges bob and glide and locks adjust

Our castle water reservoirs invest

The balcony is niche to pots of lant

Atlantean then the world wide water plant

Chorus lant lant lant

Revised sonnet #30

Ten big blue biro blips across the map

Of use to us itinerary nodes

You squirmed the dig of shoulder strap

I valued little known old rustic roads

A priest at steering wheel went where we went

The bikes then we eased flat on black truck deck

The cozido thats broiled in crater vent

Of which youd heard he had at call and beck

At Tlimmoh Nodjeim Island got his game

His fingers freely waddled up your leg

As fancied puffins what a powder keg

The lofty monastery rather lame

I paid him off in copper coins in sort

And we took off on bikes of no import

Chorus sort kind type

Revised sonnet #29

Yes Julies husbands bumbling brings a grope

In deficit of harm you keep it hush

In benefit of doubt you blank to cope

In company theirs next you cringe and blush

Yes Julies walls away on sofa plush

As he assaults inside your moment weak

You caught in corridor alone and flush

Against the wall youre bustled by the sneak

This tortuous episode you feel youll freak

You lever him away yank blouse and skirt

You writhe it rough you know youre not unique

If Julies last to know youre hardly hurt

That pampered individual versed in guile

Yes Julies husbands bumbling brings up bile

Chorus guile artifice slyness

Revised sonnet #28

She sleeps serene in coma void of guile

Ive got an office lover little vain

Its dozy dalliance done around the dial

Till things turn true to normal once again

I must admit in past Id been a pain

Id shoot her down in sneers Id undermine

The jaws of life beneath the tow truck crane

Had cut her from the car crash cut it fine

I wondered was it otherworldly sign

Id wished a crash upon her meddling mum

The meme induced a shiver down the spine

Evoked a vibe that made me more than glum

Shes so subservient what youd want in life

I waiver just estranged in range of wife

Chorus life lewe liv

Revised sonnet #27

Manslaughter sort of how he hacked his end

His face angelic neither sweet or sour

He was in fact a loyal ebullient friend

Wed done the deed unhinged in public bower

We hugged the priest in sudden hail and shower

Mist cloaked us next in grey much like a gauze

On straps the coffin lowered I flung one flower

We studied sombrely effect and cause

The episode to end abruptly draws

Old friends they were at first the sort ideal

To thoughts that he expressed I gave applause

The fling in circumstance I can conceal

I wont whitewash woe neither will I sulk

The black tar vulgar was free from fake bulk

Chorus sulk brood grouse

Revised sonnet #26

Ill suffer since Im smug nod null known cure

Ill slouch upon a sofa suck in stalest air

Ill wear a wife whos warm and pretty pure

And blonde as banister upon the stair

I mustnt bitch as life is more than fair

I live off notes and bonds via interest

At conferences pass as folding chair

I parrot corny jokes to join in jest

Of harmony at home I keep abreast

The wife in cloaking drape and carpet reds

In paint of sunset scenes she sees ooze west

The lipstick shawl skirt socks and shoes embeds

A set of furniture in open sight

A couple camouflaged at bourgeois height

Chorus sight look view 

Revised sonnet #24

And so she stands you up the date a clue

You call to double check yet all in vain

Youve gotten brush off big time nothing new

Your numbers blocked the tactics self explain

You seek success of which the price is pain

You wonder whether stalking counts as work

You gather agony transmutes to gain

You need to grow a spine as now you shirk 

Young once I was you wont to wilt then irk

I knotted noose to hasten my own end

I pondered such a soul a decent jerk

I put on cotton clothes that least offend

I roll on punches clip the jab on chin

You need a spliff or shot of Bombay gin

Chorus chin barbilla hake

Revised sonnet #23

My dear Im daunted by your etiquette

I push a safety valve its overflow

You hide your feelings deep you block and vet

I show my feelings flat I cuss and crow

You find a silver lining stuck in woe

I rate a woe as harbinger of more

You find a fault amended chance to grow

I rate a fault as sign of rotten core

Your hesitation hangs you half a bore

My spontaneity mounts me much a wreck

To everyone else were a constant chore

You yoke your yielding arms around my neck

If back to back if front to front two one

Unpopular and linked to nearly none

Chorus one een une

Revised sonnet #25

When Cupid picked up Psyche full of groans

And over orange trees those tight two flew

Annoyed at him and not the broken bones

Of nosiness her anger greatly grew

Next Cupid carried her far from folks view

The broken ankles put in plaster cast

To soporific remedies the skew

And Psyche cried in silence mind in past

The candle burns on him if less than blast

Off clumsy her diminished lovely looks

Apollo promised her a monster vast

On either side cool calculating crooks

If Zeus turned her to goddess loving zest

Then Cupid married more than second best

Chorus zest gusto relish

Revised sonnet #20

If glad or critical your eyes just cry

If high or humorous your hollers hush

If wise or ignorant your smiles sign shy

If mad or mesmerised your cheeks take blush

If hurt or bellicose your locks look lush

If late or energised your gait is brisk

If slim or corpulent your frocks fit flush

If free or ratified your bets ooze risk

If kind or paranoid your fingers frisk

If naive or arrogant your questions nip

If wild or whimsical your gestures whisk

If pure or polarized your numbers dip

To spirituality Ill swear the oath

If it is it Im baffled by your growth

Chorus oath pledge vow

This is a bingo laugh track for interactive comedy. Get a line and the Punters' Union sends you a pay cheque.

Revised sonnet #22

You say to me the words I want to hear

You echo what I say above and beyond

You bulk it up to notes that engineer

Or boil it down to points that correspond

You fit on me the mode of which Im fond

You mirror what I do at heavens hurled

You work it down to depths of demimonde

Or winch it up to links of underworld

I like to heap your hair if waved if curled

I like to lightly stroke your solid hips

I like to pitch your parasol if furled

I like to paint a pink along your lips

True were alike I weigh you little less

Youre bubbly fun apart you effervesce

Chorus less reduced skimpier

Revised sonnet #21

She slurps some ouzo out of crystal glass

Then ice cubes clinks on strike of swizzle stick

The captain shows in Greek a brassy sass

In orders called to crew those followed quick

She senses instantly that they two click

Theyre down to their togs due to summer heat

Then wonders what it would taste like to lick

Tattoo of turtle over his tight seat

The shallow waters serve as honest cheat

Their snorkel dive eschews the reap of sponge

Its pilots log unopened plonked quite neat

The sunken aeroplane is met on plunge

The petty problems since she slinked off home

A captivating captain wreck theyd comb

Chorus home dwelling residence

Revised sonnet #19

The arguments initiate mutual hurt

Id rather sulk unheard than force a fact

The silence leads you onto high alert

Id rather feign the double cataract

Quite unalike thats opposites exact

You stand your ground and see I shy away

You set in stone and learn I ply a pact

You rule a roost and hear I but obey

You double down and know I often sway

You spend in spree and bet I save in bank

You know it all and sense I muse astray

You favour file and get I rise in rank

Twixt them the tolerance that matters most

If mans a virus woman has to host

Chorus most greatest principally

Revised sonnet #18

Closed circuit cameras are closely eyed

A juvenile delinquent chooses crime

The tester perfume spray on wrist applied

Its ambergris and bermagot in mime

As balm of Gildead from equator clime

Ends dropped in cleavage business is brisk

You only pilfer product peers view prime

Then more inside your skirt you flick and whisk

A shame in law Im not allowed to frisk

The lack of conscience makes me mad till blush

I wonder why you would take low yield risk

Ill catch you next time total tracking hush

Youre not that marvellous you melt in crowd

If caught in it Id guess youll cuss aloud

Chorus crowd horde throng

Revised sonnet #17

You criticize your husbands every move

Theres nothing left that he enlists as right

The fragile chauvinism a fact you prove

You stand your ground you guarantee one fight

Your status lower than his the social plight

Your weekly salary the stingier sum

Of feisty feminism youre an acolyte

Youre last to know the nanny has it rum

The nannys gestures meek and easygoing

Elusive prize appear to him in stress

Ive seen them pashing any stage of dress

You live a lie on brink of never knowing

A caring soul if shes in birth third world

The dab at spooning him on sofa curled

Chorus world globe sphere

Revised sonnet #16

You sly shortsellers who adore the plunge

In shares your profits paying off money owed

You squeeze till penny stock you dry your sponge

Your faith in failure silver lining lode

Yet female beauty boosts in lovers ode

An everlasting emphasis on health

And gifts that certified cash cant corrode

Ill list the certainties of cyber wealth

The amethyst eyes bringing blue to light

The pearl teeth signaling a subtle smile

The ruby lips of pout in blossom bright

The copper hair heaped high in coil and pile

Our currencies are calories and watts

Through motor mounted neural nano bots

Chorus watts watts watts

Revised sonnet #15

A stranded soul I queasily enquire

Cocquettes concerned in clique of peer to peer

To catalogue and catwalk will aspire

Is any modest underneath veneer?

You say youre not a psychic soul or seer

You havent seen a frozen pose and pout

A clever cut of clothes yes nothing queer

The code of decency they couldnt flout

A gambling man I am Im linked to luck

To quirky coincidence I look to muse

Upon expedient deeds in name of ruse

I frown I wince at ways to pass the buck

Ill meet the babe the way its ever meant

In circumstance of dozy accident

Chorus meant deemed ordained
