Abduction Poems

?As if a child should understand an  adult’s muddle,
putrid oil slick puddle,
the dreadful pain we foist on wide-eyed offspring.
Robotic elders crush with rigid slabs of Portland censure whatever spark remains in t iny rosebud coloured cheeks before their prime.

Aliens took her in the summer of 1997
She had nearly forgotten them 
Incorporating her experiences in her dreams
Pretending it did not happen
So she could remain free and unchained

She remembered waking up on their table
Being examined by creatures with bulb like...Read More

(By Peter Paul Rubens, Flemish painter, 1577 - 1640)


Even in “high art” a theme’s integrity
will sometimes be placed in jeopady. 
Such is the case in this masterwork by
Ruben and which I hope...Read More

E'er since slip of a lad
little boy painfully shy

Catcher in the Rye,
(a teen cult classic penned by

Jerome David Salinger),
now resuming poem

for i am but a dry desert, 
hungry for rainfall in august-
renown for what i am not, 
steering away from the noise
of what i wish to be doing

locked away with a key
not able to twist nor turn

Kneaded with hoofs, as...Read More

“This is ridiculous.” Said the exasperated cop
over the car-phone.
“How the hell, can a tree be up a tree?”
“Do we have a police code for this kind of thing Charlie?”
The cop said turning to his partner.
“Maybe it comes under tree molestation.”...Read More

I have no comfort,
to bring to you… 
No drum to start a song. 
No gift for innocence. 

I have never lost a child. 
Let me cry now.

My most precious prayers,
to our heavenly Lord,
for every comfort, 
“You” will…need…

I can bring you...Read More

Military Industrial Complex out to enslave the masses/
Save your asses from these genocidal, dangerous facists/
They’re releasing gaseous anthrax to take breath outta me/
Our Social Security Numbers are used for their death lottery/
The Bermuda Triangle is a training zone used to...Read More

There’s a bluestone building near the Calder, east of Castlemaine,
One hundred yards back off the highway, beyond a tree filled lane.

serving as the schoolhouse where, the kids would learn and...Read More

*RED ALERT! ENTERING DICTIONARY NEBULA!*

We dream of the day we can travel freely through space,
To expand mankind and forever leave our birthplace,
New adventures and dangers alike,
These are all things people are willing to embrace.

Wake my news, take my message away
Communication became a red flag
Bulletins became a blind eye
Abduction, tourism, grief, and murder became my footsteps
Each time I had to open my eyes
Ignorance and intelligence became enemies
The report, reporting, and reporters became advertisements

I try...Read More

Willingly, I ran
That was the first sign my life was falling apart
Strange bike that brought me back in one piece, damn you
That hope of abduction never came to fruition 
I am complacent in the wake of my life’s finale

Climbing those...Read More

Shards of glass cover the floor, 
all bloodied and disarrayed,
The night of terror exposed to us all, 
the town came out and prayed.
For the ten were gone, yet none be found,
people were completely dismayed.

On a night in October, the last...Read More

Would my screams echLetter o like the peals of a ringing bell?

His German relations would turn in their graves
This great gnome abduction is causing shock waves,
It reads like the spy who came in from the cold
They've held him to ransom and broken the mould.

If time stood still
If life was not such a run of the mill
The world would be a better place
Equality and kindness
Towards each and every race

Wars of all sorts;
Chemicals, diseases,
weapons of mass destruction 
Leaders of the world
Have us all under abduction

“He is out there again.”
It was said in a menacing way.  One check-out woman to another,
In front of me, the customer.
It startled me.
Someone was out there.
But who?

Was he there for a solid reason,
Or was he there for an abduction?

And I had sat down for one measly second to relax. 
Joe?
What?
Can you take this book to the...Read More

Eternal death descends decreed by the oblivious overlords
The forgotten of the ignescent inferno raise their swords
Dexterous demons devour and yell as they march towards

Enter Satan’s shore serving despondent deviant...Read More
