Premium Member The Uncanny Stranger
The stranger is strange, pariah, leper sounds offbeat,
 Neither truculent, nor relevant, all destined to encounter the doomed relic;
The bizarre outlander, alien to stimulate the instant pulse-beats!
The uninvited hobnobber, one despises to welcome in routine frolic.
The stranger is unsolicited, the object of latent fear,
As strange...

Son of Stones
Son of Stones


A Rock that split
  This wretch begot...
So, douse me with grit
  My mirth is got.

Builders bygone
   My praise arouse
Who built with stone
  This Fort of a house.

I wear dread locks*
  To their martyrdom (e)
Who built from rocks

My Love Is Immortal Part I
Resorting nature of Years and year's,
Moving miles and miles,
Life is just a bit of moments filled with sheer joy as I share it with You, my lovely Adam.
You won't believe, Its even been more better accompanying with You.
How long shall I wait an eternity?
How long...

Phil Hogg
Phil embraced his disability when he acquired it, 
And took up the disability sport of para-triathlon, 
Where you swim, cycle and race a set distance:
He broke his back in 1991 in a cycling incident. 

His nickname at school was Oggy, he was cool, 
And is...

To a Lunatic Reluctant To Clear Out
As donkeys unwilling to leave the green pastures they graze in
Never let one force them rearwards into their stable by chin
Respectfully but would rather enter headlong eagerly,
So did you desire as a fool the last nail in your coffin.

You imbecile, and your partners, shall sure...

A Theatrical Nose Dive
This just in, we are long drawn out drab sentences of our breath,
trying to base a topic off epiphany's languid scry, waiting on osmosis to spark a nerve.

Crinkled pages, termites gnawing on pencils, saw dust.
Failed improvs to deliver colloquial precedence, un performed characters with ventriloquist...

May We Always Create Together
Might we return to clear, flawful epitomes of our past,
where feelings bloomed into unoccupied realities,
worlds where we roamed, explored, traversed in our seditious verse…

Where conviction engraved our rivals’ lips with lightning bolts of silver, 
raiding their muddled hills with the chaos of our creations,
daring to...

HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY


Let’s imagine the world without women
Life may certainly cease, big chasm to all men
Children may derail on paths, no guidance
Young ladies’ modesty may not be enhanced.

Who’re the most supportive and loving wives?
Who’re the most caring mothers?
Who’re good and helpful friends?
Who’re the sweetest daughters...

Premium Member Butterflies of Beauty
The icy cocoon of winter gives way to spring
 As flowers bloom with fragrant song
 Oh what colorful melodies they bring
 As butterflies flutter on delicate wings

 A butterfly with yellow wings
 Meanders where the lilacs sing
 Elegant wings in hues of green
 Dance in...

Premium Member Ostentatiousness
Always unfold to reform,
Constantly matter: fluctuate, fail, and change,
Holy mills and enduring foundries,
A release of epitomes is occurring. 

I disclose that it is either you or I,
Or any known or unknown lady, gentleman, or state,
We are viewed as secure, wealthy, artistic,
However, roughly increase epitomes. 

The...

On Lemmings, Chickens, and Things

Across the Tundra, lemmings race
To the cliff, then over the face.

The prevailing theory laments
That this is not mass hysteria
But miscalculated judgment
In migratory behaviour.

And I watch my neighbours hoarding
Lest they should find themselves wanting;
Epitomes of ascendancy
Clipped to animistic qualities.
Flailing arms scurry to...

Ego Gold
Ego Gold

All the accoutrements
Bolster self-images
Polished epitomes of self-aggrandisement
Glittering gold possessions
Are the necessities
Of self importance

Makes me smile
For this puddle shallows
Can be stepped over
So easily

A golden bangle
Appeases this living vacancy
Expresses wealth so readily
All its solidity
Materiality
Reflects in its shinning
Empty

Defined heart by plastic
Fantastic advert
Of slick rolling machinery
Means nothing to...

Premium Member Epitome
I encountered a revered sage,
exploring the globe's tones and rage,
the sweeps of craft and culture, charm, and sight,
to typically collect epitomes. 

fasten your jeer, he urged,
hours, days, fragments, and parts are gone,
given in surplus as a pioneer for songs and gates,
that of epitomes.

always a bleak...
