Best Fizzed Poems

To ourselves alone both had the place
and we dropped to our knees face to face
so close our breath mingled
our nerves and skin tingled
no credit card would fit through the space

her eyes wide in anticipation
her chest heaved with such expectation
a look pleading, needy
my face just plain...

Wrested from my writing by a drone
which signified that I was not alone
in its black and yellow jumper it had come
fat and furry, bigger than my thumb
it cruised around the room in lazy eights
before it worked itself into a state
against the window wings fizzed on...

Cells and fibres exploding, consumptive thirst! Lip vibrate
A leaf trembling in dry enegry of summer's sizzling heat
Come turn to the modern oasis, the city's teeming spring

We came like pilgrims to a holy place, or children drawn
To village well, or city hydrant spewing, and through a...

I remember the first day well,
with your glorious bright red hair you burst into the room
like a struck match,and everyone's face lit up.
Model, comedienne, everyone's favourite Auntie, crush,
paramour in dreams, happiness in stilettos, all bundled into one
like a Swiss Army Knife.
Watching you smile was like...

We have scarce put our lips 
to a drink of sparkle,
through years of wishes that 
fizzed, only to fizzle.

No cork missile has exclaimed 
into our ceiling’s muted white,
trailing bottled-up yearnings
a triumph has given flight.

Rarely has a foam-clad genie
danced high with a splash of hair,
sprung by...

We've worn out yet another Anno Domini. 
We're twelve months - if not wiser - surely older. 
You call it a relationship, this boulder 
which hangs about me like a Shi'ite's bomb, and he, 
at least, can choose his cut-off point. From shoulder 
to knee,...

Sometimes it's not for me to always speak
Things that have pressed and pressured me
I believe
By gracefully spilling this rhyme
In time this time a creatively piece
Will form and grant me what is needed
Like cop with no license and driver given  ticket
Like a light that stopped...

The night sky is a vibrant green with a yellow haze,
Ever since the dropping of the bombs there is no more blue for us to gaze.

The fields lay barren, no crops can they produce, it’s like a dessert waste,
Water is tainted with mercury and chromium...

Braced to fight tough for triumph 
         Stockpiled testosterone
         Fizzed bicarb in her bloodstream 
         Sucked bitterness alone

All that was holy died in resplendence.
  kerbstones bit gutters and gutters sucked road,
black and white zebra stripes buried by snowflakes,
  wires fizzed and snapped as their cups overflowed.

Cars lay abandoned, the milk float down-charged,
  four-by-four mega trucks grounded and still,
seagulls kept...

I wasn't ready for it when it hit. 
Pathetic, self-absorbed, wallowing in grief, 
plaiting the threads of self-disgust and wit, 
I toyed with tragic sonnets for relief. 

The night was hot. The cleft of Guadalin 
crammed air, weighed down with jasmine, hard to breathe, 
like...

It was a younger time,
a clunky age
a dial-up decade.

Not knowing why
or why he should not,
he sent out needy signals
into the vast unseen
seeking worlds
populated with only females.

Many were drawn into his orbit
many failed to respond.

Eventually a divorced lady from
the fabled city of Doncaster
seemed willing
to be drawn...

sent you a perfumed letter
came back stamped, return to sender
I'm de-fizzed like a soda gone flat
baby, what's up with that?

sent you a heart on facebook
trying to find a brand new hook
ignored and turned down flat
baby, what's up with that?

sent you a smiley face
instant message, got...

The Fallen and the Angel

The droplets from the sky
Landed on her wounded shin
That pierced through her shivering body
Like a needle intruding her skin
The scarlet eyes of hers
Peeked through her saggy blindfold
All people turned into a stone
Once they saw the bloody orb
The snakes on her head...

Taken sideways, swept as a web strung spider
Sand sugar legged staggered specimen lured by weightless
            Drifters soon to be lifted by unruly tide's violent 
Fears ditched for the squall enthrall of ocean fizzed caress
