Dawns Angels
In the shower of dawn's
Slow daylight, kissed by
Angels locks, there came
A wave of bird sounds, 
Then barking crafty fox

And I in nature’s orchestra,
Amid the fusty scores, the
Sound of waking voices,
Pushed slow through leafy doors	

Then carried these across
The plain and back by echoes 
March, not stopped...

Premium Member Lake
In the depths of Mt Rainier fire stirred,
The earth around trembled in dire anger,
As the fiery spirit Elf wandered
In the depths of the spouting volcano
Exuding thick feculent, fusty smells,
And from the volcano's top, exuded
Ash, smoke, flaming rocks and burning lava.

Dare a human female refuse Elf?
Not...

Bread Box
I fell asleep in a bread box
filled with musty, fusty rocks
rye and wheat
        whole-grained loaves
pumpernickel
        from the village stoves

once hot;
          now cold

the...

My Caveat
Walking, shrouded by the echt loneliness of reality,
I lost my gaze in the uniformity of chaos.
Souls in slumber, malinger around with an ever dying goal in sciamachy,
Rebellious against the fallacy within our Ethos.

As I stepped across these vast edacity of desires,
I alleviate myself from the...

The Day the World Fell Apart
It was unseasonably
warm for Winter
sun shone bright
cool breeze blowing
but not even cold
and I was
just walking
along, not knowing
the world, as we knew it
was about to come apart
Then that piercing scream
ripped through my heart
heart pounding and
pumping, feet
pounding, running
suddenly cold all over
despite warm sunshine
tingling numbness tracing up
my spine,...

The Wailing Knight
The night was listening
To the silent drums of chilling
Mightyness draging so slow by 
decades, cumbersome so lowly
Once in heavy daylight! Musty
thought brain thou hold! fusty
look now flesh prefer..........
We wail at poor last close
of the no more opening eye
we wail and wail to the distance
so that...

Premium Member There's a Bloke In This Cafe Slapping His Face
he's been there doing that for 
about twenty minutes

it's both palms on both 
face pastries 

he was here the other day 
laptop in front of him

bopping and biffing
like in a boat race

chronic stress? enervation?
or giving the epidermis

something to think about
sod retinoids and clarins 

maybe the...

A Promise To a Thuja (2) (For Femi)
Like a jelly fish, I quake
It came as the biggest blow 
With a volcanic outburst
That almost broke my heart into ashes

I sneeze while shivering
My mouth aches, as my ribs quiver
Do I hear you well ma?
I echoed within and aloud at once

It was 12.48am of a...

Final Moments
In his final moments
 He clutched his sheet in fear
 Staring at the wallpaper
 He knows his time is near
 
The unshaded lightbulb
 The dust around the room
 Black mould in the windowsill
 Adding to the gloom
 
Loved ones stand around him
 For their tearful...

Sing Me Your Childhood Dreams
She would undream her burdens, her life's 
Map of drudgery; all those years
She is hardened enough to hold tears;

Her hand never slackened by the
Fusty, hard stone of labour and love-hunger;
From the shelter of her face she unveils her sorrows:

Would you for fairness sake break
The yoke...

On the Mountain
There gathered some undaunted faithfuls
Yelling with desperacy without moderacy
Screaming to be heard by the Son of Man
Not satisfied until they hear from the 
The Son of Mary the wife of a Joseph 

Hundreds of unwavering believers
With one soul to be delivered
From the shackles of the...

Caught In the Lens
The ebony night crawls 
With its webbed feet
On my distressed mind,
To peel off my fusty clothes,
From my fatigued body, 
Stinking me like the putrescence 
Of my time, and of my life,  
Feels me then 
As light as feather
Floating up into the azure.

Before my inner...

Caroline
Caroline stepped up to face the world,
Her pink-grey face grew more than slightly pale,
Her hands clasped a microphone of intimidating scale,
Oh how they wanted her to sing. 

The audience with sat with expectation unfurled
But seemed so far away, so hard to hold,
Stale and fusty like...
