Best Sian Poems

Thirty years since Mrs Meckin 

Said "Sian, who are y' markin'?"

on the hockey field


Wind chillin'

Legs freezin'

Knuckles reddenin'

Clutchin' the rubber handle of my Mum's
old hockey stick



Always third from last to be chosen for The Team

"No, not again, please don't let it happen again"

So humiliatin'

Bro always gets...

"50 Words for Poe: Rasputin"



The Rat was buried in the Pet Cemetery
His name was Rasputin

She had been fond of him for some time
feeding him morsels 
every now and again
tickling his whiskers occasionally -
until he decided to look inside 
her lingerie drawer, 
that one drawer 
within...

I am encapsulated by your love
Dramatized uncleaned in a soap opera
A World Apart, yet we have The Best of Everything
You are my Guiding Light
You are my Love of Life
Awaiting The Brighter Day
This I must certainly say
With In The Secret Storm
I submitted rest assured
We together Search...

Within cries decreed with shadows mourning
Mortal sin translucent through eyes scorning
Brewing storms amidst silent atramental abyss
Accruing waves breathed loves lingering kiss

Minds melting transfixed thru ravaging ruins
Blinds building walls amongst cerebral fluids
Demonic seeds with remorseful ruling hands
Chronic dementia within bloodstained sands

Temptations afloat amidst sinking verbal voids
Frustrations...

Mom had six children
when she moved far from the nest
to a remote area without relatives or friends
Her lifestyle suddenly changed
from urban to rustic
Playing the part she did
of Eva Gabor in Green Acres
but in real life

Between setting up a new home
laundry mending ironing 
cooking baking cleaning
grocery...

Wall

Within the confinement my thoughts her tears sweep through my marrows

As her lips intertwine within the shadow of my webs...

The thoughts of staying longer in her cascading emotions motioned my elements to rise 
beyond her hyperbolic hips...

As the pulsating echoes from her temple stooped in...

“Souls and Bodies We’ll Lay Down”

Ominous clouds have 
Invaded my soul;
Thrust swords into my heart.

Darker than the midnight air.
Stars gone forever more.
Bloodied hands in my dreams.

I dream not of tranquility
But of lightning and thunder
Pain and hunger.

I pray for your peace
Your hope and honor.
For blue skies...

A-frican leopard can't change its spots, 
I-n terms of man's character; 
L-earning to transform is tough, 
Y-es, trying hard doesn't matter.

M-onday November twenty-seventh
I-s in the nature's thoughts; 
R-earranging the person is difficult, 
A-sian leopard can't change its
S-pots....

this netherworld
this hospice of broken souls
this travesty of triumph’s trauma
blank pages
telling stories
sightless readers
sifting the ash
of scorched lives
charred character
seeking solace
			 on the edge
					   of night

She had an almost insane love of life,
Her attitude exuded abject fairness,
She was the abominably busy butcher’s wife,
Cancer treatments turned her suddenly quite hairless.
 
Her love of God and Savior was her guiding light.
No matter how she suffered, optimism shone through.
The secret storm she held...

I lost the love of my life
In the secret storm
of our romance

Looking for a guiding light
For our love teeters on the 
Edge of night

As the world turns
I will search for love tomorrow
Among the dark shadows of despair
