Silk Subterfuge
...An idiosyncratic apothecary,
neo pop corollas line its grove;
The price and results may vary;
Heinous hues hang extraordinary,
the bourgeoise see a treasure trove;
An idiosyncratic apothecary;...

In just a second you can feel the hit
Hanging midair is a time of glee
Adrenaline rush with teeth a’grit
Grasping his precious jewels

The Tiny Bat
...A small bat was flying in my house
circling over the bed.
With a pole and a boxing glove
I struck it to the floor.
Rabies shots we would get
while the docs cracked open it's head.

The Chase
...No words to capture
elusive love.
Chased,
with boxing glove
laced to hand.
Attempt to catch
a feathered dove;
make a lasting stand.
Stalk
whispered wind
in noon-day traffic.

Hate
...Hate
In civilized quarters, an outrageous obscenity:
Unwashed, perishing pant
And, for real, a dismaying insanity,
When a hater heatedly rants
At his subject of unusual dislike,
Whom he would’v...

Monkey Man and Tabby Cat
...Monkey Man found in his perpetual boring bachelor flat
A darling tiny yellow spotted domesticated tabby cat.
The thing was mewing, and needed some milk.
Her coat was smooth, just a tad bit courser...

This Needs To Be Said

Just as in real life, some poets have the art of wearing masks of friendship.
You will know, when they stop commenting to all your works.

Sanctuary
...A can of coke and a good book to read
Sitting in the sunshine embracing my greed
The sun's beaming rays piercing my skin
Microwaving my internal organs from within
My sanctuary from daily life...

Damned Fate
...Mom knew long before I did
that I never made this bid
Proud and did not leave it under lid
She loved and never got rid
Her only son, her gift from above
God sent to her, with all His love

He Lay Down Defeated By Lover
...He was tough, he’d been raised to be big, fit and strong,
To hide any hurt, pain or fear.
He’d prepared for this fight, bottling his feelings,
Living an unemotional atmosphere.
Then the time...

Boxing Gloves and Dead Sea Scrolls
...Dark thoughts twitching on a nightstand.
Wrinkled -bloated-bloodied.
Like an ancient boxing glove.
Powerless-broken-longshot.
A dead sea scroll- smoldering.
In the chambers of a burned-out he...

I, Icon
...They spied me in the sky, dropping bombs of love
on Ferguson, and bitchy women's rooms; and rednecks'
shooting range was next, the blooded boxing glove.
They spotted me in Tel-aviv and also in...

Hand Grown In Thyme
...Hand Grown In Thyme.
On Brummie Sea and Burnley oak,
In bearded wood and clove
I hidey in this Mutton cloth
That strangles like a choke.
Lampooned upon this Ferris wheel,
A chuckle for a ho...

I Whispered Lightly As a Rose
...I whispered lightly as a rose
To grease my oily bagpipe,
And sniffing with her hairy nose
A dwarf flew into sight.
‘Pull down your flabby chopsticks, man.’
She ordered like a waiter,
And lowe...

How Much Longer Will It Go On

or breath, towards his death he did not look
as though he had the time to duck and dive
he was taught to live or die by the book
Bruised and battere...
