Long Afters Poems

You stir up trouble
My fears begins to double
I’m sick of lending my ears to your lies
Oh boy, how tiiiiime surely flies
It’s time to shine on…
I’m not the one to look upon
I’m the scar
He’s the star
I’m...

Who loved to love me baby

And he had no problem showing me in every way possible

The big, bad wolf wears a suit of gray with a snide smile.
Standing upright, he believes himself to be debonaire
as he takes his comb from his breast pocket and slicks back his hair.

without you pressing my nerves
may I ask you 'what is this life?'
intricately untangle every fibre

ask me 'what is life?'
sit with me,...

In the name of God,
myriads of innocents have been slain.
In a time of war, 
God takes sides, they enthusiastically proclaim.
But,
What effect does this teaching have,
on all the masses?
Those pawns in the game,
found among all the...

Each of us is born the main persona
in the narrative of his or her own life.
Through ever-changing atmosphere,

Jam roly poly, treacle sponge
And sticky toffee pudding head the top of my list
But apple pie, rhubarb crumble
Or a decent cheesecake are hard to resist

Banana splits, eclairs or brownies
Dumplings, nougat, cheese board or mousse
Crème brûlée....

It vibes in harmonics broadband, a musical language universal,
Echoing across the heights divides, falling as a thunderstorms,
Raw force of spiritual power, descending from the heavens above,
The angels do yield, surrendering the gift of music unto...

I made mistakes from the very start,
And now I must pay for those, with damage to my heart
Stupid fantasies led me to believe you were 'the one'
I really want you to make some girl happy,...

It was a night like no other night
And it came out of nowhere
Our eyes locked on each other
And started the flames of passion

We move across the dance floor
And we know what we wanted
We wanted each...

On Devil’s Night

There once was a devil queen  on Whispering Lane
Mean and cunning her crew driven insane
For millenniums hurling malice 
Content in her palace
Casting a malevolent muse throughout her reign

The King no longer amused...

Let’s hear three cheers for the decade of disinfectant!
Clean out your insides with cheap vodka!
Blow your brains out with Nirvana!
Your breath reeking of teen spirits,

Does weed count as a vegetable?

You’re getting your five a day,
Candyman...

Let me keep day dreaming
for I do my best thinking
when I'm not blinking
Like a child's toy my thoughts are spinning 
I float amongst the Stars
Big Dipper drinking
even when it feels like I'm sinking
Other worlds are...

She didn’t have a fairytale life 
With happily ever afters
Or special tea parties
with looney Mad Hatters

She grew up imagining 
Prince Charming on a white horse
She was a pretend Sleeping Beauty
who’s path took a different course

There are three distinct stages in any relationship that stand out undeniably.
Three phases of any connection we make with our pets, friends and family.

There is the time before we were blessed to know them…before they...

Imagine, for this night, you are the queen of Fairy Tale land.
I, too, am a prince, from Make-Believe kingdom.

From beyond our cocooned proximity,
the night shimmers in and thickens to a silken thread of moonlight

Dark make up smeared across my face
Silence except for the voices echoing through my mind
Alone in the loneliest place
There's pieces of me I need to find

Feel the rain in my hair

Acts of contrition, on knees if I recount
Beatitudes, eight, sermon on the mount
Charity given, is blessings received
Dalai Lama, a Buddhist deity
Ecumenism, it understands and unites
Fascism erodes individual rights
Gaia, Greek goddess of our mother earth
Heresy, one's...

I use to believe in dreams, love, and laughter.
As my journey through life went on and on
All my beliefs deminished, they were gone
One day I...
