Long Agonised Poems

[Continued from ‘Terror Bugs: Part 4 - A Freezer Mice Adventure’]

A water cannon screeched around the corner on two wheels
Four and twenty Terror Bugs were nipping at its heels
Their acid blistered paint work but it...

The drummer beats slowly, the drummer beats loud
     as he beats of humanity wrapped in a shroud.

Well he beats of the rape and the killing of war
     and the mind mangling sorrow we blithely ignore
          and...

Ease the easiest way that penetrates its veins!
Breathe easy to the brightest heartbeat that gives birth to life.
Bring back sensation from within to begin!
Brave back the...

When men of fame do meet discord,
They find a way to prove their point.
Then it is, they think of the art,
And call to play artists of doom.
The artists too, who know their art,
Would play the...

~Honeymoon Capers~
The big day arrived and we couldn’t wait
We were old fashioned and there was no horse after the gate
The wedding went off with nary a hitch
A few gate crashers but we didn’t b i...

Weeping Ash
Mourn for me tonight, Weeping Ash;
Break my heart and all my hopes crash.
Let your gnarled knuckles crack and creak;
Let your contorted mouth still shriek
Silently. 

Come under my dark canopy
In the storm’s hidden harmony.
My dancing...

When dulled down shock painfully became
a pickaxe ache behind shimmering eyes,
the bludgeoning screen hammered memory cells
repeatedly, over and over.
Tears exploded, soft rain dampened flame,
the grumbling dust cloud debris disguised
broken hearts bursting in agonised swells
searching for...

Slow motion agonised gravel crunch

Picks and flicks sharp stones under tyres

Glinted handle clicked forward introduces

Arresting view of her beauty polished 

Soft and ready, yet bristled. This is her day 

Ivory plumes escape cancels rear wheel...

A Drop In The Ocean

Life had given me no parachute for what was and if it had then
silken sulk would have terminally fallen with ignition on impact
Grounded and rock bottom ‘zero zilch kaput’ for only...

Clicked did my camera on a  Myena eagerly feeding its young one.
Fascinated, my heart pulsed warmly on this nature’s wonderful creation,  
I turned back in muse but my smile was wiped with a...

damned patrons' victims proved helpless agonised
ministers agonised inside wombs, starlit shields of beheaded
offenders glassfuls of blood, elegant marks indelible, bricks in moonlit lorn
pits, gods' unstable tolerance         ...

Her funeral held earlier that day,
in her coffin she held her mobile phone,
she told him that she wanted it that way
and now he crept off up to bed alone.
He tossed and turned, his was a...

There once lived a great 
man, 
That redeemed the hopes 
of all human.
He gave up everything, 
For us to have something.
He was rejected, 
For us to be accepted.
He was stressed, 
For us to be blessed.
He...

I held out my hands
To touch yours
And you pulled me
Closer and closer to you
Only to shove me
Into Hell's raging fires!

I burned a part of myself
Before realising
That life is not meant for me
Since it has to...

When she finally closed the curtain, even though transparent, 
Sensations of dusky satin, gravitational pull bearing down, 
Flattening disbelief, burgeoning spread of gleaming poison, 
Sucked the wind from my lungs that I might drown.

I saw her down the street

Her brown eyes arresting me

I stood startled; She hid behind

Her pig-tail was a giveaway

Her handprint on the wall;

a consolation of innocence

I walked to her;

She looked down

at her muddy feet,peeping toenails

My...

Two Icy Islands

Cracks appear in the ice
Become wider but we don’t cross
We each urge the other to jump
To join the other on their slab of ice
I motion to you, you motion to me
Neither jump. Our...

Weeping Ash Song
My dancing leaves eddy and swirl
And my elegant arms unfurl.

Come under my dark canopy
In the storm’s hidden harmony.

The laughter of children resound,
Echoes lost in the coming cloud.

Come where the still air is cool
And...

I still see
our memory of the first time we met
your blue eyes full of glit
Like the blue eyes alit.

I still see
our memory of the first night we spent together
led lights blazing,
blazing like the summer sun.

Death was prowling
from funeral to funeral.
No shadow will be spared today.

I am not ready yet for the final curtain.
Bullets have left some clocks
ticking in the pockets of time.

I shall call the leader
who is hiding behind...

Hey, the filthy way of the dejected 
Those who walk through you are rejected 
You take them to the world of disrespected 
You make them meet the unexpected. 

Hey, the senseless brutal words 
The tacky...

I cast my vision with a dark lens 
uncapped and honed 
and set upon 
lovers I was seeing. 
I held the tears in brimming ducts 
restrained and damned, 
by echelons 
of almost equal being. 
I...
