Long Car horn Poems

6. Softly she sits upon my knee.
I doze and drift as the radio squeaks
Of sunspots and the honeybee.
The cab wind whistles and creeks.
I sense monstrous, hidden beings
Attempting to open forbidden portals
To hideous, evil, inhuman fiends,
Elder...

pleading mother to help stage their show,
on our verandah with stony floor,
tattered clothes, hungry child, wife on tow!

MEA CULPA


If it is dirty, yours truly.
A child is crying, what did I do?
A cloud blocks the sun, must be my attitude.

decided on departure from my world door,
to beyond and explore.

At every hill and every bend
I'm going fast to the end
road of destruction

In this sudden moment
I’ve a simple wish to walk about spreading love

He gives her a pink carnation
It's the first prom she'll ever attend

my heads about to burst 
cant take no more

of that broken barn door

Time and its Daughter
I love your face and your face loves itself 
For its perfect nose, green eyes and rosy lips
And your fragrance has a Narcissistic allure.

The way you walk pavements adore you

Red scales glimmering with the potential for death
Its absurd cries of evil shatter empires
Its unjust breath of malice devours lives
