Be warned, that though you might be disturbed by the facts I relate?
They are...

When I stopped Dancing
(new edit, 2022)


I stopped dancing first 
when the screeching screaming voice, 
cut into my small, happy, care-free body 
like a sharp knife cuts into warm butter, 
the accusing words freezing my bones,...

Spawned from the loins that 
Perpetuated the loyal serfs mongrel
Seed:-
These peoples of a conditioned and
"Resigned-To-it-all" breed.
Born into the enveloping tedium
Of interlocking days...Interwoven
With interlocking days -
Victims of stark circumstance
And vague promises unmade.
Gregariously living out their lives
When...

Gazing down along the zealously
Monitored borders of well clipped
Evergreen Privet hedges.
Standing watchful guard over 
Divisions
Re-enforced by concrete posts and
Darkly stained, wooden, wavy-lap 
Fences;
Age-old neighbourly disputes, petty
Grudges and childish jealousies -
Ably demonstrated by various
Patchworks of shabbily...

Through my bloodstream pulsing,
Insidious poison runs rampant.
I open veins willingly for more,
And the hidden addict slams the door.

The insurgents are loose and swelling,
The castle has been breached.
The moat of my memory recedes,
As the hidden addicts...

A Dedication to Leanne, my beloved wife. 

Beyond Belief

Harken,
Heed these words,
They are more than mere sounds,
Trumpeting make-belief ideas,
They will be as rain and sunlight,
To a wilting flower,
Love will heal you,
Beyond all beliefs. 


Words that sound...

To bypass the defences of my heart?
Let harmless acts of kindness, run a course,
Break all barriers, to the tiniest part

With soldiers and horses, and...

A great wall covers me.
Hiding and hindering me.
Speechless, powerless, and helpless I grow.
Too fast, too good to be true.
With no hesitation, not even one minute was wasted.
Swept me out of my comfort zone, like a...

saying how prepared we were walking into battle,
flashes of the combined destruction witness,
tell my young, bruised mind differently,

Startled she curls away

Please
She begs
Please
Youve been but a memory for so long

Why do you breathe down my neck
As soon as my defences fail

He laughs...
