Long Equalled Poems

"Exits Exist"



prophecies materialised
bad dreams of tomorrow
arrived vaporising today

the higher ones 
prepared their exit plans
they thought they were gods

but they were just
children playing 
at being man

yet everywhere 
Beethoven’s symphonies...

Greek mythological
drama flourishes,
nee thrives within
noggin of yours truly
gods and goddesses
sporting Hellenic origins

purportedly cavort
higgledy-piggledy
rampantly running ragged
ruminative raconteur
resultant rueful end product

shadow boxing doppelganger nemesis
fetus in fetu maintaining stranglehold
choking ability to...

But today we are against each other,

Her lips so red and sumptuous they yearned to be kissed,

Her figure sculptured in perfect curves

What sweeter thought than this

The first warm days accompanied

By a brand new exciting romance

Like the ones written about in books

In love poems

That lived in the hearts of young people

Eyes closed, he leans back into comfort,
The lulled background music is his pillow.
Weary head swaying to the sound of the song,
The music massages the very knots of his life.

A single candles flickers, casting shadows,
It's eerie...

So, you have remained.
From those who had crossed
the land of the comparison,
you had taken their heads off
without them to unsheathe their swords
And it seems that time
