Long Exfoliated Poems

The mask, with eyes brighter than the most brilliant star, 
Reflecting the sunshine & blue Ocean beyond, his eyes twinkle 
He smiles, I am dazzled, hypnotised...almost 
Powerless I am drawn to him, he is the...

EXFOLIATION, I AM      
 
In my advanced age am I but 
       The castoff--remnants

Exfoliated Eddie is an eagle eyed spy
He likes hot Hoxton coffee with his cold Shepherd’s Pie
Crazy for a Sheffield lass, a Steel City shrew
Her conversation’s retro but her attitude is new.

Ghost town after dark;
Weekend constellations

Blank myth created
To express a fond wish;

Attempt to bracket him or wander on

Waiting with pattern disrupted, fear tinged
On crops offering fluffy promises
Closing chapter rips lustre from bronze wings

Night was drowsy and opiated,
Hollow moon suspended,exfoliated
Over the spiraled staircases,
Blood drips chaotic from anemic faces. 
I can hear the dismal cacophony..
Girls, gaunt cheeks, bones scrawny
wobbling in perpetual hysteria,
Clock of apocalypse ticks, Mamma mia!

Life is a...
