Three man sized ‘mice’ and Stanley Dann stood gawping at the screens
Churchill muttered, “I don’t want to tell you what this means.”
Crocket shook his head...

The Fallen and the Angel

The droplets from the sky
Landed on her wounded shin
That pierced through her shivering body
Like a needle intruding her skin
The scarlet eyes of hers
Peeked through her saggy blindfold
All people turned into a...

Sometimes it's not for me to always speak
Things that have pressed and pressured me
I believe
By gracefully spilling this rhyme
In time this time a creatively piece
Will form and grant me what is needed
Like cop with no...

I remember the first day well,
with your glorious bright red hair you burst into the room
like a struck match,and everyone's face lit up.
Model, comedienne, everyone's favourite Auntie, crush,
paramour in dreams, happiness in stilettos, all bundled...

All that was holy died in resplendence.
  kerbstones bit gutters and gutters sucked road,
black and white zebra stripes buried by snowflakes,
  wires fizzed and snapped as their cups overflowed.

Cars lay abandoned, the milk...

Wrested from my writing by a drone
which signified that I was not alone
in its black and yellow jumper it had come
fat and furry, bigger than my thumb
it cruised around the room in lazy eights
before it...

The night sky is a vibrant green with a yellow haze,
Ever since the dropping of the bombs there is no more blue for us to gaze.

The fields lay barren, no crops can they produce, it’s...

Taken sideways, swept as a web strung spider
Sand sugar legged staggered specimen lured by weightless
            Drifters soon to be lifted by unruly tide's violent...

I wasn't ready for it when it hit. 
Pathetic, self-absorbed, wallowing in grief, 
plaiting the threads of self-disgust and wit, 
I toyed with tragic sonnets for relief. 

The night was hot. The cleft of Guadalin...

Braced to fight tough for triumph 
         Stockpiled testosterone
         Fizzed bicarb in her bloodstream

Cells and fibres exploding, consumptive thirst! Lip vibrate
A leaf trembling in dry enegry of summer's sizzling heat
Come turn to the modern oasis, the city's teeming spring

We came like pilgrims to a holy place, or children...

We have scarce put our lips 
to a drink of sparkle,
through years of wishes that 
fizzed, only to fizzle.

No cork missile has exclaimed 
into our ceiling’s muted white,
trailing bottled-up yearnings
a triumph has given flight.

Rarely has...

It was a younger time,
a clunky age
a dial-up decade.

Not knowing why
or why he should not,
he sent out needy signals
into the vast unseen
seeking worlds
populated with only females.

Many were drawn into his orbit
many failed to respond.

Eventually a...

For there was the place
Under an angelic moon sky
There was the face
Of love and at me it smiled

The evening did chill
The wind from the north
But eyes that burned life filled me with warmth

A smile for...

To ourselves alone both had the place
and we dropped to our knees face to face
so close our breath mingled
our nerves and skin tingled
no credit card would fit through the space

her eyes wide in anticipation
her chest...

We've worn out yet another Anno Domini. 
We're twelve months - if not wiser - surely older. 
You call it a relationship, this boulder 
which hangs about me like a Shi'ite's bomb, and he,

It was kind of late,
the town had gone to sleep
while some had woke up real early.

Nothing bustled, nothing moved quickly,
the moon had faded into a dark graveyard.
Micky's was open,
blue and yellow neon
fizzed static in the...

sent you a perfumed letter
came back stamped, return to sender
I'm de-fizzed like a soda gone flat
baby, what's up with that?

sent you a heart on facebook
trying to find a brand new hook
ignored and turned down flat
baby,...

On the Rug with Death,
two beers in hand
(though no one here drinks)
we laugh, his lifespan
a joke still fizzed. My breath

ignites wars, lulls drivers
to sleep and builds bridges 
for his guests. What idle past-
-times you worship,...

I am lost in the dark again.
Can you help me find my way,
and the pieces that fell away
in my stupor?

First was brightness; it dimmed
Until, at last,
it fizzed out with no fanfare
and rolled down an empty...
