A Halloween Tale
  By Lee Bragan 

Darkness creeps across the land,
The midnight hour is close at hand.
A night of evil awaits us all
On whom will Death choose to call?
There’s no place to hide till...

An institution for the average man and also for the Toff
The gun blasts, the gates fly open. They’re off. 
Eight magnificent Steeds already to win the race.
Trampling all before them, galloping at full pace.

The TFL Shaman- A Journey Home.

Raindrops trickle down the misty train windows,
Obscuring views of coloured graffiti,
Works of passion sprayed on to embankment walls.
Bright colours splattered onto neglected structures,
Wild Statements of art,
Arising from the urban ashes...

Young Lena wandering under a covered sky~

Alone I'm walking not far from my destroyed home.
It's nearly Christmas where I live, but Santa Claus won't be here this year.
It doesn' t matter too much,
because I don't...

My Irish eyes
They cry for you
All through the night
And day for you
For times we had
And those never been
For what I’ve seen
And what could not be
Oh love
My heart
It breaks apart
I can not bare 
This acid dart
The...

.
Bleeding ripe woman,
wet naked stone;
honey rock dries--
fast star bone.
Dead memories change
just like laid,
wants fly open--
soul sky parade.
Sea moon dreams,
daddy heard stars--
known little face;
death drives cars.

Rainy days wash--
brick looking mud,
blank reality strings
dry midsummer blood.
Dog's child minds--

My mind set to overdrive
my mindset erratic
it all comes too easy now
as I make blatant transgressions

For I am the anti-God
simply don't give a nod
to the rest of creation
in an against everything nation

release of my stranglehold

Stealth warfare they call it
The way they are killing me
O not by starvation
That won't do again when so many now
A shrinking roll of profit must skim for more
My hunger, my greed
Is how they assigned my...

You Can Hear

tonight you can heed to the bat of ill repute
sincerely takes a good campaign you reek a jellow smile,
prefer a baked potato of the Mexico....
you can hear the owl with the mask in...

Here Comes The Rain
by Cate Rock

Here comes the rain again.
It washes down like a flood,
Here comes the hope again,
Watch out for the slippery mud,

Let me run again,
Run far away,
Let my wings fly open,
I pray...

Let my...

CURIO NUN

placed in the palm of my hand,
a wee little nun with praying hands.
this tiny sculpture hugged
my heart, at once filled my eyes
with salty tears.

certainly my Aunt
leans on my shoulder
as my cousin presents
this precious gift.

Auntie’s...

Why do poets take such pains to 
create something so hard to understand?
Do they purposely try to cover deep truths
with big words and fancy phrases?
Why not just say what they want us to know
and be...

The Seasoned Commuter

On The platform for ten to seven
No more trains if I get to heaven
Coffee and paper held in each hand
Bought a new ticket, cost me four grand!
The train is on time, not running...

My heart skips a few beats 
before I realize that I’m not breathing.
Am I dying? I ask myself
but there is no response

Is this the end?
I close my eyes 
It feels so much like falling
much like...

The doors fly open; racing out
Are kindergarteners, one by one.
With beaming grin, each gives a shout
To those who wait when day is done.

It’s mostly, “Mommy!” sometimes “Dad!”
Depending on who’s standing there
But I am thrilled when...

With this rage comes no control
No shadow of a doubt 
No ambition to let it go
No sense of worth
No forgiveness
Only evil thoughts
Only evil voices
Drowning in hurt
Catastrophic to my existence
Entangled in webs of lies
Hidden from the...

Some fly in their jumpsuits,
others are thrown naked
to a place where thoughts are fig leaves.
A few conjugate dots of light
into a body-language.
Many shoot off like toothpaste from a tube,
tugging slinky bodies behind them.
Star charts are...

Shut doors later fly open:
Sometimes do so by a half;
The half is but a token;
Not a large-horned cow; 'Its calf'.

All about' How one wants it',
Still,Man should not dig his pit,
Many dared burying shame
To naked go...
