Totally tubular fiction yup,
nevertheless I reflect

The Antics of a Yoyo Thief
Now scores of years 
after botched minor theft penchant 
courtesy security guard
analogous to inquisitorial trenchant
unforgettable verbal lashing

There are things that I don’t mention
But if you look closely
You will see that I am broken and lost

No matter when you see me
If I have a smile...

A Sorry Sight
Woke up this morning feeling fine,
looked in the mirror at this body of mine,
Said to myself, you're such a disgrace,
I can hardly bear to look you in the face.

Get out there, get some exercise,
Said I'm...

Next Chapter
Life is lived as a book, so I’m told
and we live out this story in chapters.
And we even write of the stories we’ve lived
and regale with tales of our adventures.
Our childhood is a myriad of...

Through the Rear View Mirror
You were in the rear view mirror of my life
That one chance encounter to last a lifetime
What a wonderful day it was

Frolicking about the pool two strangers in a foreign land
The ocean waves beckoning us...

My whole life waits, just this moment, the ink still

Unraveling Life
We set up our bivouac of life
by the world's battlefield,
It befits us then 
that we live not in peace
nor die free from strife.

There’s got to be more to life 
than work, marriage and kids,
Life can’t...

Dark Features


Gone where silent days
Escape me. Cry baby.
You never promised me
Light by joy.  Count your
Petunias as opened full. Pine
Away. You can’t have my torch.
Black shed painted blackest.
Sit inside,
Think up a joke.  You filled

Hovering
Hovering, eyes so keen they see
the imprint of DNA run through 
its unsuspecting quarry

Muscles ache, the wait unbearable.
Each crystallised moment of time is
a chapter, wrapped around a scented

I see demons 
I see ghosts 
Staring at me from the bedposts 
Gargoyles of grotesquery 
Statues of misanthropy 
The Prince of darkness has come for me

I can smell the sulfur...

thinking his thoughts,
feeling as he always does,
negotiating with his desires. 

Inherently selfish, he’s nonetheless 
not quite dull enough
to constantly overdose on himself 
without feeling claustrophobic. 

Boredom makes...

The Universe
Limitless as it plays in its macro structure,
On the nano level breaking new theories,
Is the big Bang an illusion of infinite design;
Reality, an illusions of consciousness to our existence.
