Long Forbode Poems

Disability, Illness and Fundamentalism

My brother died of Cystic Fibrosis, 
When I was twelve and he fourteen, 
It took away his ambitions, 
To study at Oxford - the pipe organ’s steam. 

I understand being born with...

Juniper blended with the richness of Mohagany 
as the well soaped Maidens accompliced 
in the impness of Dawn.
A strong coffee poulticed a hint of Cinnamon, 
and Clove prepared expectations. 
The morning fog was lifting her...

I'm caught between my heart 
and my feelings
the insanes logic slowly revealing 
the battlefield drenched with mistakes 
made
not nearly enough the price to be paid

a calming word,
transformed
a harming world 
endured

a storm is drifting and quick...

We arrived with expectations of triumph
There were agonies, desperations and tears
Coloring the hills with melancholy shades
Erasing the imaginings of soldier’s anguish
Embracing loss from the heights of passion
Where worries win and misery invites pain
To grasp the...

Lines reign rectangular beyond widely 
sombre dour density of inhabitants 
Living rendered responsible behind wisely 
secure doors definitely insure us

Neighbours harbour unfamiliar stories
Measureless textures hold untapped instruction
Sectioned protected fences forbode inquiry 
Composite dismissed in driveway's...

The Strid

Get rid of the Strid with its seething torrent trapped amid the caves
In downward spiral coursing through a web of underwater stone
Oh that the river would have carved a safer way away from occulted...

Deposited, held in Amazon's Adonis arms
    Hidden inhospitably stashed, kite shadow 
    Curled furtive, stairway stupefied windshield
    Hallucinations lag languished in amusement

Held to expectation cast by citizens
Mirror assures return of gilded grins
Ballroom brag pats his back
Dancer has handshakes lubricated
Dignitaries' approval demonstrated

Slide through sludge of embellishing
Climbing supply sets steep trajectory
Chainmail armour can't crack
Schedule transferred into twenty four
Long...

 Unfaceable Indeed 

I used to think you'd forever hide
In the shadows of your failure
I used to think you'd let them chide
Your heart, for it wasn't pure
Stained by failure you forever denied
A fear so great...

We journeyed the trail
Rain forbode
Just up the road
Picked flowers along the way
We created a colourful bouquet
Two bluejays flew by
They sang to say hi
Detailed feathers right on through
God's harmonious mix of white and blue
Blessed rain drops...

I am to write a happy poem for a change
To enjoy the sunshine, not the rain
Going to try to be like others smiling
Enjoy some time, ignorant in bliss

Today I ignore what is wrong in the...

Slotted rocks allotted in a stacked wall of stone
Greeted me gray as smoke, carved statue honed
Halted my walk among sun snuck tall trunk home
Flatly reminded my psyche I'd arrived here alone 

For beyond its forbode,...

If mortal fantasies Are inspired by our imagination
Then our world of walls Is God's creation If we fall
To the ends of being And the Earth is yet What we're seeing
Then how can our delusions Whether...

A little known fact, one eerie night in this lovely city
The Omen was filmed, 'tis a pity

For I cannot pass the cathedral and appreciate it's beauty
Without thinking of Damien on his devilish duty

Ahead, lies a dark road,
One where a curse has been bestowed,
Where the darkest clouds have been forbode,
Where everything's been throwed.

A road meant to pave
for a brighter tomorrow,
But everything you gave
Repaid with sorrow.
Always the sun sets...
