like the wings of long-dead...

any of it, at my convenience
Will take its sweet time

many a year ago.
Her figure was trim, her hair was neat,
with ringlets tied up in a bow.
And many a farmer would leave his plough,
the turkeys and chickens, and even...

To guide me to my rest.

As I nestle to my nest.

Polar BearsSymphonic sirens serenade me from afar;
distinctive, delectable scents tickle and tantalise:
my senses awash with anticipation
as, finally, I lay eyes on my prey.
Slowly and surreptitiously,
I draw ever closer to my quarry.
Prancing and playing, oblivious to the...

Clever InsanityIt’s another day, yes, another day
Another day to watch my cronies wandering around
meandering around aimlessly, flippantly like

One Speaks AloudSoul stripped.
Flesh ripped.
Hope lost.
Time moves on not heeding the cost.
Hurt buried aside in the ditch.
Anger flares like a flip of the switch.
Fist tenses,

Fingers pawing at the line of life,
White with streaks...
