Mating of the Rich and Famous
I once walked into my backyard
and found two slugs mating in a bucket
I had just learned how slugs go about mating,
or trust-I would have been rightly confused
Here hangs a long line of slime, almost...

Five Fraught Faces
Buried beneath blood-shot baby doll eyes
where drowns dark truths dwelling empty despair,
finds five fraught faces from false idol lies
clinging cold-coffins caused by cruel affair;
Saddled by sorrow seen in mother’s stare,
washed while...

Look - a Shooting Star
Look! A Shooting Star!
Let me honor your presence (dot chalked on ‘blacksky’),
as my poems (muse offers) make light of faint hope
that one day you’ll look skyward and grok my light too,
though the distance stays greater...

The Poet's Task
A poet is a man with words,
And words a weapon are.
His words are sharply stropped and so
He makes them travel far.
He makes them cover many miles,
Emotive ones at that,
Digest those miles, absorbs their...

Winter's Final Gasp
Porcelain shroud slowly falls;
hapless Mother trapped inside.
For the next twelve weeks at least,
her time she’ll be forced to bide.
Returning from his exile,
Uncle Jack’s come out to play.
Across our world, it’s been said:
free to have his...

The Upbeat...
Before there was a word,
there was a loneliness
within the pin pricked night.
Waves of vibrations, sound,
coalescent’s gestate.
Planets were birthed with souls.
There was only the soul
and a longing for words,
synapses gestating
wavelengths of loneliness,
the aching lack of...

ENDWORD
What intimacy is its cause,perhaps
an immaculate conception of words;
too swift to comprehend,see or
recognise.The moment is there
and then is not.Gone with the wind
the seed of idea remains, to
germinate and gestate,fanned by a
mental fragrance of elation.Slowly
self-transcending a...

Led Astray
The pregnant moon has led a man astray.
His life, and others too, he’ll devastate.
The plane trip of a fool begins today.
A lunacy infection in him lay
simmering, his heart to penetrate.
The pregnant moon has led a...

Harbored Thoughts
Words have power,
Don't forget,
What comes out of your mouth,
Is what you're gonna get.
If you're filled with anger,
Contempt and unrest,
You must purge it and kill it.
This is no jest.
If you speak anger,
Hate and revenge,
This type of...

I Wait
Shadows of yesterday eclipse reality,
but in hope lies my dreams;
mired in doubt and frustration, I'm left waiting.
Waiting for love's elusive touch, indulging in pleasures
that are never enough; always wanting more,
and as fledgling feelings flex
impatient wings;...

Cairns Edge
The beach gathers its dead. Thousands of horseshoe crabs
come home on the full moon’s tide. Their courting dances,
scrawled with claw and carapace in the wet sand, leave
with the ghost hands of nursing Autumn wave.

Faking Feelings
Faking feelings is what you do best,
undermining hope with false feelings.
And deceived by lust's many guises,
increased your vulnerability.
Fantasy divides reality
into darkening shades of despair.
And feeling all alone, you struggle,
believing that no one even cares.
Anger fuels...

The Birthing
Sometimes it feels
as if I am carrying it as a child in its womb.
It is yet unformed,
but it has searching plasmid eyes

It is unnamed and dispersed as threads and...

Breaks my mind of the
Concrete that it sits in
Delivering myself a headache that

Gestate into a creation of write that is
Hidden among...

Sometimes
Sometimes I prefer the storm,
When chaos wants to be the norm,
The eye will pass and come again,
But still cannot contain the wind...
Sometimes I prefer the hate,
That the closest circulate,
Till envy wants to be my friend,
