Somewhere On Foot Part Two
“Oh please don’t worry.
I haven’t a heightened sixth sense… about the mint infused lilt here.”

Samson
Joyful music filled the village
when mother’s barren womb gave birth.
Born to end Philistine pillage,
and fill sad, anxious hearts with mirth.
No wine or product of the vine,
should pass your palate when you dine.
No razor...

Incomprehensible inhumane
inquisitorial imp incarnate injudiciously,
ineffably, indescribably inflicted
inxs inexorable insidious injury.
Snake charmer also known
in the underworld as Harvey Specter

and deftly insinuated himself

Trilogy For My Father
IMPRINTS
(Part 1 of Trilogy for My Father)
His shoes by the front door make me cry,
like his glasses resting atop an
unfinished crossword
and his toothbrush in its holder
the bristles still damp.
And I wonder...
Did he brush his teeth...

A Tarnished Man's Soul
Hush the silence, hurt the ignorance,
Hurt in the silence, hushed by your loud heartbeat,
I couldn't fight for you, I wasn't strong enough,
You left me no choice, you pushed me away and pulled someone else close,
Now...

Gateshead Gate - Crash
These steep hills are part of me
Where I learned to ride a bike
And gazed over the industrial haze
And ice-dammed the steep melting streets
So the toy boat couldn’t
Drift out of control downslope.
Now, like snow...

The Great Fish Maui Snared
With canoe and hook of a jawbone
below a great fish Maui snared,
and his brothers half-crazed behaving
leapt and gouged in frenzy craving.

The Namib
If your love was like the Namib;
Mountainous and bare,
Would you dig deep for water?
Would you scour the ridged crevasses there?
For something that moved,
Within and without,
Trying to remove, any and all doubt.
If your love was a...

Shakespeare Never Wrote About Us...
Everywhere I look, I see you. And when I seek respite and close my

within my heart I feel the rambunctious rush of wanderlust

Predilections of the Phallic Beast
Adulterous besieging capstone damnation
exploitation foists groping, heaving
insidiously jerking
knowingly lunges
machinations notoriously nymphomaniacal
officiating penile quests
rapaciously, sadistically
tenaciously, unstoppably
vasocongested wickedness
Xerses yawped zeolously.

What I Did For Art
You want to know its merits?
Very well, then. Daylight slants
deliciously across the boy's
inclined, thoughtful face.
His lace collar, crumpled,
houses valleys of shadow.
Or what about the Water Seller?

Nightmares
Nightmare are dreadful things
They creep into subconscious minds
And tear at sanity's fragile strings
Turning our thoughts to things unkind
I was a teacher of children small
And loved the years I spent with them
But soon after leaving...
