Long Gun barrel Poems

The next day. It was iffy everybody 
Was tense. The Hakim family was
Distrustful of The Black China Men. 
Early morning 8 am Friday. 
Damali rose from his slumber 
First followed by DJ Desharah
And Amadeus. 
They...

The date
July Twenty Eight
The year, 1914
The War which we feared 
It began, something we could not foresee
This date, still haunters me
To this very day
Those bewailing screams
And those traumatic scenes
Words to do not to justify 
The...

Three years have been a lifetime, 
In a place unfathomable-

Met with a gun barrel to the scalp,
Scars cover his back, tortured for freedom,
  Punished for a woman he loves who stands proud with her...

"Night Flight"

the sky is 
an open eye
blue as the
Orpheus ocean 

clear in the 
shallows' grit
naivety irritates it 
birthing hard gems

it calls in 
from beneath 
the undertow 
a new dawn  

Morpheus deep
bipolar colours 
unrecognisable
hues and...

When she and her cousin had whispered secrets at the mosque

About undying love and first kisses before being stung by a bee

Memory, the annihilation loop in darkness haunts…
this night…a hammer 
old, gun barrel cold
weight of a baby’s head, less a hair
gripping death, tempered fire punching steam 
subtle, dangerous, good in a raucous romp  
popping rivets...

I stand within the village,
the village without a name.
It's proxy without willing,
to give the homeless a place to stay.

Thus unfettered,
...undeterred,
they built a village,
in the woods.

Every existence needs a home,
...yet the unwanted
always struggle.
They claw uphill,
white flag...

I was double aged in a gun barrel
Thirty silver pieces 
was gone in sixty trigger seconds

White smoke,
blue flame
Crimson puddles of scarlet pain

Crooked arch shot fear darts
from bent bow lips,
that appeared straight as an arrow

Caged number...

As the moon smiles upside down her face 
turning on the box so to speak ill news
All one hears the devil's hate
wars and killings
Then switching of the poison 
finding such pure peace 
birds of all...

There's nothing like the gold,
the glory of finishing first.
You drink the streams of victory,

Once upon a midnight dreary,
Endless informercials makin' me weary...
Over Billy Mays' droning, screeching voice,

There is space, an orangey sort of large space,
That makes one wonder where his teeth had gone.
Stuck on the elm, pulled out by the dentist,
Swallowed by the hollow sun.
And on it a piece of ivory,...
