kiss -
your silken skin gleams opaline
bathed in Luna's soft wash of cornflower - like a
porcelain Madonna by Michelangelo
conjured to life by the magic
of moonlight
your eyes open just long enough to
affix mine, and affirm I'm in a...

Echoes of the Angel's Fallen
Invocation to the Muse
From the gleaming skin of life’s underbelly,
sin unreconciled, formed from Nephilim seed,
fleet footed jokers mask pawns into flight;
To the epistle of the Most High.
For in the beginning, the true and only...

The number that died
I used to slit my arms open like I was peeling fruit—careful, slow, watching the skin give way like wet paper. The box cutter blade was dull, sticky from God knows what—maybe dried glue, maybe...

The Beast of the Cave
When I was young, and adventure routine,
With excitement and newness still unforeseen
I was eager to spread my wings to the world
And seek more adventures as those wings unfurled
Within my long travels I happened to meet
Two...

I. Sighting
I saw you
through refracted light-
a prism of chance
splitting ordinary into spectrum.

Elegiac Lyric
All That Was Sparta
Our lusty voice was in the tramp of narrow, winding,
Scree-littered, deep-rutted roads;
Ravens, uttering guttural croaks, slow-wheeling above

The Giant of Lisbellaw
Stood I there, that last day,
On an iron bridge...
An aqueduct by design,
Where, looking dreamily out over
The Ernes Lower Lough,
My compressed shadow
Momentarily paused -
To contently recline:
Amidst coy Junes radiant beams
of sweet benign!
All was stilled,...

The Night Before Christmas By Edgar Allan Poe
On the night before Christmas, alone in my house,
Sorrow gnawed at my soul, like a ravenous mouse.
Entombed in my blankets, I struggled to sleep,
Ready to snap if I counted more sheep.
I rose at the...

Macabiloquent Mastery
As I ascend the podium, a predator of piquant pontifications, my eyes ravage the assemblage of adversaries, their countenances a canvas of consternation and morbid fascination. The atmosphere is heavy with the miasma of malignant...

The Watcher
Into the woods we ventured, where darkness began to encircle us,
Their ancient murmurs mingling with the forest’s ominous chorus.
A chilling breeze, as if the very breath of the woods sighed,
Veiled in tempestuous clouds, the stars...

The Smell of Fear - Collaboration
Alien talk I can’t understand
A Pifflewig performed a handstand
He verbalised through his ass
Gross putrid wind he did pass
Like many blokes throughout the land!
I farted, perhaps it was fear
Foul wind was expelled from my rear
The pifflewig...

Born to Rage
I woke with blood in my mouth
and no memory
of the scab that sealed the rasure.
I’m cat-spitting
dog-growling
peregrine-divebombing
rooster-flogging
badger-flipping
hornet-stinging
wolverine-ripping mad.
I fired the sun for showing up late
cursed the fridge light until
yogurt soured in terror.
God called
I let it ring...

The Inevitability of Happiness
Today,
there are no rubber ducks
or mother's marigold skirts
to hide behind
as we once did.
In their place,
lurking dark and hoary,
a bathtub mist
updrafts thick with loose spores,
and mildew veins
sprawling
behind caulked-over creases.
The day,
shrinking away heavy with time,
as a body
sagging
into
water.
Even...
