Long Hade Poems

she is a trap of joy for a mark
to those tunes tapping on line
stepping out in her black

BUT THINGS WERE

HEART THOUGH I

much like the heartbeat of a dream 
He watched as she climbed to the top,
and when she stopped to look around,  he found himself spell-bound -

She never...

The Beggar

Willy they called him
William was his name
Everyone thought
It was Mexico from where he came

HE roamed on the streets
On the streets of London
Walked with dignity
A Smile on his face

HE never asked for money
Yet he was...

Is it right to give up?
Giving up the things that you hade
Made promise?
Things that you looked forward
In the near future,
Things that you had planed already,

But, during in the
Midst of doing the things for that plan,

Needles in my veins,
Bullets through my skull,
Whisky in my blood,
Tears amongst  my eyes,
Scars black-out my wrists,
Murder floats through my mind,
What’s more to miss, love hope, misery, or just a simple kiss ,

Amidst the danger encroaching

Mirrors the alligator’s razors

Securely entrenched in mud waiting

A boa slides into the deep...

A table for two served yet again

Another tango about to be untangled

Periodic busts of...

To him who went down the hade and hell
To remove the...

I was walking to the pub at sundown
when I reach my destination the last pink rays
on the sky was vanishing,
a promise of a sunny tomorrow.
On the road, I was overtaken...

Open eyes     
To start again
With cold embrace
One living being
Still beats a heart
In state of trance
No voice is heard
Outside the doors
Quiet remains
Shuffle about
Day's of night 
Who goes there?
Unseen unheard
Image devours
This...

I miss the way we used to play together
forever, we played in the changing weather
however, we still gave love forever,
whenever, we saw each other, we smiled 
up bright, the light, came down on us at...

no we were'nt like the stars
