The heavens shimmer 
as billowy linen-white gossamer clouds slip away, as soft blossoms open for the sun.

Mystical wings of Eden brush sunset colors; 
caress the rose petal; touch the lustrous cream bisque glossed onto an...

The First Murder
"Both of you son's of mine,
    Bring me the fruit and wine!"
Like a cheetah stalking it's prey,
   My brother and I raced outside.
To please our father's heart,

 The bard, the muse, the low versifier,
 each the times bemoan;
 stressed by compassion's grasp,
 ingrained word sown life disowns;
 individualist rare, previews minds mood,
 frigid wills he does discern;
 insurrection, a thought...

POINTING TO THE PROBLEMS 
  {Bivouacs}

Beat down with legal fees
Tied up with taxes;
Tripped up with mortgages;
Ripped off with student loans
Insulted with insurance
Telephone updates.

Out of date opts,
New upgrade rates;
Food on the down-low
Carrots in the closet;
Conjugating...

Catastrophic horrors inflict the grounds of every existing continent.
Mass killings and unimaginable tortures have become a means of
consumption. A taste of gut wrenching,hellish afflictions for the new
face of this confused,chaotic world.
The gathering has long begun...

"Dear Jess, when I first met you,
We were halfway through Year Nine,
You had enormous hair and pigtails
And a grin as big as mine,

We were friends from that day onwards,
And had so many good times
That some...

I’M LIKE AN INSTANT POT

I’m like an Instant Pot.

We’re both big and bold.
Heavier than we should be
Fussier than we need be
Neither of us should ever 
Sit on the kitchen counter 
When not in use.

Our metallic...

Cold-blooded, 
I poison my precious poem 
with the tip of my quivering quill 
to quench the venomous quest 
of my crystal inkpot!

Burying the edited lexis from my perished poetry
in the grisly graveyard of
dusty Dictionaries and...

Drifting face across fulfilled lives, how many lies do I see inside? 
I see without visual, drowning in endeavours.  
I hear within silence, the blinding numbness adhere to my veins. 

The silence enriches my...

Baking scones has been
The absolute bane of my life
Fifty-five years I’ve spent
Its caused me nothing but strife 

Up and down the country
You’ll find them in any café
Soft, light and beautifully risen
The highlight of any display

A bunch of dry lime leaves like schoolkids runs 
across the street. Be careful, do not slip
on crispy morning frost. I see someone’s
bike on its side, its owner rubs his hip.

Are you okay? He is...

Outside the city where the pomegranates grow
is a dusty hovel where love conquers all.
Nothing but love, no food, together they know
they will die before the pomegranates fall.

Dying for food to give strength so they can...

All around us
It’s an epidemic
Man-induced plague

It’s a conspiracy
To hook people
To non food foods
Eats that should be
Technically inedible

Anything to grease the wheel
Of factories and consumerism
Nothing grown naturally
Nothing from a farm
Heavens no

Promoting foods whipped up
From powders and...

Become Inedible

When I waved my marvelous magic wand
What was to appear, big breasts made out of silicon;
Checked her out and found something incredible;
Both of her big boobs had become inedible. 

Red, Red robin will boob,...

I simply stared into space and 
on solitary inquisition
and
if asked, pronounced her name
with deliberation
One syllable after another
in slow unconscious seduction
She might have woven 
each strand of her hair
so I can forever have an inedible constraint
Every...

Sunshine on lips which have starved for a drop
of attention from forces impenetrably hot
Holding the hand of invention's conception

Belly filled full...

The Layer Cake

We are a skewed birthday cake,
generations of lopsided layers
baked badly by ancestors
of fervent but defective intent,
teetering atop the stale and dried out.

The layers descend into the past,
inedible and mostly forgotten
while we the temporary...

I cook but no one eats.
I bring my offerings to pot-lucks.
But no one wants to be lucky.
I take it home, without a spoonful gone.

I make surprise casseroles.
They are a glorious testament
To everything we have had...

I am 10p away from sitting outside
the station wrapped in a sleeping bag

but some of them are
Pricks up your ears
