A View From a Window
As dawn unfolds today beyond my fractured windowpane,
a breeze beguiles the ashen drapes. Like snakes they slip aside,
revealing wanton worlds that race and run aground, insane,
immersed in scenes obscene that savants strive to mask and...

Sophistication of sinister online skulduggery
Sophistication of sinister online skulduggery...
lurks within the outer limits of cyberspace,
where dark shadows eclipse edge of night
indistinguishable from the twilight zone.
Within the Internet binary size weavers loom
shuttlecock whizzes (analogous to a bad mitten)
at speed of...

Oh My Golly So Jolly
I never knew that Stonehenge refers to hanging gallows
While solstice gives solace as the sun dial moves forth
Many years of mysteries immortalized for sacred worship
Blue Stones transported from Pembrokeshire
For a giant Cromlech by magic or...

Every once in a while, especially on holidays, I find myself wandering through my memory museum - rattling doors and fishing through those virtual hallways. That’s where I found ‘Father Lucas,’ last night, back from...

Ring a Bell
Tinnitus tinnitus, innocuous by name,
invisible tasteless, sounds pretty lame,
Ears hissing, snakes inside my head,
Growing louder, causing turmoil in bed,
Room’s spinning, feel like getting sick,
Banging kicks off, rhythmically quick.
Tinnitus tinnitus, pneumatic drillers,
incessant maniacal...

Anna Karenina
Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy,
approximately 800 redundant pages
of Kafkaesque scoffing
at relentless banalities of economic and political elitists.
Rather like transcribing often inebriated conversations
within all-night insider celebrations
of a ProPlutocracy Party Convention
Or, sadly, a depressed weed-rant
at the...

A Novel Season
You said, ‘move on’
As it is a new season
This sounds like a Kafkaesque novelty
This is an ungodly form of hypocrisy
Suffused with a boisterous rudeness
Ingratitude can only brings sadness
You forgot about the awesomely beautiful memories
You’re now...

The World Ain'T Seen Superheroes Yet
This is nothing similar to a fairytale
Grossly not the packaging of an unwanted mail
Nothing close to a Kafkaesque display
It is FACT!!! On the head I hit the nail
If you're looking for heroes, don't go that...

There’s a charge against you
Though we can’t say what it is
In time, your list of crimes will be released
Pardon our procedures –
We consider grievances
We’ll clear your good name after you’re deceased
A labyrinth of halls...

I Almost Wrote a Poem
“I need you
and dream of you
while I try to
drink you away”
I almost wrote a poem
that began like this
(many years ago)
to express my
unrequited infatuation
for a certain
beguiling & baffling
woman.
I almost wrote a poem
that rambled on...

DO NOT MISS THE MOON, WHILE COUNTING THE STARS
DO NOT MISS THE MOON, WHILE COUNTING THE STARS
Do not be carried away by the deceit,
Of an oozing chant of a back palm’s stew;
For the meat that source and house it,
Will slip and off it...

Kafkaesque
I ponder whose hands concertina time.
Sometimes my brain wakes up 40 years younger
for a few moments I am vital,
perfectly formed and a smile for every eye.
Other times though, I arrive in the world
already clawing at...

The Path To Self
Oh, now and then I lose my way, could this be true for you as well?
Though dreams suggest a brand-new day, there's something left to tell,
It's not that I put blinders on, forgot old debts...

Study In Kafkaesque
I slowly come to
as light creeps across the floor
and dissolves what I thought
had fallen through
the torn sides of a dream.
Nothing is there but
the scuff marks left
by fleeing ghosts.
Unalterable facts assemble
and lock shut...

Kafkaesque
From that synthetic blossom
Emanate both a swirling silence
And a timeless illusion
Embedded in rustic profusion.
Yet a timeless blossom
To a rustic mind
Signifies no swirling illusion
But from it emerge and emanate
The opposite of a synthetic silence
On this...

In Sandy On a Sundy
In Sandy on a Sund’y
Can’t even buy a pie
The High Street is a ghost town
From some Kafkaesque sci-fi.
Not a single caf is open
No point in asking ‘Why?’
So I’ll just go down
To the Rose and Crown
And...
