Long Lacklustre Poems

“Beloved Femme Fatale”


Musk and Neroli satin skin spoons
Naked feet ‘neath The Pillars of Petra
She towers majestic above you, colours your grey skies
You are worshipping her on your knees
What does it matter, anymore? Before your eyes,...

The chilled musky air torments the aging Saxon stone;
whistling through the aisles, the sound reverberating
as it sweeps along the colonnade.
Moonlight penetrates ancient glass stained windows,
initiating reflected shadows, as an innocent mind pulsates tempestuously,
he who was...

"The Haunting"

What happened 
was a crime
in more ways 
than one

who can understand 
the mind of a recidivist
twisted, calculating
in this story, there is 
more than one, 

the night 
of a thousand 
cutting knives
the turn of the...

I am the environmentalist in love with wine,
my shoulders carry and reside in the cutting edge side of life,
the establishment craves to be the human race
while I stroll the memories of “Sailor fields”
amongst ancient Jurassic...

The City

Outside the city where the pomegranates grow
In a land where they never see rain or snow
And where the sun only shines every other day
Is where it’s always the twenty-fifth of May.
We find a people...

What a pathetic spectacle she makes –
The wordless poet, sunk in her stupor of defeated uninspired misery
She sits alone in the darkness,
Encompassed in her imprisoning spotlight of gloom
Surrounded by a million lights of happy souls
Their...

So you think you’ve reached the age of maturity
Even old enough to draw your old age security?
Not so fast! Listen to what I have to say.
Everyone hopes they will reach that day,
Certainly it’s expected, that...

Forget-Me-Nots

Across the field, I trampled a path
When I held back and marveled to see,
Near the babbling brook beneath the trees,
A sea of blue of scorpion grass:
Tiny blooms asway in waves of glee,
Of forget-me-nots, and thirsty...

Prattle And Witter 

Midst rumours 
     and rustlings 
And hastily 
     scribbled notes, 
Upheavals 
     and bustlings 
And endless

And You, My Dear, Will Fade 

Ah, there you are,
How radiant you appear, 
Lovers seem to be distant
As sycophants stand too near,
And you glide, as if on air,
I breathe your every move, 
Omnipresent yet undefined...

Life is grim, 
perpetually dim,
Don’t know what’s missing, 
It belongs within,
Everything I eat, 
tastes the same, 
Drinking no better, 
insipid and plain,

Can’t be bothered, 
to answer the door,
Lost all interest,
in peace and gore,
Walking upstairs, 
Brings...

Whence misty eye's are in the 
shortest of supply on tepid day's

Pop the cork on that vintage
finest magnum brut champagne
you we're saving for a special
occasion

And raise a toast to everyone and
everything you are going to...

The canvas I had painted bright and vivid once upon a time,
Fade and wore out by the wind and the rain.
And thus I started hating the canvas I could not protect.
The canvas that had once...

When you cried for me, heart 
Fallen on calloused knees as I supplicated 
Blood thrumming in my ears 
yet running cold to my finger tips 
Face distorted, eyes tightly shut 
but in my mind's eye...

Dewdrops stream down boisterous 
children’s freckle-strewn mischievous dials,
as they dash in cartoon costume faux denim
apparel amidst the pale yellow sunlight glare.
Marble stone button twiddle on a blue
rinse wrinkle t-shirt,
Sumptuous  ice cream raspberry blobs
tantalise the...

Beautiful game, crazy game that draws maximum adrenalin
From hypnotized, soccer crazy minds
Glued to television screens to gobble spills and thrills from Russia with hopes lean
Driven to the brink of despair behind Venetian blinds 

Betting, arguing,...

Bulky ute voyeur selects sleek sporty stalion
    Driving by, supersedes her oversized sedan
    Wide wheel arches have Porche comparison
    Voracious engine's enthuse easily enchants

Pummelled intensity, underneath we face her force
Exhaled wide eyed in white, witness rainforest exhibit
Splashed grins enfold a third tongue, waterfall
Her glistening christening combines us in sublime


Drilled by severity, her embrace as strong as yours
Like waterfall's...

No Love Lyrics 

No resting arms
Nor bosom smitten, 
Where conflict harms
Once shy, twice bitten,
A virgin riled 
Soon does goad
The wrath of a child 
As cannons reload.

Hidden in history,
A languid heart,
Conflicts in mystery 
As lover's depart,
Two...

My muse is on fire, she burns at the stake 
  guilty of poetasting, and glaring mistakes
  Inferior rhymes with old Monoku outtakes 
  blaze all around her, as embers are raked...

Tearfully tired of all these bruised efforts,
Broken promises, fractured smiles
Wincing with the venom you spat, you flicked,
You scalded me with, pretentious poison…

The tears on the window reflect in my eyes,
As I bite back a cry,...

The parking lot

 No seagulls are flying high today, sitting on roofs and shrieking
 to each other, and sometimes there is a clash of wings
There are no ships at anchorage in the bay waiting for...

Only within lacklustre eyes
does the saddest one shout,
while sorrowful tears run in grimy profusion.
Oh God! The clarity of our beginning
is more prevalent than ever,
if we take the word ‘Prejudice’
out of the dictionary, will it disappear?
We...

Absurdity walked this path of a whorish lane,
Dauntingly decked in a dark seductive  garb
Egregiously seeks the thrones by craftiness,  
Nebulous transverse for the wayfaring man. 
Illusions of a well worn thigh concealed with...

Sipping her tea without  any visible relish,
Her crumpled bag of shopping at her tired feet,
Alone she sits in the cafe  and isolatedly apart
Stranded in her  sorrowful sea of sadness
Only to raise momentarily...
