Manage your Stress … a peeling faded poster boldly declares 
I do get it about advertising campaigns. 
Enough to know that,
‘strategically placed ads’ catching the eye, is huge. 
But this poster...

Reflecting the sunshine & blue Ocean beyond, his eyes twinkle

Powerless I am drawn to him, he is the...

Sunday cockcrow nascent promulgate aural essays reveal,
laissez-faire luscious lustrous buoyant  raptures,
radio behemoth prompt to that untamed erudite fantasist,
me the one possessing rippled rampant penchant,
for titanic exploit extraordinaire beyond dimension heftiness,
 a stimulant patently innocuous...

A colourful array of falsehoods
Intricately designed disguises 
Fools, fortunes, phantoms
Masks clinging on their faces
 Lives hidden away by an illusory veils
Veils that cannot be removed
Cannot be seen
Secrets tucked away in their eyes
Each a pair of...

beyond our time and place a clumsy confusion of Primordials dwell
  they play with notions, forming bubbles in child-like wonder
  they meld and morph, shaping membranes which burst asunder
  falling under the...

Standing round the ritual fire, white smoke then black entwinning higher, she takes the
book up from the floor, the spell to open heavens door,

This chant kept secret for so long, in her evil hands did...

Generations of the entire world.. Once abided by a force fed conditioning, 
An indoctrination so deep, so vast and yet so hidden..,

All I remember is rampant rain and a loud bang.

As dawn distilled through a canopy of palm trees,
glimpses of light reflected like emeralds on leaves.
I felt blessed in its warm golden glow,
as I awoke under...

When Gabriella was 5 there was a terrifying storm.
She woke up and screamed as loud as she could.
No-one answered so she ran into her parent’s bedroom.
Her Mother and Father were hiding under the bed.
Gabriella crawled...

Remember me
Your beloved mother

In the low hours

Whenever you are feeling weak 
And have lowered
Your powerful barriers

For it's then I can only be truly seen

Remember me
As that tsunami of furious fire

That once reenergized you
In dark years

When...

Before in The Great In-Between

About a beautiful dame called Corrie.
Her allurement enraptured all men folk,

I take in every detail
His sea	
His sky
His movement 
I hear the sounds
Pervade the air
As if myself
As if I’m there
I’m standing back
So much to see
It gently pulls 
I stand within
A bystander 
As...

“Bezirke”



Bit by bit 
we build our walls
strict little districts
to pin our minds on
and keep the paper tigers out

Political Romantics
counting sheep 
and numbers 
we walk in our sleep
dreaming of doors

Opening inward
externally we are Bezirke
socialised in a...

My Elysee

In the low hours

And have lowered
Your powerful barriers

In those dark years

When you were...

Her complete perfection brought tears to his eyes
Holding her tenderly in his loving arms
Slowly he caressed the magic of her charms.

This was the gift he...

It was the final day at the city -
The Circus prepared for a grand show,
Men gathered in packs and sat
On the chairs in the rows.
Even the Chief Magistrate,
Came to see the show;
With hundreds of police

Up in the attic out of sight, a chest lay undiscovered, it contained the skeletal remains
of Lucy's one time lover,

Her life before had been so hard, her looks a little faded. In desperation Lucy made...

War for our souls

Inexplicable reason crying foul,
Final war for - the soul of man

The ironic scarcity of happiness
Mass contract killing sanctioned, tho allowed

And simply, all, just because
- they can..?

Search for neither limit bound
Across the Earth...

She came to me crying and hurting.

She came to me in a fit of despair.

I saw in her eyes that we'd met long before but I knew that I couldn't have been there.

Right at the edge of the...
