What could become of the dream she got?
Keeps coming back to hunting eyes' jot
Viewing afar her possible lot
Maybe or not would be as plot
Or probably weird off frank...

I am getting old now, I can only turn over
They can’t get me to run, but I not all done.
My valves are leaking, I often misfire
My fuel gauge will sputter my heart will flutter
I go...

Nothing is running on time anymore,
everything seems to be leaving late
And arriving even later too
What’s wrong with the grandfather clock,
working quirky is the quartz LED watch
Digital punctuality is ten nanoseconds off ...
losing time at this...

And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: 
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, 
and their spears into pruninghooks: 
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they...

Dear Virgo. 
They ask you why you stand in the morning sun for so long, 
to which you reply “It feels like a daylight loon singing her mournful song." 
They ask you why you watch...

Accounts of my days of happiness or rage are on this blank page,
hinted goals and affirmations are blueprinted on this blank page,
look and you shall find...

Come over here and give me a hug

He speaks for the uprooted.
A man of sorts, a twiggy Buddha.
He who interprets
the conferences of frogs,
the unpublished works
of kestrels and voles.

He’s an advocate for the underbelly
of a microbial heaven, for every kind
of uncouth animalcule.

Ancient is...

after going all night off the map to dawn
on the newly opened Metaphysical Gridway
I am awakened by the black buzz of flies
and a persistent hiss of escaping steam
in my chest a hole where the piston...

Mr. Ford, why did you make 
The cars which cause such deep heartache?...

From MOTs to punctured tyre,
Was that a gun, or did I misfire?

Parking tickets, yellow lines;
Wheelclamps, countless crushing fines;

Insurance costs, CCTV
Congestion Charge for you...

I should just let you go
But it feels a little like
Holding your beautiful face under the water
Watching your reflection flicker into your last breath


I should just
Summon suitcases to pack up
Our summer beach trip
When your hair...

The hunger within
She spoiled herself with fame and insecurity
But when its stripped its empty. 
No its not promiscuity.

The list goes on
For men of meantime shelters
For boys of tussled sheets and misdemeanor

She's aware he's awfully chivalrous for carrying such casual intent
While there's subconscious recognition he's a blend of canny ways
Mixed with filthy desire 

Leaving her plenty of room for discontent
His finicky facade that this helpless girl...

Works with fire 
He is also the fire
Claims to be higher
Than the almighty Father 
Has everyone's lustful desire 
Designed the blissful gracious supplier 
Get you going crazy higher
To getting things with...

Though often called by lovers
for my wicked deadly aim
when I sight with an arrow
and I chant the whispered name.

Sometimes, the shot gets tangled.
I don’t like to ricochet
off candidates unlikely
of responsiveness in play.

I’m sorry though... for...

Pranks.The jokes in our lives
that hides in disguise
Separating elderly from youth

If taken seriously 
it could end in a fatality
Don't worry if it's a misconception
Pranks are an art of deception

It wears a cloak of lies
Only seen...

This is all so sudden, 
winds of change advanced 
scudding clouds, soon 
their pre-eminence ruled 
my horizon. 

And, I thought, but 
I love you, surely 
you can see that; 
a moment ago, I 
held you....

JUSTICE FEVER 

The Heads have their own desire
Seat round and conspire 
Greed rekindle the fire
Never will tire
Until office retire

Injustice is a red wire
Sucks like vampire
In this crazy empire
Justice we aspire
That conspiracy may backfire

We are faced...

I
stand here
traumatized,
quaking in fear,
for I’ve realized
the intruder will know
I’m home, seeing my half-done
e-mail and still-steaming cocoa.
Should I burst from this closet and run?
Too late! Someone is in the bedroom.
I hear two faint clicks: the light...

not wanting to harm the birds
I could have used my own flower pouch
little balls inside to keep me strong

Every misfire began as a bloom
dreams and desires whisked their blossoms
and fueled...

The meander of twilight descent, 
hard-boiled at the daylight close, 
belief and desire impotently fail, 
misfire the charge of the lost. 
Life has no yen to relent, 
savage dwelling on worries and woes, 
a message...
