A Journey Through My Life
Pin drop,the silence was loud
Hashtag a baby is born, dead gone the mother was
Bang bang,the landlord overthrew 
Loud cries,papa had fled
Nosiy chaos was the start of it all
@JayHeart

I came into the womb like a clout...

Premium Member Glimpse of Heaven
How curious, remote, the pain seemed now
As a fly on the ceiling, she looked down
Her body below in a hospital gown

Incessant beeps emitted by machines
With blips and waves on their monitor screens
She tried to cry...

A Beast of Chirality
I blink my eyes and then the world is gone. 

Open once again to see some peons upon the lawn.

They came to hear the Lion yawn and swipe a wife by dawn.

That's why I keep...

Mythological Blues
Sometimes, when I step on holy land, my skin breathes flame.

The earth is a bouncing betty.
What sun am I, born of war, drowning in blood;
that pools like mercury?
Thunder bolts in the brain,
messages mistranslated.

Lead Cancer

Roman pro-life Pilate politicians
got their abortion trigger finger
on the gun
Sending public notice of more bullet crucifixions,
a Surgeon General quarantine warning:
Lead cancer epidemic is spreading,
pistol pestilence ... 
gunsmoke you best deadly shun
Herodian arms whisperers advise,
to let...

A Mother's Lament
I dream of snowflakes
they are each identical
my mind is frozen

Two-years-old and contorted, monstrously white-eyed, bloody-lipped and snorting,
gasping for air, as in drowning, but there is no welcome, wishing-well's water. 
Do you seek the warm, languid...

Why Would She Do This???
This lie has me torn and scattered.

Torn the mind, and scattered the soul.

Everything suspended, anger unsettled.

Complacent, calm, cool collected.

The question is not the problem, just the answer

These words spoken unhindered, unbridled.

Betrayal, treachery, disloyalty, unfaithful…

Inside the Hilton Hotel With Rats

seeing certain staff...

Misfired To Our Detriment
Wouldn’t marry you if your true colours I knew
But the best of me infatuation took
Thinking all about you I had a clue
Playing by ear the amateur’s rulebook

Taking for granted I had you figured
On the surface...

Once Fukushima Lady Uranium
Madly in love with Hanford Plutonium

Early Blossoms
All England, blinking nervously, is out! 
A little mild spell, much to our surprise, 
has brightened frowsy February skies. 
We sniff the air with nostrils schooled in doubt. 

Baffled by balm, the fruit trees have...
