England - Gleaming In the Distanceacross the Doggerland dogged people trudge
Neanderthals, Heidelbergers...Sapiens, the last ones standing
hairy mammoths, heavy life bearing down
the mighty maw of an ice wall crunches, enforcing southward retreat
remoulding the...

Timeless WombSeed - scattered strewn or downtrodden.
Grain stuck on passive flytrap mucus.
Wild life biomes ripe with open sesame.
Frantic birth pangs stiffen their gestations as green leaf ferments bubble underneath.
Mother of all wombs, diva pulse...

A Furtive, Surreptitious AffairHands touch, accidentally
Short, deep glances by me, as she looks the other away
Be sure not to get caught
Although I expect she’s doing the same
We can’t do this, can we?
No-one will know, no-one gets hurt, isn’t...

Pangs of Loneliness At the Grande Elevator CompanyThe city doesn’t need any elevators
Or escalators or anything to push people up
There are no clouds in this brightened city
no bourgeoisie emancipation, no atypical beauty
silicon bosoms out on the overstretched skies
mechanical tirades of the undiluted...

Collection of Covid 19 PoemsForbidden Fruit
Wild bat hanging from a tree
Wings curled around furry body.
Sleeping soundly, nose twitches
Net captured, frightened creature.
Hot steaming Chinese market
Exotic animals everywhere.
Herbal medicine, cultural difference
Healing, treatments for illnesses.
One moment in time.
Eaten the forbidden fruit
Coughing,...

Cheery 2CHEERY 2
Weathered wood bench
Old as us two;
Hardy as teak
~~~~~~~~~
On this trip
Make ends meet;
Garage sales
~~~~~~~~~
Joy seeds enough
No need for stuff;
Just call the bluff
~~~~~~~~~
Just two old souls
In brief posture;
Human nature knows
~~~~~~~~~
Cheery in grief
Joy fills the brief;
Small talk...

Close EnoughCloser to the clouds
Soaring through the soft misty flocks of vapour
Higher
Touching the overstretched never ending horizons
Stronger
Closer to the clouds
Reaching for the elusive galaxy scattered with stars

Outside my window, birds perched on window panes

Dimples
Sit still, XXri Brook
Dimples, smile, light
Too much for the heavy flight
Of a daydream, happening
Across from my mother’s anxious look
Is my reason in a book?
Maybe another book
Buried in my room
Me, no doors, nor nook
Dimples overstretched,...

Bio
LostI feel my head expanding
Exploding…
In trenches of darkness
That I do not see
Nor understand
I feel frustrations
Cover me like thorny vines
Yet I cannot make them out
I feel suffocated
Overstretched…
And compressed
I want to scream…
At what…
For what…
If only I should...
