The Palace Guardiennes
The Palace Guardiennes were the sultan’s delight,
resplendent in their tight uniforms
of scarlet and magenta silks,
embroidered with golden flowers,
with sterling silver scimitars in
ruby studded scabbards
hanging off lovely hips,
and boots and belts of finest faun-skin
and helmets topped...

(jack) Griffin

The breeze is nice and brisk,
The children play in the sand,
Towers and parapets with moat.
I am surprised that no one has noticed
My footprints in the sand.
Leaving the moving acres of tan...

of shadowed purpose
they rattle the parapets of my flesh

stark reality that lays like shards of
tea-stained saucers before me …
an iniquitous army of intent
poised to scale the ramparts of
all I’ve bargained and built

with embers wild cavorting in the glare

Amy's Blanket Fort
Your castle has a moat

the change of rule.

Your castle has a drawbridge

Reflecting the sunrise in golden hues
I ride along the canyon to the sound of leather
Creaking softly in the tranquil mountain air
Sweat and horse, with layers of dust

Idyll (Idyl)
Freedom of Restriction
Deflected, crushed by the social retardation,
Not loved, ‘cos he’s altogether unaccepting,
Active learning the robot’s mouth action,
So he can't contextualise, there’s no blessing.
Neither me nor him meet and we sweep by,
There’s no...

Watchers in the Gloom
To that shadowed city round
Come those that are sorrow bound
In their multitudes alas
Through a Terminus so vast
For a city grim enabling
Their eternal laboring
From the parapets looking down
Cold and timid souls abound
To shed their tears...

Daddy Never Came Home
Daddy never came home,
he kissed mommy goodbye
and hugged sister and I
as he flew out the door
and went to work in a tower
that reached the sky with power.

Allocation, O ally?
Resources put where?
In the heads of those who fly?

Wrath of wind, thy cyclone?
It really must blow in.

Crossroads
We drive breakneck over hot roads.
Churches, big as cathedrals, rocket
from pocket villages.
Castillo's cast their campanile on the baking earth.
The Great Mosque of Cordoba,
the green Alhambra shades us

Insomnia
Sick lungs whispering secrets untold

Strolling parapets on the walls
Impatiently waiting and growing tall
In darkening...

The glittering gold and shimmering crystal of palatial proportions
Scarlet red carpets, as if the blood itself were loosed
