Long Pins and needles Poems

I don’t feel good at this
I’m feeling so hopeless
I need some happiness
I’m feeling dread instead
I’ve been consuming sorrowful bread
I’ve been feeling rather dead

I want to repent of being sinful
I want to repent of being resentful

Lost souls deepen black holes…
Broken cries…muted forever lies back and forth on ya mind…
Tears of peroxide burns your polluted dilated eyes…
True hermit of life…no one by ya side…your alone and ya mind is gone…
Only thing...

Remember all the Wise Men on their knees upon your yacht?
With orphans on their backs they’d crawled (with others that they’d brought)
Through rubble on the highway sands and residues of Lot.
They came from severed cities...

Welcome to a zombie apocalypse are dizzy...

Walking in the trees one day
I watched the weather change
A figure approached
White as a ghost, with a hand behind his back
Walking at angles odd to me
And humming a tune of sorrow
Trekking to a meadow of...

These red flames of the burning sun, 
remind me of my everlasting hell.

My skin melts and falls rotten,

Tormented daily by thoughts of you, 
like fire its burning inside my...

African youth on the
Pins and needles, 
Pains...huh!
So painful ...Yooh!. 
African youth shout 
Shout loudly... Eh!

Crying in exposing  the power hunger, 
Which is called selfishness in tongue 
Of genial. 

Some people out there are hungry for...

I reel my hands back and lay them to rest on my lap.
A tingling sensation seeps into my awareness,
drips from my shoulders,
and flows downwards onto my bent arms,
leaving a trail of bumps in its wake....

Worthless like a toy
No sign of recognition 
 I’m Depressed…oh boy!

Here it goes again – 
That same hurt, beating me up
I’m missin’ someone . . .

She isn’t worthless
He’s valuable in my life 
No one’s NOT...

Living within shadows - 
darker than a clouded night. 
I'd lay down with my demons- 
so that we didn't have to fight. 
Engulfed me and my spirit-
as if it were just up for grabs.

I like the way her hands fly through the air, animating, orchestrating a ballad of colourful characters, each word coupled with a swoop or sway or swing or charade.
I like...

Here I am

a voodoo doll

made from rags

of what is left

filled with organic lavnder

of what once was

squashed between two palms

without a lifeline


I  am here

whilst you are there

beneath our waxing moon

embroidering my heart

with mourning cross-stitch


'I don't...

It started with the freezing rain,
the curse of winter time,
turning all into slick black glass
on every road you find.

Then came on all the pelting sleet,
pins and needles outside,
you can hear it as it hits home,
adding...

Left out in the cold
To walk alone
The broken seams of reality
Would you miss me if I were gone
Or was I never good enough
Mmm I’ll take the shame
Drown me in...

Lil' ol' Artie the Ant,
Mosin' down the ant trail,
With his three pairs of shoes,
Happened upon Freddy,
That wasn't good news...
See ants gotta' follow a specific trail,
They can't branch off on their own,
And Freddy was blocking the...

Isolating myself.
I open up.
Start climbing off the bottom.
Without a dollar in my pocket.

Losing track of myself.
Down on my luck.
All my thoughts are racing away.
How could I be stuck?

I felt like I was making progress,
Till I...

Spider Fires

When we are beaten on not once, 
but over a course of years, 
a thing happens that occurs...
and sometimes but not always, 
goes away. 
Most times, 
we do not live long enough, 
for that...
