Long Plastering Poems

“This will come to an end now,” Rian demanded!  Joulupukki nudged Dyndoeth and glanced at the crystals in each corner of the ceiling. He saw the elf begin to tense.  He also noticed...

As I look, the world moves so oddly
 home feeling like a story
and there's no tourniquet for my heart
 
No, it's open,
breathing air like lungs
a deep hole, a night slogged by weary eyes
under a sickly...

Father of a broken child, he was lost to a false trial.
Its hard to see through iron bars, so he'd rather admire her from the stars.

She's tied to her memories with a titanium chain.
His actions...

Constantly seeking out validation,
You don’t have to know me,
But I wanna be your favourite.
I want you to like me so much, I hate it.

Revving Up Life

Half asleep by my window
watching swirling snow
outside - memories drift
like a slide show, pictures
of my youth so long ago,
almost as real to me today
as the events were then.

Snippets of childhood – 
I am...

It slips in at night. Stealthy and low at first.
A few flakes pick up speed as the first low howl can be heard.
Wind howls against the house, branches scratching at the window like a cat...

I'm a little bit of a chancer
Like driving to the wrong place, whilst ill to deliver training on something I read yesterday and claiming I'm on location (I kinda felt like Phil from Groundhog Day...)

Anyone can say they’re a mother
It takes more to be a mum
And all the desirable qualities
Are shown through the things that you’ve done

From changing nappies to holding my hand
Teaching me to walk and helping me...

The Great Sun Saturating,

Our DNA activating.

Twisting,

Translating.

Sifting,

Debating.

My mind is drifting.

Existing,

Through Realities.

Timelines Meant for Me,

To see where it Leads.

Within Each one,

I'm spreading seeds.

Sharing Love where I need,

Shining a Light for all to see.

Defeated by Expectations,

Exceeding limitations,

Nations Awaken.

Revealing...

It’s a fake smile. 
It’s being 3 months old and having a mother in jail. Being 2 years old and being confused whether or not you have a mother. Being 17 and finding out the...

Bought an old cottage
In the country side
Needs some renovation
Have to modernize
On a plot of land all on its own
Wanna make this house a home
 
 
 
 
Gonna fix those windows
New bathroom too
Another thatched roof
Make...

surrounded by bitter disappointment
seemed to be a permanent appointment,
laughter and friends non-permanent cure
no room for any feelings no more,

you never seem to listen, you never seem to care
and when i need you the most, you...

Years pass but the toxic, recurring echo remains heard 
Distasteful slurs and horrid remarks fill in every last crack and crevasse 
Plastering together an utterly repulsive vision of yourself 
Displeasingly seen through your very own...

He unwittingly hovers
       ...blankets of subjective weather
Plastering his artic tundra
Bandaging white clouds together
Blindly...
     ...withholding ill trepedation
Refocused on our tantalization

Frosting earth's core

Scattered room, a mess.
 Disorganized. 
Empty bottles of prescription pills. 
Empty water bottles. 
Empty void. 
Yet the trash is half empty too. 
A beating heart that's tightening 
The heartbeats slow down
Then speeds up again. 
The...

Alice 
Come here dear
The young blue-eyed girl
Skips to her grandmother
What should I wear to this dreadful ball?
The little girl stared furiously for three seconds
The blue-eyed girl eagerly pointed her finger at 
The Silky white rhinestone...

Every morning I wake up
I hope I wake up as someone else
I'm tired of living this life
I'm tired of plastering a smile on my face
When I know it's just a lie
I'm tired of the masquerade...

Jostling between the cattle
as they crowded the street
with steaming bodies
I steered my bicycle to school.

Fresh manure lay
in puddles on the ground,
plastering my shoes 
with sloppy mush.

Men with caps and hats
at all  angles, slapped hands
and...

Just took a Nitroglycerin,
Do you know what that is?
A pill to ease stress and pain 
When the World seems to dis!

Never been written up yet,
From Nursery to Adult Jobs
Even though I was no foolish pet.

a schmaltzy little homily to our successful marriage of 32 & a bit years:

In Our time
We have fathomed
the intricacies
of Measurement
and Angle,
conquered the
Everest of
Plastering 
& painted whole worlds
Many colours, many times over.
We have
Mastered the
Logic of tiling,
Plumbed...
