Long Pulverised Poems

[This poem 'No God Of  Mine' was seemingly confounding readers as
to its meaning. Ordinarily, if I felt a poem wasn't  cutting it, I'd delete
it, but on this occasion, I've been asked to explain it... so here goes.]

Cement, sand and gravel, blood, body and soul
Eternity bred from hell's darkest hole
Combine gruesome aggregates, hydrate the mix
Mould them and dry them, then stack up the bricks.

Thought in advance and precision laboured
Set automatic, eternity savoured
No...

Finding the plot

Of lost innocence
engrained in untold memories

The silenced absence 
in past present unspoken
stories well hidden
and therefore evoking
my past and my future
not mine and mine

Quite a mind-field
mines bombs blazing
artillery burning houses

My antecedent shelter of

I lived to know the beauty of pain, 
my smile growing thicker as I cried harder,
the ache in my chest pounding through to my head hurt so much that I laughed.

THE UNCOVERED ....


Blunders draped in bundles
of clandestine regalia
Passing each aurora, simmers
obnoxious guilty flames
Seized are its weapons
Silenced is its voice
Water-tight , to the exterior,
Access denied....
Conscience asphyxiated

The glittery outside
Embezzlement fills treasures
Tactfully...

I was deserted by fun
Locked in a lonely world
Looked upon like a clown 
My heart was then cold 
Then out of emptiness, yet bountiful
You emerged so graceful.

Neck so strained
Fight heavy brained
Lights too bright
Fog explained

Smells so sickly

It is a blight on all our light and sound

going into space, they stood on a podium
especially made for them and it was decorated
