I watch you now in sadness despairing 
Upon the pillow of pain lies your head 
Lost in the grief your temple is bearing 

My heart is light and...

Why Can'T I Be More Like You
dear sister,

if I was more like you, I’d fight for your 
memory,
cascade waves in oceans in honor of you-
maybe thoughts of your final farewell flood 
through my mind because of how you left;
what happened after...

Three Months Later
"Suicide doesn't kill the pain-
it just passes it on to someone else"

weeping from loss I emptied the ocean,
remembering each emotion
     abandoned by devotion-
sights unseen by nude eyes shine,
forgetting your dear heart...

Wistful Breath
Could be any day now,
waiting for that last breath and a peek,
an opening, of glazed orbs once blue.
Wanting him to stay forever
even though his body laughs at me.
Each consuming cell eager for his parts;
each consuming...

Someday I will become more than just a wife.
Not every passerby means something.

All Holding Hands
ALL HOLDING HANDS

Shiny and new,
Brilliant and blue,
Covered in crystal white,
Oh'...what a sight,
The freshness - sweet and light.
More than a treasure,
Wonder - pleasure.
Silver and gold,
Perfect folds 
And stately moulds.

Across shores and sands,
Gently sloping lands,
All holding hands...

Soldier Boy”



He left a boy -
That young man 
Whose face held the last vestiges of freckles
From summers spent tramping about
The countryside on sunny afternoons.

He left a boy -
That proud young soldier
Who brushed away the mother’s...

Glittery Oblivion
The corridor is darkly invasive
usurpation knows not where it steers,
my nightgown caught on wildfire, 
ending was indubitably a flimsy inferno
dreaming phantasma went up in smoke
i was flying naked in my captured head,
blissfully feverish in comfortable...

A Ramble On Justice
What is justice you ask?
It is the safekeeping of all we task.

It matters not if it is real or intellectual property
Blind justice is not supposed to leave us in poverty.
Life and limb can be in...

Feral Beyond Comprehension
He was untamed by human nature,
wild as a lion and fierce as a wolf.
Not carrying any instinct other than 
intense cruelty,
he kept his brutality for safekeeping. 

Like an undomesticated cat he roamed
the streets at night...

 That’s what he said
 The conservative side of me

Smoke Clouds
My master's shaft of light is forbidding;
Still, I have enough sense left to keep hidden.

If he cannot find me, he will not hurt me;
my silence, a bold plea for safety.

Beneath the dank hay, prayer makes...

Islam Burning


In deep purple flame
Stapled to the cross
While the peasants yell below
Demon demon demon
Black flags rise
Hearts fail to beat
Humanity has lost this score
The axe swings in the air
Freedom at last
From Islam’s beasts
My head tumbles into...

by rumours
   of ovens

calcinated bones in torrid ashes
teeth without a name
pebbles in the sands of hate waves

Forgotten Are Forgotten
Forgotten are forgotten

Forgotten,
left on the side of the road,
tossed out with the trash,
litter in someone else’s world,
cold soup in a fractured bowl
spilled in the void of those
who have left without a thought

Though this is not...
