The Old House and the Specter
The pale apparition swirls in on night mist.
It envelopes her body, then breathes out its kiss.
Cold to her cheek as the fog to the shore;
She utters a sigh then sleeps deeply once more.
She’s new...

Lifted
my mind is screaming
merely mimicking my lost design
my heart is bleeding
memories of a dissolved time
With the scorned child, I thought gone
the next stage of life has now begun
Feeling lost within my own...

Blind Views
I stare at the world through slats in the blind
Which are partly obscuring the dazzle at times
There's nothing particular to spot there today
As even the birds seem to have all flown away
But once in a...

Green Eyes
You wore a green shirt,
as I remember.
It was bright and lit up your eyes.
Your smile scrunched, your eyes narrowed
sweetly, like you knew what you were doing.
You sat to my left, I was scared,...

October Storm
The October storm
In the valley would form
The rain and hail damage would perform
And meteorologists would predict another such storm
In the old house man is holding his wife’s pale hand
Hoping she and the unborn child would...

Stuck
Empty.
Used up.
Used full-stop.
Much as this is true, there's more to say than ever, just
Bursting to break through,
Stuck in my head, my throat,
Clogged up with guilt,
I refuse to be a burden but I refuse to...

Miracle
The once magnificent garden had become a paradise of weeds towering high
Ragwort and dandelion shedding their seeds took over the lonely asylum
Rakes shears shovels and secateurs rested where Tim had left them to dwell
Mocking and...

White Nikes
White Nikes
By Alex Gordon
At the end of summer, you find yourself inside a shoe store
A clean pair of white Nikes immediately catches your eye
You buy them without hesitation
The first day of school comes,...

Living the Life
He step off the plane, his own plane, twin-engine Learjet,
The rain runs off his flat-brim as he glances up at the sky, the clouds
And with a glance at his wrist watch he follows his escort,...

Harlem, You Cheated
you used to whisper to me
in stoop slang and bachata basslines,
kiss my cheek with corner store breath -
hot beef patties, papitas, a dollar Arizona.
you’d walk me past block parties
where the speakers cracked from joy,
and the...

Stained Letters
They know your face
Your body
You turned on the camera
You let them in
Unknown editors
When they asked for more
You gave it freely
You didn't know
You were a blank paper
They pry for more
To see more
To...

I am not fazed or dazed By
Winter’s fast approach because In such cold days
I just indulge in the comfort of Clinging onto my curvaceous wife’s gorgeous Cleavage
It’s like mind over matter as...

Elegy for a Kitchen Table
The kitchen table
was the centerpoint of childhood,
a place of gathering,
an easel for artworks, battleground
for homework and Eden
for the creation of lifeforms
moulded from plasticine.
It was the Formica altar
on which daily meals...

Rubies In a Bird
A campaign for a bloody jewel!
The gold is in mine insides. Dig through if the greed
So eats you, so seduces you.
Do not fear me for risk of dirty hands;
If you are afraid of the...

Pressure Induced Rant
I'm more than half way to the gates
or so the statistics fancy to say.
Seen a lot but need to see a lot more
haven't suffered or laughed enough
need a few more scuffs and scars
need to grow...

Rhymes With Stuff
Rhymes with “Stuff”
By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Bluffs are charades to win card games played.

The Black Box
The Black Box
They came to the house
for the wrong reason.
In the end…
They didn’t care,
any address would do,
as long as the reports were made,
and the numbers taken down
before the beginning of...

Brother Being
Massage my back and slit my throat
As I moan and squeal with warm waves
Fuel and thanks
Wash me down in an oak casket before he leaves
Preparation unlocked as bloated juice shoots out in perfection with flaws

Yonder
Yonder there, where twig figures bend
and blink out as a sea-swell slugs the beach,
there the netted thrash, then hauled, toggled and pinched
yet more, into a gill-snagging catch.
Far away a village rests, submerged
beneath a mossy night,...

Observations From a Squash Court Wall
Built to take the abusive raqueteering
punishment unleashed upon me
by human beings
Towering around those agile people
so quick of foot and strong of arm
with blood sweat, and testosterone raging
Black rubber ball scuffs pure white painted walls
a dash...

My Western Star
We had a few puffs
and had a few scuffs
drank wine and some beer
listened to the old songs
sittin' in the new Fongs
on across the road from the TC Square
I had an old truck all...

You've worn me out; you've filled me with holes

Trouble By Kimmy Holmes,{ My Daughter)
I've stayed away from trouble
Straightened up my life
I pay the rent
when rent come due
I gotta a day job
I'm goin to school
I give up the whiskey
the late nights out
I got myself a savings account
