Anger is camouflaged with the cloak of reticence
Ardour suffocated...

Each time has a special place
And every such place has its time.
When nature seethes with strangeness
Where the mind in exquisite isolation halts itself and listens
For the rumblings of a something large and not easily defined...

In Life’s old garden nations lived who all its fruits enjoyed,
While others longed in vain, while some the winter blasts destroyed;
Its trees are legion; some decay, While others flush with bloom,
And thousands still their birth...

Scarecrow Addict
           

Gritted and dusty
Powered by flack jacket eyes
Bootsteps through grey puddles
Flotilla of cigarette butts
Trash kicked aside
In a desert of litter
Seeking the soulless of death
Chattering...

The clock chastises me,
as painted petals bloom brilliance
in illuminated wonder that attempts 
escape from the hidden crevices
deep within my beleaguered mind.

The beauty I seek is but an allusive dream,
     flowing rags...

Betrayed 
I see a feeble fire dancing in the night
Glimmering and struggling against the darkness
 A sour ash smell fills my nose as I stare at the crimson flames
My eyes burn from the fuse of...

Impeccant,
 of non-textual matters
 one’s covered flesh,
 and hidden embrasure’
 as diffusate primer
 slips life’s veil, and
 in agitated pontlevis,
 cleaves the universe’ reason…
 “Egads! What sorcery is this?”
 Holy heart failure, Batman!
 “Beavis and...

Distressed by Rob Barratt

My furniture is all distressed
It's unusually unstable
The oak bookcase is quite depressed
As is the coffee table

The worktop has a thin veneer
It seethes beneath the surface
The taps know how low they can… sink

Step inside my nightmare
Greet the horror that lurks within
Come look in the eye of loathing
Observe the war I can never win
I must suffocate a sickness
Overpower and obliterate an ill
I have to pound it into nothingness
Let...

My passion arouses the pulsing of my heart.
My identity fearlessly embarks toward the start.

The confidence I muster surges dauntless of fear.
Embracing the boldness with a...

In the center of the ocean
There is unusual commotion
On the island on that ocean
Wrath and hate is the prevailing emotion

On the island beautiful Alexandra bird wing butterfly
Will fly
To the endless azure sky
But if he goes...

The Unseen, As Swirling Ebbs Of Time Plod Along

Fight disbelief, as its intended power is to deceive
its low, hard constant drone, echoes shattered moans
with razor knife edge, bloodied cuts hide in its deep,
at dusk's waning...

With contempt men gaze upon me,
disregarded, as a worm below their tread,
but You, O Lord have skillfully formed me
to be poured like wine, broken like bread.

This Carpenter's hands and sojourning feet

Like sitting upon a sail at the storm’s peak,
riding its mastery, and black and blue artistry.
Underneath the vessel’s feet, it’s troubled us
to flip us end to end, to break its back. Pale

Like a tsunami from the ocean
I want to churn everything, inside out
But rue the fact that, 
Like a bubble in the air 
Have to be content with only 
Being fidgety inside myself.

We are wisps in this cosmos,
The flimsy bubbles,
The clumsy issues'
In this decay, this cosmic swamp.
We are the degassing 
Of a dying celestial being's bowels,
The place where is-life churns and seethes,
The place where was-life nourishes the...

You say you’re going to fight and give it all you got
You say you find it hard to breathe
You say you’re mad at me but I’m the one...
