Long Spiralled Poems

Guilty I voiced my plea
Whilst the fishies looked at me
There he stood-pleased and grinning;
Disregard of what was sinning

Guilty I yelled again;
Affirmation for the man
My heart you stole for I stole yours;
Exchange of hearts with distant...

I'm thankful for the stepping stones
That lead me to solid ground.
I’m not ashamed
To go from a life of insanity
To a mind that is sound.
But, I will say
Trial and error
At first
Is mostly what I found.
I discovered...

The storms are raging on the rollin' sea, and on the highway of regret
Yes, I played around, was unfaithful to you, I'd change it all you bet.

Diversity
I was born out of a number,
Faces defining my world,
and I've always been inclined to cumber
the distress I witness at this berth
against the figure.

Yes, the figure that is and is not,
because I have no culture,...

The Journey

……….. had been arduous, 
the path had been cramped,
the afternoon was shortening
and my destination crept closer….
I walked on.

The path still strolled ahead of me
and no matter how fast I travelled -
that fact never seemed...

"The Croquis"



I draw what is required
from the Russian Doll
embracing my mind

Heart-shaped,
a planchette to guide
the necrophonic void

eternal,
recalcitrant,
answers back like a child

automatic

white chalk drawing 
whispers from a Ouija board 
guided by spectral voices 

charcoal shadows dark
cling fast...

THE UNRELENTING WRITER

Words spiralled  from within her
Each thought teemed from her core,
Each line brimmed almost overflowed 
Ready to be tilted and  poured.

Was it the nostalgic scent around her?
Or gleeful giggles from afar?
Or the...

I stood in awe 
and watched him work
unyielding metal, forged in fire, now bending, 
moulding to his will somehow, unending, 
the blows raining down, 
the hammer's kiss 
drowning birdsong and the forges fiery hiss.
I work...

Unflinchingly, you sit in slumbered pose
as breath is amber bathed in bright moonlight 
with rhythmic pulse in time's perspective held,

when fragile candles caress tawny skin, 
you watch the honeyed flame shimmer air. 
This morphs in...

From some week
Nauseous I feel 
Last month my period also ceased 
I'd gone to Doctor 
"You are preggy"
She congratulated me. 
A sweet smile ran through my lips 
Oh!  I was tickled pink 
But wait.....

fame,
you bitch
it was you who taunted us
we walked
on razor sharp blades
of grass

covered in white dust 
inside
on the surface

on the surface
we used the word art
and crapped on it
like so much hay

hey

Sometimes I rail against old customs
 For the bitterness they sow
 In many contrary, and solitary bosoms
 Cut off from root to grow
 Alone in dark sadness, isolated by winds
 That thresh them apart for...

REMEMBERING WHO WE ARE

Spiralled rainbows ! 
burnished tapestries of trials
Birth, love, death ripen 
Winds of Change for our country’s call
Battles in a corner buried, we haul
storms or it’s enthralls …

Falcons swoop on soldier graves 
nostalgic...

But all I see is I'm okay"

Freddy the Fly
Meandering on
the ceiling one day,
Suddenly got a "heads up!"

He glimpsed from 
three hundred or so,
Of his left side eyes,
A sight guaranteed
To make a fly's fear
rise.

For there was Sidney

Somehow my husband has slept through it all

She paints on a smile
but her eyes betray her
she looks in the mirror
her invisible scars

she looks out of the window
it's too overcast for sunglasses
but she puts them on anyway
