Long Staircases Poems

Fantasy sold on a 50’s bottle cap; 
a party-girl side-saddle sits
on a double-edged crescent moon
up high —a silver scythe in glamour-night sky
corners of her cherry mouth upturned
her right hand raises her glass  a toast...

Atlantis


Can't be re-written by the Gods
The land and sands of time
Destroyed by the fire of Poseidon's curse

Peaceful existence met its end

It stood on the top of the hill
dominating all of its surrounds.
Its drawbridge these days lay open
spanning with ease the now dry moat.

that soared up high brushing the...

Cabinets slamming at 2 a.m.,  
spectral remnants of old arguments ...

Staircases of lost trails
of thoughts in the ancient
recesses, nooks and corners,
in the half-drawn zebra-crossings,

that sell enchantment,
in the giant-bridge that overlooks...

imagine what a dead house would look 
like. A stillborn Brownstone with its Jurassic 
sandstone hiccupping fossils and family 
feuds. Terrace houses would ripple rumour

I hope you lose your hair and cry for days.
I hope every step hurts.
I hope your nausea renders you speechless, and bouts of dizziness sends you crashing to the floor.

White flakes falling from grey winter skies
Flocks of daffodils beneath snowy  mounds lie
Rivers of  red candy canes flow gently by
Along evergreen banks, dew covered grasses,
