Brave Shadow Mane

Losing consciousness, in my mouth blood I could taste
Now this was indeed...

Held Aloft
We'd laid old George to rest the week before,
at ninety-one he now rejoined his wife,
no heirs to his estate, so one thing more
to do, and that's clear where he'd spent his life.
Downstairs had been quite...

Sonnet
Watching Me
It was midnight and my dream was shattered
I fell into darkness
A nightmare
I was sinking, drowning, dying…
But then I heard the laugh of a child
Carefree and joyful was the music of her lips
She smiled and suddenly...

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 25
I was restless all the night,
The demoness softly singing a haunting tune
The Holy Spirit sifted in swirls around me,
And she touched with her claws its essence with strange wonder
I awoke to his songs strong and...

The Flight of An Arrow
Dawn broke
The eastern pink sky
Drew across the stars
As they faded and lost to the night
I called the eagle
To guide me
Piercing whistle
That I learnt as a boy
Running wild and free
I walked in the company...

Ballad
Repent and Believe
Riding a roller coaster
Propelled by life’s velocity
Governed by instincts and thought
Driven by an urge to emerge victorious
Sentience deadened to conscience
Flitting thus from desire to desire
We built an imaginary script
Of narrow ego identity
Some...

If This Beauty Shall Be My Final Curtain, Let It Be Dropped Slowly
Parched and dry, this barren field stretches,
I wander, head hung low,
staring at the emptiness eclipsing my thoughts
Brittle blades of grass disappear beneath
my worn out sneakers,
black and white crushing beige
in slow fashioned footprints of blistered...

Man Walks Into a Bar With a Bear and An Elephant

he was with a bear and an elephant
and they looked like they were spoiling for a fight
'Anyone got a problem with us?'
The man asked,

EVERYBODY HAS A STORY
Sometimes we are concentrating so hard on our own story…and things we’re going through
we have a tendency to forget other people are in the midst of their story too.
An elderly woman walked into the bookstore…

A Grandmother's Legacy
Warming lights surround you
Quilting the sharp silence
Outside dawn begins
Earth starts stretching
Straightening out the knots
Caught from hours of slumber
Night moves on to blacken another sky
And Calmness stills the room
All is as it should be
As you...

Streamlining the Pain
You broke down barriers and set me free
Like butter that melted for the cause
You spiced up my life and flavoured me
With delicacies from foreign shores
Covered my head with jelly fish moulds
Told me to dream then...

Unfaithful
My love for you
It grew and grew
My passion never waning
To be with you
To hear your voice
It was so very sustaining
I’d wait in the quiet
All alone
So no one could interrupt
Our solitude so important to me
I...

The Toe Jam Jamboree
Was it his head tilt that stumped me—
Was it his keen variations of hilarity,
Was it his words—wild, strange, free,
Like a bird straight out of captivity?
He had a frisky, playful tongue
That sounded like a friend

And She Knows - the 6th Street Series - Part 2
11:45 pm
Spot light’s glare, shadows rocking
Wooden stage moving beneath my feet
Worn of past performances, steadied for the new breed
Bottles line the edge, dead soldiers, lipstick
Some full, some not, some spilled…nice
She’s there, always there, a...
