Gaus has a funny knack
Of repairing any gadget
Can do so with anything
Except repairing himself.
He can service the lot
Except his own...

Leather, rubber, PVC 
Synched waists, stiletto heels 
Chicken cutlets shoved in bras 
Body stocking, pantyhose 

Sitting around, TV on

To book a session 
Half hour, maybe more...

Emotions in motion


Emotions in motion, 
Changing from frozen to broken,
To joyful and delirious!
There are words to be spoken.


I’ve been up and down and messed around,
But now I am found in the dirt with her.
Her love...

Taken with a pinch of salt

Invisible to the naked eye

Should you wish to be unique

Bare your soul be exposed stripped
of flesh down to the naked bone

Stand alone and out from the 
robotic crowd marching in
synchronicity

A month ago I fell into a kettle of soup that was hot.
Many chefs to stir the broth, and I've met quite a lot.
I grew curious about what made the soup so unique
So I thought...

When Mother and I cooked in her kitchen, we often referred to Granny’s recipe cards. Frequently, though, the cards just listed the ingredients without exact quantities; and all too often the recipe’s vague language frustrated...

Children laughing when at play, bright sun rising to greet the day
Sweet cream added in my morning coffee, horses munching hay
A rusty nut that just breaks free, an ancient majestic noble tree

Great sorrow lies in the depths of the heart
A shadow of loneliness 
A cry for recognition 

The drifting thoughts 
The unfulfilling wants 
The hopeless mind
An overwhelmed soul

A cheer for goodness
A want for kindness

It was telling about a play on the street tonight, 
And it was singing about life well being in me and you,
Coming against my own reality made ruins...

How far do the ripples spread, when eventually we die 
Probably stay in the locality, level off, no major outcry
But let’s say we’re famous, suffering unexplained death 
The ripples keep expanding, growing further in breadth...

I hold ever so tightly
Even Butch and Bailey my dogs
Licks their lips for the flavor
Wishing I’d just drop one
No! Boy, ain’t gonna happen this...

A blister in the heart

Like walking blindfolded into a minefield 
You skirmish and elbow your diligent way
Like a house of cards that collapses
You endure anguish and stitch

And ‘the Land of Hope and Glory.’

wear medieval armour

if the poem hits a nerve
numb yourself into submission

place gloves upon its hands
