Tears Of A Clown

Against a willowy wailing backdrop of inner chaos,
an indignant incendiary mask stifles the simmering cauldrons,
of a stoic stage clown post lachrymose performance wearily stunning yet stung,
or the surreptitious posture of the laugh it off as...

I Dived Into The Cauldron Of Magic Potion And

Catapulted into seething temperatures beyond the imagination 
risking excitement in escapades that may seem inane,
potential hazard weighted against predicament predestined,
at some future stage I might peer backwards and reassess,
initial impetuousness under caustic supernatant thumbnail,
maybe I...

Masquerade

A colourful array of falsehoods

Masks clinging on their faces
 Lives hidden away by an illusory veils
Veils that cannot be removed

Seduce Me In Black and White - Erotic Verse

Seduce me in Black and White
You reach toward my face
and touch my lips
Tracing the slightly raised pink curve of them
gently - lightly - before
the urge to kiss me seizes the opportunity
Surrealistic sensations immortalize
as our lips...

Wide Eyed Saunter Part Two

There’s a burning yen nomadic deep within entrenched,
to absorb fresh environments ambrosial on foot,
where incidental hue or august colour wash abound,
or that March bloom tantalising shady patch,

Wide Eyed Saunter

There is an urge within me to wander randomly,
to explore in vivid detail each kaleidoscope,
incidental hue or pristine colour I encounter,

with its dreamlike mystical allure so faraway,

Beautiful Nightmare

3:33 am and my eyes feel the same open as they do closed

(I wonder if this is how she felt?)

Front teeth smother
Bottom lip,
(Except when I cough)


Stress stains my cognition.
Red drips and green strokes.
Acid spots
burning through
Solar...

Death In the Tropics

it is heaven on earth, some say; 
a paradisical playground, 
peopled by bronzed angels in miniature 
and permeated by fragrant incense, by jasmine, 
by the toll of a temple bell.
it is an eastern jungle,

Make It and Eat It

Snap goes each piece of crisp, dark, pungent chocolate,
Dropping into a glass bowl of smooth, creamy milk chocolate chunks awaiting their magical transformation.
The smooth liquid velvety double cream drizzles like a ribbon into the pan,

I Lust For You

I’m aroused, to take you 
on my long ride.
An urgency to have you
explore my stealth –
prodding, poking, pleasuring.
Standing solid strong.
Massive head, elevated
above the rest, ready too!
impale your abyss
impale your deepest sanctuary.

I touch; Yes there
where your...

Always the Lady

An hour before time, they put her through the motions.
Shoving and pulling her strings adding oil and suntan lotion.
Hot and humid still shining in candid spirit she professes
in music, a monotone but in finesse, a...

Reverse Midas Touch

Stomach-wrenching body blows dog those 
blighted by endemic fiasco,,
grim dervish whirl of death a maybe one day royal flush,
predicament that hoodoo mark in frozen ink,
cataclysmic episode relentless as unfolding bleak plot, 
monumental exploits somehow never...

Nightfall In the Shanties of Lagos

Before dusk, 
Before dark when the rustle of the day is dawn
Inbetween those tankers,  you will see them
In the robes of odour
Decorating the hollow corners of fear
Their faces,  carries no pity
They are lord...

The Power of Love

As I stood in the clouds in perplexy
and looked around me satirically
I shook my head and sadly said
“be it life thus, I may be living not”
standing there, I wished for death.

I was sad because I...

Would I

If I pierced your flesh
With my cannibal teeth,
Where soft moans
Vibrate
Along your
Pulsating neck,
Scented with living
Blood,
So pure
So thick
So heavy
So rich,
That one satanic sip
Would intoxicate even the most
Dead
Of us, to believe we could live.
I wonder…
I wonder…
If my unloved,...

Minus Identity Who I Am

Plagued by incandescent ferments  I grapple zealously,
with tower blocks of titan topsoil myriads, 
and melange of eccentric foibles,
considered by some to be  a minus,
but without this composite what is my real nature?

Bella Donna

Bella Donna.
.
Her penetrating eyes speak 
From the very  deep
Far hidden reaches 
Of her grave cold 
Haunting soul
Her ivory skin pale and fare
That tastes and smells devine like summer fruits
She is the girl who graced...
