Long Tantalising Poems

A colourful array of falsehoods
Intricately designed disguises 
Fools, fortunes, phantoms
Masks clinging on their faces
 Lives hidden away by an illusory veils
Veils that cannot be removed
Cannot be seen
Secrets tucked away in their eyes
Each a pair of...

Let's dwell a tiny bit  on that  skill  most hanker after,
of mastering a language that especially enthrals,
infused with magic rhythm so fervent,
pulsing music lilt,  anthem-rich samba,
think for one ecstatic heady moment,
if...

Midst the mulga and the gidyea out beyond the old Paroo 
runs a road which leads to Yowah and a great place it is too. 
Where the populace is smitten by an urge they can’t...

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...

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,
with its dreamlike mystic wide-flung allure,
some blue pigment dawn...

There is an urge within me to wander randomly,
to explore in vivid detail each kaleidoscope,
incidental hue or pristine colour I encounter,
or just as likely that tantalising shady patch,
with its dreamlike mystical allure so faraway,
this blue...

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...

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,

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,
As...

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...

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...

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,

good news for most too bad for some! (by poet)

about death 
and how I found my way

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...

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...

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,...

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...

It was a cold and muddy day
as Gertrude lay smiling.
Just the kind of weather 
that she adored.
She could splash around 
for hours in the glop 
and guzzle up 
all her shlopp 
when it was time.
Oh...

~Mistress of the Morn~
Fingers creeping stealthily about, in early morning dew
Creeping touching, tempting, damp as they find you.

Cold yet exquisite after the warm dark night
Tantalising and teasing and bringing fresh delight.

The mistress of the morn...

It is the sound of descending snowflakes
Stumbling end over end, lightly so
It is the rhythm of the air
Breathing softly through sienna coloured hair

If you listen carefully without a breath
You may hear it within the echoes...
