I swing into action
Armed with wine 
The spirit willing, really for anything
Watch the Drama

Fire in my eye, dry throat, cracking lip
I stammer a little, with Socratic confidence 
I am stinking of words, ammunition from hell

Crackling tension filled the community hall in Abergavenny 

‘We are in this together dear folks for a pound or a penny’

Speaking of which the loos were situated right behind the bar

To ensure that urinal relief...

you don't like me...and that's ok
you need your comfort zone in tact
and so you keep away
passionately intense people
can make life a little messy
blood bath of emotions
on display
night or day
It's ok

Never thought you had it in...

 Three years have been a lifetime, 
In a place unfathomable-

Met with a gun barrel to the scalp,
Scars cover his back, tortured for freedom,
  Punished for...

Loving life hid beneath rim of cool ceramic bowl
Tree frog claimed proud place, toilet's homely hole
Enamoured by his simple palace making stance
I bend to peer at his green grip toe stick, entranced

My ordinary admonished by...

and all the girls they want to be queens. 
They all wanted to have crowns of gold and steal. 
They wanted to rule kingdoms that were their body’s and...

Warriors in us, 
When time comes, we fight our fiercest battle. 

A dainty lass, cocooned by mother’s care,  
and father’s protective arms, 
grew up gleeful and merry, humming melodies and frolicking carefree
in the lap of bountiful nature, 
Nobody...

One evening my dog and I discovered a nature enveloped trail and we went for

identical looking offspring. Unexpectedly, a taller...

Image: Cloud Fantasy, by Susan Lawrence

On spring's green carpet I repose, revitalizing the soul
passing slow minutes pondering the sky

The lake whispers a morning meditation
as memories abound of cloud fantasies
a thousand ships of condensation dreams

Assorted sizes,...

Should words, like rain drops;
Pelt your heart?
Get drenched; Soak yourself,
quench the earning,
of your parched soul.

When words corrode,
your very reasoning?
Then build groynes,
that stops the breach.
Secure your mind,
from erosion.

And if Words don't,
mean anything?
Then delete them,
Ignore the lamenting.

Could,...

It was a hot summers day, in our garden in the countryside. Sheltered from noisy
cities and towns. Where we are able to approach life so differently. My girl my love, always 
in liberty flow, so...

Poets have always had a deep connection with Death
As if,
They sort of knew
That the occult power that it is made of
Is the medium through which
The ultimate form of freedom is attained!

Poets' deep respect for Death

With trembling hands I tore into my gift
My heart a flutter at what I would find
Out of the box, tiara I did lift
Sent with love from subjects, loyal kind

And nestled there, what else did I...

“Fire” alarm sirens
are going off [the audible radar]
stealth silently
Those living deaf 
can’t receive
the incoming Death warning

Sky chariots on the roil warpath
are thunderclap rolling
Propaganda leaflet droppings
did foreshadow 
their cursed dire coming

Ordnance jewels are falling
from hailstone crowns...

Wear your gown of golden glow
I’m shallow without your halo
Penetrate my limber' with your warm rays
Unfold into my everlasting Arms
Leave nothing to the red carpet at your feet,
But the footprint of your shimmering heat
Shine like...

Ash - grey chemised
she shifts her shape
as silver flakes float coat
stripped naked places, 
sheath curves and angled spaces
Angry glitter tingle stings
thick earth skin with prickly flames
and rumble rise regurgitates
shimmy - shake shudders
in magma's deep thrombosis.
