Long Undercurrents Poems

who experiences close encounters
of masterly baited entrapment
on Facebook Messenger
and most likely...

"The Depths"

From the depths
silence.

Where 
are the voices
of other 
women?

In that other place,
the monsters violate, 
they take and take
bloody all, what they want

the dreams of women
are torched, murdered, 
next to them, 
the sweet dreams of lives...

"The Magnus Effect"

A whole life in a deck of cards
dealt across the table
in front of the brutally dismissive,
the fortunes of the war worn read
translated glamorously from rock bed,
both with glee and dread, there sits

Glancing down from breathless heights,
Amidst climey sighs,
The looming colossus awakens from slumber
And stretches across Thelwalls linear skies.
The hot engines hissing steam -
Recalled from fond memories long back -
Tumbling like huffing little rain clouds
Down from the...

There's more to be known from snatches of caught words than prepared words
The truth...

The carriage trip – who’d like the factual version?
That whole idea was Tuzia’s, never mine.
“Let’s take a carriage for a day excursion,
and have a picnic on the Aventine –
we’ll see the Seven Churches!”...

Kurt dangled on a bangled teardrop crying for muted vision

Braced for superficial insight as the surface mirrored the cracks

Tension was his life line for he longed for shedding his fears

But nightmares thoroughly punctured his resilient...

There is a certain darkness 
following your smile lines with my fingers
knowing the fine teeter between joy and pain
amongst five o'clock shadows and brooding
always waiting there in undercurrents.

Alone      ( A poem for the other half of my soul )



Loneliness; I’m sure
Is something we all have known

A leadened heart devoid of trust
until an alchemist came along,
turning it into gold-
Or so it seemed...
Trust, broken trust.

 
It was now a locket that held secrets,
that had a key protected by fear
Hidden in the darkness...

down past the cold undercurrents of 
Virginia's Woolf, and Sylvia's wrath
searching through their darkest hearts
too many writers take another path

from fulfillment, and in their cups
awash with sullen antidepressants
pondering if they'll get enough

where we stand today
On the ocean floor
with flowing hair
and salty eyes
watching the fish watch us
in wonderment and brine
And we hold hands still.
Bubbles blowing up
into the...

Standing equal for a moment in time
Resonating with same frequency 

It makes you think
