A man was laid to rest,
From humble beginnings to a martyr
They buried Scotland’s best.
A man who stood for the people
A man unshaken and proud,
Till the imperialist and capitalist murderers
Connived...

Angels and Demons

The Soul never sleeps
battered and lonely, the lesson
Life spent in The Hard Sell
Soft-served you become
melting Insomnia
mouth sucking a loaded gun
blue ribbonned and veined
pulsing electricity
from heart to lung to brain
you’re a...

Of friendships resting in calmer waters, shelter coves of treasures devotions
Never to be rocked away, or relinquished!

the corridors of your mind

The Shadow That Follows Me Still
When I was a girl with ribboned dreams,
I saw myself on TV screens.
A mic in hand, a voice so clear,
Telling stories the world would hear.

To win first prize in the Favs contest hot
On the heels of an enlightening glow worm

Then,
Inched forward as the caravan stuttered
And,
Birthed at Aqua Caliente Station
Unable to make out
The train number and destination,
He turned to me
And asked in a...

appeared suddenly through a darkened wood;
like an oasis after travelling through the Sahara so parched
with thirst threatening to take my life for good.
Though death’s bony palm...

A journey fraught with trials and tribulations,
Yet crowned with triumph and redemption.
