The evening dark and foggy as the children in their guises
with Mums and Dads in tow; collecting trick or treat surprises.

My porch, festooned with spiders, ghosts and ugly-looking gore,
signalled that I’d welcome them if they...

Her hands were happy, 
she fluttered them against 
a cliché sense of blue in the air
and laughed when the allure of

The ground to allow fixed eyes...

But because you do not act the way they think you should

Neither is it because they don’t think you’re not bad
It is just a reaction when...

INTO THE WILD

I dreamed ......

An arboreal wandering into the wild
Creeping in narrow-leaved green herbage
Afraid to be mashed by other wolverines got riled
Their safe abode is now in the siege

The rampage and stampede make a harsh...

Is it a blessing or a curse 
to know we are born to die?
Should we rejoice, be thankful 
for feeling time's blood
passing through our lives, 
or do we regret our ever
aging bodies as skin thins...

Sixteen Minutes to Ten


At sixteen minutes to ten it ended
snapped like the film in a theater camera
fluttering images slapping the hypnotized
beating against the white light’s call.
An empty coldness crept into the being
slowing the heart, seizing...

Because of you I will engage 
In a futile, vain attempt,  
To put in words upon this page 
What loving you has meant. 

Through miles between unmeasured 
And the boundaries of time, 
You’ve been...

A factory that almost brainwashed me.
I've been raised to believe,
that love for others makes me strong,
that self-hatred makes me weak.

that feelings matter
and that truth is...

Deep down something hurts
Deep down something aches
Deep down something cries
Deep down something dies
Trying to uncage the beast 
To honour the deceased
With the vain attempt 
The cover remains kempt
The frosted hollow stone
The icy cold bone
The flawless...
