Short Repossession Poems

Banks,
Financial assassins
Firing bullets 
Of insolvency
At targets
Without cover
Raping with foreclosure
Killing with repossession
Preying and hunting
All trophies out of season
Poaching their eternity
From the bounty of hell

Slay me
September sun
hot penetrating star
wanton repossession I lust
Sol-mate

Kindle
kiss me afire
spread me bathed blushing surge
flare flies flamingo dawning sky
birth-day

The battle in the soul
We could have won.
But nearly lost our world,
in earthly things we own.

The repossession
Taken everything back
All savings have gone 
Leave us empty and broken.

Tears from the heart
A flood of feelings
Praying from the start
Good fortune revellings.

Inhale tragedy of possession 
Exhale relief of repossession...

Evicted now from house and home
our mortgage in arrears.
This finally brought home to roost
the worst of all our fears.

The repossession notice
never came as a surprise,
we’d struggled now for many years
avoiding this demise.

A loss of both our house and ‘home',
NO… it cannot be that way!
We’ve only lost our house you see,
our home's still where we stay.

And home cannot be torn from us,
it lives within our hearts.
Wherever we lay down our heads
is where our new home starts…..
