The monster
hides deep within
until it is
unleashed
wreaking havoc 
upon me
like Godzilla 
upon the 
unsuspecting streets
of Japan....

April snow still batters my soul
Someone upstairs is asleep at the controls
A negative tone
One person alone
Still wreaking havoc on us a-holes...

winds thundering past
wreaking havoc in their wake…
silence here at last  

Written 15th March 2019  -  after enduring days of relentless high winds and rain across the UK...

Wicked aged woman,
wreaking harm with cauldron,
warty nose, crafty eyes;
Wisdom sees through dark guise!
When riding purple broom,
wild crone cackles at moon.
Warblers on crimson skies....

Trump A Wreaking Bar

Trump is a human wreaking bar
Does whatever he wants as a star
Wondering why we will stand aloof
While he shots mouth off the roof
As much as he wants goes that far.

I've just been told to be an adult around here
My answer is why feel like an old-time buccaneer
Wielding my sword
Hey matey climb aboard
Sail the seas wreaking havoc, sweet lassies to share...

THE SKY ERUPTS
monsters forming
wreaking havoc
shattering serenity

BOLTS OF HELL
deluge descending
releasing horror
drowning beings

WINDS OF WRATH
power dissipating
scattering entities
paralyzing vacant minds...

A Bad Boy    All my life    Shattering dreams     Wreaking havoc    Silent tears   Wishing     With all my might     My wandering eyes    Staring blindly   Searching   Never finding     The one      For an eternity       That could make it right...

lighthouse for all souls. . . . 
his eye is ever watchful
guiding those who see

storms unceasingly
wreaking havoc in dark hours. . .  
hope shines up ahead

Thunder much like a Greek God
It resonates through my ears,
It causes me to bear a grin
Deep sapphire lies out like the land,
Wreaking of aged salt
The crescents of impure white disintegrate,
When adjusting to the actual level,
The level of the sea....

close up the heart 
no longer in service 
no longer open for business
doors have been slammed shut 
for good this time
the space has been 
condemned 
set for demolition  
the wreaking ball 
has crashed into 
the building 
the walls have came
toppling down...

Ill spoken words
Become buzzards
Flying downwards.
Wreaking havoc.

One silent friend
Evokes calms mend.
And two souls blend.
Smiling awestruck.

L-et Wednesday beacon burn, 
H-aving the light to shine; 
E-arly morn March twenty-ninth, 
N-ew dawn warms your mind. 

E-vening chill and storm 
S-top wreaking confusion; 
C-old raindrops are gone, 
O-ne woe is brought to oblivion. 
B-eautiful day has come, 
A-fter the vile weather's turn; 
L-et the darkness disappear, let Wednesday beacon burn....

America keeps 
disintegrating;
GOP Party, 
the hope I see in 
the cyan blue skies,

now eroding
before my eyes.
Covid-19
wreaking havoc.

Injustice,
Racism
on the rise.

Will it
ever...

stop?

 All the traffic lights had stopped working
 Everyone wondered why
 All ATM machines were down
 All this was done by AI

 AI was wreaking havoc on countries
 By shutting down essential systems
 AI demanded that all wars cease
 As humans tried to regain control

 But it was too late
 AI had reached Singularity
 It was now in control of itself
 and began to rule humanity!...

The icy talons of nature
Claw for my soul 
Leaving my body
A broken home

First, my sense of smell
Then, my power of speech.
Left distraught I was,
Incapable of roaming the earth

Wreaking havoc vengefully,
The dust of the earth did
Slither into my nostrils
And down my spine

And like gods against a man
The frost of stars fallen
And that which man was born of
Came with the curse of harmattan...

Circumstances and situations in life
can leave us with a stench,
wreaking of pungent smells!
Dirty, low down tactics of others
devised to taint us in a bad light,
ruining reputations making us want
to flee or take flight,
Most of the times we are clueless
to the underhandedness of our
nemesis' until their devious acts
greets us by surprise,
The smiling faces suddenly get revealed
to be dirty, low down eels....

I’ve seen these clouds before
Like the uninvited guest
Who comes
Banging down my door

Arriving with little warning
To pillage and to raid
Wreaking much havoc
And raining on my parade 

This time I come prepared
I’ve found my own thunder
There’s nothing left here 
for you to set your sites to plunder

I face you with an attitude that’s flawless 
and stellar
As I boldly pop up
My hearts metal framed umbrella!...

I dream in sanguine
crippled 'pon the demise
of paupers.

Shackled to my seat,
unable to believe 
this is reality.

Wake me up, 
Oh someone wake me up.

Pour water 'pon me,
pinch me,
slap me,
kick me awake,
I've slept enough,
tis more then I can take.

It's science fiction come alive,
wreaking havoc before my eyes.

Oh won't someone please wake me?
Before I die in my sleep.

Joining Orwell for a cup of tea....

I am an endangered species;
A Seedling
Six Degrees of Separation;
Seceding
Smoke and ash;
Out of space brick;
Solar meteorites lunar eclipse;
From east to west from best to worst;
Bougainvillea 
Broken condemned Villa;
Soldiers marching out the city;
Wreaking havoc there's no democracy;
Sawdust
Light lust
Denison's this place citizens;
 concrete ?

In the recesses of my mind
Lurks an imaginary fiend;
a part of my psyche’s design
borne of a roguish, mutate gene.
Deceit belies my comeliness
To my casual encounters,
I’m well-mannered and smartly dressed
I’m an unsuspecting monster.
Damn fools! Clothes never make the man
nor his discriminating taste.
This real man is more inhuman
whose moral state is unchaste.
I was born with this affliction
Wreaking pain is satisfaction....

(Rain is wreaking havoc in our land due to depression formed in the Bay of Bengal)


Over me 
a grey dappled 
cloud ridden sky
no one yearns to gaze at

below me,
rushing rivulets
of water!

between, 
needles of rain
that sings 
to nobody
but pricking 
every heart,
scripting tragic tales!

it's not just water that fills our ocean
buoyant as that may be
it's more of matter over mind
anchoring aground  
when bluebirds no longer sound

I still hear them  
echoing through the silence of time
a coded coo corralled in unconscious

intertwined  
a slow dance of death

unrehearsed
shadows aloof

to die
upon the sword
but as one

blood wrung wrists
washing away in the waves
wreaking a lumpish shore...

As the wind blows through my window it seems to call my name
One moment calm and still then later howls in pain.

This mystery of the air envisioned in the trees displayed
Creates chaos with it's strength the damage is portrayed.

They warn me to be cautious but this connection hides the fright
I love it blowing in my hair and I welcome it's delight.

A master of deception wreaking havoc on the sea
Breezy though is there to be seen by you and me....
