Tussled Poems

The Bigger Picture

...Minehead, or Skegness,
she never could remember which.

A monochrome ‘Box Brownie’
a smirking strange man.
She's young and beautiful.
They sit on a low seawall,
my four-year-old-self
between....

Idyllic reverie during break of day

...Idyllic reverie during break of day

May today bring unbridled bliss 
delivered courtesy sunshine kissed
giving Midas a run for his money.

When the last trace of night 
evaporates analogous t...

A Treasured Single Private Moment Captured But Not Forgotten

...Leisurely sat on a busy beach
A hive of noise and activity
A collage of shifting 
Shape and colour form
Just casually surveying the view

I felt the hot intense expanding rays Of the sun
Scorc...

A Quiet Sunday

...Since you don't feel the need
to write to me, I endlessly
type nonsensical words onto floating
electric clouds.
Since you won't phone me,
not even on a Sunday,
when in England, there is nothing...

The Lonely House Wife

...The lonely housewife was bored
So, she hopped into her fiery ford
Drink and danced all night
Then got into a fight
She tussled and gourd until she was floored...

Working the Shadows

...Under the cover of daylight, beneath the mill
and hustle of teaming crowds; a need
and a life-grinding poverty
swept her down a wrong way.

She strayed into streets so narrow
entered them as a ...

Fat, Juicy, and Sweet

...blood red 
forest green
China blue sky
pomegranate blooms
cling tight to trees
tussled by the breeze
pretty petals flutter away
budding bumps emerge
summer swells 
crimson, fat, juicy, and s...

A Solace For My Southern Land

...A flaming circle alighted on  
       fertile soils near a fig tree and 
             harbour of hope to savour
                  Struggles for freedom 

Love here was arrowed 
       steadfast...

Etched

..."I carry your heart with me (I carry it In my heart) I am never without you"
                               Quote - by E. E. Cummings


She stood against the tide and waded through,
Though taken...

A Murder of Crows

...Late commers snap beaky throats,
mug with angry complaints.

A gathering
of de-frocked preachers strut
and preen, a tussled foraging, 
hustle, and riot.

Up in the branches brothers caw and j...

A Whisper

...passionate kiss caught
soft sultry whisper in ear
tussled covers left...

A Motorcycle Ride

...there is nothing better
then the feel of
speed on a motorcycle

the wind whipping
through tussled hair

the freedom of choice 
to wear a helmet or not

and the occasional
slap on the face
...

Don'T Go Back To Sleep

...I asked myself why?
Why 3 in the morning?
At 2.59 A.M. I was inside a dream,
now I am inside a life.

I will have to go to the bathroom,
I return to my tussled bed.

Words fall into my mind:
...

Turbulence

...and then the wind 

took a deep breath

and exhaled gently


cradled the salt on the earth 

and the skin of her mind

touched and went as she could not

hold on to the soft caress

bu...

Pieces

...The return unseen, strangers to a home
Pieces fit so snugly, unsettling to think
Attempts at resistance, delayed responses
Hate clouds, above love's umbrella 
The echoes reveal, intention was rea...
