Twitches Poems

Dwell I in a Conjuration

...Curled as when unborn,
In amnionic ignorance,
Chaos drifts to outer vacuum,
Flown out to nothing lands.
Left in stillness are but blinks,
Flicks of twitches, nightmare flashes;
The molten shado...

Magic Rabbit

...
A funny-looking bunny dropped by the other day
black white and brown fur a stray who'd lost his way
and
he let me hand-feed him with carrot tops
and spinach leaves but that is ...

The Fallen

...I feel like you pushed me over the edge.
When I fell though, you fell with me.
We fell for weeks baby.
Being in your arms felt like heaven.
Everything I had ever dreamed of.
As I was on the bott...

DAVID : Sculpture : Michelangelo: Florence : 1501

...  “Sweet is my sleep, but more to be mere stone,
so long as ruin and dishonour reign ;
to bear nought, to feel nought, is my great gain ;
then wake me not, speak in an undertone !”
 ...

A Deer Stalks

...
Night stampedes wind-horses.
I edgily negotiate the sharp corners
of swerving shadows.

The hind hoof of a doe
slaps the reflection of my startled face,
the Chevy twitches, plows on -...

Abarent Behavior

...
I blink at light that isn’t there,
And speak to shadows on the stair.
My meals are clocks, my sleep is wrong—
I hum one phrase all evening long.

The mirror twitches when I grin,
A second sel...

Invisible

...The pain increases every day
bit by bit, I have no say
I do what I can to ease it all
but it’s been a real long-haul

from cramping feet to head in a vice
swollen fingers, no paradise
aching h...

Sense of the End

..."You're as beautiful as the day I lost you."

The sky is as blue as the day we said goodbye
My heart is as heavy as it was when we said our last I love you
My taste buds taste something as sweet ...

Undergrowth with Two Figures-Van Gogh

...This is no Eden
Yet the mirror is perceived 
Lush tangle of undergrowth
Army of bare, crooked trees
Who formed thee in madness
Has blown fetid breath
Stirring twitches and jerk...

Phyllo

...Phyllo 

Sweet taste of baclava.
Drizzled honey.
Crunchy walnuts.
Hint of nutmeg.
Warmed to delicate crispness.

My mouth waters.
Eyes light with delight.
Nose twitches in anticipation.

A Study in Charatcer

...A Study in Character

My aunt…. 
wears jewellery that winks as she walks
and she always has a sharp, shivery look
that you pay attention to …just in case!
She makes the world around her nervous...

Gerryatrics

..."Gerryatrics"


She can do sumbersalts 
Leg splits and twisted 
Twitches but doesn't 

Need to be 
An acrobat

As a matter 
Of fact it's 
Exactly 

That that 
I admire 


She has

'Smarty-pants'

...
    ‘smarty-pants’
       too big for his britches

    kept his audience
       in virtual stitches

    on the road from rags to riches
       ran into some unforeseen glitches

Crazy Eyes

...It's been four years since I submitted my last poem, I was only one year into my addiction to methamphetamine. I'm currently five years in and boy oh boy do I have some perspective to give

Clouds

...Time has buried itself too deep,
it forces eras to push
tall mountains around yet more
towering stacks.

The dung beetle is enslaved
by an unwavering purpose and labor.
A feverish Sisyphus twi...
