Been deemed as not enough
Faces plastered and glued
With artificial,  unnatural stuff

False eyelashes glued on
The length of camels plus some 
Faces orange ...

A Poet's Prayer

In love
I keep coming back
to this place in the hope
I'll hear your voice,
feel your presence settle
the evening and draw closer
in the scented air.
Already spring has fired the furnaces

October Streetwise Plot

windows creak open, spritely faces gleam,
cheerful air burgeoning, no need to frown,
sweet fragrant coffee dock, a gust of hot steam,
just rejoice as the h...

The Pompous Ceremony

...The lightly fizzing mood
I've felt all day
and fenced within a grin
is at odds 
with the stoppered
solemnity of this pompous 
ceremony I've had to attend
and is becoming harder 
to hold, slow...

Hats Off To Cats

...For National Cat Day, October 29, 2022

Egyptians worshipped and revered them;
Superstitious people feared them;
When wicked witches commandeered them,
They rode on brooms and sometimes steered ...

Fear of Death

...Fear of death shadows me like clouds of rain.
When fiercely I indulge in deeds so worth;

Vampire

...Visiting late at night
Vladimir Dracula
Ventures into the dark
Vault where his victim sleeps.
Violins softly play. 
Veneered fangs bite on a
Vein in the maiden’s neck.

Magna Veritas

...Mightier than fibs and sharp swords, 
Manacled truth will with time prevail
Against high peak and gigantic vale, 
And glossed lips' deodorized words. 

Sharper than lucre's nectared studs
Stabs...

Black Night

..."You don't belong here!"
They said. 
They doubted the authenticity 
Of my identity. 
Black night bade me come in, 
Provided I sang a song. 
Paroxysms of regret filled my song; 
The monotonous ...

Scare of No Man Ain'T No Louse Cuz She's a Brick House-

Muscles of steel, well veneered bulk stature, ( You go girl)
Keeper of a strong will in a race runs faster
She’s a lot, don’t need a man;
B...

Too Late To Cry

My Persona

Today I built myself a Persona,
My Identity has become a façade,

Traffic white noise backgrounded,
Sara dozes and dreams of life long ago
When she was young, so young.

She is dancing the jitterb...

My Cousin Chaos

...We lived in our ancestral bungalow
                            Three generations veneered each other
