By battle's end, the Darkening was lost.

The golden Scythe of Jaffa,
imbued with a lust for souls,
was cast into the throat of the beast,
with all eyes aglare to see,
as its power to devour
did as it was meant to do.

Dagoth Ur, stood abashed
as the scythe clawed his soul away,
consuming it fully from his heart
and banishing it deeply
into the mouth of the sea.

he was suspicious
she laid there supine
her inaction was confusing
it did not compute with what she had been saying
what she had lead him to believe
he was beguiled by her earlier behaviour
now he was wondering what it was all about

see them gather around
a burning effigy of Bob the builder
or some other symbol of ancient sect
thrown together to relieve
a god given need to exert dominion
and who knows,  given the right alignments
there could be the makings
of a brand new opiate for masses


question,  crimp,  succint

poet Anonymous

the crimp on free emotion has rendered apathy
the new god
I don't question the depths although the surface
is murky and everybody is too quick
to give a succinct summary on the demise of humanity

acoustical gravity

papery moon
pasted in flat plains
of an yellowish ennui
stripped off its foppery glow
got pretty naked
in lively pain-cratered reality  
falling down
to the heart-out barks
of a desert(ed) auburn dog

Josh was blonde, a straggler,
my Grandad said a man who covered his eyes with hair couldn't be trusted.
He hadn't seen the world yet wanted a taste of it
particularly of the fairer sex
still too young and timid to know what that entailed.
The boy wore black,
smoked American cigarettes,
reminded me of the Kings of Leon before they'd arrived.
His temper was short, that of the single mother lads, I've found.
He wanted and I followed, that was the way of it.
Outside his mother's on the balcony, cigarette in hand he undid the zipper,
he wanted everything,
now.
My world felt as if it were falling in, a constantly collapsing atlas.
It's known that sex is always unpleasant for the girl first time,
I pondered.

downtown, in an old dusty bookshop
with a couch, a coal fire
and a coffee machine in the corner

there's a guy at the counter
trying to get value
on a first edition Hemingway
says six hundred
is a bit much for his pocket

said he'd rather read it
on a couch by the fire
pay for the coffee
and sink into a stillness
for a couple of days

She dug a hole for herself
The walls of it whittled away
By the driving rain
Now it's a trench
Her position untenable

couldn't help
but be distracted
by the broad back
of a great white elephant

upon  which sat a jubilant sprite

who read aloud
from a secular script

then sang
of how elephants
can be like bolting horses

when mice make mischief

The pontoon was, as it always had been
A wreck of timber that didn't look safe
She was surprised to see it still here after all these years

As a scamp of a kid she use to run on it
Then jump into the lake with squeals of laughter

After a Annus Horribilis health wise
She takes Korean ginseng to boost
What little energy she has

Cognitive dissonance

The implications are massive
but their not so big
they'd be eclipsing Andromeda
but its best choose vocabulary well
or keep chattering incessantly
what the hell, either way
there'll be blood

run, but before you do
hold on
if only for a year or two

Throughout my life
Tarot, divining in some way
Plays a part
The message is usually a silver lining
In dark stormy clouds
Which in hindsight would have
Been good to follow
If I wasn't so headstrong

give the lady an ovation
in-fact
give them all one
they deserve it

[ even the lesbians]

[oh, and all the gender's variations]


give rapturous applause

clap like a chimpanzee

smile like a natzi on pizza duty  

[ ok, scratch that, ..it's a bit heavy for the scene I'm trying to set]

stamp your feet
like an epileptic on cocaine and ecstasy  
[in a night club with flashing lights]

[...obviously]

wow, this was supposed to be a proposition
but it leaned towards observation
then outright wobbled
onto massive generalization

so, fingers crossed
I can get to my three words
without anymore    
faux pas
or other minor indiscretions

LOL....enjoyed reading that one Craic....


she was soaked to the skin
not with rain but with gin
some smart arse thought it'd be fun
to stun her as she passed
the hue and cry that arose
was enough for them to pose
the question they desired to ask
was it remiss of her to pose nude
with such a big arse?

E. B  Chronic
pimped up his copula
with heat lamps and sprinklers  
so he could grow money

{the idea'd come
from an odd recrimination
aimed at an immigrant  
and fired by a bootleg detective
}

motion,  graduate,  singular
