Ms Prose
The most disturbing slums
With many problems
About to face my clone
An open street I stood alone
Bounded by earlier defeat
Loud and clear I need not repeat
When the only thing that pops into the mind
Is also something you've to write
I got seduced by a beautiful maiden, who called herself Ms Prose..
We tied the knot in a shocking narrative of instant rise fall..
I have since removed the ring I need a divorce
I wrote the prose
I read and found it not so close
Am so depressed, tempted I should increase...

The Couple Allowed Her To Join Them
Elizabeth heard a noise outside.
She followed that noise to the river.
She spotted Charles humping Mary.
That made Elizabeth strip and touch herself.
The couple allowed her to join them.

Offering Myself To You
You can have me begging
And nasty on my knees
But not tonight, baby
Tonight I’m gonna be
The gift you give yourself
When no one’s watching
When shadows pirouette
And marionettes sacrifice their strings
I’m the peace love brings
Mmmmm
Lips searching, our bodies entwined
My fingers trace your skin, making crazy designs
The world outside our window is burning and crashing
But nothing ever felt so right
And here
On this apocalyptic night ...
And nasty on my knees
But not tonight, baby
Tonight I’m gonna be
The gift you give yourself
When no one’s watching
When shadows pirouette
And marionettes sacrifice their strings
I’m the peace love brings
Mmmmm
Lips searching, our bodies entwined
My fingers trace your skin, making crazy designs
The world outside our window is burning and crashing
But nothing ever felt so right
And here
On this apocalyptic night ...

And the answer is, no.
I am actually so tired.
Of being asked to come out.
Being asked if i've eaten today.
When my next relief shift is.
Have I jot working dates down
on a calendar. Do I want to do this.
Do I want to do that. What am I up to.
Being called up asking where I am.
People forgetting I said I won't be
home. Calling in a panic when I
explained the aforementioned
in a text message hours ago.
People constantly baying
for undivided attention.
sorry I don't wanna
hear it right now.

Your Shelter
this is your poem
written with love
i see your story
feel your scars
i will start a fire
guide you home
& warm you up
ease your pain
tracing ley lines
of forsaken ink
read your dark
deserted pages
hold your fears
wipe away your
tears & trust me
i won't let you go
let me build you
a forever home
and make it our
own sacral place
if you wish to stay
come hide with me
i promise you are safe
written with love
i see your story
feel your scars
i will start a fire
guide you home
& warm you up
ease your pain
tracing ley lines
of forsaken ink
read your dark
deserted pages
hold your fears
wipe away your
tears & trust me
i won't let you go
let me build you
a forever home
and make it our
own sacral place
if you wish to stay
come hide with me
i promise you are safe

At The Crossroads Of Life
Waiting For a New Day
Still i am a constant faithful
To the river, forest and mountain
To the route i ever take,
Winding pathways, daily trodden
And where the herds hit the road
When dawn slowly begins to heave
The dew then glistens in the light
Life awakes and stands once again
How can the mundane then understand?
Too long sleeping in the rotten bed
And the bustle-assaulted poor citizen
Feel my words while glued in his den???
Come up now, make your days fine
Make hay while the...

Spilling Sands
Time echoes aloft,
The hourglass spills,
silver grains falling soft.
Moments slide into the past,
Minutes now forever lost.
The clock ticks,
a heartbeat on the wall.
Gears turn without end,
Hands move forward,
never pausing,
never looking back.
Minutes slip through brass fingers.
Hours drift like whispers in the wind.
Rust creeps in,
but the gears still turn.
Time hums its endless song.

Deep Blue
With remnants of the silence deep in blue as a
shadow becomes my muse capturing my soul in
naked braille caressing her flesh of spiced
debauchery kissing her lips tasting insanity
down to her elbow of bones unzipping her corset
sticking to her vulva's Velcro with remnants
of the silence deep in blue
shadow becomes my muse capturing my soul in
naked braille caressing her flesh of spiced
debauchery kissing her lips tasting insanity
down to her elbow of bones unzipping her corset
sticking to her vulva's Velcro with remnants

An orange and white wig stand
Ignorance wandered
lost in the vast unknown.
Faith stood firm
as a beacon in the night.
They met by chance,
two souls adrift.
In the space between
no doubt and disbelief.
Ignorance questioned,
seeking answers,
Faith offered solace,
a gentle embrace.
Together they danced,
in the twilight
of misunderstanding.
Finding beauty
in their conveniences.
In their union,
an acrimony emerged.
A void that transcended
their indifferences.

When we are shifting energy
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️ what do you believe within your own thoughts and insight and imagination. For do you wish to make your life better than it's ever been, for do you have the ability and power to eliminate the negativity, and replace it with positivity. For sure we all have the ability to manifest that which we pray for in our lives and dreams. For do you believe in your dreams with a want and need, to sustain your own wishes for do you have the perseverance, to meet the challenges that will elevate you to your true spiritual potential. For do you...

Castles of the Forgotten
Castles of the Forgotten Shore
The wind shall shape the shifting sand,
In hills and valleys softly carved,
Children build, their castles grand,
A kingdom made with tender hands,
Where dreams are shaped by golden strands,
But waves will take them back to land.
The waves will take them back to land,
As wind blows softly through the sand.
The children’s dreams slip through their hands,
While castles crumble, soft and grand.
In silence, shadows fill the strands,
And all returns to sea and...

Where dreams are shaped by golden strands,
