I SAW HER RIDE (LADY GODIVA BY PEEPING TOM)
I saw her ride,
legs to one side,
nothing to hide
amid the street,
while the discreet
let not eyes meet.
Her long thick hair
covered her, bare,
to derriere.
She sat upright
in the dim light
as day met night.
No more I saw -
my eyes went sore
sight did withdraw.
I'd been struck blind,
things could not find.
Guilt seared my mind.

No more I saw -

sight did withdraw.
I'd been struck blind,

Shakshuka
Tomatoes bubbled gently
fragranced with warm spices
touch of chile, just enough garlic
scented familiarity drifted through the house
beckoning his old bones
to the kitchen
His aged heart recalled
mother making this meal often
before they emigrated
it was the first supper she prepared
in a new home
in a strange land
Sarah, his older sister
could make it almost the same
and she served it to comfort
when mother died too few years later
His wife's was different
yet still the taste of home
...

stormy
sunlit cobwebs in a room at noon
the day cast odd shadows on my dreams
my mind was quiet but moody
the day stretched and uttered be lazy with me
I slouched in my chair but the restlessness in my thoughts wouldn't silence
there were no direct answers to the questions I pose the day
madness storm in the background brewing as the usual suspect
I wondered where she came from and where she went after she departed
deep within me I imagined
I've been trying to find comfort in the afterlife
and I pondered when my soul popped out of my body...

Sky Prism
Pastel curtains hung in the midnight hour
are brushed by the drops as Elysium’s
palette weeps. Pale moonlight prisms through
the night sky and is set on the most perfect canvas.
Rhiannon wears her vale and it shimmers
as she dances in celebration of the night.
Her rhythmic promenade spins through the
universe and courts the gleaming stars.
Love exists in the balance, strung somewhere
between where heaven meets the earth.
Storied ballads, rhymed in verses sung by
sinners and saints, reverberate in the silence.

In another time and place
Neath glowing moons
Star studded depths
And aurora skies
Through meadows green
Toward ocean’s crest I rise
Light footed, dancing free to find
Your tall form behind
With reaching hands to guide
My heart home
Star studded depths
And aurora skies
Through meadows green
Toward ocean’s crest I rise
Light footed, dancing free to find
Your tall form behind
With reaching hands to guide
My heart home

life hacks with a two year old
They only tell you useless things
when you're about to become a parent
like how little sleep you'll get
and how your sex life will disappear
as though you're not savvy enough
to realise babies take work
They tell you about the terrible twos
about tantrums and attitude
and how you'd happily give them back
on the bad days, if they weren't so damn cute
They don't tell you about the joys of potty training
and how in one week of trying
your two year old
will piss in everything from your shoes
to a duplo...

Dreamland
The sandman pays a visit
In the dark of the night
To take me off to dream land
As my eyes shut tight
I begin to drift away
Thoughts clear from my head
I'm whisked off to a new world
As my body lies safe in bed
In this place I feel free
My mind starts to mend
No misery, stress or pain here
It's a shame it'll soon end
I wish I could stay
But the alarm clock rings
My eyes slowly peel open
Now the nightmare begins
In the dark of the night
To take me off to dream land
As my eyes shut tight
I begin to drift away
Thoughts clear from my head
I'm whisked off to a new world
As my body lies safe in bed
In this place I feel free
My mind starts to mend
No misery, stress or pain here
It's a shame it'll soon end
I wish I could stay
But the alarm clock rings
My eyes slowly peel open
Now the nightmare begins

damascus blade
Hyper-sonic respiration
Inter-coded aspiration
High floating conversation
Cross lapping designation...
Inner sanctum laced in soot
Outer court ground to the root
Time frame intertwine
Sun spot blew your mind...
Pull the cord to stop the train
Raise the cloud to make it rain
Black box the speech included
Make a gun to never shoot it...
Fist of rage the worker raised
Bring the gold the prime display
Speak in tongue on Easter day
Spinning top the earth in...

My Dreams
I lost my teeth eating your sugary sweets. Resetting my dreams. Slowly reviving my dreams. My heart is shattering while I am taking your advice. My bell is ringing on my mark. I drank some blue liquid and I feel dizzy. Time to burn my childhood memories. Equally sharing this cake. Trying to escape this dimension of hate. I flushed my dreams down the toilet.

The Pigs
In the fun warehouse, the pigs were
Dying and you wouldn't kiss me.
I left you to the beautiful blond and brunette
Who mashed their lips against yours
And congratulated your success.
I knew I was groggy as I wandered
The fun house. I was searching for your
Replacement frantically to try to dispel
The pain. But suddenly the crowd was
Only interested in the pigs.
The pigs were brought in alive
But their heads had already been sliced open.
They looked up at me with bewildered eyes
As I ran from room to room, hoping...
Dying and you wouldn't kiss me.
I left you to the beautiful blond and brunette
Who mashed their lips against yours
And congratulated your success.
I knew I was groggy as I wandered
The fun house. I was searching for your
Replacement frantically to try to dispel
The pain. But suddenly the crowd was
Only interested in the pigs.
The pigs were brought in alive
But their heads had already been sliced open.
They looked up at me with bewildered eyes
As I ran from room to room, hoping...

Spinning Plates
Once upon a time,
there lived a plate spinner.
Providing the momentum
to keep the plates moving
gave her purpose,
comfort and joy.
Although her life was busy,
she thrived for years
and would happily add more plates
whenever life required it.
Until one day,
she fell—
and all her plates
crashed
down
on
top
of
her
there lived a plate spinner.
Providing the momentum
to keep the plates moving
gave her purpose,
comfort and joy.
Although her life was busy,
she thrived for years
and would happily add more plates
whenever life required it.

she fell—
and all her plates
crashed
down
