POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Gold
A woman's blood is gold
Man's blood is black
When they meet
In twisted dark stabbing
They spill, mix and run
Down young lovers backs
And remember
After the blood runs cold
The unbelievable instant
When the golden one bleeds
Happens along with
Man's stygian seed
For when two become one
It's an evil matter indeed
Man's blood is black
When they meet
In twisted dark stabbing
They spill, mix and run
Down young lovers backs
And remember
After the blood runs cold
The unbelievable instant
When the golden one bleeds
Happens along with
Man's stygian seed
For when two become one
It's an evil matter indeed

Marco Polo
Silk purses, silk roads
heaven scent, western gold
Salt scales, fish scales
Weighed spice gun powder
Cannon balls, bible canon
Fabled winding honey wagon
Pilgrim slaves healing salves
Easten cloth holy grails
Fir mountain, bearskin fur
craggy snow desert dune
Paper weights, paper tigers
Horses, camels, stony miles
Winding paths, winding wheels
Wine casks perfumed moons
Bandits, plagues, broken deals
Green jade, jaded travel
Days, months, years unravel

Karma
Karma is not so simple as this
Just desserts
Just imaginary wish
Don't say it's a bitch
Karma's invisible kiss
Breathless
Never beholden
In a universe broken
So don't come round invoking
And poking the morals
You enrolled in
Just desserts
Just imaginary wish
Don't say it's a bitch
Karma's invisible kiss
Breathless
Never beholden
In a universe broken
So don't come round invoking
And poking the morals

Immolation
Slice
A sacrifice
Tonight
The time is right
The moon is bright
The Gods will listen to the last gasps of life
Accept the gory price
Writ in rivulets of blood
pink as purple loosestrife
Rising like a flood
Staining grey stone
Standing circles alone
Counting crushed bones the chosen one moans
Fortelling long winter, famine, war
and corpses fly blowen
A sacrifice
Tonight
The time is right
The moon is bright
The Gods will listen to the last gasps of life
Accept the gory price
Writ in rivulets of blood
pink as purple loosestrife
Rising like a flood
Staining grey stone
Standing circles alone
Counting crushed bones the chosen one moans
Fortelling long winter, famine, war
and corpses fly blowen

Winters day to night
I so love the dead of winter
A world alone and full of grief
Empty, colourless and overcast
The shadowland of tree husks
In drifts of shrouded mists
Its a place that falls away below my weary feet
Down to meadows dank and sad and wet
I stroll in melancholy drizzle
Driven by a cold north wind
Stinging me with drops of polar ice
That stabs of pure frost burning
The sun is always hidden
Afraid of dusk closing in
I stay out as it comes
The friend to lonely murk
Comforted by the blackness
of the claustrophobic dark ...

Flowers
Flowers have voices, they sing in the morning
As the sun touches their soft petels
Eager for life, joined chorus above
All the colours are part of the verse
In gardens of tender care
Along wild and deserted hills
They reach for the sky to give voice
Spectrum of colour a gospel hymn
Each pigment a story so free in the moment
Tell to the creatures that live in the forest
shout pollen, nectar, richness and honey
Or long blooms will lament wind to blow
through dangling, murmuring catkins
Many hued wavelengths speak as one
on...

I came down to this world in a lighting crash
Then traveled through walls, pavements
Power lines and railway tracks
I crawled through the creases in earth
Then gathered up hair, dust motes
Dead skin, and spun into birth
I walk the streets in the now of time
Then explored pain, anger, love
in the city of sorrow and grime
I found the link to another galaxy
Then betrayed the others, my kind
The all spanning alchemy
I keep watch on the Goldilocks sun
Prepare for star burst, cosmic strings
The threads of...

Encased
I felt my soul, my essence
As a spark so deep inside
Enclosed in a thick pulp
That reacts to the world outside
The real me you cannot see
So glorious and true
But this facade is not so real
Just rotten corrupt tissue
Today I strip off the plasticine mold
That restricts and gags my joy
totally free to be anything
That the earth cannot destroy
As a spark so deep inside
Enclosed in a thick pulp
That reacts to the world outside
The real me you cannot see
So glorious and true
But this facade is not so real
Just rotten corrupt tissue
Today I strip off the plasticine mold
That restricts and gags my joy
totally free to be anything
That the earth cannot destroy

Chase
Chasing the dragon
in a sexual way
Pumping much harder
in our kinky ballet
Sinuous writhing
reach for the tail
One final thrust
to clasp holy grail
Unleash pale fire
The dragon will roar
Shuddering mess
all over the floor
in a sexual way
Pumping much harder
in our kinky ballet
Sinuous writhing
reach for the tail
One final thrust
to clasp holy grail
Unleash pale fire
The dragon will roar
Shuddering mess
all over the floor

Lost space
I never bumped you that link
I saw that you slid me that page
To look at, you know that
architectural crazy ink
I said I never liked
So I checked you out
After many long delays
clicked on your account
Profile picture you portray
Tired fingers, screen bright
Flickering ripples deep in night
didn't really want to look
Now your bold face turned to me
A few years older
Haven't changed and I see
You still wearing off the shoulder
So kitsch across the electric ether
Are you following me?
Lost contacts...

Why?
Why is me, and why is I?
I've come so close and seen so far
To live and breath in times capsule
To piss and shit in one smooth action
My dreams awake in nights static
Days are triggered motion madness
Spaces filled with life and colour
Tumour spread in plastic bubbles
Trauma of the world's trouble
Slaving for the greedy dollar
Why is us, and why are we?
Never close and never see
I've come so close and seen so far
To live and breath in times capsule
To piss and shit in one smooth action
My dreams awake in nights static
Days are triggered motion madness
Spaces filled with life and colour
Tumour spread in plastic bubbles
Trauma of the world's trouble
Slaving for the greedy dollar
Why is us, and why are we?
Never close and never see

Castle
Misty fog sinking low
Above a watery meadow
Then terraced stone, gravel path
Old chestnut tree split in half
A buzzard swoops in wooded grove
Badger holes where they dug and rove
Wild garlic then autumn leaves
Summer shrubs and flowering trees
Cow parsley tall in the shade
Watching the sun start to fade
Ducking through the arched tunnel
Listen to birdsong sound so subtle
Summer fountain rainbow spray
Flower heads in wind that sway
Lead Glass reflecting strange shapes
Of past footsteps leading to fate
In...
