Addiction
At a time in the not too distant future
A tale unfolds, of a love quite peculiar
A dark-haired girl, bright and fair as the day
Fell in love with her smartphone, a new bond made
Her eyes like glowing sapphires, a gaze so sweet
Yet fixated on her phone, she'd laugh and weep
A connection so strong, so immense
Her love for the device grew more intense
In cafes and parks, they'd sit together
Her phone and her, like birds of a feather
She'd wrap it in cases, adorned with care
So engrossed was she, onlookers would stare ...

EROTIC POEM

Intimacy
Love flows within us and between
Palpable to both, yet unseen
Threads that coil and radiate
Binding us as one in shared fate
As essence blends we feel the source
Of sublime energising life-force
We move then with nature’s rhythm
Cherishing gifts we’ve been given
Questing for mutual delight
Passionate release comes this night
As we embrace the love we share
And revel in its tender care
Palpable to both, yet unseen
Threads that coil and radiate
Binding us as one in shared fate
As essence blends we feel the source
Of sublime energising life-force
We move then with nature’s rhythm
Cherishing gifts we’ve been given
Questing for mutual delight
Passionate release comes this night
As we embrace the love we share
And revel in its tender care

Conundrum
Sassy lass,
would you assent
To a mad man
making a pass?
Assessing the classy
assets of your hourglass
As he ran his hands
up your crevasse?
A massive blast?
Or by contrast
The crass harassment
of a badass?

Putting a Dampner on the Empathy
I’m sorry I was away when you
Called round to deliver my sister
That ribboned scroll
Containing and professing your love
Note...
Thanks you for following up with a text
Yes, I can be around first thing
Tomorrow morning
To repair your accordion
Will you be well enough to
Receive my visit then?

Stamping Out Crimes
If a crow is inherently good
How might it be improved?
If a relic from the past
Bytes us on the ass
Then bashes us into submission
What there a point to the mission?
Let’s do trade in war stories...
Some return in body bags
While others fight on
Selling us how to live
Lest we forget
Blank the post-modern is in
It’s the new black
Class, turn to page 5 of today’s lesson

Meal of this Delicacy

Kentucky Fried Chicken
It just so happens that I got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning.
I had been lying, prone and dead to the world, when all of a sudden, and to my complete dissatisfaction, I was awoken by a loud, self-serving ‘Top of the Morning to You’ aimed directly at me. It was coming from an easterly direction, from behind the neighbour’s fence. I knew who the culprit was immediately, for it was none other than that retard cockerel, Foghorn Leghorn.
I needed to get the Hell out of my room, so I slipped on a freshly starched White Collar, and staggered outside, with my...

Dark Light
When the poetic voice calls, do not fear
Simply listen and let the words draw near
Though language may seem insufficient
Through effort, we become proficient
Life may be grim, our hearts calloused
But within us, creativity is housed
Awaken to the present, and allow
New potential in this moment now
Use your hands, your ears, and your eyes
Perceive radiance that shines and never dies
Though we may struggle through a cloudy veil
The cause of strife is ignorance, may it not prevail
All who seek refuge in...

The Fear
Late at night on a crisp cool eve
She rouses briefly to perceive
A ghostlike man resting in bed
Book in hand, bowing his head
He glances up toward the girl
With a smile ever so wistful
Tears escape her bright blue eyes
For she, in dream, has crossed the skies
To be with this perfect man
Contrary to space-time convention
With an air of catlike grace
Approaching him, closing the space
She joins with him to rest
Lithe fingers spread across his chest
...
