Hooded horde
Sultriness that lies part hidden
stimulates unerplayed enormity, part broken lips
caverns lying waiting, expectations juces brimmed
vermillion lips and ivory skin
a hooded horde of secrets
black honeyed lace, and whiffs of sin
a halter waits across her breasts
is clasp unfastened at the stallions rise
black cape disrobed to nakedness
with hooded hordes of passions smitten
stimulates unerplayed enormity, part broken lips
caverns lying waiting, expectations juces brimmed
vermillion lips and ivory skin
a hooded horde of secrets
black honeyed lace, and whiffs of sin
a halter waits across her breasts
is clasp unfastened at the stallions rise
black cape disrobed to nakedness
with hooded hordes of passions smitten

On the skyward elevator
Put down the pale stick
Ceased the tap and the click
Felt the jet pack on my back
could I fly unattached
carried aloft
for if you are blind, left one sense behind
a firmament behind closed blinds
whispered braille, felt it lift the dark veil
dissolving menthol lozenges, that canopy invade my core
images defined, paint on the blank mind
carried aloft on the song of a bird
as Eros was lifted before he returned
as the pull of a kite that tugs on your hands
escape terra firma, free gravities clamp
imagination free...

Springtimes letter
Springtime’s letter
Arrived like the unexpected letter
with the date stamp smudged
lost in the blizzard of the winters
confusion, meant lost or delayed? to find its way and lift the
senses, expected visit from a friend
like reading heartfelt words warming my core
standing in the weak sun, by patio doors
the hawthorns confetti
came like the postman’s drop
startles! like the bark of the dog
as I read on, the ink turning green with budding leaves,
tinted with yellow primroses and daffodils
hues of blue violets and...

The blue alien
The blue alien
If ever there was an alien form
Blue jellyfish sailing around in swarms
They floated from down on parachutes
Millions of years hence to land in the gloop
Founding, a habitat
In the muddy dark morass
They held a secret long unknown
The envy of all living forms
The gift of perpetuity
to clone, gain longevity
retrace the steps from death to birth
reproduce, and then disperse
transparency so complex
Medusa a Gorgon an unearthly flesh
Just aliens waiting with just one swish
Holding the grail to...

Mothers day card
As I read the heartfelt words
tears soon welled, emotions stirred
those times I never bade farewell
springtime`s grape and vintage brewed
constancy to share, past times reviewed
embossed with notes
warm jewelled quotes
swallowed hard
the day it means more than a card
parts of our hearts with best regards
in the womb of nurturs gift
conception that persists
was the champaign day at best
prima mater stood on the peak of Everest
stamp affixed to a pink envelope
family close or spread remote
unspoken words whose...

A poet’s nightmare (Poem 6 syllables per line incorporating those suggested in the brief list)
Intentions direction
Did cause, apprehension
Possessive affection
To make an impression
I saw just perfection
Was I the exception?
Potential contending
For romance unending
Wrong side of discretion
Exposed my intention
Suppression frenetic
Investment synthetic
Embezzled possession
Tomorrows contention
Holds a Replenished torch
Endeavour takes its course
Suspended feelings
Begettal now kneeling
My lonely Incessance
Bereft of a presence
Deflected...

When the cock crows thrice LUKE22:34
The callous lie
when Jesus was himself denied
the tolling bell
where falsehood dwells
its cry to wring the conscience
and to so compy
for that denial once declared
laid the warer bare
do you know this man they asked?
replied a "NO" that sounded crass
his heart was gutted, and head so bowed
tears enough in torrents flowed
his faith was questioned thrice
so listen for the "crow" is my advice
hold your faith in our saviour Christ
came Peters shame and soiled reputation
the lesson hold our own...

My words will eventually devour me: Father
I hold the tool within my mind
it poisions and cannot be confined
my prayer they fall through heavens floor
the devil waits and sweeps them towards
the caldrons roar
the tempest churn within my all
self harm its eating like zombie worms
the empty ear, departed care
pages with a bloody tear
and bleed without pubicity
love so close, hate to choke
my own ode, a last discorse
I hold the tool within my mind

Killer Heels (worn by my alter ego)
Vain statements they just lie in wait
Proclaimed platforms doubled as a pair
Their audaciousness won’t hesitate
Firey steps the wearer dares.
Bring power as you strike a pose!
Raised expectations, as your worlds a stage
Makes you walk with a brandished vouge.
For their effect can’t be assuaged
An elevation that is not just physical
From the ground floor up, on the radar
For their effect are somehow mythical
Brave Foothold for the shining crusader
Skyscraper heels make the ego fly
Her red soles by...

Force of nature!
Its soothing touch, it breathed into my very pores
in its nurcher, fed and clothed, kept me warm.
When I wandered lost, whispered as it held me close
fought with demons, fended with each root and branch
and watercourse, rekindled me thro grief and depression`s
vale, I hold its wonderment and precious smiles detail
in its nurcher, fed and clothed, kept me warm.

Loves alchemy (sonnet)
What torment beats within? its whisper leaks
your lips covey and eyes that are the wells
I in desolation seek, you to entreat
the alchemy to bind your heart with spells
Could we in scented gardens hold a trist?
in levitation, bare buds to sweetly bloom
comely, a bee doth court, nectar sweet it sips
to find thee and persue, I so was consumed
Oh! are my hopes just foolish vanity
a knave, unwothy to face a knightly quest
an amulete or charm, star dazed astrology
hold the key, and cupid try his best
