POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
classic rhyming stuff been called a realism poet. No axes to grind, chips on shoulders un-found, just like the fun of writing stuff down, safe in the sanctuary here Deep Underground.
Time to hug a tree
Spring and summers bounty
Carved notches of the girls Iv'e mounted
For in that arboretum I have laid
And courted many a fair young maid
Laid a trail to my egos hide
For the bramble and wild rose
And taste the sweet dew that falls
The ruptured hymen of first intercourse
The fungi spore it grows
Its mushroom head in the night and dawn
My loins will emulate that rise
and keep those maids well satisfied
Saplings bend and blow around
my hardwood...

Flamenco #Frederico Garcia Lorca
Castanets, pulsing blood and coursing
Regina for the veins
Stabs a rhythm
Passion of ivory carved outlines
Deaths arrogance the haughtiness caresses
Cuban heels, hearts stamped crashendo
Puppetiers we danced
To winds that strummed
Plectrum on the strings of fate
Rat-ta-ta long fingers that gesticulate
Bare the beast of inuendo
Flames that lick from our flamenco
That we will kiss in love and hate
Regina for the veins
Stabs a rhythm
Passion of ivory carved outlines
Deaths arrogance the haughtiness caresses
Cuban heels, hearts stamped crashendo
Puppetiers we danced
To winds that strummed
Plectrum on the strings of fate
Rat-ta-ta long fingers that gesticulate
Bare the beast of inuendo
Flames that lick from our flamenco
That we will kiss in love and hate

Northern light
From the grey and clagging mist
For in that swirl a glimpse of bliss
Comes my idol poetess
A shaft of script through the fogs morass
Her words indent upon the heart
And spin a web to hold you fast
A view from where the eagle flies
Graceful in the updraught and the dive
With the grit of mother earth
Take you on a trascendental ride
Perspective only Gods have forged
Senses lifted to the clouds
From the forest archetypal echoes
Tales of ancestry tied to tomorrows
Elves and...

In the machine
Human but part automation
Platform that you play upon
PS4 thats home sweet home
Real life, all in there to load
Fantasy, reactions claws are sharpen
Doorstep quest that now swings open
All my characters, full of life
And push the play, adrenaline download we crave
Here we go driving with sound effects
In the war zone in the traffic
All the action it is frantic
Somthing with a sense of rush
Not lightweight like Candy Crush
Bored housewives with potato chips
Spin the roulette wheel to get their kicks ...

How strong your faith
Gods word was on the lithograph types face
Jesus born of love and grace
All and sundry welcomed in
For in that loom we were concieved
The lilac spin of warp and weft
Self's bright and beautiful portrayed
And brought up to the lakefront
Baptism splashing from that font
The lampblack of your sin denied
That stain, confession can dissolve
Beliefs luster, you prayed would not subside
For when our creed is swept and blown
Our levee of affirmations sound
For that bedrock was your labour
The shining cross its bright unmellowed ...

Loss (senryu)
Presence still if mimed
Aftermath wrote on my mind
Ink that never dried

Unborn needs
A pram full of empty cans
Expectations shattered plans
A foetal nether stethoscope
The ultrasound heard no noise
Baby shower invites, brought faded hope
Never a semester destended soon to bloat
Wishes all abridged and cursed amen
Lactose intolerance forced on you
An ask so great the need to breed
Feminine bare of entity
Moonscape months
Of morning sickness never showing up
And smile with teeth so clenched
Eaves-dropped empathy to detest
Mixed Formulae
When love as tried, and tried its best
Expectations shattered plans

Once soon
Teardrops are the melting polar caps
Oceans wrapped in clingfilm twice
Dandelion clock is ticking
Seeds of DNA's pretensions
A spiral of the world collapsing
Praying mantis has no faith
Insectacide has sealed it fate
Ground to hot for bare foot dancers
Bathe in waters steaming effervescence
A folicle and hair washing down the plug
The electron microscope its power cut
Put on the cap of dunce
Microcosm's of what we had once
Oceans wrapped in clingfilm twice
Dandelion clock is ticking
Seeds of DNA's pretensions
A spiral of the world collapsing
Praying mantis has no faith
Insectacide has sealed it fate
Ground to hot for bare foot dancers
Bathe in waters steaming effervescence
A folicle and hair washing down the plug
The electron microscope its power cut
Put on the cap of dunce
Microcosm's of what we had once

The baton
The orchestra it sits. assembled
Instruments not raised and ready
Chatter is the score the rising hububb
Now comes the conductor short and chubby
Comand the rostrum with his presence
Robes he wears, the suited elegance
He turns about with confidence
The upturned looks and baited breath
He holds the floor in a pregnant pause
With arms aloft the baton raised
All eyes await that downward progression
That stick hold each players to attention
They will follow as it dances
Rapid movements, slow cadenza
Speaking...

Carved
Alone just himself he walk city streets
Dark corners blind alleys
The traffic that beeps
Tower block residents going to sleep
Turn past the corner the cracked pavement chipped
Look over his shoulder to check behind
The blood now congealed where it flowed and it dripped
For that was the place he carved his first niche
The challenge "get" that shot on the phone
Instagram shared amongst all the scum
Street cred stand up and be one of them
Screams as the victim tried to inhale, laugh and escape
What is the score...

Instagram shared amongst all the scum
Street cred stand up and be one of them
Screams as the victim tried to inhale, laugh and escape
What is the score...
