So Inspired
No matter what life sends my way, I'm always thinking in the back of my mind (amidst the joy or fear) there must be a poem in here somewhere. I used to get caught writing poetry in different classes in school when I was supposed to be watching a film or listening to a lecture. My punishment in Humanities class was to stand up and read what I wrote to my classmates. Everyone knew I was on both the school newspsper staff and editor of 'Eclat, our literary magazine. So high school for me was in a very real sense fun and inspiring in itself. It was the sixties then and I was a so-called flower...

There is No Password
Flying under the radar
Off course on purpose
Blackened wings
Off the grid
If you want to find me
There is no password
But there is a code
Remember what I told you
My protectors are none
My allies have faded
My course is clear
New frontiers await
Off course on purpose
Blackened wings
Off the grid
If you want to find me
There is no password
But there is a code
Remember what I told you
My protectors are none
My allies have faded
My course is clear
New frontiers await

something to offer
i want
to
reach out
and offer
you something,
but
i have
nothing
to give
except
a few
words,
some poetry
i wrote
while thinking
of you,
but,
it doesn't
even rhyme.

Floating Down a Silver Sea
Oh Lord
Break mine stone
And lay me deep
Upon open floors
Of vulgarities of open casket gawking hoards
A fever,
fever of open doors
I know you were with me once before
On a breathless morning
Floating down a silver sea
Filled with energy
Filled with energy
Floating down a silver sea
And white with fire
Guided by the stars
Casketed off the walls
Black cosmic desires
Hidden with white fire
Floating down silver seas
Filled with energy
Fill my days with sunny skies
Fill my...
Break mine stone
And lay me deep
Upon open floors
Of vulgarities of open casket gawking hoards
A fever,
fever of open doors
I know you were with me once before
On a breathless morning
Floating down a silver sea
Filled with energy
Filled with energy
Floating down a silver sea
And white with fire
Guided by the stars
Casketed off the walls
Black cosmic desires
Hidden with white fire
Floating down silver seas
Filled with energy
Fill my days with sunny skies

ACROSTIC - LABIA
Lower lips,
Artfully aroused,
Blood-infused, burn
Intensely in
Anticipation!

Damage For A Noggin
Damage for a noggin.
Scanning earthen objects.
Amateurs with nonsense.
Planet merk, accosting.
Random words are spotted.
Planning verses bargains.
Banded verbs when blogging.
Ban your worth up off this.
Man, I'm sure the hottest.
Hamburger or sausage.
Manager, McDonald's.
Nana - work it often.
Janitor in office.
Karats cure my jaundice.
Scrambled service, pockets.
Gank your merch and wallet.
Have you heard the hostage?
That's incurring haunting.
Daring curses...

It’s not where you’re from, it’s where you’re at
We drive through flats
that are more grime
than home
it’s where we’re at—
at the supermarket
where yellow stickers
dishonour good food
in a way it doesn’t deserve.
There were two food banks
on the way
but it’s exactly
where we’re at
filling a trolley to a tenth
of its capacity until
a stomach reminds
a human how little
the body needs
to survive
.
.
.
I struck gold today.

When Ink Is Thicker Than Blood
'A fantasy Poem''
All those waters are never enough for me
My heart conceals the biggest mysteryS
Sharing it with my own self's intimacy
Which is the very inkwell of my poetry
So, let me delight in my inky hideaway
It is there where i've ever yearned to stay
Far from human eye, from any heart that chimes
From any sentiment, that may alter my rhymes
A am a metrical cadence, a foot with Mood
I take this form, flexible like bamboo wood
No rule...

Parson's nose, Rose, Mary and some Time
I find it difficult remembering stuff
and my brain developed a way to cope
for example Basil could be found
in Faulty Towers and Coriander
found in Coronation street...
Parsley could be teased from Song
which I'd sift through to also find
Sage, Rosemary and Thyme.
Sorrel could be found in Cowboy Films
just don't ask me why. In the same vein
Chervil was hid in the Three Musketeers.
Tarragon has great virtue.
Dill developed into something Risque. ...

human intervention
nothing is sacred,
which why you should treat everything
kindly, like you are its God.
