of friendship & acquaintance (a journal entry of visions)
1.
this first letter
posted to the queen
needing to protect her tea
seen floating through
Cape Town, where
Atlantic oceans kissed
the Indian sea
2.
relationships built in pain,
tears, broken hearts,
grease under finger nails,
walks through mountains
transporting water in pales.
3.
life is not easy
there's enough street in your blood
to know sacrifice
enough tear in your make up
to preach suffering
4.
placing christmas cards
on a mantelpiece
for candle fire ...

Ode to Stephen King (If It Bleeds)
I dreamt I spoke to the element of the dark
Brought my sharpen blades and my Holy Oil for any movement that larks
I heard a voice harken, so I had to see
Oh, you are the one who people talk about as being a Stephen King wanna be
Hum… I told the dark I will bite your broken ass you come barking up my tree
And you know this old man, once a Knight beheaded by my hands
Blocked, and quartered after the...

spring fever
there are always things
waiting to get done ...
but, the sun is shining
and I chose to dance on her rays
kissing flowers
watching light drip
warm honey
on blades of sweet grass
curving over tree buds
waiting to burst
their re-birth imminent
sway of the trees
casting shadows
ground covered
in floral confetti
bees buzzing
surrounded by so much
sweetness
birds tranquil
singing on
swaying limbs
sensual spring
how you lure me ...
waiting to get done ...
but, the sun is shining
and I chose to dance on her rays
kissing flowers
watching light drip
warm honey
on blades of sweet grass
curving over tree buds
waiting to burst
their re-birth imminent
sway of the trees
casting shadows
ground covered
in floral confetti
bees buzzing
surrounded by so much
sweetness
birds tranquil
singing on
swaying limbs
sensual spring

I've Got Status (Thanks To DUP)
I don't like to brag
but I've got status
I'm an old-timer here
I may be old-school
but I'm no fool
So this is how
dark it is
here in the deep
the deep underground
the view is complete
When I need to write
Everything else stops
There's nothing
I can't drop
Put off or delay anyway
It's always been true
that's the way I am
So the deep underground
Is where it's at
Get my learning and schooling
(I ain't fooling)
but I've got status
I'm an old-timer here
I may be old-school
but I'm no fool
So this is how
dark it is

the deep underground
the view is complete
When I need to write
Everything else stops
There's nothing
I can't drop
Put off or delay anyway
It's always been true

Explosive mind
Tactical rhymes spun out of subliminal minds,
find desires to unload venomous lines subconscious twists assisting with the words that I'm listing,
insisting on coming out,
overload begins to expose the possibility to implode
as thoughts mix together and begin to corrode,
leaking past memories of stories once told,
thoughts that have been locked away begin to unfold,
propelling emotional issues that are hard to control.

Back from the Dead
and maybe that’s the set back with the internet
News will travel quick without proof or verification
Before we know it we may be the subject of a rumor
Making the truth from the lie harder to distinguish
Whether it’s a mistake or done with ill intent
Not having the facts can certainly cause some grief
But with anonymity it’s difficult to be definite
And the information will spread faster than the wind
News will travel quick without proof or verification
Before we know it we may be the subject of a rumor
Making the truth from the lie harder to distinguish
Whether it’s a mistake or done with ill intent
Not having the facts can certainly cause some grief
But with anonymity it’s difficult to be definite
And the information will spread faster than the wind

A Dictionary of Locusts
You're bucking the trend
she screamed
What fucking trend
I asked her
Write something nice
something
soothing and peaceful
to make you feel good
in this troubled world
I don't do nice
and I never feel good
I said
She had no idea
how much pain there was
watching every word
swarm over the page
hungry to find its place
a dictionary of locusts
chewing the guts of my soul
she screamed
What fucking trend
I asked her
Write something nice
something
soothing and peaceful
to make you feel good
in this troubled world
I don't do nice
and I never feel good
I said
She had no idea
how much pain there was
watching every word
swarm over the page
hungry to find its place
a dictionary of locusts
chewing the guts of my soul

because we are
we are connected
because we are
like the links in a chain
held together
as the poets
and the other writers
word warriors
one and all
and more I say
like true explorers
ever ready to trudge
forward into the unknown

Unbearable! Out Of The Shadows
Out of the shadows
On friday the thirteenth
From within a nest
Eggs are waiting
To be hatched
As plots lurk
Inside the recesses
Of creative minds
About to be laid bare
Some of ethereal wonderment
Others of stark realities
And some of everyday observations
I, for one
Wondered
As to whether
I should consider
A piece of poetical theatre
A true life retrospective
Of my recent experience
As a life model
Baring, not just my soul
Thankfully
Common sense prevails
For now

The Battle With Myself
I'm Just passing some time
Lost in this rhyme
While I grapple through my night
As the demons resurface
And attack me with purpose
While me and the past reunite
I choke on the smoke
From the fire they stoke
Slowly melting this heart of gold
Happiness is deferred
Attempting to heal with words
And tend to these wounds of old
I fight with all my might
Yet victory is not in sight
Nor is the light of day
So through the darkness I roam
This darkness, now my home
These demons are here to...
Lost in this rhyme

And attack me with purpose

Slowly melting this heart of gold
Happiness is deferred
Attempting to heal with words
And tend to these wounds of old
I fight with all my might
Yet victory is not in sight
Nor is the light of day
So through the darkness I roam
This darkness, now my home
These demons are here to...
