Dick and his cat
Dick and his cat
I was in the deep depth of youth
sitting in a library struggling through
Dick Whittington and his cat.
Looked the fable up on Wikipedia
and was disappointed,
Dick and his cat were different
from my recollection
I had the cat and Dick walking
to London
In my fantasy world, the story was
much richer, so I will stick
to my version

Lost in ashes
Night arrives
In its sultry starry splendor
Sleeping giant stirs
With suffering to render
Fortress for the forgotten
Lies beneath gilded soil
Awakened with sorrows dreams
Enticing dead blood to boil
From cracking earth
He does rise
Bringing shrieks of madness
And merciful melancholy cries
Displeased gods
Exacting their vengance
Bringing a quick end
To unwanted tenants
Rivers rage with fire
While toxic fume gnashes
Island nightmare unleashed
Paradise lost in ashes
In its sultry starry splendor
Sleeping giant stirs
With suffering to render
Fortress for the forgotten
Lies beneath gilded soil
Awakened with sorrows dreams
Enticing dead blood to boil
From cracking earth
He does rise
Bringing shrieks of madness
And merciful melancholy cries
Displeased gods
Exacting their vengance
Bringing a quick end
To unwanted tenants
Rivers rage with fire
While toxic fume gnashes
Island nightmare unleashed
Paradise lost in ashes

The seekers
Into the soul of darkness
Go the mouths of babes
Into the belly of the beast
Beyond the bowels of despair
Seaching for the golden grail
To bring peace to their dying land
The enemy lies in wait
To devour any light that
Dares to glisten in grandeur
Noxious fumes spread
Ripping every breath away
Visions of concentration camps
Tear through the seekers minds
The urge to abolish their journey
Is only outweighed by their
Desperate hunger for peace and freedom
There are no rules...
Go the mouths of babes
Into the belly of the beast
Beyond the bowels of despair
Seaching for the golden grail
To bring peace to their dying land
The enemy lies in wait
To devour any light that
Dares to glisten in grandeur
Noxious fumes spread
Ripping every breath away
Visions of concentration camps
Tear through the seekers minds
The urge to abolish their journey
Is only outweighed by their
Desperate hunger for peace and freedom
There are no rules...

confused mind
Confused mind
He walked into a kaleidoscope, stunned
around and threw up colourful vomit.
Carrousels, blinking light, not his scene.
He intended to climb mountains.
For a berg goat, our world looks pathetic
yellow eyes of tipsy cherubs.
Celebration of something in his village
singing drunkenly, rockets kiss the air.
When the cacophony ends with jubilant
voices, this is not Idlib.
He walked into a kaleidoscope, stunned

peculiar things
Peculiar things
It has been raining so much that the lemon tree
is taller than a building of flats where we live.
A neighbour who was hit by one of its fruits
is still uncommunicative.
A flat battery in a jaguar is a sight to behold
when sitting in a bough of a tree.
The aroma of lemon juice wafts through the building
the restaurant in the basement sells fried fish
Quite fitting since it is Friday,
I like eating pork chops while driving a porch.

Dead Zones
Of sleep it can be said
Dreamless states beyond life,
Experiences of the damned
Sequentially unfolding in rifes.
Plethoric memories
Processes in dark trance,
Endemic visions
In brain waves steeped by romance.
Yet sleep that feels real
Often is enhanced by beliefs,
As though the blanks also feel
Part of currents and realities motifs.
Sometimes the waves aren't yours
But, an overlay of anothers theta
Waves of awareness,
Gone away to forgotten input data.
Dreamless states beyond life,
Experiences of the damned
Sequentially unfolding in rifes.
Plethoric memories

Yet sleep that feels real

As though the blanks also feel
Part of currents and realities motifs.
Sometimes the waves aren't yours
But, an overlay of anothers theta

The Seiškonur
The Viking Seiškonur, at midnight came
Alluring beauty clad in mantle blue
Translucent raiment baited graceful frame
Bewitched by all her treasures in full view
With shoulders bare and bosom pert and proud
And cold blue eyes, their glacial frost impart
By mystic lust-filled longing now endowed
She cast her spell upon my craven heart!
Not yet lost, I dared approach the witch
Too weak to thwart her carnal energies
She captured me with such a fulsome kiss
It took possession of my memories!
With lust for all eternity Ill burn
...

Carved heart on the tree of time
Tattered strands of time blow in the wind
Parts of the strands breaking and flowing away
There's no end to the height of this tree
Thousands of words in thousands of languages
Make up it's rugged bark skin, reminiscing of old books
You could spend a life time making out the stories
Of those that came here before you
You even walked the desire path to the tree
Foot prints worn deeply into the earth
To finally see the endless tree of time
The closer your feet take you the taller it seems
With the whisper of cloth parting you pull out the...

The Haunting Of Tituba (Mysteries Given From The Skies III of IV)
Danvers, Massachusetts 1692
Deep In The Forest
Betty Parris and Abagail Williams
Betty, if I can see my fate, when I crack this egg
May the yolk in the glass give my love to me without having to beg
Well go ahead
Oh no, Abagail, I see a coffin
My fate is doomed, and why is everyone laughing
Its just a silly game, Abagail as we sit around the fire to pass the time
Your prudish father, if he finds out will beat our hides
Tituba
Look into...
