Illusion
Life is an illusion
draped
in curtains of
crushed velvet .
It's not what you see
externally.
It's what's you find.

for the love of dogs
for the love of dogs
Over the bay a rainbow dripping colors
into turquoise water, nothing can be that beautiful
if there is no prize to pay without the horror
of a gruesome sight.
A terrible smell from the flat below that was odd
they went on holiday to Greece and left the dog alone
in the flat with water in a dish and biscuits
not to forget some toys.
It took days before someone broke down the door
and set the dog free from its hot sticky hell
Some people do not have the capacity to understand
a dog is a loved member of...

No War or Inside Roar
INSIDE ROAR
No War or Inside Roar
Inside Roare (1996)
originally she was supposed to be a pilot, she wasn't.
1) A village burned to the ground,
somewhere behind the hill the sound of a steel bugle fades away.
The landscape lacks life.
Tracks of tank tracks, prints of military boots.
A few bricks left from your house
the wind blew away all your memories.
Your scream accompanies them.
Rf) Within you your voice now roars,
that around the war when it goes
she also came to us. ...

My Place
I can feel your heartbeat in your chest and
your even inhales of breath. I feel a chill as
you kiss the nape of my neck and I drape
my arms around you . Bring you in that bit
closer so I never forget . You paint me as
a glorified sunset . Tempestuous , an imperial
orange gold stamped on my heart just as the
sun rose so did I . With the soft touch of your
warm rosebud lips . I crave you more until my toes curl and I unfurl just by your slightest touch . I know instinctively I have found my place and my why . I silently thank god for his grace as I...

go silent go deep
The Seeker
“ Go Silent Go Deep” the title of a war movie where
Curd Jurgen, an actor, who looked good in Nazi uniform
but somehow was a hero who did the right thing
Alone in the house and less heroic, he tried to go deep
into his mind, pieces of shrapnel from an u boat, dead sailors about, until a creature took pity and ate them
It's semi-dark down here, the bottom is filled, in-digested, and deleted poems, he tries to find himself
a fish not seen since childhood.
He swims in the shallow and picks up small crabs easier
to write about, tiny...

Release
Hooded nib exposed
I take it in hand
Under cloak of darkness
Calloused, family-weary fingers
Curl intimately
Around its smooth girth
I begin the ancient rhythm
Slow, hesitant strokes
Coaxing, teasing
Gently kneading
Pleading for sweet release
Strokes grow bolder
Gun-fire quick
Furious, angry strokes
To wring forth
Streaming threads
Retreat, pace slows
As the last drips fall
Dreamily
Drop by sweet drop
Black pearls upon the page
Reading my words...

Ken Livingstone - this great and deeply admired Hero of mine, and other normal folk like me!
By Stanley Collymore
Whether you fulsomely agreed
with, or oppositely scathingly
attacked him, Livingstone's
political views, that in any half decent
democracy, such as Britain obviously
is, you're especially and undoubtedly
actually very legally entitled to freely
and openly do so; and whatever any
respective politicians really avowed
political persuasions irrefutably are,
those essentially, literally pertaining
to Ken Livingstone and significantly
aptly throughout his active political
years were clearly...

A fairytale
I no longer believed in the fairytale of love
the one found in story books like sleeping
beauty . The age of innocence is such a
loss when you realise nothing is perfect
certainly not with affairs of the heart . It’s
hard to recapture your child like imagery of
a true love . What if you though find
someone who makes you feel like you
wanna try to leap into a book . Pages
covered with the letters of love and a pen
shared . When your writing style matches theirs .
When you are the ink and they the nib.
Now that’s rare just...

Rocky Hills and Flowing Wadies
Rocky Hills and Flowing Wadies
The rocky plains expand southward
To the high hills where the mountains rise
The shortest path i take, is from the east..
Along the ''dogs' river '', then heading south
I find the thick forest with its pine perfume
As i walk along, i see dim shapes moving
Between the trees skipping, like apes screaming
the woods have their own ghosts, here, they abide
And from where the shepherds come home
I find the trails ascending to the breezy hilltops
whereon i perch, and i cast my eagle...

JUST SIT ON IT
A popular
phrase for
a procrastinator
or hesitation
in making
a decision
is "I'll sit on it."
HOWEVER
this phrase
sends my
mind in another
direction.
There are other
things I'd like to
sit on and
have sat on
that belong
to me.
New sofas!
Meet me at
the Kissing Place
and we'll spend time
JUST SITTING on
whatever we decide
IT IS.
OKAY?

IT TAKES TIME TO GET HARD
Be
patient,
Don't
rush,
Take your times,
YES!
It is
worth
the wait.
HARD
takes time
when it comes
to making
peanut brittle
candy.
Meet me at
the Kissing Place
and we'll patiently
wait for the
HARD.
