The Mersirens
A giant goldfish bowl
Splashed into the ocean
The life inside
Swam around
As mercurial bubbles
Rose to the surface
As the fish mouths
Seemed to speak....
From my observations
They kept repeating
Just one word
Bub bub bub
Unknown to me
Every bub
Had possible multiple meanings
And it became to late
Before i realised
That they weren't fish
But an alien invasion force
From a distant water world
Within seconds
Or was it days?
A large bubble
Not disimilar
To the one from The...

Inland swimming pool
Inland swimming pool.
Between two hills, a chasm, in winters rain fills up the gap
a lake is born, in May, June and the middle of July the water
is fine, if a bit greying.
The lake has no outlet and is used by farmers for their crops
if there is scant rain.
In August, the lake is silty, but it is the only swimming pool
we have, we sit by the bank drink beer watch children play
it is our day at the beach.
When the lake is dry, we find skeletons of animals and
that of a missing person who went swimming in the night.
Although we say...

a seraph (edited
A seraph
I knew as soon as she entered the room
she was unlike anyone I had met before.
She sat down, began some embroidery
a silk dress for a delightful nuptial.
We kissed at the entrance of the door
to hell, the ground was white as snow
her eyes, bottomless green, flickered
in a snake-like desire.
We had been caught in the glare of
unbecoming lust, we ran to the bus
shelter.
Silent rain, she wanted me to take
the late bus heavenward.
The lift was out of order, her face
a was a miasma of the unmembered. ...

astronaut
The astronaut
They said the moon was every surface full
of light, no deep shadows behind rocks
yet an astronaut insists the moon is jam-packed
of folks living in underground cities having hilarious
time hiding from invaders who explore trying
to find life on the moon, a world parallel to the earth.
Invaders in funny suits, stealing rock to take
back to earth to see if there is anything worthy
to exploit.
The cave dwellers shake their heads the sick rocks
that destroyed the moon landscape, they take back
to the earth, what...

The lessons
In life
Are as clear
As a bell;
Who we are,
What we say,
What we do,
Are the points
That we make
Whenever
We shake
What we mean
By what
For us
Rings true.

arrested freedom
Arrested freedom
Seagulls fill the air with joy
anchored sailboats tugs want to be free
sail around the world alone,
as a Japanese fishing vessel did
end up at the coast of Canada.
Alas, caught by the coast guard as it
prepared to sail for Chile and Peru.
Anchored in a lonely bay
waits for her captain to show up.
This slavey of navigation
had been a year of freedom.
Seagulls fly, sleek bodies white as snow.
A storm is brewing
the ocean is theirs alone.

small fry
Small fry
Fingerlings are playing among seagrass in shallow water
they stop when the big shadow of an adult passes overhead
sometimes they play is so exciting they forget
and end swallowed whole by a fish that knows no mercy.
Alas, the tiny fry has a short memory and soon leave
the seagrass attracted by shiny pebbles shines like nuggets
of gold on a summer day.
The play stops as it just like old school friends drift apart
to other seas and too smart to anyone bearing false bait.
There are no promises for elderly fish when finally...

a story poem
A story of love
Eva Braun was a Greenland seal who lived in an aquarium
Herr Hitler liked animals; dogs adored him.
in childhood, his call for love denied him
his dream was sitting by the fireside stroking a dog
and feeding Eva in her aquarium.
In the country, I lived on many tiny islands
bridges built; the islands no longer feel like islands.
Nevertheless, we stood at the gangway of a ferry
that was going to an island that didn’t have a bridge
I knew you were not coming back, pleaded with
you gave me a phone number when I tried to...

Motorcycles & Mermaids
I feel it in the water
waking my slumber
the vibration incantation
that of my lover
and his Harley
revving his throttle
upon my water rooftop door
my sonar invitation
that’s headed toward the shore
Time to ride
quickly reaching for
my starfish hairclips
drawn into the current I slide
ready for my road trip
Breaching the surface
waving a wink with my tides
I know he sees me
racing towards him
glistening with pastel moonlight
can’t wait to meet him

the remote
The remote
It was a terrible hallucination
an old hex came out of her grave and raped me
I was lame paralyzing fear she sat on top of me
and reeked of semen of a thousand men
left to rankle in her mouldy vagina.
I fumbled for my remote to switch the channel off
could not find the remote, then the horses came
galloping through the woods, I mounted one
and we were riding on the Pampas of Argentine.
All the while, the hex hollered something foul
about multiple orgasms, I found the remote
the screen filled with irises and sweet...

the river of dreams
The river of dreams
A laughing clown filled the heavenly screen, a grin full of malice.
Behind me, bearded men were eating children wine
and blood ran down their chests, had the time of their life.
Democracy is great, chanted freedom to exploit the weak
in a moment of friendliness, offered, a child’s roasted leg.
I shook my head, walked on, had to find my way home
and there it was shining red in the afternoon glow.
The apartment had no entrance, a rope hanging from every window
my flat was on the third floor; I tried to climb up, too feeble. ...

A message to earthlings
Earthlings, we gave you a planet and you fouled it.
We had high hope for you since you can reason and show empathy
but you were overtaken by the sin of greed and arrogance.
You have exploited the home we gave you
you had no respect for animals, you let them down and eradicated
the Tasmanian tigers to take an example, we find it hard to forgive.
We have released a plague upon you, to teach you a lesson, we wish not
to eliminate mankind as you will do that yourself.
Some of you may go to Mars but your thwarted...
