This Saturday has sadness in the summer clouds
feel I ought to go home, don’t know why?
A place I have not been to for fifty years
I dismissed the thought as sentimental trash
Is It!
When my dog died in an accident in Faro town
I drove through a rainy night to bury her
Where she was born
Felt it was my duty to her
Was it!
As a modern man, I know it doesn’t matter
Where we die, the soil is either dry or damp
If there is a longing to rest under turf known
Has it got a meaning, or is it soppiness?

The Lucky People
Full moon
Wolf totem
Nocturnal Naguals
Unleashed beast within
Track stalk prowl
Taboo
dining monkey meat
Monkey see
Monkey Chew
Rend flesh flaked
Devoured organs
Delightful delicacies
Maimed limbs creaking
Terrified eyes
Faded light
Ears pricked
Sharply seeking
Faint hearts faintly beating
Gasping
Gasping
Minds scarcely conceiving
Shadowed shaded monsters
Animals

Song Of Haunting Leaves
As Autumn falls from the antebellum trees,
airborne, a winter's song of haunting leaves.
Strangled and hung on a cold winter's bed
clinging to the night's knotted hole branches.
Lying in pools beneath me, taunting me with
shadows, naked, bare, and flaunting.
Watching with eyes of mysterious reads,
daunting the twilight with ghostly ballet.

The Mandrake Dragon
Took my imagination, out for a stroll
Like a demonically possessed young child's doll
Came across some mead, filled up in a flagon
Twas there i encountered, the Mandrake Dragon
It flapped its wings, And blew its flames at me
It shrieked as loud, as a screaming Banjee
Instead of claws, it had flailing flowers
Poisonous to the touch, with teeth to devour
Ghostlike in appearance, like an evil Manitou
As down from the darkened skies it flew
Its eyes were a deep fearsome firey red
And a roar so loud, to awaken the dead
I...

Mermaid
Brian
stepped out for
some air.
He saw some chick in
the pool with large fish
fins instead of legs.
Brian
turned and yelled
"HEY, GUYS?!"

Pisces
Amongst the cluster of Zodiac's embrace,
Lies Pisces, born of twelfth's grace.
An Aquamarine on Idealism's shore,
Where newest dreams are seen first and more.
With eyes fixed on the stars above,
She sets her sights, soaring high, with love.
Determined and steadfast, she strides along,
Through the ebb and flow, singing a mutable song.
Fishes dance, their silvery scales aglow,
Surrounding her island, where the waters flow.
Nature, in all its splendour, pays homage true,
Not as a God, but as their creator, they do.

Flee from flea
Dear Mr. Flea. Mr. Insatiable flea. We are a different kind of different.
The truth is,Mr. Flea. Mr. Insatiable flea. There is no kind of comparison.
We are very different
You,like cups of blood.
And I,like fragrant herbal bugs,mixed with the purest type of powerful caramel mud.
So I hope my explanation,has brought some kind of clarity to your enquiry?
As I don't wish to step on,a dirty old flea.
So remember,there's no kind of comparison.
As you're a blood sucking ectoparasitism pathogen.
And I'm a whatever I choose to...

Jezebel
The island sits lone and sinister
Surrounding wakes rock small passerbys
No one aboard their boats glance
For fear of what dwells wide and nigh
The crashing of the waves
The secrets of the trees
Long screaming warnings
Seep through the howling breeze
But home sank in those vines
Which wrapped around each limb
Home was in the song that carried over the constant wind
For Jezebel
Responsible for the fall of every man
Who claimed beauty and cunning
Was...

Sappho probably said it better
But I cannot
simply dismiss
the way they
said about
how I wasn't
kidding about
my towering
resistance
and I recall
how patience
grew thinner
than a single
hair strand,
feeling
heat rise
in-between
two columms
waiting for
divine miracles
to descend on
their narrow
stairwell.
I've always
been about
the waiting
like having
enough time
in the day to
catch prey
as soft faces ...

vernal hips I
vernal hips
vernal hips
of sweet rose blues
whose petals luxuriate
in tropic of Eden
with existential fig leaf
for hidden cosmos
as original as sin
on the birth of the autumn
when the fall felt heavy
as a cross of tree boughs
carrying the weight of love

faith of our tennis shoes
faith is like a wad of old
gum that you step on
walking down the street
you know it's there
but it doesn't do you
any good
you stop, scrape it
off
and get on with
life

Anima
On bright
mornings
when air
is crystal
i'll open
your window
leave psyche
with you,
fly as fury
sacrifices
to a new
dawn.
