strangers on a train

sitting on the train at charing cross. hydrangeas, she smiles.
hi yourself, everyone says ..

Eternal poetry ( echoes down the ages )
Heart's spilled out across pages ,
Emotions echoed down through the ages
timeless tales of love loss and sin,
Wandering souls of poets long past, leaving memories of dreams once cast,
Immortalised pictures painted with words,
ghostly voices mimic like mockingbirds, as we move forward we learn and we share,
the knowledge of wordsmiths that made us aware,
Forever Etched on our pages,
like time standing still,
is the magical words from the ink they did spill ,
by candle lit view and soul bared quill....

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.

A Toxic Woman
Tom laughed at the phrase "sexual deviation." Where was the sex? Where was the deviation? He looked at Freddie and said low and bitterly: "Freddie Miles, you're a victim of your own dirty mind.”
- Patricia Highsmith, The Talented Mr. Ripley
I first fell in love with a toxic woman
when I was fifteen years old
and in the "crime" section of my local library.
her name was Patricia,
her name on the spine of a book
called This Sweet Sickness,
about a clever scientist
who's stupidly in love
with a woman from his youth,
so much...

A Youngster Asked For Poetry Advice
put pen to paper
strip the ego
breathe
intended words
slipping emotions
with devotion
writing
is a personal moment
time for self reflection
to gift your voice
of reason
if you do it often enough
the air in your lungs
exhale "lines"
while blood is pumping
metaphors
you'll find yourself
personifying doors
editing
is like the sun ...

Life sentence
I read and write
to escape
but I'm deluded
if I think
to elude
the end
there's just me.

3am confessions of an inexhaustible mind
It's late
and too many tabs in my mind are open.
The CPU shows no signs of slowing down,
and so the clock is being ignored.
I need to finish reading this amazing book,
and have a bunch of articles on the go, too.
Oh, and don't forget the word games!
Wait... did I remember to find the P.E. kits?
And where on earth is the music coming from?!
Hit with a sudden burst of inspiration,
I seize the nearest scrap of paper -
an old envelope - and feverishly scrawl.
Now... where was I?
This video is so hilarious,
I must...

Unblessed thoughts
These dropped thoughts words and verses bursted into my mind and took over unblessed left with the worst of curses eating me alive inside until they touched and rise to the outter of my surface These feelings only worsen as I continue cursin' in grave on my heart written in cursive but the presence I want is sick blind dispersive...

a haughty nation
Haughty Nation
“They crap in our forest”, a young man yelled
the Roma people had pitched a tent near the woods
where people of this tolerant nation go hunting.
They came here the people from afar to seek work
but are usually met with contempt and mistrust.
They came in the hope of getting a share
in this nations’ largesse, but ran into racism
unbecoming pride like it was their cleverness
that brought up oil from the bottom of the sea.
Now, instead of being unassuming, they became
reactionaries giving pompous advice to less ...

The Joy of Reading You
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I read your lewd
thoughts:
The spreading apart of
your smooth stanzas
are enough to embrace
each salacious clause.
Fluttering my tongue
over your words
quickens my pulse.
They tease - smooth
and warm each read
until the explosive end.

Contradictory
Though I read a book
Of death, I'm happy because
Of you- reaching out
Of death, I'm happy because
Of you- reaching out
