Elephantasy
When i arrived home yesterday
I
To my surprise
Espied
A herd of elephants
Lying upon my bed
There were a score of them
But luckily
They were quite small
Small enough in fact
To fit all twenty of them on my bed
But they got round this
By intertwining
Trunk to tail
The thing that surprised me most
On finding twenty elephants on my bed
Is that the bed didn't collapse
Under their considerable weight
Maybe it was because
They were all pink
Or maybe
Just maybe
There were no elephants in the...

Mouseman
I went searching for magic today
I packed my bags
And went wandering
Into the dark lonely woods
I hesitated a little
Before entering the leafy other world within
I tried to follow a path
But had to venture into dense underfrowth
And heavy bracken
It took me a while to realise
That it wasn't the heavy foilage that was the problem
It was me!
The moment i entered this wood
A protective spell surrounding this wood
Turned me into a mouse!
I no longer search for magic anymore
As i'm to busy avoiding owls, and witches...

That it wasn't the heavy foilage that was the problem

Bouncy Iggle Pops! (Nonsense Verse!)
Well missal my crowthorpe!
And cast asunder
My eggulwumps
For i have flobble wobbled
To the tiggle wiggle
And lost my blobble
In a wibble weaver
I had some bouts adoubt it
But was soon resolved
With a bot hawter wattle
And now my iggle pops
Are much more bouncy now!

Dream
Maybe tonight I won’t ask for a dream.
I’ll let the dream choose me.
Like I am someone the dream needs.
To pass through, to be felt.
Like a ghost
Needing a body, through which to live its desires.
I’ll let the dream choose me.
Like I am someone the dream needs.
To pass through, to be felt.
Like a ghost
Needing a body, through which to live its desires.

Hindsight
I was out meandering one day
To see
If i could espy a Hart
So as to take a photo of it
To try and capture his magical essence
I searched
High, and low
Without success
Until finally
I decided to return home
And to my huge surprise
There was a Hart
Stood within my living room
I don't know why
But i asked it a question
"What on earth are you doing here?"
And to my astonishment, the Hart replied
"Home is where the Hart is!"
I left my house much dicombobulated

A Swallow Without Wings
I knew an old lady
That swallowed a war
Yet she knewb it wouldn't work
As she'd tried it before
I knew an old lady
That swallowed her tears
At all the abuse
She'd suffered for years
I knew an olf lady
That swallowed her rapist
It happened in childhood
Her rapist was papist
I knew an old lady
That swallowed more bullshit
Her husband was lying
And she just knew it
I knew an old lady
That swallowed his cheating
She didn't dare question him
Or face another beating
I...

The Cycloptic Pixie
The mother, was orphaned at a very young age
So knew nothing of her parentage
Or that one of them, was part pixie
And the other, part cyclops
So thus, the inner child within the mothers womb
Was effectively, A one-eyed pixie
This child, also had an inner eye
Ordinarilly referred to as the third eye
But in this case, was the second eye
None of which
Would make little sense, to an average human
As most would have two eyes already
And couldn't comprehend
A cycloptic pixie with an inner eye!
Unfortunately
In the case of...

TO RENEW
To reflect on this
Serendipitous
Crushed flowers, the wind a spear
Carried to forsaken doorsteps
A light in the sky
Artificial sun
And a closing eye
For yesterday has died
A stone's throw away
Inundation of true bliss
Serendipitous
A carmine streak
A poignant hue
To some, a river of blood
But it beckons me back
To greater misfortunes
I paint not with pigment
My landscapes are of the mind
A crescendo of words
To ease an appetite
May...

A Moth In A Broth
It is said.....
"To many cooks, spoil the broth"
Tis true
I remember once
Putting to many cooks
In a broth
They completed ruined it!
And they tasted awful!
A moth in a broth
Going a little goth
Would possibly taste better
But may give me
Butterflies
In my stomach?

Off to the lands
Of a thousand dreams
Another world
Where the sun shines
Blue, and green
That isn't quite
The Utopia
It imagines it is
For within this world
Lie monsters
Demons with smiling faces
And pleasant demeanors
With a dark inner side
Superficial niceties
And a smile
That would eat you alive
As dark as Sambuka
Without the sweetness
There-in lingers
The dark caves
No gold filled dragon hoards
Or witches curses
Or abstract puzzles to solve
Nor truths to find
The caves...
Of a thousand dreams
Another world
Where the sun shines
Blue, and green
That isn't quite
The Utopia
It imagines it is
For within this world
Lie monsters
Demons with smiling faces
And pleasant demeanors
With a dark inner side
Superficial niceties
And a smile

Shadows
The dying sun
Lying low over the deep horizon
Set within a dreaming sky
Shining bright
Hidden light
LOife turns to purple
Becoming ever surreal
Ethereal images
Dance
Over shimmering twilight
The night closes in
Amongst the looming shadows
Of my life
