My Poetry?
As a poet, must I choose one path
to follow? Either sacred, or profane?
If not, then shall I dare to risk the wrath
of those whose sensibilities get strained?
Are my poems art, or entertainment?
Or perhaps, might they be something more?
The act of writing poems is most ancient,
predating everything, but sex and war!
I sit, and drink my brandy, as I ponder
who, the hell, it is I’m writing for?
I think of all the hours that I squander,
would they be better spent on booze and whores?
Such questions are best left for greater...

Unearthed Gem
She is like a gemstone.
Multi-coloured,
Multi-layered,
Free thinking -
Precious.
She hides her beauty,
But it glistens -
Like diamonds in the ground,
Eager to be found.
Everyone has a chance with Gem,
For she understands;
Smoothing rough edges
To polished perfection.
As she weaves her magic,
Watch her shine.
Be dazzled in the sunlight
And soothed by moonlight;
Mesmerized under a silky sky.

Absent Without Pay
Sorry, I was distracted by the windfall of hog plums and did not realise the time
Spent on, wasted on, the observance of the beautiful shape of spots on my lover’s
Face; so now I am full of fruit and grace, antihelmithic and adoration, both supine
And upright, depending on where you are coming from; never mind, whatevs,
I am here, aren’t I, and nobody died while I was away, congratulations, my dears!

EXAMS
Exams...
As in exams....
Define exams....
Fail exams....
Pass exams....
Whatever the case....
They remain exams....
The bright,
The dull,
The active,
The lazy,
The slays,
The kings,
All feel they deserve success...
Regardless of the efforts put in preparations..
For the final touches....exams...
Regardless of the vibes....
You've got to seat down with a pen..
And face it...
Even if you know nothing...
Some excel,
Some average...
Others fail....
Some pass with...

WET DREAM (visual poetry)
I'm out in my yard, an observer mime,
I'm lucky, others don't see what I see.
For though a rainbow is nature's wet dream,
I see a sign of hope, of destiny;
Being at the right place at the right time.
I'm lucky, others don't see what I see.
For though a rainbow is nature's wet dream,
I see a sign of hope, of destiny;
Being at the right place at the right time.

thinking: a man called mania
/ said of him//wary-eyed//muscles like eggshells//pain//is weakness leaving the body////pain is weakness leaving the body//had enough that he put it on tap and on the house//dripdrip//why but what good is there in a happy childhood//as much as in a happy meal he'd maybe have said//critical his attitude//his place//his mental health//tractable concrete//opacity of mirrors//we shared some things//how old is he? and i//uncaring//distantly obsessed//i divided in my womb//became two//enough of this and i will have fingertips soon//

The Shepherd was depression
For too long I was a sheep to the wrong Shepherd
The Shepherd issued insults and orders like commandments
Followed like a mindless sheep
Penned in a field with a flock of drifters and misfits
Respected the Shepherd since I was a little lamb
Held the lies I was told to be the Gospel truth
Allowed myself to be used as manure to grow the Shepherds roses
The Shepherd kept the flowers but left me the thorns to make a crown with
Carried denial and self-hatred around like a crucifix
The Shepherd taught me to hurt myself
I whipped myself ...
The Shepherd issued insults and orders like commandments
Followed like a mindless sheep
Penned in a field with a flock of drifters and misfits
Respected the Shepherd since I was a little lamb
Held the lies I was told to be the Gospel truth
Allowed myself to be used as manure to grow the Shepherds roses
The Shepherd kept the flowers but left me the thorns to make a crown with
Carried denial and self-hatred around like a crucifix
The Shepherd taught me to hurt myself

G is back ali
G is back ali 13.07.18
what a sailing
better then D and the vitamin
monday will be tuning into palin
i no glory will be the victim.
well and truly looped
laughter will plat
by the G loved to be jupp-ed
so miss my friend borat.
is it sick humour
bringing to light concerns
i like very much is my rumour
even if uncomfortable churns.
welcome back ali
get out of my dreams and into my car
support for you is my rally
raise your glass and say booyakasha.

My Brothers
I am not your master
But I will lead when I can
I am not your servant
But I will serve by your side
I am not of your religion
But I will kneel and pray with you
I am not unfeeling
As I bleed just like you
I am not your enemy
I will fight by your side
I am your brother
Until our enemies
Have all gone or died
Long live America
