December Collage Poem: Disappointment - Part 2

Crossing over reflections

Mirroring his own life

 

Life is disappointing; but love is always

beautiful, even across dreary railway tracks

kniving through his childhood

 

Hair kissed under Homeric stars

Whatever the weather.

December Collage Poem: Disappointment - Part 1

The difference is disappointment

drowning in a child's mouth

 

Ladies for tea please leave

that tasty last cake for me!

 

Brought back to life,

but find nothing but silent blackness

 

A smile, a nod, generosity and warmth

I haven't been disappointed

 

The Beatles all white album

on a railway platform

summer is in their eyes

too full of chocolate and ins...

October Collage Poem: Déjà vu

 

Skip to the blue book, where Kerouac

Sounds better than Spanish

 

Pouring madness into teacups

Weeping daily for the return of summer

Relinquish, forgive, summer

 

Washed up love on a bed of lies

 

Impelled by the weird sisters

Into someone else’s destiny

I have got a mental block

Can’t think of the rhyme

So you’ll have to wait til next time

 

A mi...

September 2016 Collage Poem: A Better Place

 

Andrex from front to back

Thank you, thank you Andrex!

 

Disordered by lines of deja vu

Press the button and get turned on!

 

A bitch of eternity, especially

If you are a 'Good Wife'

 

I like fish and chips washed

Down with some beer

Autumn dreams, sparkling clear

 

Kissing echoes, blowing words

From a distance, past lives, long exposed,

Zoom into ...

June WoL Collage Poem: Anger and Peace

 

You gaze into the viewfinder

Joining cults

Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries

 

Love escaped through

A hole then took it over

A bridge upon the moon

 

Rupture, we all, sod it!

 

The pen swoops and captures.

Laughing anteaters following screaming demons

 

Bee working to death

 

Procession of American angels

File across a bridge to the moon

May 2016 Collage Poem

 

Internal dreams follow you around

with a golden enchantment

 

No one knows the girl who is all alone

In a pub where no one goes

 

Witchcraft, murder, death and anger

 

An accidental queue jumper, that's me!

No one expected doughnut eyes

 

The eager needle drinks its fill

Leaving pools of shadow across antique eyes

The worst death is self-inflicted

But...
