I knew her. We were at work together.

I had not seen her for at least two years.

‘I’ve left Mike.’ The news came as a bombshell.

‘I’m with Vince now. You know, from the office.’

‘But you seemed so happy,’ I said, weakly.

‘You have to seize the moment,’ was her reply.

The moment? Vince? That lazy sofa slug?

‘He’s exciting!’ she snapped, smiling hungrily.

All Hallows’ Eve

On All Hallows’ Eve

When the bewitching hour falls

And darkness descends

From out of the shadows

Something slowly stirs

The slightest movement, flicker, twitch

Seen from the corner of your eye

Shapes emerging, cloaked in mystery

Gliding along ancient pathways

Gaunt, swaying spectres

Shrouded in mist

Carrying their stories and sadness

On the shore of Ganges,

when the Sun was at it highs,

there comes a fisherman,

to accomplish his sighs.

Trapping the biggest fish,

was his promise to his child,

and he tried till dawn,

even caught the cold mild.

But grabbing the gotten chance,

even though aiming for moon,

he landed up in stars,

which is oasis in the dune.

Dreaming big is not wrong,

Tell me you love me, tell me you care

Tell me I look good, my clothes, my hair

Tell me the truth but no more lies

Tell me the secrets shown in your eyes

Tell me a story, one that’s not true

Tell me it’s not about me and you

Tell me it’s finished, the affair you had

Tell me you’ll come back…

I’m really sad

It is the night of Halloween
time for the spookiest party of all
Stars imitate blinking disco lights
the full moon a sparkling glitter ball

a crisp carpet of Autumn leaves
Pumpkin lanterns glow by candle light

The walking dead dance with the devil

You’ve captured me

In a web  I’ve woven,

That I placed at your door 

for you to come over

To seduce me with your fluttering eyes

To entice me out of the safety of life.

To whisper the intoxication

To vaporise my mind with elation

To take my hand and lead my mind

To bright sunshine that leaves me blind

But frees my body and frees my soul

Tom was driving his wife Sue to the brink,

Spending too much time at the pub addicted to drink.

To weigh up why he was wrong,

Although she was beautiful

her struggle never seemed to fade.

With roots as strong as hers she would always smile

even when her petals were plucked and frayed. 

Remember how her beauty glowed 

as she faced the sun with grace.

Half laughing, half crying 

somehow she bloomed from her pain.

Throughout the early 80’s we in Britain set the pace

As weekly records fell in that iconic 4-lap race

To the troika that was Ovett, Coe and Cram.

The one ran with pure arrogance, the second of these had

A running style that simply seemed to flow;

The third, the pride of Sunderland, a loose, ungainly lad;

There's a black canvas staring back at me. 
Nothing else, no smiling people or vibrant colors, just black paint smeared across a white spread. 
Motivation slipped my existence months ago
But I have this moment and in my current state of sadness I wish to create 
Even it turns out to be acrylic nothingness.

Fascinated by all that’s random

Our short lived interactions with strangers

Always questioning what could be

A rolling scenario of ifs

Glazing over one’s eyes at night

Life is that of a mere die

Set numbers plaguing our skull

One just has to give it purpose

Heard some quite appalling moans.

Coffinwood creaked as they stole out

One giving a cadaver such a clout

The pitiful corpse had belonged to the wife?

Coarse salt hidden deep in pocket

Silver crucifix brandished high

So evildoers would pass me by.

Murdered as a Witch, a wicked old soul.

She was cruel as sin, heart black as coal.

Envisioning goals within my grasp.
But far from my reach.
My heart yearns for what it wants.
However,
My mind prevented me.

I had lost my mind to the process.

The process and letting my former self die.
Rise and birth of a new me.
Shackled and bonds finally removed.
Now, im no longer bound to the limitations of life.

Moving home is always full of stress,
But it may also be exciting.
Is it all a huge ordeal?
Or do you find it quite inviting?

It takes so long to pack things up,
And there are boxes everywhere.
For it surely tries our patience,
As there is so much to prepare.

Is the move something you fear?
Or do you long for pastures new?
Is it all one big nightmare?
Or a dream that has come true?

Name on an ostracon. 

The reckoning decrees 

That one is to be

Exiled to the marginalia

Of life, sans regalia

Of former glory, no

Laurels to rest weary on--

But perhaps the chance

To recommence at

The foothills, on a far

Sturdier footing, might

Suffice as recompense?

Dropping from my lash, from cheek stained red

Until we are forever young,

In a Vampire’s lair.

Pounded into me

They follow a line

In general, it is possible to fly,

And I don't mean temporarily,

Immobility breeds creation,

Beneath majestic heights

public footsteps

ring a tapestry of sound.

Time surrenders  here,

hushed voices

portholes angle to paradise.

Thick with prayers

stone walls are candle-b...
