Hex contains swearing
This genie spell hex you put on me will kill me.
I want to die.
I'm sick of the anxiety and shit you cause me, in my head all the time.
Why did you magically bind me to you?
We belong together? Horse shit!
You belong in the bottom block.
You're nuts and drive me insane.
I must end my life and get away from you. Permanently.
I borrowed my mate's pistol. He's a dealer...

Meeting
What's taking place in the meeting of men?
When they meet in a room or secretly in a forest, things happen.
Ripples leading to the future, untold events like back in 42, Final Solution style.
Millions wiped out due to the racism and hatred of a madman. ...

What's Your Name?
I've been out to Dovestones walking. On the grassy slope by the woods to the right of the access road I found a letter. Hidden. Written by a goth girl on decaying paper. Past damp, full of holes and three bits of gum stuck to it. It told her story. Lock the tiger up, secure the house, said how down she is. I don't see her name. What's your name my dark angel? There's an envelo...

There you are with your BA (Hons) in English Literature,
5 years of studying poetry and prose.
Yes, you’re a real academic, all those years
in lectures and seminars. Got you a decent career
and a real nice income. Not like me
who did it the other way. Taught myself
to write, been published many times.
See what you think of my poems and my book.

Eclipsing Karin’s Fracture
Eclipsing Karin’s Fracture
Fracture lines of frantic events. Pretty little German girl named Karin Ulbricht. Leipzig late 1989. Events so much bigger than just a mere pretty little lady. Daring to demonstrate for freedom. Do you know what you’re doing? Do you? Chasing a dream, not knowing what it is.
BUT YOU FEEL IT IN YOUR BONES.
And know that you’re right, being in Leipz...

SUPERSONIC GROUND RACE
SUPERSONIC GROUND RACE
Countdown has begun as a crazy driver gets ready to go.
It’s a race over the desert to reach Mach 1.
As he sets off g-force increases and a silver dot shoots
over the ground trailing dust. In a second
he has gone a mile reaching 600mph.
With a bang he careers through the sound barrier
ending up a dot on the horizon.
Yes, he has done it, the faste...

poems from my new book...
There's a room where people go to do something beautiful and special.
They go there to commit suicide.
I caught a glimpse of it in a vision after a vodka night when Emma had forsaken me.
The white wood walls are blood splattered.
Daylight comes thru gaps in a boarded up window by a corner.
A small curved potato peeler knife is what everyone uses.
Such a wicked an...

GALLOWS
GALLOWS
Wet dawn morning rain dripping on sombre scene
low clouds distilling all colour to grey.
No warmth or hope or peace of mind.
Count down approaches creeping death
as workers test the gallow’s string, new white rope up,
haul heavy sacks of grain to test it – dead weight.
In his cell a condemned man is brought,
he didn’t sleep much. His last day on earth,

U.F.O.
U.F.O.
Strange hazy shapes in the rainy sky dancing lights in the dark of night,
who knows what it means, what they are?
Impossible accelerations and crazy manoeuvres in a second, no plane can do those.
It is the element of the unknown, so scary and dangerous.
People tell of strange beings coming in the night, of sharp objects and needles and of terrible pain.

ENDLESS SUMMER
This is the endless summer of our youth
a time of music and of fun.
A time of blue skies and cold beer
in pubs in the country.
The sky is always free of clouds
and we fall in love, so heart achingly, to last forever.
Special times, trips to the coast.
It is a time for you and me.
Our friends are always there for us
when we see music festi...

The bayonet. I've had it a decade. There's provenance here... not written I'm afraid. My mate Richard, who I went to school with in 82-87, had a lovely sister. Lorraine. from a different dad. He was a soldier in the British army. He's dead now. He collected weapons, guns and knives. His wife asked Richard what to do with them. Some were real guns. I said tell any cops the guns are fake...

Martian Gothic
It was a unique environment.
They were unique people in a unique place.
A mountain fifteen thousand metres high with a vertical south face.
Two pretty Goth girls stood on the edge.
One footstep forward and it was a huge fall to the Martian plateau.
Three hundred metres in front of the girls was a fine layer of Cirrus cloud,
thirty metres thick.

EDGE 1
Journey to a place that is the edge, edge of the ocean right here, right now.
Not sea, not land, edge of the ocean is where this is at,
on every landmass on planet earth, no exceptions.
Always in movement, in touch with the moon is the tide, on cliff, on beach.
A wetness attacking the dryness, now as it has before,
the story of a billion years before our eye...

Dawn demurely dooms darkness, dewy December day.
There! The shape of a machine peacefully sleeping.
Slumber banished, RAF pilot strolls to his mount -

Kept warm by his fleece flying jacket,
fine silk shirt and thermal flying suit.
Mission time, Norway bound.
Land of ice and snow, glaciers and fjords, valleys and mountains.

Mind Men
Men with brilliant minds fought a war in the ether, fighting an invisible war.

Making sure they were never found out.
Enigma and Lorenz were cracked by pure brain power.
Mathematics being the power of intelligence, enemy codes saying everything.
Hidden no more.

Dream of a nation, they built a big airship for Arctic exploration. Things went so well, taking a plethora of readings and photographs till a head wind sprung up. They used most of the fuel battling the wind. Serious technical trouble followed. This would go downhill, fast.
A crash!
Ripping fabric, torn envelope. Smashed control cabin forlorn on the ice. Many dead and injured...

Dead Man
The dead man sits on his sofa and watches TV
in his East German tower block apartment.
Cash in the bank pays his bills, no eviction notice here.
What was once a real person is a mummified corpse, all wrinkled and shrunken.
For three years he's been like this, a TV critic.
Bored fucking shitless, dead.
From soaps to films, he's endured them all.

It's a wing. A wing from an alien space craft. Almost as old as time. Nothing but a relic now, a ruin. They used to steal people off Earth. Millions of them. Abducting them against their will. None of that matters now. Earth was burnt to a cinder nine billion years ago. Its sun went supernova. More powerful than they thought it would. Earth based science was basic. That w...

And the tightness of your expression.
I can still see the creases on your face
As you smiled at your...

Should I share them with you?
Is that wise? Not just yet.

Our roads are at choke point

Above us is d...

This high brick wall borders East and West, a Cold War frontier that symbolises the divisions between two mindsets. A time of paranoia and of being taken away in the night, soldiers only following orders, you’re going to the East, not to be seen again as you’re an enemy of the state, Stassi style.
For those who resist and fight there is only one option, eliminate ...

Then he fucked it up big time. They ha...
