Comes and Goes a Day

The rim of a hat tilts silently towards me

While a kai-bosh batters my thoughts,

And my head banging wall is dented so violently

And tickles of torture trickle streams of blood;

Fatigue holding tight like a noose from

A snakes ardent enquiry,

And ther...

Rivalry

Rivalry

There is safety in numbers,

A collection of accepted forms that

Roam wherever pleased,

And yet they fight amongst themselves as leader,

But always they’re at the mercy -

Of those who exist upon the fringe.

One wrong turn and they are

Very far fro...

'Social Observations'

I Veteran

I Veteran

I try,

Ten maybe fifteen years in a row to attend

It has been! I walk past at speed,

Anxiety rising within a throat of hurt,

My jaw clenched as I negotiate the crowd –

But my stride is slowed and I catch glimpses

Of the veterans in uniform,

And my tears are checked ...

Guess Where Daddy's From

Guess Where Daddy’s From

“are we there yet dad?”

Asked his son in the back of the car

That was jammed on the merry go round

Of a future with little importance,

And as dad with ma sat in the front

Of a tired Accord the source of his

Inspiration came flooding again

As the engine ceased on its will!

“Not yet son” was his

In a World of Confrontation

In a World of Confrontation

I have it in mind to kill myself,

I have it in mind to take away

The toy you’ve been abusing

For I’m losing all my faith

In you!

This world,

This utter cataclysmic

Globe of many of my kind,

Why does it seem so

Understated that we

No longer want to live,

Live like animals you’ve

Made from us ...

So Painful

So Painful

It isn’t,

It just isn’t the written word that goes unsaid,

It isn’t the fact that you are missing,

It isn’t that I have had no word from you,

It isn’t the three feet tall you have always been,

It isn’t that I do not think of my first born,

What it is, is every word of pain in not knowing who you are,

It is the lack of feeling...

Going Home By Candle

Going Home By Candle

Autumn drizzle baits hypnotic melodies as

Trickling from the silent rooftops, it pools

In cavities of grief,

And reverie of forgotten memories places subliminally

In the mind, an afterglow of fires on horizons

Of the blind,

And I’m searching through t...

Tuck Shop

Tuck Shop

What is it humans do,

When the box of chocolates sours in their hearts,

What is it humans want,

When the jelly babies perish

Like the grasp upon excitement,

When the tuck shop finally shuts;

What is it that we do???

Why the feeling fantasies of children

Care to live this world at all,

When numbed against the wind of change

At The Opera

At The Opera

So here we are,

Pondering God yet again,

The melody of same sized

Scenario’s replayed over and over

Yet we, feign unknowing for

The outcome, of all those famous,

Familiar, sad lamented songs.

We’ll pretend,

Just you and I – like every

Multitude and mutilated si...

African Plains

African Plains

Have you noticed that time slips between us?

At first we’re venturing Venutian skies,

Then thirty-six hours within an Earthly hour –

And we’re sitting within a Martian day.

The Free Thinkers Ministry

The Free Thinkers Ministry

How my mind meanders,

How it often twists unwittingly!

Does this infer I give a game away;

An implausible contest that implies –

Only dualism on the brow?

Maybe!

Maybe I’m stuck playing head tennis

Like a rogue smoking council block re...

Rough Justice

Rough Justice

Poetry,

Was not his forte!

But it was something he was compelled to do,

And living was not his want

For the punishment was unwarranted,

And all the while he found himself

In need of explanations,

And his heart was sat in puzzlement,

At every deed they’d said.

The Forefathers Scientist

There is a transient state

Between you and I,

Our souls are unequal

For you have more of the phenomena,

Yet still I play catch up with God.

I am not of replicant,

I am not the fantastic of all

You have programmed

But what I am,

Is neither of you or of I,

Outside the Window

Outside the Window

Life poses so many unanswered questions,

The older we become,

The more you have recourse

To all things done;

There are those you once loved –

Now drifted away,

Returning in slow measure,

To acknowledge the pleasure

Of sharing of time.

And

Many once ‘beauty’

Now ba...

Ice Cold In Shallow Waters

Ice Cold in Shallow Waters

We live in a discordant world

Where metaphors of peace,

Battle daily with analogies of war!

In every man and woman tempests rage,

While considering daily their norms,

Actors and players on stages

Of rhetoric,

Poem to the Unknown Angels

She walks quietly away

From the basket that’s full;

Left at the checkout of the convenience store,

The pain in her heart

And the ball in her throat;

Confusing an Angel that heals,

Passing the barcode over lasers –

The tiller gives a detachable smile,

Darnhill Estate

Humility imbues itself in many forms,

From the free birds early song,

To the Kora of Toumani Diabate,

From the smile of the African peoples

Who own nothing but what they wear,

To the tears shed in realisation,

When sunlight breaks the storm.

A man can be a simple fellow...

I am bending over backwards –

Confused by never understanding

What is it from us you want,

I’m on my knees trying my utmost,

My damndest to fathom why when

We are expressing so much grief,

You turn on us callously your back?

All the norms you have created

Glowering freefall fantasy you’re desiring

Fires held as light,

Of the horseman, I am the murderer

My Wife and Child

My Wife and Child

Is there a possibility,

A chance that we can take,

That makes the fantasy of peace reality?

She looks truthfully in his eyes

While he suckles,

And the probability of the bond

Of understanding is powerful,

As lovingly, she puts the child first.

I cannot understand

Where the battle starts,

I am desperate to know

Why a battle starts at all?

Are we here;–

Only to gain experience of war?

I cannot decipher

Every meaning in an infants cry,

But why the cry we’re made,

Why the cry?

Why the cry...

My once majestic gait replaced

By a hunch that;-

How fast the wind once caught my sense;-

Fasten it to my tails and tease –

To break a sweat but now,

So many people in so many ways,

So many a day wasted by so many fails,

Failing this world are the lies we create,

Told by fables giving way to laments,

Lamenting the soul not living

Life at it’s full; cremations of roles

Played by actors to cull.

While sweat forms droplets,

Salt water to keep my sex alive

And writhing,

I’m jiving

Hasten again another orgasm

Write out loud,

Write out as loud as you can,

Write what?

We all have something to say,

We all have unique expression to this human experience,

And while the lungs fill and the tongue wags,

Exhalation of air is another solitude lost.

Why when lonely within six billion people

Do we never find any soul that could hasten

There are not enough moments in the day,

Nor is there time to cradle every possibility

Without a quarrel,

And looking at and through

Eyes - excites

I have seen them in the past,

Then again, in the future!

Their form takes on the knowing we are

And yet, their passing never stops the longing

To see them more.

Disease, or illness or age takes loved ones every day,

And before disfigurement makes mockery

Of the beauty...

Pan fried tomato’s swim round,

The oil glistening the deep red

Skin that covers the fleshy innards,

The call to prayer sounds the fortunes

Of those from different wombs,

And rooftop spies look on,

Emotionless and unfeeling.

My rifle is poised as bare I take my

Tanned torso for a cold shower,

A wash before bathing in war a...

What Makes a Man King – Zweluthini?

We loved you from way back

In history, revered your warriors and your wives,

We demonstrated outside international embassies,

During days of Apartheid,

We loved your culture your history

And traditions,

We envied all of Africa for its Peoples,

That love is still within our hearts

Those That Can; Teach.

Those That Can; Teach.

You say you’re unemployed and bored,

And frustrated by a system failing fast,

You’re parents awarded only little resource,

Clinging on to politics of the past.

You say you care and place

Without forethought your children into schools,

Schools where playground policies rule,

Solid iron files its humans

With projectile vomit of led,

You cannot stop it,

You cannot block it when

You bare no arms or jacket for

Self defence.

Thick and fast and past life, lives

Wives enter your thoughts of how

Many Gods But One

I want to write an epic,

An epic of proportions where

Each and every opposite, pulls

Gravitation past its orbit, to spiral

Out of minds control,

A countenance

Of disapproving states

Like sea-saws movement bouncing

Bigger – up and down,

A balancing o...

Womb Words

I talk to you in gentle tones,

I can feel you move and like You,

I’m surrounded by an ambience –

A four AM bedroom full of twilight,

And the urge to scream your name

Becomes unbearable in my joy,

My every nerve -

Intoxicate by love,

And this wish to wake the world

To tell them your existence

Brings catharsis to a poi...

Bowled Over

Row upon row of skittles remain,

One score year on Earth was their worth,

Many scored by scars of living without

Stain of education, or varnish for

A fine illuminous finish,

Many skittles remain

Waiting in line row upon row;

Dull and dormant of life –

They wait ins...

OXO to Oranges - Safety Words for Loving Couples!

By no stretch of the imagination do I promote rape! But let’s have it right, behind the closed doors of a loving couples bedroom, or wherever in role play, the Law could make many a criminal out of many a man, or woman. This poem was written in response to a conversation I heard between two young women at Bury Bus Station.

In all honesty, where No, can, sometimes seem confusing, there is of...

Yes You!

Dopple-ganging others,

Always walking streets alone,

But still, I see beneath your clothes.

You never smile my way - but turn away,

As I try and fathom just what ‘ails’ - this star,

How far from human that you’ve travelle...

When We of Poverty, Where Next?

We’re watching the celebrities,

Watching the celebrities for the

Celebrated life we never have,

And if lo, they fall by grace,

We’re on their back, on their back

As minions - who purchase every prop,

And living isn’t easy when you’re poor,

The famous are so expensive

And poverty, is raw!

Closely down upon your womb,

And I wait!

Feels a little strange, makes awkward

Bushfires continue to rage,

Play musical tones, for the young

In their hope for a rave.

And these youthful of entities

A universe of stars.

Each leaf declares its own

And hold it down……
