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.

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 ...

July Collage Poem

 

Sombre words, rigorous debate, helpless giggles:

Poetry lives. Don't play out, girls and boys:

The moonlight is dangerous!

 

My ambition to be described as: "Never mediocre"

 

Sleepless shadows on chintzy walls

Kiss of life was full of passion

Pity it was only a fish!

 

They recede, like wounded soldiers, into forests

Swathed in mist. Mask of beauty, height of...

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...

March 2016 Collage Poem

These words capture our emotions
Bruising the pain into happiness
Stepping into shadows of unsolved mysteries
Shine our milky moonlight up
All you need are hands
And all mankind is displayed within them
Great memories of yesterday
Terrible things happening today
Casual sex and skinny-dipping
Is worth a trip
Little one small step for you
A big one for mankind
Bla...

February 2016 Collage Poem

 

Jesus went for a rather long walk

Through magpie faeces to the slaughterhouse

In the stench of hate

Hanging with religious gangrene

Cushioned in silent landscapes

Immersed silently with broken hope

 

Put away like broken dishes

A poetic riddle told what it could be,

Branches creaking like hands clapping

To the answer given.
