Echoes: ‘a glorious anthology… bursting with delightful poems’ Buy now. Limited stocks.

notepad poems (i regrettably, probably wrote)

 

(i)

rising off the table

ether fumes 

mute yesterday's voice 

giving birth to the future's tongue

rejoice 

rejoice 

for a poetic cunnilingus king is born in bedlam. 

 

southern cross hanging 

above the cradle of mankind 

shining brighter than pit of kimberlite mines

hollow space inflated 

breathing life into language's diaphragm.

 

preaching poetic alchemy 

& fashioning blood into ink 

pound for pound no illusionist would dare

take on the wordsmith with butterfly fused bee sting verse.

 

 (ii)

smoke rises, 

seeping through scattered torn limbs 

among rubble, shards of glass

and melting plastic dolls.

 

under the waning crescent moon 

the closing chapter opened a new book. 

 

Begorrah! 

Deborah, the queen honey bee 

has flown off

leaving behind her hive, 

ditching the colony 

death to her family! 

 

(iii)

in a field of sunflowers engulfed by flames

a blazing tower of hellfire

fanned higher by the chemical rain. 

asteroids crashed into volcanoes

as magma shot exploding  

a sea of lava rose bubbling

burning through the landing.

 

Icelandic clouds of ash soaked into the sky 

blanketing & blacking out sunlight

casting a shadow of suffocating night

over the field unyielding to morning. 

 

curtain curtail 

darkness dulls bright

we wait for a dragon to fight the dying of night.

(i)

rising off the table

ether fumes 

mute yesterday's voice 

giving birth to the future's tongue

rejoice
