ABOUT SERPENTS AND THINGSSS

like a cobra you slither
in high grass
hidden from sight, hissing
your sibilants,
dancing your dance
of seduction
trying to mesmerize
the senses
and confuse the mind:
before you strike.
but I know who you are
and I know your lies.
you have called my name
many times
but my soul is diamond
and gold and will fly
with the wind when
my flesh turns cold.

radial run
the dust and the rum
roll a weed stix
get your love fix
the leather creaking
in the love shift

television ballads
bed sheet splay
snowflake foreplay
drifting down in
sweet abandon
to a candles flicking
tongue
insence
and lipgloss
intoxicants
and numbing wonder pills
melting in the mouth
the trip is about to begin
is everybody in
(morrisons line)

HUNTED

The fury of the days
leaves me to near insanity
and my thoughts steal
my dreams away
I cannot keep the pace
of a world gone mad
in a race to oblivion.
I have no will
to resist the coming slaughter.
the Beast seeks the ecstasy
of torment and the taste
of my innocence

A Soldiers Delight

If only someone
jumped like this
on to me
I would for all my life
have remained straight
standing
as I do always

come someone
make me brave
standing through life's midway

Now I stand only
half way
let me shoulder
your weight and prove
to be brave
as a soldiers shoulders

may come half way
I will run towards
your pathway
can you help me
to thy soul save!

This Magic In The Sky

As the dusk of darkness settles in the
sky above
The setting of the sun masters
colors we all love
Stars begin to twinkle, covering the
heavens at night
As the moon appears in its beautiful
array so bright

Magically in different forms until it
comes to be full
The starry dippers chasing one another
as in a duel
Disappearing as the clouds come into
sight with haste
The rain falls supplying the earth with a thirst filled taste

Without warning,
the Reaper's blade sings.
Life meets its end
in the grip of Fate's hands.

Sadness,
happiness
tears and
laughter,
all lost to the dead,
leaving empty shells
devoid of emotions..

Truly,
the test
is for the living
who saw the harsh face
of a cruel reality
which robbed them
of their loved ones.

ABOUT OXYMORONS
I’ve written my soul on
the walls of this place
a small but warm space
filled with ghosts of yesterday
and moments of memories
veiled in a sweet melancholy.
I long to tell my secrets, my life,
to another of similar kind,
but I am an oxymoron of
complex simplicity
and Time is impatient
to push me quickly on

I haven't known you as long as some
but twelve months we shared a home,
through that time I got to know you
down through skin and to the bone

Like a pesky big brother you'd giggle
as you'd play tricks and laugh all day,
that we didn't always see eye to eye
is all that I have no regrets to say

I know the demons that lived inside
couldn't fade your soul burning white,
that's not to say you weren't naughty
you'd come home in the deep of night

Slowly maturity catches on in beautiful shape
Like rising flames of a lit candle
Slowly melting its smooth white host in scandal
Conspicuous to eyes
For its footfall certainly not lies
Providence vanishes in the way
Of embracing hearts
As a bat jumbled in a sunny day
Crossfire, oblivious of hovering darts,
Innocent of the conspiring locust
Waiting patiently at all cost
To rape.
