workshop
The thrill of the chase
satin and lace
The ecstasy of being caught
wedding dress sought
The miracle of first born
christening gown, already worn
The sadness of divorce
dressed for hearse
Can you not see them
laughing at you
Not your friends
nor your enemies
They just do not care
Stumble over to them
Hit your head on the floor
keel over
They laugh
You lie their
Unconscious
Bruised forehead
They laugh even more
The story.Good for dinner parties
Social gatherings, pub nights
Given more to drink,
your voice slurring,
you weave over to the pool table
Bumping into it,
Using the cue upside down
on second thought
legal tender
could have been construed
as legal money
but legally tender
is all about any honey,
anyone can so decide
these metaphorical views
which are impossible to hide".
you have had a say
your way
but folks will see your implications
their own personal way,
so take away or give in
what is this?
but a delight which resides
in the inner hearts recesses
of a poet deep within
ere the dream weighing heavy
we drag the stones in candle lit tombs
on wagons like thrones
cathedrals on mutton and mead
and in the morning washed with the
thin light like a supple soup
we bathe in stone cold rivers
the dust like ghosts we shed
laughing or in stillness while the
sheep stir and the sheperds ease
eyes on the gold of a sunrise
the wolves away for starlight ventures
and the masons in their aprons talc
fingered on blueprints to scaffolds
that would make Babel proud
haps I should have learned to swim better
maybe it wasn't so smart to paddle out
in a fifteen foot cyclone surf
on a foam board
Mum and Dad
will be so mad
I wonder if
I'll get in trouble?
They say your life
flashes before
your eyes
when you die
this shouldn't
take long,
I'm only
twelve.

Rain is speaking
beneath the sky
a paper roams
indifferent filling dark
eyes on font
subtle soft like chalk
a dampness clinging
full of illusions
the pains of growth
healed and broken
I remember our river
chilled with the spring
the slush flowing swift
like blossoms of winter
gardens of lush
knowing
The damned off switch doesn't work
images play on and on
appearing unexpectedly
they flash up at night, noon and dawn
And the volume is full blast
endlessly assaulting my tired ears
interrupted by that ringing sound
so loud it nearly causes tears
Pictures of death I can't turn off
sounds of agony at night
and I just can't find the off switch
somehow that just don't seem right
Lala was the female front for twiggy belly buddy
Twiggy married lala to pretend normality
So no one knew that twiggy had nefarious activities
For twiggy was a gay bod but he didn’t want to be
Viewed like all the other men who were belly buddies
Ostracised and criticised for their sexuality
Poor lala traipsed with twig for all the world to see
While dips and po hide in the background happy as can be
For lala does not know that she is just a pseudo front
A pretend wife whose only use is just to bear the brunt
Frozen
in shock
Why didn’t I knock?
You could have locked the door
or was that part of the thrill
knowing you’d be caught for sure
If looks could kill
She’d be underground
I’m trying to keep my temper bound
I thought both of you were my best friend
now of course that has to end
Frozen
in shock
Why didn’t I knock?
those precious moments we search for
in the far recesses of our warped minds
we keep searching for solace,
as we leave time behind
and
march towards a stage
where rage
is the order of the day
and
page by page
we recall those very moments tall
we wish to time and again recall
but moments of momentum
are all so very few
we all love memories
how so ever old or new
