hy-brids

be rare invectives and infectious paw
licking the feeble
force crush
directed head digits
consensus latent
and lamp heat
acumen hatched
rays lay
splay slay
turrets watch- lordess
to all the land...............
re-open circuits

Spoken Truth

I see your face
in the morning light
clouded with doubts,
left unspoken
as we face a tempest,
threatening to sink us
in a sea of insecurity.

Don't fell prey to the malign
spread by hearts riddled
with cancerous envy,
trying to lead us astray.
Listen to me and believe,
for you're the only one
who possessed
my heart,
my soul,
my body
all surrendered to you.
Search your heart,
you know this is true

l o r e m i p s u m

bread and butter
sunsets supper

knead dreams
while threading bows
a candle hue throws
warmth
sufficient glow

cigarettes tawdry glow
a rim on an irise
of most in depth lost blue
the spark like a buoy
a jewel marker

wrists performing magic
in bowls shadow
Bactine and a tin of
proof rum
the steady hand drawn stitches
parted with the gift of the honed
point repairs in rouge and
anger flare
the shirt sewn neat
lye and bleach

Friday Night is a Fallacy

It may not be high class,
but there's value to keeping a spot in the gutter,
to throw your guts up into on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday night;
Thursday I brush the rot out from between back teeth,
spitting out broken bone fragments,
swirling down the drain with the excess of saliva and blood;
It may pay off to maintain this stance of confidence,
sweeping the room for the sordid affection I crave,
just for the night, just for this moment, I'll be gone before the dawn breaks;

Good and sad

you all have not remembered
one now out of sight
do say so
a simple poet
you and all know
off the cuff
composer
lets you aall
in the garbage bin of time
dispose
some repose
all now suppose

hankering again eh!
if master sees it
quickly read it
then twill be deleted

He is coming
go see out of the window,
leave the door ajar
we will know ,
when he is not far..
but do never forget
what lovely poets
we all are!

ON DEAF EARS

Stay! you hands, don't move so fast,
or at least slow down a bit.
Too quickly "now" fades to the past
and I already have too much of it.

Cease your endless headlong race,
give me a pause to catch my breath
as hours speed across your face
hastening all toward our death.

Is it that you do not realize
just yesterday I was a child
who ran and played with joyful cries
with imagination free and wild ?

Remembrance

Retracing the past
where dear memories bloomed
as moments shared
filled with colours of love,
friendship and innocence

The best years of my life
are in my youth
when my body is filled
with more vigor
and the heart is fresh
with hope and dreams
for the future

Passing...

Eye-blink of Mother Nature
Rain came pouring down
Washing the dust from vision

The neon-splash of color
Rippled from the wind
Reflected in the window

Footprints disappear in night
Passage unremarked
Happy doorways beckon me

Alien’s humans

Alien’s humans
But we are not yet established as aliens
once we are able to make a city
on Moon and Mars
also get used to the atmosphere there
after many, many die in thin air
then when we establish
that we can establish,

a very bright lad like someone
okay like me, will say
see I told you we all are aliens by the way
so till then do stay
yes accept we may have been
once upon a times aliens
