Spanning across a thousand yards, Across boulevards, circuit lines and bottle shards, Stands a spectacle, stoic and skeletal. For 800 years those pinnacles like needles, Awaits to spike a fallen angel… Perhaps on one of my nocturnal musings I might see an angel hanging On your pinnacle like a flag hoisted of white and goldContinue reading “Spectre”

Vain
I died and became a scarab beetle, reborn in Savannah’s torrid heat.Spinning dung, I’m on the look out for bigger obstacles.Spiders, wildebeests maybe even an African eagle?Spin, spin, spin. vision-360 degrees. Spin, spin, spin – a resting oryx At a distance, a rhino beetle. I disregard. Spin, Spin, SPIN! – centipedes curling on a moundContinue reading “Vain”
Visions
The blind man and the rooster.Walked miles and miles together.Offerings of corn by village folk they shared together.He sang to him and he clucked in acknowledgement.One night, the blind man slept intoxicated. The rooster pecked him in several places, unintended.At dawn, from every peck arose an eyeball. He could see it all!!Sky and land! FeetContinue reading “Visions”
Wolpertinger
There once was a creature, so chthonic, Sighted in the woods of Wyoming. A hybrid hare with pronghorn antlers, Names it had, Jackalope and Wolpertinger. With time it fostered many portmanteau, Even a love story between a hare and a roe. At La Bonte its head was a show, Herrick the hunter made a bitContinue reading “Wolpertinger”

Blue light hypnosis.Hopeless! Eugene’s world was a virtual closet. Gaping at the screen, in cyberspace she reigned supreme.The world outside was falling apart! the war! Benzene, Bromine, Ethene. Eugene! GET OUT!! I witness the transmutation! Cable queen! Nerve endings jutting out merging with machine wires. Her face a sanctum of multiplying tumours.

Wasted
They said it would be the bloodiest battle history ever witnessed.For years they practised in mock battles, drank potions to grow fearless.The battle it came. Chanting slogans ‘this is Armageddon’Onward and ahead ‘dead more honourable than dread’Hammers sprung, spears soaring, helmets crushed, jaws smashing, sounds of bronze shattering, limbs flying.Screams and metals clanking.Deafening until silenceContinue reading “Wasted”
Who am I?
From lunacy and pandemonium, arose an attire of delirium. The man behind the suit can be your best chum or a repulsive scum. He wore a maniacal grin, from the ruffles of his linen comes a trick, another gimmick. You could gape in awe, applaud or guffaw. Or roll your eyes but he never failsContinue reading “Who am I?”
Cobalt
Oh hello there, I see you coming, Descending on me, like a feather floating. maybe softly humming, wavlets of teal transparency. Nonchalantly, you shall again take away my bleached normalcy. Here you are to engulf me.. now a world I see.. of cobalt blue, the only hue cast from this prism encompassing this macrocosm. SetContinue reading “Cobalt”
My Pretty slain frog
In remembrance of a frog who unfortunately crossed paths with me many years ago. Kicking dirt. Torpid motion. Risen from an abyssal aestivation. A scheme drawn whilst licking her eyeball. Through the reeds she will crawl, Onto the lettuce leaf, leap a free-fall And then to sprawl…… Spit hunt a spider for dinner… Sedated kinesisContinue reading “My Pretty slain frog”
