What bile and bluster is contained,in insipid ungrateful men.The ones who want to hijack and harangue,shouting misogynistic slurs,always overbearing.Making a day about women about them,not even passive aggressive,who needs the passive part.When telling rape jokes,or fallaciously commenting.Downplaying all that women feel and fear,with simple lines that just echo,“what about us men?”As if every other day…

Longing
The scent of youlingered on the pillow,fabric kissed deeply making it yours.The hour had passedeven though no longer therea ghost remained,in a glowing mental collage.Entwined togetherwhispering edicts of lovepassionate solemnity.Thoughts to keep me warmuntil we meet again tonight.
Winter on the moor
Clouds encumberedlazily pushing themselves along the open sky,Blocking the weakened sunAs the wind blows cold icy air along the moor.Down the valleys and up the steep hillsHarkening the approach of winter’s grace.Frozen petals parachute delicately from the heavensA flurry of dancing lace dotting the landscapeIn silken beauty as the crystals fall.Steeping the land in its…
Personal Independence Payment
They make you jump through many hoops,Filling forms, doctors’ notes needed,Hoping that’s all they need to choose,To stop them feeling so cheated.Bureaucratic nightmare lies in wait.Consuming all hope lade before,Dancing over your broken dreamsAt your inadequacies, a mirthless guffaw.Yet, you put yourself to their tests,Bracing to be found not quite whole.Living through examination stress,A dark…
Forever in your arms
Eclipsed by your wondrous charm,Warms my heart in subtle bliss.Holding close, fragranced, enchantedPerfumed by your love.A beaming smile granted.Each and every single day. In the hardest light of day,Which could oust a spell or charm,No sadness from my heart granted.Or a transient empty blissFor you are my only loveEnchantment beyond enchanted. Magic woven, heart enchanted,Cloistered…
Polyphemus
The swiveling eye in central place,Staring deep around his sheep.Pulling the corners of his faceWhilst looking for that peep.Odysseus, crafty hidingUnder the belly of a ramShouting “I am nobody”,Like an awful bullish man.The cyclops picks up a boulder,With arms strong and firmTosses it at the shouty git,With a lesson set to learnOdysseus should have neverPoked…
Sauntering
Sauntering through the lie that lies within,seeing what is said unto all those things.Do I explain my thoughts?a painting? a photograph?overarching details, rippled in black ink.A convention that lingers in Imaginationsplendidly writing swathes across the page,with thoughts coursing and surfacingI listen for one more time.The other writers discuss discoursedipped and dappled,the torrential tumbling thinkingentwined, encapsulated…
The beach
Dad said “it pays to be selective”as he urged us to another spot.The golden rays of sunshine arcing overheadbouncing off azure waves rolling,as we trod diligently on.“Here. Stop here” was urgently warbledbags dropped, towels whipped and placed,parents sunning themselves,Turning rosy red with hints of crimson burns.We kids, build castles in glorious sandwith towers high and…
Brainwashed
Ingratiate that part of yourself,Sell that bleeding battered soul.Remember they’re only trying to ‘help’To bring you into the fold.Be the silent ticking cog,Work in the grinding machineObfuscate reality into a smogMurder all your dreams.Listen repeatedly to their liesLaced with madness and the darkYour individuality has been compromisedAs they brand you with their mark.Politics making society…
The man in black
Light cast into the street as he evacuated the house quickly as another plate smashed near his head, venomous shouts were aimed barbed with the vitriol of his beleaguered wife. Spurned again for his folly and his roving eye. A plate Frisbee’d through the doorway clipping his forehead as he turned on his heel and…
