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…
Little Cartier watch
The delicate gold watch glittered on her thin wrist as she prepared breakfast, just like she did every morning for the last 30 years. He always wanted toast, lightly buttered and only two pieces which he would sit in the lounge watching the morning news before going to work, leaving his plate balanced on the…
Functioning
Needle punctured skin seeking the elusive vein before the syringe drew some blood into its murky brown water filled barrel. The two liquids fought for supremacy until the plunger steadily was pressed jettisoning its payload into the arm. Cheap adulterated street strength heroin and amphetamine cocktail fired its way though, affecting everything it met until…
